Okay, so I had made a post about fun facts about the Haunted Class, but I noticed I hadn't revealed enough, and I still have more facts to tell you all. So, I am taking that old post and updating it!
Miguel actually has a healthy sleep routine. He only stays awake until late hours of the night (or just chooses not to sleep) when he is too fixated on an obsession.
As Sparky commented, he had a habit of dressing himself like Sherlock Holmes, Batman, and Fred as a child.
His favorite snack is cheesy bread (it's a Brazilian snack, which is basically a small bread whose dough has cheese combined with it).
His favorite dessert is "brigadeiro" (also known as chocoballs in some countries), and he still hasn't tasted a French dessert that tastes half as good.
He is a bit of a coffee addict.
As Detective Stripes, he sometimes likes to say "Elementary, my dear *insert akuma name*", something which the akumatized villains and Null find cringe-worthy sometimes.
Despite knowing how to fight (Bartitsu), he knows nothing about sports and is terrible at P.E. (relate a lot with him in this one).
Although his mother is Colombian, he knows nothing about Spanish. He tried learning it, but, in his words, "it's like Portuguese but harder!"
He sometimes likes to watch old Brazilian telenovelas to relieve stress after a long day.
He is great at signing. It all started when he was little and heard some conspiracy theories about the music teacher. To investigate, he started singing lessons. Turns out that there was nothing suspicious about the teacher, and he discovered that he liked to sing. It's not something he is interested in pursuing professionally, however.
Class of Heroes: Siguel is planning on starting magic lessons soon. Partially because he is interested... and partially because he thinks it will help him solve everyone's problems more easily (especially cause it seems like everyone needs his help to solve whatever problem appears).
Class of Villainy: Pharaoh Miguel really likes "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry (it was the only song somehow connected to Egypt I could think of).
Enchanting Academy: Miguel is technically royalty here since his mother is from the "Beauty" family, so sometimes he gets to have a vacation at his grandma's castle.
DC AU: The events surrounding Spectral-Eye escaping the Omnitrix were so traumatic that Miguel rarely speaks about them.
Marvel AU: Friskel is frequently seen tired because he is the first monster embassator in the surface and he has way too many responsibilities for a kid his age.
Claire ⭐:
Claire has a TERRIBLE sleeping schedule. It's not uncommon for her to spend the whole night awake while playing video games.
She is rarely in a bad mood, but she will pout when you wake her up or try to take her away from her gaming.
She once removed her mask and coughed at Lovelle to escape from her anthics (her condition isn't contagious, but since Lovelle thinks so, she doesn't mind taking advantage of it from time to time).
She wishes she could drink coffee, but it gives her stomachaches, and it's too bitter for her taste.
She loves sweets, and it isn't rare for Miguel to stop her from eating a whole cake at once. (he doesn't want her to spend the whole night in the bathroom vomiting.)
As stated before, she learned to play the piano with a nice lady who owned a music shop near her house.
She doesn't like judging people based on first meetings.
She is one of the few students in her class who has the guts to tell Aria to shut up when she is crossing the line.
Eloise and Anais managed to gift her a telescope for her 13th birthday.
She isn't a big fan of visual novels. Mostly cause she usually falls asleep while reading the lines of dialogue.
Class of Heroes: In theory, Clairzy is only supposed to use pixie dust on special occasions... but she likes using it whenever she can. In her defense, flying is indeed cooler than walking.
Class of Heroes 2: Clairzy always manages to recognize Siguel when he transforms into an animal through his amulet.
Class of Villainy: Lunaire claims she is allergic to sunlight, which is why she always wears hoodies. (In reality, she isn't allergic. She just either spends way too much time in her room or she just goes out at night to steal.)
Enchanting Academy: Claire is the first Cinderella to not be interested in faction. Sure, she likes to dress up fancy from time to time, but, unlike many of her ancestors, she doesn't like designing clothes for herself.
DC AU: She has fallen in love with Miguel at first sight, her... and she had to wait 4 long years for him to notice it (don't worry, he won't fumble the ball).
Marvel AU: Cranilaire and Cosette randomly like to make "break the fourth wall" competitions.
Lance🦸♂️:
Lance is TERRIBLE at socializing. Since he was too focused on being the best sidekick possible to his father growing up, he never hung out with kids at school, and never developed many social skills.
He is also VERY competitive (which is also rooted in his need to make his father proud), which makes others think he is arrogant.
