walpurga-nacht-academy: Lore + Persephone please!

Thank you for the ask!!!!

I'll gratefully use this opportunity to explain Persephone's backstory!!

Daffodil: rebirth and new beginnings

Persephone grew up in a "perfect" family, it was the epitome of a stereotypical "successful" family, and she was the epitome of a "perfect child." With her parents working in magical professions. She was aspected to do as well as them.

From the very beginning her parents had already planned out her fate, such as what type of job she would do in the future, hobbies she would have, clothes she would wear, the way she speaks and how she presents herself to others.

Rather than a person, she was treated like a doll made to represent her family's desires of how a child "should" be. Hence why Persephone never really thought of herself or what "she" would want. It has always been "Ah, Mother would want me to do this." and "Father would be happy if I chose this." She has been trained to make her decisions based on how her parents would decide for her. Thus never having her own opinions as she was never able to develop them, what was "right" and what was "wrong" depended on her parents.

Persephone had only seen what freedom was, but she had never experienced it herself since she was always afraid to take that first step. To her, it didn't matter anyway since she had never felt strongly about anything before. Furthermore, to her, it wasn't like she "needed" to decide on anything as "her" choices or fate has already been scripted from the start. (The stress from the limitations placed on her will start to build up though...)

The first decision she made was during the sorting ceremony. After seeing Rosalia's witches dance, she felt inspired to follow her own "heart's desires". Thus she had chosen to go to Rosenhex, instead of Grimmare. Which was the dorm her parents, had wanted her to chose.

....Her parents were furious, to say the least, with how she had strayed from the path they had wanted her to walk on. Thus they started to devise another plan, one they would make sure she would follow. ( Which will tie into a blot au hehe!)

After making "her" first choice she was somewhat in a state of delirium, wanting to experience things in order to find out her own likes and dislikes. Persephone had heard some girls talking about virtual singers or singers who had hidden their faces for privacy. In her high, she had gone to cover a song. Which had received a large amount of support due to her angelic voice. ( I headcanon that Persephone will be one of the singers Idia likes to watch and support! ) From here, Persephone has been trying to carve out her own fate, trying to keep people from finding out about her secret career and figuring out who "She" is.

[walpurga-nacht-academy]

"R-Rosalia-senpai! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" Persephone stuttered as she nervously greeted her senior. "I've been wanting to have a word with you ever since I saw your performance at the witch dances!" she added with her face facing towards the ground, her long bangs covering her expression. "It...It was truly...Incredible!" Persephone blurted out as she raised her head. Her eyes shining with admiration. "Your transformation... was what made me choose Rosenhex! I genuinely,,, admire you a lot! May I..know...what drives you to work towards your ambition? I know nothing of my own desires, so I would like to hear about what fuels you! ,,,, if you please." - Persephone

(Thank you so much for the ask and I'm so sorry for the late reply!!)

"Eh?" Rosalia barely managed to utter as she stared at the first year in front of her. Ever since coming to this academy and even more so after becoming Prefect, she's rarely experienced this sort of enthusiastic response from one of the students here. Less so from one coming from her own dorm. To say that she was surprised would be an understatement. It would be like saying that the Prefect of Galdtrea had a short temper. Glancing around, she tried to figure it if this was some hare-brained scheme from another of her classmates to try and humiliate her, get to fall for the bait and pull the rug from under her. That sort of thing.

Once she was sure that nobody was waiting to jump out and humiliate her, she finally looked back at the girl before her and nervously straightened her back. "I-I mean- Of course! That performance came out really great! I had it all totally planned out and stuck to the scenario with no deviations and... uh..." The hopeful gaze made her ego soar a little. She'd rarely been looked at like that since her enrolment. And for this act of rebellion too, which had cost her her own comeback and was received poorly. It felt good to have somebody praise her for being herself for once. "A-Anyway, um, you asked about my ambition? Right? It's really simple, actually! More than anything, I want to become the sort of actress who can portray villainous roles! Because those are the coolest, you know! It's like the mark of adulthood to play that sort of role where nobody treats you like a child or like you can't make your own decisions..."

