And in a world where girls had to choose between being a princess or a witch, someone gave them a third option:

Prince.

Hi everyone! This is a project I've been working on for a bit and that I proposed myself to bring out there as a new year's resolution

Presenting: Silver Crown Institute

Silver Crown Institute is a magical college for girls that bases itself on the idea that young women can be princes as well; encouraging them to be adventurous, noble, independent and trustworthy.

The school was built around those known as the Seven Nobles

Gallantveil. Embodies the Charming Prince's spirit of devotion. A dorm for the graceful and radiant

Rosebéte. Embodies the Guardian Beast's spirit of redemption. A dorm for those with hidden beauty and misunderstood strength

Tidecresta. Embodies the Adventuring Sailor's spirit of curiosity. A dorm for the adventurous, known for their love of song

Jardival. Embodies the Merry Musician's spirit of freedom. A dorm for those full of vitality and charisma

Sunarrow. Embodies the Goldenhearted Rogue's spirit of wit. A dorm for the independent, of quick thinking and unafraid of mischief

Crystalis. Embodies the Seeker of Lost Knowledge's spirit of learning. A dorm for the explorers who put learning above adventure, those hungry for ancient wisdom

Knezcheval. Embodies the Knight of Roses' spirit of courage. A dorm for the brave and most chivalrous, who stand against adversity no matter what

And here's the school uniform!

Of course it can be worn in various ways. Jacket with the skirt, only vest with the pants, no vest, no jacket, tie/ribbon used in different ways. The key is for the dorm color to be present and visible

Not pictured but important: in SCI magestones are used via short swords and rapiers depending on a student's preference, the magestone also matches the dorm color and it decorates the hilt nicely

I was very nervous but now I'm happy I'm sharing this, I truly hope people enjoy it. Will try to not take forever on updating but I can't promise anything! Thanks for your attention! Love y'all!

🔥 (if you want to talk about belle's characterization)

I certainly have a lot of strong opinions on that, the hard part is picking one... hmm, okay here’s one.

BELLE DID NOT NEED TO BE “FIXED” IN THE 2017 VERSION BECAUSE 1991 BELLE IS NOT LESS FEMINIST OR OTHERWISE “INFERIOR” to 2017 BELLE

I’m fine with 2017 making a different version of Belle, but I remember back during the publicity tours before the movie came out, the way they talked about Belle seemed to heavily be implying that they thought they were improving upon the 1991 character and um... no.

1991 Belle IS ALREADY feminist. She is the perfect example of a female character who is likes feminine things and is emotional but is still a strong character who is an active agent in her story and doesn’t need to have conventionally masculine traits in order to be a badass!

I mean 1991 Belle sees through the facade of her village’s golden man to see the fuckboi he really is and absolutely demolishes him when he makes advances without her getting violent to do so. She trades her dreams and freedom for her father to a beast that terrifies the hell out of her and then later stands up to him and refuses to let him push her around just because she promised to stay with him! And when he goes too far she gets tf out and ends up fighting off a pack of wolves to protect Philippe despite knowing she can’t win! And then it is her compassion and kindness that inspires the Beast to change and become a better person which is pretty damn powerful!!!

Like it’s great that 2017 Belle has new and different interests like inventing and teaching (though I’d argue 1991 Belle DID know her way around her father’s workshop and tools so for all we know 1991 Belle has some experience with inventing too) but 2017 Belle isn’t “better” just because she’s more practical and less feminine. 

If anything I think it takes away from the impact of some of Belle’s scenes in 2017 when that version of Belle reacts more stoically to things that devastated her animated counterpart and it looses something to give 2017 Belle certain skills and then barely have her demonstrate them (the teaching thing only gets one scene and the inventing gets the laundry machine scene with no follow up on it unless you count Belle being resourceful with dress fabric and hair pins which isn’t really inventing related, just general cleverness)

All that line of thinking does is perpetuate the idea that only women written with masculine associated traits and skills are strong characters and I don’t fuck with that.

The Princes

In Silver Crown Institute, the Housewardens are referred to as Princes, leaders of their own kingdom AKA their dorm

Gladly presenting

Name: Crystal Darling

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Prince of: Gallantveil

Notes: a young Lady from the Shaftlands, her father worries constantly about her getting a husband but she seems uninterested in the guys sent her way. She wishes for someone who won't mind her adventurous nature nor her ability with the sword. Most guys run off considering her "too much" and thus, she keeps searching

Name: Beth Acantha

Age: 18

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Prince of: Rosebéte

Notes: a princess from the northern regions of Sunset Savanna, due to that and her cold behavior she's known as an ice queen at school. It is that or be a victim of her terrible temper and short fuse. Do not ask about her appearance for that is looking for trouble

Name: Edith Marin

Age: 17

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Prince of: Tidecresta

Notes: a girl from the Sunshine Lands who adores the sea and what it has to offer, curious about merfolk since she was a child. She claims that once when she was younger she almost drowned, but she woke up on the coast to a beautiful voice, alive and well. She's been looking for that voice ever since, determined to meet them and thank them for saving her life

Name: Navya Iyer

Age: 17

Class: 1st year

Dorm Prince of: Jardival

Notes: of royal family back in the Scalding Sands, she has never known struggle. Her parents noticed that she was growing lazier and more materialistic, sending her to school in hopes of developing her magic and for her to not believe life will be easy forever