He learned how to cook with his family's butler (whom he sees as a grandfather-figure), but he isn't a part of the cooking clique cause of how shy and antisocial he is.
At first, he was determined to become the captain of the basketball team and take Soo-Yeon and Victoria's place... until he noticed how much of an annoyance Danton was and made his focus simply outshine him instead.
He has glare competitions with Kagami from time to time. They can last hours and hours (neither of these two likes to give up).
Miguel is genuinely his first friend ever, so that's why he is the person he talks most openly to.
He also does his best cause he is afraid of being seen as a failure.
He hates people who play dirty and who break the rules, and that's why he always holds his powers back whenever he is competing.
Has amazing reflexes and has a very light touch.
Secretly has a very geeky side, but he will never admit it to anyone. (Not like he needs to admit it, cause Miguel already knows).
He is the kind of guy who complains at superhero movies whenever the adaptation isn't faithful to the character's comic book counterpart, personality-wise.
He is quite popular with the girls, but he never flirts back cause he is very awkward.
He frequently has pan-panics whenever both Marinette and Adrien hug him.
He was the one who bought the costumes that the good guys from the Haunted Class and the Chaos Class wore during last Halloween (the one Weeby wrote a one-shot for), since he knows some of them can't afford it (like Owen), or whose parents wouldn't give them the money to buy them (like Sora). (It's also the reason they weren't part of the "let's test if Eri is a witch" scheme. They were all shopping together.)
Class of Heroes: Jance tried to go through the tests to earn the ability to fly without pixie dust (like Simon Pan does) once, but he failed. It's a touchy subject.
Class of Villainy: Lantrix has used a spell to make his dorm room soundproof because he can't sleep whenever the other villainous students laugh wickedly in the middle of the night.
Enchanting Academy: Lance's pants and shoes are enchanted to grow with him whenever he activates his powers; he is still looking for a magic shirt that does that, however.
DC AU: Although he has his own limitations when it comes to dealing with villains... if you hurt either Mallory or Miguel, he will have no mercy on you.
Marvel AU: Due to being an aquatic monster, Lansea passes out whenever the weather is too hot or too dry.
Owen 🍪:
Owen LOVES plushies. His parents never liked spending money on toys, but his parents, on the other hand, loved to give him gifts.
He has a toy made of stone, googly eyes, and straws. He made arts and crafts back in preschool.
He LOVES hamburgers. Give him one, and he will cherish you for the rest of his life.
SpongeBob is his childhood hero. He was the one who taught him to smile no matter how hard life is (which... isn't exactly a great lesson cause it led to toxic positivity, but it did help him).
He is taking knitting lessons from Marinette and Margo so he can craft his own plushies.
He is very good at learning new languages.
He never curses; instead, he just says "Yikes forever" (Yes, Little Misfortune is one of his inspirations).
He usually covers Hyuk's eyes or ears whenever something scary is happening to protect him.
Class of Heroes: Fauwen was the one who gave Miluk his backpack here. He charmed it to have infinite space inside.
Class of Villainy: GideOwen managed to use his amulet to its highest potential, not only using it for telekinesis, but also for casting spells. He is very careful, however, so he rarely gets caught doing anything.
Enchanting Academy: Owen likes to shrink himself and enter his friends' backpacks so he can whisper words of support whenever they are going through something hard.
DC AU: Due to his shapeshifting abilities, he frequently disguises as other heroes to offer alibis so their secret identities are kept safe.
Marvel AU: Bonwen's love language is to offer others his spaghetti! (Don't worry, his is edible, unlike poor Papyrus's.)
Sora 🖊️:
He is a natural redhead (unlike Nathaniel XD).
If he is in a public space, he will always find an excuse not to talk to anyone else (he is socially anxious). If he can't write poems, he will play Subway Surfers on his phone; if his phone is without battery (which is rare), he will pretend to be asleep.
He is actually fluent in Japanese (due to his mother's insistence), but he doesn't have many opportunities to show this ability.
He has a lot of Shadow the Hedgehog merchandise.
He freezes at oral presentations. Owen usually needs to give him a push.
He thinks about Mallory every single day and every single hour. All of his current poems are about her.
He is kind of aware that Owen has feelings for him, but he doesn't openly reject him cause he is afraid of being alone (a bit of a jerk move, but again... all he needs is some therapy and for Yui to shut her mouth more often).