She keeps quiet for a while, staring at the tips of her shoes. "Being Cherry was nice and all, because I could make other people happy but... At some point, it became too much about other people and I just felt like I lost myself in the role. Like I stopped being myself and became Cherry instead. And nobody seemed to mind which was really scary... That's why I want to become the sort of person who doesn't let themselves bossed around by anybody else, and taking my career into my own hands is the first step... I think."

Pausing again, she plasters a big grin on her face. "So that's what I'm gonna start doing! When it comes to what drives you, it's gotta be your own dreams and hopes and nothing else, right? You can't get bogged down by what other people think!"

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

Did you know that there’s an old legend surrounding the town of Brocken? Apparently a long, long time ago a rich girl was waiting for her beloved to return from his exhibition up the mountain. He claimed that there was gold up there, enough to buy the whole town and finally be worthy of her hand. The girl was beside herself with joy at the prospect - ever since they met, she wanted nothing more than to marry her lover and live happily ever after. Finally, it seemed that her wish would come true.

Unfortunately it was merely a dream. Her beloved went up the mountain but never returned. She waited years and years and years for him, but no matter how much she hoped and prayed she never saw him again. Some claim that the mountain took him. Some say that he ran away to marry another. Others even claimed they saw his ghost wandering around on Halloween looking for his way home. However, the truth remains the same - the lovers were never able to be reunited and the would-have-been bride mourned for him all her life. Dressed in black, she wandered the halls without uttering a single word. Until a tragedy befell her - what sort of tragedy? Well, here it starts to get interesting, my dear. For you see - her body was never actually recovered.

Thus, in this year’s edition of Halloween, the eight dorms of Walpurga Nacht Academy would like to invite you on a little hunt! Go forth and as the faithful lover attempt to reunite with the beloved bride and discover just what tragedy has befallen her in your absence! But make sure to make haste and be cautious, for the halls of this mansion are crawling with ferocious imps ready to throw you out once they catch sight of you! And if they do, you can never return back!

Of course, you will not be left helpless, for you will be allowed two useful tools: a bell to drive away the imps once you have caught them and a guide to open the door to the chamber where your beloved lies!

Now, the only question that remains: will you make it there in time?

Stay inside the shadows, all you girls and boys/ Don't you make a noise, or I am going to find you~

RULES

In order to participate, the guests must buy a ticket for the event!

The rules of the event are simple! Participants must scour the old mansion for clues as to where the Lost Bride is hiding while making sure to avoid capture by the students dressed up as the imps. In order to make sure the rules are respected, Nisse Tomte are found through every nook and cranny observing the going-ons. Once they discover that a student was caught by the imps they throw them out of the mansion as they have been compromised.

The game lasts from dusk until midnight when the chime of the clock indicates that the last ones standing have won the game.

You can either win the game by making sure to avoid detection by the imps until midnight, or by finding the chamber of the Lost Bride.

Once a guest has reached the entrance of the chamber they must wait for the Guide (Yuuki Tsukino) to open the door. Forcing the entry open will result in a disqualification!

Magic is forbidden here! Moreover, so are phones as they will be considered akin to cheating. All caught breaking the rules are disqualified immediately.

Once a guest catches an imp, they attach a little bell to their dress! The imps are still allowed to move after, but it will be easier for guests to navigate the manor after as they will be alerted by the sound.

THE LOST BRIDE

None is more pitiful than the bride who wasted away waiting for her beloved to return - but the manner in which she did so is rather mysterious. None are sure how or when it happened, but suddenly one day she was simply gone. And thus several theories have been born -

THE BRIDE OF ROSES

The students of Rosenhex would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the rose garden, where among the bushes and greenery you will find your beloved lying in a grave of roses, the thorns and vines covering her entire body as the last proof of love she will ever give.

Now, awaken your bride!

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got harder, I never gave up hope. I closed my ears to the vile rumours they spread about you, and to the doubt that blossomed in my heart as well. I knew that only death could keep you apart from me. So, without any other choice, I’ve decided to let myself be swallowed by the earth as well in hopes of reuniting with you also. It seems my prayers have been answered at last.

