based on something I witnessed between my friends and their little sister

DC x DP Ideas

For 'reasons', Ellie has been transferred to Gotham Academy under the guise of living with her guardian Vlad Masters but she's actually living with Dante, Danny, and Jazz.

From the moment she arrived, she had become rivals with Damian Wayne in everything from academics to sports and even the arts.

They wouldn't admit it but they were having fun. Having a rival who's always trying to one-up you, forcing yourself and each other to become better, more extraordinary. (It made a great distraction from their complicated home lives.)

But somewhere along the line, something had changed.

After a debate competition that was held at the school, Damian couldn't help but gush talk about this girl, his friend, Danielle Masters, and how cool and competent she was, and how she was the only person in the school worthy enough to be friends with him. (Awe baby's first crush!) But, ah, Dames, what's an ectoplasmic being and how are they not sapient or sentient?

On the other hand, Ellie is livid. She had Dan buy her a punching bag just so she could put Damian's face on it. She thought he was her friend! Turns out he's just another anti-ectoplasmic being supporter. She tries every day, to go to school, talk to him, and pretend everything is normal. But every time she sees his face and perfect smile of victory, her blood boils with a cold icy rage. (How dear he proclaims so proudly the ghosts are not truly living beings!! Just because we are dead doesn't mean we do not live on.)

Good thing Danny knows how to make portals now! Because when she gets home she's gonna go ape shit.

Lightning round!

Adores their kids friends: Briar's parents, Maddie's dad, Blondies parents, Ravens dad, The Charming's (for early story)

Hates their kids friends: Hunters parents, Duchess's grandmother, Faybelle's mother (Evil doesn't have friends), The Charming's (post spring unsprung when Darling start openly rebelling more)

Is very confused by their kids friends: Ginger's mom, Raven's dad (he's not mad, just surprised considering, y'know, everything her mother did.)

Is very scared for their kids friends, because of the unspoken tragic nature of their destiny: Briars parents, Ashlynn's parents, Raven's dad, Duchess's grandmother, Cupids parents

Also lol, cannon! Snow White probably does hate most of Apples friends, but Revamp au! Snow is a pretty different character and likes most of them... except for Briar.

You see Ashlynn's got an epic work ethic and a whole lot of that princess-helping-others vibe going on so she gets the Snow White stamp of approval. Blondie has her show and puts a lot of work into it, and she's very loyal to the Royals both before and after legacy day, so she falls into a the same "nice, hardworking young girl" territory that Ashlynn does in Snows view, just with "naive" tacked on to it due to the more gossip-y nature of her show. But Briar...

Snow wouldn't say she hates her. Briar is a kid, and Snow is a an adult who knows from personal experience that having beef with a high schooler is deranged. But she does worry that Briar is a bit of a bad influence on Apple.

Like sure she's a nice kid, but Briar is definitely the opposite of the traditional princess standard that the Whites have. When Apple hangs out with Ashlynn or Blondie she usually comes home touting pictures of them helping orphaned baby animals or a Just Right episode where Apple and Blondie discuss the five most ethical cape brands to buy from before winter and what not. But when Apple hangs out with Briar she always comes back with a story about how Briar took her to go extreme pogoing across the enchanted glades or threw this giant party that went past Apples bed time or forgot to do her thronework again and needed Apples help to finish it before class. Ashlynn and Blondie come over for tea and to compare summer reading notes, Briar comes over talking about how much fun skate boarding is, how Apple should totally try it, and how she doesn't understand why her father tried to ban it from the castle. Oh, her wrist? don't worry about it Mrs. White, she clipped a statue while doing a grind trick in the courtyard, but the cast should be off just in time for school to start. No, she doesn't see how what she just said and her parents skateboard ban could be correlated.

Briar, in her attempts to "live it up now" likes to push boundaries - and often pushes Apple to do the same. During their first year if Apple was ever in an incident report from school her name was usually followed by "-tried to stop Ms. Beauty from skipping class to go to an extreme sports festival," Or, "-helped Ms. Beauty to the nurses office after a potion mishap in Chemythstry," Or even once, "- and Ms. Ella helped sing the enchanted birds from Beast Training and Care back into their cages after Ms. Beauty released them." Snow has never had to check which Ms. Beauty it was. (She should have since Rosabella was actually the last one, but Briar had solidly earned her spot as the bad-influence-friend months earlier with the enchanted pogoing thing.)

And in a way she is kind of right? At least if your idea of bad influence is breaking the rules. Something that Briar does early on in the Revamp au is encourage Apple to ask to be Ravens roommate without telling her mother. As royal student council president she gets to choose her own roommate, and she was planning on rooming with Briar - but then she finds out that Raven might be not as dedicated to her destiny, so Apple ask to be Ravens roommate instead. But she can't tell Snow that, because her mother might freak out and insist she room with someone else, but Apple feels it's her duty as future queen to help others so she can't room with anyone else, but she can't lie to her mom Briar she just can't! and Briar's like "well. i mean you could".

Briar brings out the teenager in Apple. She encourages her to have fun, to try new things, to be lazy or moody or wild or just be. It's something Apple desperately needs, but it certainly hasn't made her popular with Snow White.