Yui is actually friends with Shirel, so Sora and Nathaniel sometimes get to see each other in rich kids events (but they are both two introvert redheads, so they don't interact that much).
Class of Heroes: Soric doesn't try to steal Siguel's amulet like Cedric does in canon. Instead, he usually shares his knowledge of the amulet with him.
Class of Villainy: Despite looking weak... Ninja Sora is capable of killing, so don't underestimate him.
Enchanting Academy: Sora can concentrate magic energy on his fingers and use it to cut things. He usually just uses this power to cut his food or small things. But if he acquires enough energy, he would be able to cut down an entire tree.
DC AU: Sorook loves Earth's diversity when it comes to food. Don't leave him alone at the mall's food court, he will lose all his money.
Marvel AU: Soren has a special paper and a special pen to write his poems underwater. He likes doing so because it's usually silent and peaceful.
Hyuk 💉:
Hyuk doesn't know how to swim. It's cause he is afraid of large bodies of water.
He resents his parents, and he feels bad about it. He knows they aren't abusive and that they are nowhere near as bad as Owen's or Sora's families, but he resents how they are never there for him and how they know nothing about him or his interests.
His ideal significant other is a prince(ss) charming who will keep him safe.
He keeps a teddy bear and a toy syringe in his backpack because he likes to pretend to be a doctor (since it's his dream and all).
He is actually a volunteer at the school's infirmary, and, despite being afraid of blood, he is often of great help to the school's nurse.
He is the one who cuts his own hair, and that's why it sometimes doesn't look great.
Despite being known as the Haunted Class's punching back (the main victim of Rob's pranks, a part of Lovelle's cult, which he only decided to join after being manipulated and bullied by Lovelle herlself, and the one who always agree with Aria in fear of being punished), Hyuk isn't as harmless as he seems... he is kind of time bomb close of exploding.
He has A LOT of pent-up anger. Anger towards his parents, who are rarely around; anger at Aria and Lovelle for using him as a pawn; anger at Rob's pranks (and Rob's behavior in general); anger at how no one has volunteered to help him out of his situation and anger at himself for being pathetic.
(He really is genderbend Mikan without fanservice.)
(His akuma chapter will be... interesting, to say the least.)
Class of Heroes: Miluk's bad luck once got him, Siguel, Jance, Clairzy, Scrabe, Soric, and Fauwen at the villainy dimension. They had to stay hidden the whole day until they found a way back home.
Class of Villainy: Lord Hyuker's attempts at courting Forblime's hearts vary between humiliating and comical. He still hasn't given up, however. He will manage to confess his feelings someday.
Enchanting Academy: Hyuk hates eating eggs, and just seeing them makes him feel horrified, because it reminds him of the fate he is trying to escape.
DC AU: Hyuk sometimes eats flies that fly around the school. Whenever he is caught doing so, he feels extremely embarrassed.
Marvel AU: The first thing Hyukys did when arriving at the surface was buy anime merch.
Mia 💤:
Mia's first trauma was when she witnessed her father dying in a car crash. She wasn't physically damaged, but the psychological trauma stayed there.
It was from that day onward that she started suppressing her bad memories.
(And it was also from that day onward that her traumas started manifesting as vivid nightmares).
She is scared of showing her dream journal to others cause she is afraid the others will be frightened by what she dreams.
Some examples are: bird/girl hybrids called "stalkers"; a redhead girl that turns into a monster with a weird expression whenever the lights turn off; Witches that have holes in their faces; a walking traffic light that can stop time; a Yuki-Onna; a hand that can teleport people to other places; a baby with two heads that flight; humanoid jellyfishes that can heal; and a diamond prince who is grabbing tighly a bleeding rose (which is what takes the place of kyu kyu kun, cause that thing makes me very uncomfortable).
(On a second thought... I think the peacock miraculous does fit her better than the sheep. I will write that down for the future.)
She loves anime and her favorite genre is Magical Girls (she and Reshma could probably talk about it together if Mia weren't so shy).
She loves Winx Club (from seasons 1-5) and likes to rewatch it with Mona.
(She doesn't acknowledge either Fate or the Reboot.)
Class of Heroes: Instead of creating colorful smoke by smoking, Cattermia creates it whenever she draws with her Wonderlandian chalk.
Class of Villainy: Although she specializes in illusion magic, Midria can't act at all.