THE HANGING BRIDE

The students of Grimmaire would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the library, where among the shelves and paintings you will be witness to a gruesome sight - the corpse of your beloved strung up by the noose. Dangling in the air, she makes for horrifying scenery as she opens her eyes, and addresses you full of resentment.

Now, awaken your bride!

BLANCHE: To think that you would dare to set foot here again, you scoundrel. Were the years I have wasted on you not enough? Was my sacrifice in vain after all? I waited for you all this time, hoping you would return and at the end of my life, I realized I wasted it all. What a poor and pitiful soul I must have been, chasing after shadows and false promises at last. But no matter what, at least it seems that you have fared no better than I.

THE BURNING BRIDE

The students of Kriegskald would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the courtyard, where you’ll see the bride strung up on a pyre. When you approach closer, the body bursts into flames and is completely disintegrated by the temperature, yet somehow a voice still calls out to you from the carnage.

Now, awaken your bride!

MARCIA: Love - to think you would return to me after all this time. It’s a pity our meeting couldn’t have happened sooner. You see, after you disappeared rumours started going around that I bewitched you and sent you in search of gold. They claimed I was a temptress set out to destroy the town and the only way to protect themselves was to punish me for my sins. But that I got to see you here in my last moments should surely speak of my innocence, is that not so?

THE IRON BRIDE

The students of Galdtrea would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the basement, where you’ll find a most peculiar chamber. It is filled to the brim with tools and off contraptions, and in the middle, there’s an old Iron Maiden, that reeks of blood and carnage. As you approach it, a voice calls out to you, filled with fury.

Now, awaken your bride!

JUNE: So yer- So you returned? You dare show your face here after you abandoned me? After you decided to up and- to desert me like the lowly scoundrel that you are?! And what have you returned for? To gloat to me about how wealthy and happy your life has become? You bas- You monster! I will make you rue the day you betrayed my- my love!

THE DEMURE BRIDE

The students of Monarchia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the parlour where you’ll find a young woman having tea by the window. She seems frozen in place and mournful, her gaze betrayed the toll the years have had upon her and when she addresses you, she seems almost content. There is no horror that awaits you, you think, until you notice the crib in the corner.

Now, awaken your bride!

DIANA: Love. How odd - I had come to accept my fate of the widow. But now you return. I have waited for you all these years. I had hoped you would come to find me, though I knew that only death could keep you apart. I’m sorry. I wished the three of us could have spent our days together, but in the end…

THE SLEEPING BRIDE

The students of Oraluna would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the sleeping chamber where you’ll find a young woman resting among the silk and satin. She looks cold to the touch, like a corpse frozen, but when she opens her eyes, you’re shocked to see the light and warmth in them. She smiles at you and reaches for your hands.

Now, awaken your bride!

CASSANDRA: Um, th-thank you for coming back, my lo-lo-lo-lo-love. I-I have waited for ma-many years, for you to return, um. Even when they said I should lo-lo-lose hope, I never faltered… That is, until, they brought ba-ba-back your watch. The one I had gifted to you when we promised we would we-we-we-we-wed… Um!! Upon seeing such proof, I could lie to myself anymore, and from a broken he-he-heart I have fallen into a deep slumber… I’m so-sorry…

THE BRIDE WHO POISONED

The students of Eliksia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the kitchen where you’ll find a young woman hunched over a cauldron. There is a foul smell emanating from it and as you glance around you notice all sorts of elixirs and potions are strewn around. And are those bones in the corner? No, surely not.

Now, awaken your bride!

AGATHA: Welcome… ehehehehe… I… have… waited… so… long… for… you… my… love… Too… long… to… even… remember… when… I… started… to… turn… out… like… this… They… all… said… that… you… deserted… me… but… that’s… not… true… is… it… ? They… all… just… sought… to… keep… us… apart… that’s… why… I… made… sure… they’ll… pay… for… it… ehehhehehehehehe…

THE ETERNAL BRIDE

The students of Noctasis would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the old family crypt where the cold will freeze your bones and incite you to all manners of horrors. It seems deserted, only perhaps the corpses and skeletons keeping you company, but as you walk deeper in you soon realize it is not so. A woman stands up suddenly and welcomes you warmly, despite the paleness of her visage which makes your blood curdle. What is she doing here among these corpses and old bones?

