For Hatta; ☠: Their worst nightmare. ☮: How they keep calm. ♥: How they show affection. ✍: What language(s) they can speak. ✖: A trait they despise in people. <3

☠: Their worst nightmare. 

Her worst nightmare would be the loss of the people she loves.  In all of her verses Mad March is one of, if not the most important, person in her life.  Then there are the verses where she finds love, those people become just as important as March.  Losing any of those people that she loves would kill her.  The only worst nightmare for her would be if Cora got their hands on them and pulled their heart from their chest.

☮: How they keep calm. 

She has several ways that she keeps calm.  In some of her earlier verses, she uses emotions, which are like "real world" drugs.  Hatta uses them to help control and stabilize her emotions.  If she's in the "real world", she will often smoke cigarettes to keep calm.  A constant is her key and the way that she holds on to it when she is nervous.  Music is also another constant for her to keep herself calm.

♥: How they show affection. 

Hatta loves to show affection to people that she cares about.  This can range from learning how they love their tea, their favorite snack, and their favorite meal.  She'll also hug them, kiss their forehead, comforting them in anyway that they can.  Her affection only grows with the more love that she has for the person.

✍: What language(s) they can speak. 

English only.

✖: A trait they despise in people. 

Lying.  If she finds out that you lied to her, she will quickly cut you out of her life for good.

♦ (one for each)

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

Leiella always has her iPod with her.  It is as much of a security item as her key is.  If she's walking through a crowd, she'll have it on playing one of her many playlist.  Leiella would not survive living in New York (or any other large city) with out it.

Hatta will almost always stand with her hands behind her back, fingers laced.  This started as a way to keep herself from touching Mad March before he allowed her to touch him in their later verses.  She can't shake the quirk now, and it's became a constant in all of her verses.

LJ collects glass bottles of all shapes, sizes and colors.  It's a hobby that started as a child, and it's one of the few things from her childhood that she still holds on to.

Pull up a chair, because this one might get a bit long.  hehe

Wonderland

After she is freed from the castle and placed in a safe house, Hatta (Still Leiella at the time), hits rock bottom.  She ends up being saved by the Dormouse.  This is how Hatta originally arrives at the White Rabbit Building.  She makes her home on the 22nd floor, turning the entire floor into this HUGE open air loft.  The hatter makes herself a garden up there near a huge floor to ceiling window.  She also has a small hidden area in there for her to hide in.  Her office, as well as living quarters, are on the same level.  Hatta will entertain friends up there, and she has a small area set up with a table for tea.  The only way to get to her floor is by the lift.  (In her darker moments, she will handle her more torturous hobbies on the 22nd floor.)  The emotions are sold on the floor level of the White Rabbit building, but Hatta keeps the darker emotions upstairs with her, only selling those to specific clients.

Storybrooke

She lives in a small house near the river in the woods.  This is a bit of a cruel joke that she swears Cora played on her through Regina.  Hatta was terrified of the woods in Wonderland because of the Jaberwocky.  (This was before she befriended the man cursed to be the Wocky.)  Her house has a garden outback, and it is full of items very precious to her.  Most are references to people that she loves and cares for.  Over time, she comes to learn the woods like the back of her hand, overcoming her fear of them.  The hatter rarely goes completely into town, however, and only very few people know the location of her home.  About the only time she is in town is to run her tea shop, and then she returns home.

Land Without Magic

Hatta has a few threads/verses where she decides to live in the land without magic.  In most of these, she owns a building where she runs the tea shop downstairs.  Often, she will also have a bakery as a part of this.  Hatta will live upstairs.  She is very cautious about traveling freely in the land without magic, partly due to her anxiety.  (As well as being out of reach of the people she considers her protectors.)

Bedroom - All verses

In any verse that she settles down in, her bedroom really becomes her hide away.  There are typically taerie lights on the walls.  The bed sheets don’t match, and they are a variety of bright and rich colors.  There are lots of pillows on the bed.  There are photographs, sketches, and paintings of people, places and things that are important to her dotting the walls.  In more than one location there are art supplies, as well as piles of sketch books and journals.

Hatta is based in the world created in SyFy’s Alice.  That is her Wonderland, and I’ve added in things from the books, as well as the other movies.  (Her Wonderland is not sweet or brightly colored, and don’t get her started on OUATIW’s version of Wonderland.)

I digress, but my point is that in the end of the Alice miniseries, you learn that Alice was only gone from the real world for only an hour.  Now, her time in Wonderland spanned days, if not weeks.  So that gives you a taste of the differences in the way time works between the worlds.