Enchanting Academy: Mia never arrives in time for class. She always gets lost along the way. It's a thing of the Liddel bloodline.
DC AU: Although Mia struggles to control all of her powers, the one she struggles with the most is the power to fly.
Marvel AU: When provoked, Mielle can create deadly snowstorms with her magic ice powers.
Phoebe 👻:
Currently, she is neither alive nor dead. She has a semi-physical body that was given to her by higher forces to complete a mission (which has to do with Miss Gauche, but telling more would be spoilery).
If she hadn't died, Phoebe would have followed a music career. She would have either tried to become a singer or a ballerina.
She deeply misses her cat, so sometimes, she pets stray cats she finds on the street.
Phoebe is a big fan of Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice being one of her favorite love stories ever.
As @zexal-club suggested, during Phoebe's time as a ghost, she haunted her father as revenge until he went mad.
Again, she has the terrible act of appearing out of nowhere and scaring those nearby.
Despite being from Victorian times, she is not queerphobic. She still may not fully comprehend all the genders and sexualities, but she is happy that people are freer nowadays to express themselves.
Phoebe has complex thoughts when it comes to marriage. While she didn't like the ideas for a husband her father had in mind for her, she was raised with the idea that she would only be worthy as someone's wife. So a part of her wished she had gotten to marry, and a part of her is thankful she didn't. (Again, she is a girl from Victorian times. She has traumas.)
As stated before, she doesn't have a phone. But it's actually not that hard to talk to her. All someone needs is to say her name in school, and she will appear.
(I also like to headcanon that, eventually, when people are more sure she is a ghost of some kind, all they need to do to call her is to leave a letter with her name outside their own house.)
Class of Heroes: Despite being usually very polite, Scrabe frequently forgets to knock on doors before walking through them.
Class of Villainy: Phobeora was forced to hide her monstrous traits for so long that she currently can't stand to hide them for any longer. If people complain about her tail, she will cast a spell on them.]
Enchanting Academy: Besides dancing nonstop (like all the other ballet characters), another interesting thing about this Phoebe is that she likes making flower crowns.
DC AU: Paradoxa, once, tried to stop Simon from going back into the past. She didn't manage to convince him, but at least he listened to her advice to fix his mess.
Marvel AU: Phoeblook enjoys listening to classical music while reading her books.
Mallory 🌹:
Mallory helped everyone at school at least ONCE A WEEK. If Evie and Mindy needed help at the Choir, Mallory would be there. If Candace needed help coming up with new moves, Mallory would be there. If Juleka needed help, Mallory would be there. Her schedule was a MESS.
Mallory's favorite flowers were roses, and, although she liked the "Rose of François DuPont" nickname because of it, she sometimes felt bad when Damocles used her as an example of what other students should aspire to be.
The person Mallory least wants to disappoint is her mother. (Again, Perla is not a bad person, but she was a bit too strict with her from time to time due to Generational Trauma and frustrated dreams.)
She was never aware of Owen's feelings for Sora.
She was, however, aware of Aria and Lovelle's dislike towards her (especially because they weren't subtle at all). However, she never once said in public that she hated them (if she did and kept it to herself, however, it is something worth discussing).
Mallory's (despite having many talents) main passion was painting. As Nathaniel and Petra once described, "She can stay in front of her canvas for hours. It's the only thing she doesn't worry about being perfect''.
If she felt angry, she would take a deep breath, keep her feelings to herself, and then scream at her pillow late at night.
Sometimes, she doodled things inspired by Sora's poems.
She liked animals, but she never wanted a pet for two reasons: the first being that she preferred plants, and the second being that she thought she wouldn't have time to properly care for one.
During her time as class deputy, she was the one who kept the Haunted Class minimally stable.
Jean-Pierre was her favorite teacher (since he helped her a lot when it came to improving her art), but she also liked Mme. Winters (anyone who could keep Beau and Aria under control was a hero in her eyes).
She was NEVER punished by Miss Gauche.
She wanted to start therapy, but never got the chance.
When she started dating Danton, she didn't even imagine what his true self looked like.
Unlike Miguel, she actually knew how to speak Spanish.
Class of Heroes: Mallorena always organized parties for the young royals as a way to share their troubles and ask for advice.
Class of Villainy: Unlike most Mallorys around the multiverse, Malterra HATES young kids.
Enchanting Academy: A part of Mallory feels insecure about how her story ended, since it wasn't the classic Sleeping Beauty ending. But, at least she is excited thinking about what she will do next.