Now, awaken your bride!

VITA: My heart~ You have at last returned, just as I knew you would. After all, death is nothing but an obstacle for us who love each other so truly. The years have been long and the wait was painful but as you can see - it did not conquer me at all. Just like, I have become eternal~ So, then, my heart, come, let us join together amidst these bones and all this grime. Is that not what you are here for, after all~

OUTFITS

No hunt is truly complete without a nice outfit, and Walpurga Nacht has made sure to provide only the best for its students and guests alike. The dresses of the brides were sewn together by the Nisse Tomte, as were those of the students playing the imps. The material is black to represent the mourning state she was in until her death, and clothes pertaining to her own wardrobe were chosen as examples.

The Brides.

The Imps.

The Hunters.

PRIZES

Participating in the hunt isn't just a good way of spending Halloween night doing something exciting with friends, but also to win the chance to visit the grounds of Walpurga Nacht Academy on your own! Those who manage to outlast the imps during the chase will be rewarded with a few magic items chosen at their discretion, but those who find the chamber of the bride will be awarded a tour of Walpurga Nacht's interior including the main campus, its courtyard and the opportunity to chat with one of the Prefects at their own dorm!

Moreover, all profits made from this event will go towards the upkeep of Brocken's landmarks and monuments!

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

HALLOWEEN INTERVIEW - ROSALIA MORGAINNE

SCENE I

[distant screaming]

ALKIN: Hm, it seems that the festivities are going quite well by the sound of it. There have been over 400 tickets sold and the students are hard at work to make sure that everything is going smoothly. That's good.

I think that you would have enjoyed this as well, Astra.

[footsteps]

... Hm. It seems that Morgainne's chamber is currently empty of visitors. I shall pay her a visit then.

[door creaking]

Greetings.

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got har-

ALKIN: This is unnecessary. There are no guests here as you can see.

ROSA: Huh?! Then you aren't-

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: Wait! Who are you supposed to be?!

ALKIN: It's me- the Head Prefect.

ROSA: ... HUH?!

ALKIN: ?

ROSA: WAITWAITWAITWAIT- THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! THE HEAD PREFECT IS A CAT, ISN'T HE?! THEN-

ALKIN: It's a disguise.

ROSA: Huh?

ALKIN: I suppose that you must have not been aware of it... I am, in fact, not a cat, but a nekomata. A creature that hails from the Far East with the ability to change my appearance at will. Old or young, tall or short - I can assume any form that I desire, provided that I can imagine it. What you see before you is the human form I take when interacting with large crowds. It's easier to talk to you like this since you're more likely to obey.

ROSA: Tha-That sounds kinda ominous...

ALKIN: However, Morgainne... You should have known this, as Prefect of Rosenhex, a dorm that specializes in charms and hexes.

ROSA: URGH- Um, well, I was so caught with preparations for the event and staying in character, hahahaha...

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-In any case- What do you think of our work, Head Prefect? Isn't it cool?! The vines look just like the real thing, don't they?

ALKIN: Indeed. This is charmed rope, isn't it?

ROSA: Exactly! You have an eye for this sort of thing~ It's actually the same kind of rope that they use for docking boats, so the material is extra rough to the touch! The frays that are shooting out make for the perfect base for thorns and we tied a bunch together and threw them all over the floor to imitate the real thing!

ALKIN: I see- Then the enchantment?

ROSA: It was minimal! We favoured form over function since we merely wanted to give off the illusion of plants rather than the real deal. And this way the environment doesn't get damaged either~

ALKIN: It would have taken quite a long time to get so many together, and they most likely would have dried out as well by the time the tours would have ended.