She ages slower.  She’s not immortal, but she’s also not completely human by real world standards.  Hatta is a Wonderlander, through and through.  When she barely escapes her execution at the hands of Mad March, Hatta is a young woman.  It is nearly ten years before March finds her again, and her appearance barely changes.

Now, from that point, her timeline splits depending on verses.  If she goes to Storybrooke, she is completely frozen in time for 28 years.  She eventually returns to Wonderland, but it is completely different.  A LOT more than 28 years passed by in Wonderland.  Nothing is the same, and almost all of the people she knew are gone.  

The other possibility is that the curse didn’t take her.  She was left abandoned in Wonderland the entire time that her friends were locked in Storybrooke.  This is the verse where her madness really grows, because she honestly has no one to keep her in check.  

Now, all of this rambling has a point, I swear.  By the time Hatta begins to travel realms, she appears to be a young woman in her mid-twenties by “real” world standards.  In reality, she is probably closer to forty to sixty depending on just where in her timeline she is.  The longer that she stays in the “real” world without the effects of the curse, her body adjusts a little, and she will begin to age.  Even still, it’s at a slower rate than “normal” humans.  She maintains her slower aging in the Enchanted Forests as well.

Headcanon - Leiella and Hatta - Hogwarts verse

For the sake of this verse, the girls are twins.  Leiella goes by Lei for the most part when at Hogwarts.  Hatta, while her birth name in that verse is Leiloki, she will tend to go by her nickname.  In many ways, the girls are polar opposites of each other.

Headcanon - Hatta's Hogwarts House

Hatta is a Ravenclaw.  Even with her more chaotic nature at times, she is extremely intelligent and resourceful.  She has accepted herself, and is openly accepting of anyone, as long as you are not cruel to her.  She is her own person, individual and unique.

Send ♪ for a song that instantly lifts my muse’s mood.

Be Still by The Killers

Now, this song is incredibly important to Hatta.  She has the title of it tattooed on the inside of her right wrist.  It was the song that March sang to her the night that she almost overdosed.  He didn’t know for awhile that she remembered that part of that night, but the hatter did.  The song kept her calm then, and she will often sing or hum it to herself when she’s nervous.  Sometimes she will even rub the tattoo.  While it might not “lift” her mood per say, it does do wonders to calm her down and level out her mood.  (Lyrics under the cut)

Be stillAnd go on to bedNobody knows what lies aheadAnd life is shortTo say the leastWe’re in the belly of the beastBe stillWild and youngLong may your innocence reignLike shells on the shoreAnd may your limits be unknownAnd may your efforts be your ownIf you ever feel you can’t take it anymoreDon’t break characterYou’ve got a lot of heartIs this real or just a dream?Rise up like the sunLabor till the work is doneBe stillOne day you’ll leaveFearlessness on your sleeveWhen you’ve come back, tell me what did you seeWhat did you seeWas there something out there for me?Be stillClose your eyesSoon enough you’ll be on your ownSteady and straightAnd if they drag you through the mudIt doesn’t change what’s in your blood(Over chains)When they knock you downDon’t break characterYou’ve got a lot of heartIs this real or just a dream?Be stillBe stillBe stillBe stillOver rock and chainOver sunset plainOver trap and snareWhen you’re in too deepIn your wildest dreamIn your made up schemeWhen they knock you downWhen they knock you downDon’t break characterYou’ve got sooooo much heartIs this real or just a dream?Oh Rise up like the sunAnd labor till the work is doneRise up like the sunLabor till the work isRise up like the sunAnd labor till the work is done

Send ♯ for a song that brings up a bad memory / bad memories for my muse.

Colorful Mind by Broken Iris

[Verse 1:]Picture perfect,Mutilation.Bright to black,With no hesitation.All the right shades,On the wrong page.Make up this colorful mind,This colorful mind,Of mine.[Verse 2:]Soothing brush strokes,Scraping paint.Loosen your grip,Before it all fades.Vibrant rays,Eclipsed by the haze.Make up your colorful mind,Much less colorful.[Chorus 1:]Will this be,Another day in night in here?The knifes not sharp enough to fear.If I ever see you in white,Try to stay.The room’s not lighted for a gray.[Chorus 2:]Will this be,Another day in night,If I ever see you in white?[Chorus 1:]Will this be,Another day in night in here?The knifes not sharp enough to fear.If I ever see you in white,Try to stay.The room’s not lighted for a gray.[Verse 3:]If I ever see you in white.Try to stay,The room’s not lighted for a gray.(Make up this colorful mind.)

This really makes her think about the darkest part of her madness, and how she had many nights alone.  It's a lot of bad memories, and how she thinks not many would want to deal with her problems.