DC AU: Mallory loves how she is finally getting to interact with other magic users. She had to learn everything on her own, so, although she is good when it comes to reading spells... she struggles when it comes to pronouncing them.
Marvel AU: The first thing Malflower did when arriving at the surface was paint a landscape.
Phoeblook is a ghost type of monster who loves reading, tea, and, especially, silence.
Despite originally being from Waterfall, she moved to the ruins because she loves the peace and quiet of the place, and cause she loves Malflower's tea.
When she is immersed in a book, she ignores her surroundings, and it can be pretty hard to wake her up from this trance.
She is actually a very pleasant person to speak to.
At M.A.R.V.E.L. Academy, she mostly spends time at the library, but sometimes helps the other heroes when they need some ghostly help.
Born to Die - Song Fic - Haunted Class's Musical May
And here it is! The most emotionally painful oneshot of the Haunted Class's Musical May. Before you guys ask me why I chose this music... well, it's a bit complex. Besides the sad vibes, one thing I can tell you all about Phoebe's life is that she loved a lot of people... and that it sadly wasn't enough to keep them all safe.
Some mysteries about Phoebe were purposefully left out for the future.
And last but not least, some trigger warnings: abusive parenting, a cat getting drowned, women suffering in Victorian times, lobotomies, and awful people... very awful people.
I would also like to say that Phoebe's story is also important to show how hard things were for women across history and why feminism is still important nowadays.
François Dupont was a school that was no stranger to musical competitions and presentations. It was a mixture of facts. Mostly the fact that many of the students were musically inclined, and that the niece of the Principal, Aria Luxus, loved to show off her talent with the piano.
But, to her misery, and for almost everyone else’s delight, she was banned from competing this time after her little stunt at the class competitions. ‘No Matter How Hard We Try’ left the teachers with a bitter taste, and it would take a while until they granted her forgiveness of any kind.
There were already a few presentations that night, the latest one being Evie and Mindy’s duet of ‘Never Enough’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’.
“Alright, everyone! I hope you still have all the tears left in you, because our next singer is Phoebe Wilson, with the song ‘Born to Die’,” Owen announced, preparing the stage for his classmate.
The girl with the purple dress crossed paths with her fellow choir members on her way to the stage.
“Good luck with your presentation, Phoebe,” Evie stated.
“We will be rooting for you,” Mindy completed. Phoebe bowed down as a sign of respect and gratitude.
“Thank you both. Your performance was marvelous,” the girl in the purple dress spoke, her tone as cold and neutral as always.
Phoebe was a mystery to most people at school. She joined it last year, while Mallory was still around. She never spoke too much with anyone and mostly stood in her corner.
No one knew where she lived or had met her family. The other students only knew she was an erudite and wise student who always took good grades, who could sing like a bird, and who danced ballet better than any ballerina they had seen on TV.
There were guesses, bets, rumors, but nothing confirmed. Some did want to ask her about it, but she was such a distant girl that they felt afraid to do so.
But you, readers, are different from them, because you will all actually learn about the truth behind the ghost of the Haunted Class.
As the girl in the purple dress finally got in front of the mic, she first tested her voice and was already ready to start her song.
Phoebe: Feet, don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that the gates
They'll tell me that you're mine
Her voice was so mesmerizing that most students couldn’t notice some small tears appearing at the corners of her eyes. The truth was that she loved that song, but it also brought her unpleasant memories… memories from 151 years ago.
The song brought Phoebe back to the days when she was alive. It wasn’t a happy period, especially for the women, and, although she agreed that things were better nowadays, she couldn’t help but miss the things that she left behind.
The first memory that came to her was when she used to visit her aunt, Alice. Alice was different from most women from that time. She didn’t get married and refused to do so.
Phoebe loved spending time with her aunt. Not only because she made her feel free, but also because she helped her understand… certain things that were happening to her.
“Phoebe, dear… what you are going through is something most women of our family have” The older woman commented.
“You mean… my… visions?” the girl in the purple dress whispered, afraid that anyone else would hear it.
“Not visions, my dear… but ghosts,” Alice replied, as she sipped from her cup of tea. Phoebe was taken aback.
“Gho-gho-ghosts?!”
“Do not be afraid, child,” the older woman tranquilized her.
“But, Auntie Alice… does this mean I am gonna be haunted for forever?!” Phoebe questioned, trembling in fear.