Name: Eugenia Fletching Flynn Ranger

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Prince of: Sunarrow

Notes: young orphan girl who goes wherever the wind takes her. Had a past of thievery and crime but nowadays claims she's turning over a new leaf, although this doesn't erase her chaotic and smug ways of moving through life

Name: Millie Tucker

Age: 17

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Prince of: Crystalis

Notes: an aspiring researcher of ancient fae tongues and runes very few people bother paying attention to. Taken in by a family friend at a young age, she was given freedom to learn and discover as much as her heart desired. And yet, she wishes for more. To bring awareness and let others know her discoveries due to how important the believes them to be

Name: Petra Chevalier

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Prince of: Knezcheval

Notes: trained to be a knight her entire life she's known the way of the sword and how to fight. She's not the best at formal settings, however, for the etiquette is something she's always mildly struggled with. Has a big heart, often times considered too big, and said that she uses it to make up for her mild lack of self-awareness

That'd be all for today! And keep eyes open for all these girls have someone assigned as their loyal Knight (Vice-Housewarden equivalent!)

[ellatwstmadness]

The Knights

In Silver Crown Institute, the Vice-Housewardens are referred to as Knights, guardians loyal to their leader the Dorm Prince

Gladly presenting

Name: Jacqueline Souris

Age: 17

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Knight of: Gallantveil

Notes: a young orphan that lived on the country side with her sister, upon developing magic she was determined to be more than she is. She's a natural leader but doesn't mind being near her Prince as they often understand each other

Name: Lucille Hunt

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Knight of: Rosebéte

Notes: Beth's one and probably only actual friend. She's always trying to make people see Beth isn't as bad as she seems yet it doesn't quite work all the time. She's elegant and a fan of romance, doing her Knight duties diligently

Name: Maxxine Marin

Age: 16

Class: 1st year

Dorm Knight of: Tidecresta

Notes: Edith's adopted sister and her biggest supporter, both living in the Sunshine Lands and wanting to travel the sea. She's one of the few that doesn't believe the voice Edith is searching for is made up

Name: Louann Kroko

Age: 176

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Knight of: Jardival

Notes: a young fae who finds humans fascinating and wishes nothing more than to be among them in peace and play her trumpet. She's deeply into music and wants to make it big this way, she's not the brightest but makes up for it with her huge heart

Name: Marley Pferd

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Knight of: Sunarrow

Notes: she was in fact trained in the arts of knighting and guarding as it is her family's legacy, she takes her job incredibly seriously which just causes her headaches with all of Flynn's habits and antics, she'd wish to be Dorm Prince herself but her pride as a Knight ironically prevents her from committing what her brain tells her would be treason

Name: Kailani Kairiai

Age: ???

Class: 3rd year

Dorm Knight of: Crystalis

Notes: one day she woke up in today's world, that's all she knows. Her kingdom is currently missing but she attempts to keep herself distracted by exploring this new world to the best of her ability, intrigued by everything in it, especially the technology

Name: Sammy Pferd

Age: 17

Class: 2nd year

Dorm Knight of: Knezcheval

Notes: Marley's younger sister and thus both received the same training and education, however unlike her sister, Sammy is known for being quite laid back and relaxed using her time at school to have some fun with as many new people as she can meet

And that'd be all! What's next is all the students that are regular and fit neither category! This might take a bit longer as I made basically the same amount of canonical TWST characters 😅 but I hope you enjoy this regardless!

[ellatwstmadness]

The Students

Like any other school, Silver Crown Institute counts with every day students who attend it diligently

Name: Augustine Souris

Name: Carina Pendule

Age: 17

Class: 2nd year

Student of: Rosebéte

Name: Paulina Tassweet

Age: 18

Class: 3rd year

Student of: Rosebéte

Notes: considered by many to be the mom of the dorm, always keeping an eye on everybody with her gentle demeanor and yet keeping them straight by encouraging good manners and overall good behavior, she's easy to approach and well liked

Name: Viola Alchemie

Age: 14

Class: 1st year

Student of: Sunarrow

Notes: an incredibly bright, intelligent and almost gifted girl. She's made it into the school after skipping a few grades and as thus she's always trying to be taken seriously by her peers instead of others being condescending towards her or underestimating her due to her clumsiness

Name: Felicia Malaquias

Age: ???

Class: 3rd year

Student of: Knezcheval

Notes: a mysterious student she is, taken in by the school's Headmage and a girl of soldier-like cold demeanor. But beneath that exterior there's a very caring person, even if she herself doesn't seem to notice or acknowledge it

✘: What are your muses pet peeves?

Being talked down to is a BIIIIG one. Whether it’s sexist language or someone trying to physically intimidate her, she’s not having any of that, thank you very much.

Being talked to while she’s trying to read (keeping in mind there are no real 18th century equivalents of headphones)

Let’s say noisy eaters cause it clearly did bother her in that one scene (and it was good that in that case a compromise was made)

Finding herself either carrying on one sided conversations because the other person isn’t interested and hasn’t said anything or else being on the receiving end of what’s basically a monologue.

Gaston. Just Gaston.