ROSA: Yep~ I kept everything in mind to make sure it all worked out~ Even Vil said he was impressed by the craftsmanship, hehe!

ALKIN: Ah, the child from Night Raven.

ROSA: We're old friends actually so I got him a ticket to come to visit us today~ Well, he and a bunch of other people came actually... It almost lead to a disaster.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Yeah, yeah! Listen - It was a bit out of the blue but the group of people that Vil came with had Jack in it as well. It seems that they made it through really easily thanks to Jack's hearing so they ended up here much faster than I expected. I was in the middle of eating that rhubarb pie that mom brought over and got so startled I dropped some jam on my dress and face! It wasn't so bad because at least it looked like blood but-

When I began to do my act, Jack came over and picked me up to wipe it off me! He had this really pale look on his face until he realized it was just jam then he told me [You should not take jokes so far, Rosalia-sempai]! Hmph! Like he was the older one or something!

Well, at least both Vil and Yuuki praised my performance so that just shows how good of an actress I really am! Isn't that right~?

ALKIN: ... Astra always said that young love tends to be difficult.

ROSA: Huh? What that's supposed to mean?

ALKIN: Nevermind.

SCENE II

ALKIN: It seems that you have kept rather close to the ideals of the dorm when you interpreted the story of the bride and her lover. That is surprising.

ROSA: You think so? Well, to be honest, I just thought that they would fit really well together. The story of the Witch of Roses is one of love as well, isn't it?

ALKIN: Indeed, but I believe it's somewhat different.

ROSA: You think so? The way I see it they're one and the same.

ALKIN: Is that so?

ROSA: Mm! In the end, all the bride wanted was to reunite with her beloved and live happily ever after, but since that couldn't be she decided to join him in the afterlife instead. It's kind of melancholic, but it's the happy end she was hoping for. Same with the Witch!

ALKIN: Oh?

ROSA: I think, in the end, all the Witch wanted was to reunite with Mother Sea but since that couldn't happen she resigned herself to her fate just like the bride did. All they wanted was to be happy in life, but since that wasn't possible for the moment they sought happiness somewhere else.

I like to think that the bride and the Witch were both reunited in the end with their loved ones, even if it's just a childish wish.

ALKIN: Hm.

ROSA: I-Is there something weird about what I said?

ALKIN: No, I was merely contemplating on the innocence of children.

ROSA: CHILDREN?! I know I said it was childish but still- That was too cruel Head Prefect! I think I prefer you in cat form actually.

ALKIN: As I told you before, I am not a cat but a nekomata.

Still, that you hold such childish ideals even now... It is rather charming I would have to say.

ROSA: Somehow I don't think that's true...

SCENE III

ALKIN: Your make-up.

ROSA: Ye-Yes?

ALKIN: It's quite well done. You truly give off the impression of a deceased bride that has mourned her beloved to death.

ROSA: Right~? Actually, it was my mom who did it for me! You see, she's a professional make-up artist who worked on a lot of big movie sets! Her forte is as a SFX make-up artist who specializes in horror movies!

ALKIN: SFX?

ROSA: Special effects! You know the stuff that they pile on the actor that plays the monster to make him look even scarier!

ALKIN: ... Hm, I thought those were the real deal.

ROSA: Wha- No way! Those sort of monsters only exist in fantasy, right? No way would they be real! You're trying to pull my leg, aren't you? Head Prefect?

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: A-Anyway... Since mom heard that we'll be doing this sort of thing, she decided to come over and help us out. Isn't she great?

ALKIN: A warm and welcoming home does often bring up healthy and strong children, that is true.

ROSA: Hm, dunno about strong but my dad always says that I had the health of an ox! A really cute one! I've never caught a cold in my life!

ALKIN: ... There's an old saying... No, never mind. It seems that you have been enjoying yourself today, child.

ROSA: Yeah! It's been really fun, to be honest! Getting to play this scary role and make everybody tremble in fear- I feel like I'm getting closer to my ideal! Hehe, Halloween is really the best!

ALKIN: I see that you are really fond of this human festivity. How curious. Is there something really so enchanting about being haunted and harassed by ghosts?