If her current classmates saw this version of Phoebe, they wouldn’t believe in the emotive and spontaneous girl that she used to be. How did she lose that spark? Suffering.
“No, my dear. In reality… you are medium,” Alice explained.
“A medium?” The girl in the purple dress had never heard of that word before, which was weird, considering how many books she had already devoured in her free time.
“A medium is a person with a special connection to the astral plane. It lets you see and speak with spirits. Your role as a medium is to help them and use the knowledge that they give you for good,” her aunt explained.
Phoebe couldn’t help but tremble at the revelation. It was all too much for her to handle. Too many responsibilities and, most importantly, the fear of being judged.
“It won’t be an easy life, being honest. Our society tends to judge those who are different… especially women,” Alice confessed.
The girl in the purple dress started crying in fear; her reflex was to hold tight onto her dress. But her aunt gently grabbed it.
“Don’t worry, my dear, I will be here to guide you through it,” her aunt said. Phoebe embraced her, searching for comfort, just like how he had done many times before.
A few months later, as Phoebe was walking back to her room from her house’s library, she heard her mother weeping in the living room.
“Mother! What’s the matter?” the girl in purple ran to her mother, Florence's side.
She noticed that she was holding a letter in her hand and a handkerchief in the other.
“It’s… your aunt Alice, darling… she is being sent to the Rutledge Asylum,” her mother sniffed. Phoebe started panicking.
“No… no, no, no, NO! NO! NO! NONONONONO!!!” the girl burst into tears, and her mother embraced her as a way to offer her support.
“I know, dear, I know!” her mother sobbed as she held Phoebe in her arms.
(Phoebe: Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane)
“Stop with this emotional nonsense,” an angry voice took over the place. Phoebe turned to see it was her father, Edmund.
“That mad church bell has been speaking nonsense for years already. It was more than time to send her somewhere where she won’t bother civilized people anymore!” the cruel man yelled.
“Edmund, dear, please be comprehensive…” Florence tried to plead so her husband would at least be more empathetic to their daughter.
“Stop with your insufferable whining, Florence! I had a long day at work today, and the last thing I need is to hear your laments about your delusional sister!” Edmund complained.
Phoebe couldn’t stand the way her father was slandering her aunt, but there was nothing she could do… her father held the last word on their household, just like in most houses back then.
So, she did what she was allowed to and went to her room, so she could be consoled by her cat, Dinah.
(Phoebe: (Louder) choose your last words, this is the last time
More time had passed, and by now, Phoebe was slowly getting used to seeing spirits. It wasn’t something she found pleasant, but at least she was managing to hide any behavior that others would deem ‘insane’.
Right now, she was with her parents in a carriage, on their way to attend a ball. As always, they were all in silence. Sometimes, she felt like her father hated both her and her mother, because he never seemed interested in hearing what they had to say.
The quiet atmosphere was interrupted, however, because when Phoebe turned her head around, she saw the ghost of their deceased butler.
At first, she did what she was used to, ignored the specter right next to her. However, the ghost didn’t seem to mind it, because he touched the top of her head with his hands.
Once he did it, Phoebe understood why he was there. Her cat, Dinah, was drowning back home.
“DINAH!” the girl in purple shouted in despair. Her parents were too taken aback to say anything.
“Stop the carriage!” Phoebe yelled as she opened one of the carriage’s doors.
“Phoebe!” her mother screamed in worry, but the girl in the purple dress didn’t care; she ran as quickly as she could with those shoes and that dress.
Dinah, as her father usually said, could be ‘just’ a cat, but she was also Phoebe’s best friend, and she wasn’t gonna let her die.
(Phoebe: Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane)
“Phoebe, come back here, young lady!” her father screamed as he ran after his daughter. Sadly, he managed to catch her before she could get anywhere close to her home’s pond.
“No, I need to get home! I need to save Dinah!” Phoebe insisted as she tried to free herself from her father’s grip.
“Stop with this rambling right now if you don’t want to join your aunt at the Asylum!”
Since Edmund was way stronger than she, he easily managed to put her back in the carriage.
(Phoebe: (We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die
(We were born to die, we were born to die, we were born to die)
We were born to die))
As if things couldn’t get any worse for poor Phoebe, her mother had gotten mysteriously sick.
No one knew exactly what it was, cause it didn’t fit any symptoms of the known diseases, but at least it was not contagious, so she was allowed to stay next to her mother as she died.
“Sorry, Mr. Wilson, we did everything we could,” the doctor said, closing his bag.
“It’s fine, this kind of thing happens, and we don’t know why,” Edmund commented as he smoked from his cigarette.
The doctor bid farewell and left the Wilson residence.
“Leave the body, Phoebe. We need to take care of the arrangements for the funeral,” Edmund explained, as cold as always.
“Please… let me stay here for a while longer,” the girl in purple asked, refusing to let go of the body. Her father sighed and left the room.
Once she was sure she was left alone, Phoebe started crying once again.
Sometimes love is not enough, and the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on, try to have fun in the meantime)
“Let go of me!” Phoebe shouted as she got handcuffed by two Policemen.
“We are sorry for this inconvenience, Mr. Wilson,” one of the policemen said.
“Why are you handcuffing me! He is the one who poisoned my mother so he could marry that Harlot!” the girl in purple screamed.
“No need to worry, officers. My late wife’s family was indeed known for having women who lost their heads eventually. I guess it only means I will have to send her to Rutledge Asylum earlier than expected,” Edmund commented.
And then, in the blink of an eye, Phoebe ended up in Rutledge Asylum, where her aunt had stayed some years ago.
At that point, Phoebe didn’t care about what would happen to her life anymore. She hated the people at the Asylum, those who would call her crazy on the street, her father… she hated everything.
They had shaved her head and forced her to wear a straitjacket.
Now, she was walking in the direction of the operating room. It seemed like she was going to go through a ‘special treatment’.
“Everything ready for the Lobotomy, doctor?” the nurse asked.
“Yes, hopefully we will manage to put this one’s screws back in their place,” the doctor replied.
Phoebe’s last memory was lying on a hospital bed while waiting for the treatment.
(Phoebe: (Louder) choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I
We were born to die)
She knew she was going to die, but she didn’t care. She fought as hard as she could, but she lost. There was nothing left to do.
The next time she opened her eyes, she was now a ghost looking at her lifeless body from above.
When she was about to cry, however, she felt a gentle hand on her shoulder. When she turned around to see who it was, she was happy to see her aunt Alice.
“Aunt Alice!” she exclaimed, finally feeling some happiness after so long.
“Oh, child, I missed you so much,” the woman stated, hugging her niece.
“I know how much you want it all to finally be over, but there is one final thing for you to do,” Alice explained.
(Phoebe: (We were born to die, we were born, we were born to die)
Now, back in the present, despite wanting to cry rivers of sadness, Phoebe only allowed two tears to drop.
Phoebe: (We were born to die, we were born, we were born to die)
We were born to die (uh-huh, alright)
As she finished the song, she bowed down to thank the audience, who applauded her for her performance.
As she walked down from the stage, some students wanted to congratulate her directly, and, as always, she was polite but cold.
As Beau got on the stage to sing all of Sharpay’s songs from the High School Musical franchise, she took the chance that she wasn’t the center of attention anymore to sit at a secluded corner where she would be alone and free to think peacefully.
Someone, however, noticed her sadness.
“Hey,” a voice said. Phoebe turned around.
“Want to talk?” Eri asked. The girl in purple sighed.
A/N: And that's how Phoebe and Eri became friends. I also like to headcanon that Edmund had a kid with his second wife, they killed him, and somehow, their lineage led to Anthony's birth (since Weeby commented he is British).
Either way... I think Phoebe is your guys' favorite now, or at least one of your favorites.
Phoebe knew from a young age that she was going to have the tragic fate of falling in love, being unable to marry them, and dying soon after.
To prepare herself for this fate, Phoebe tried detaching herself from life as she grew up. She tried not to feel joy, pain, or sadness, just so it would be less painful for her when her story ended.
It came to the point she became what many described as a "living ghost".
However, now that she has the chance of escaping her tragic fate, she is trying her best to regain the joy of living.
It hasn't been easy, but, fortunately, she has enough friends to help her out.
(Fun fact: all characters that are inspired by ballet dance ALL the time)
Eri definitely knows the truth about Phoebe, but keeps it quiet in order to respect her wishes, the same as Phoebe does for her. They both have reasons to not openly acknowledge what they are and their mystic abilities, and thus are able to understand the other’s stance on that. They often share knowing looks in the hallway, but don’t say anything. A sort of silent pact, “You keep mine, I’ll keep yours.”