ROSA: Ha-Harassed... I don't think that's the case, haha. But- I've always liked Halloween since I was a kid! The celebrations in the Rose Kingdom have always been so much fun!

ALKIN: Really?

ROSA: Mm! My mom and dad would usually take me to the funfest that took place in the town plaza and where they would organize all sorts of activities! Like apple bobbing and pumpkin carving!

ALKIN: Hm, what odd activities-

ROSA: They're really fun! My dad is actually a pro at apple bobbing and my mom made the cutest carved pumpkins for me when I was little! I really liked watching her at work. She turns super cool when she'll concentrate like that! My dad would always get soaking wet and get a cold, but I was always fine, you know~

ALKIN: ...

ROSA: Well, I say that but my actual favourite thing to do was nut-cracking!

ALKIN: A new ridiculous thing has appeared.

ROSA: It's not ridiculous at all! It's actually super romantic! You see, nut-cracking is when you place two nuts over the roasting fire and give them names! Then you wait to see which cracks first and that's how you know who your true love is supposed to be!

ALKIN: I see... And then?

ROSA: Then, um, I guess you eat them?

ALKIN: You're unsure?

ROSA: ... Um, truth is... mine... mine never cracked. Even though I only picked Vil's name...

ALKIN: Hm?

ROSA: NE-NEVER MIND! UM! I-I think the next group of people might come up, so-

ALKIN: I hear no footsteps.

ROSA: AAAAAAH, HEAD PREFECT PLEASE GET A CLUE ALREADY!

[door slams]

ALKIN: Hmph, what a strong-willed girl.

... But I suppose that is what a witch should be after all.

If you can find the time and resources to make one, would you consider making a “What Walpurga Nacht Dorm do you belong in?” Quiz?

Joining the Oh My Cafe! bandwagon with Vita, Rosa and Agatha!

It's two bookworms and a cute himbo! What can go wrong?

I’ve been meaning to ask you this for a while, but can you make a playlist for vita that reflects her aesthetic and tastes? And could you include the other prefects as well, if you have time?

Oooh, this is a fun one Anon! Thank you for the ask! I'll try to stick to around three songs for each of the girls to make it balanced!

🕷 Vita Dies

you're so dark - arctic monkeys. thank god i'm pretty - emilie autumn. carmen - lana del rey.

Vita's playlist aesthetic could be summed up as "gothic revival of a degenerate beauty queen" with a heavy, sinking aesthetic to it and a very sultry and mature vibe. The major theme would be mourning the innocence one was forced to lose, melancholia and a persistent feeling of dissatisfaction. The highlight is perhaps the manner in which she lets others categorize her in a box from which she feels she cannot escape or evolve. Vita's goal is to live unencumbered by the expectations of others and be true to herself, no matter what, knowing that there are people who accept her for her.

🍓 Rosalia Morgainne

strawberry shortcake - melanie martinez. seventeen - ladytron. she - selena gomez.

If she had a playlist aesthetic it would be something along the lines of "baby, you're more than just a pretty face", with a sort of pop-rock feeling to it and a lot of modern sounds. The major theme would be insecurity, exploitation of women and the fear of losing one's agency. But it would be uplifted with a song of self-affirmation and self-love, as she finally decides to take charge of her own destiny and affirm her femininity on her own terms. The evolution towards a more sexy, mature image is not a downgrade, but a means of liberation.

🐇 Blanche Dion

prom dress - mxmtoon. toxic thoughts - faith marie. lost one's weeping - lizz robinett (cover).

If she had a playlist aesthetic it would be something along the lines of "the gifted kid who's the disappointment of the family", with a slow and almost melancholic feel to it. The major theme would be resentment, regret and the feeling of being trapped, culminating in a feeling of liberation when she finally lets go of others' expectations for her. She learns to value her own life and worth, even if others won't and then comes to the realization that despite her family's words there is love and acceptance in her future.

🧹 Marcia Pyroeis

the hand that feeds - the crane wives. i need a dollar - aloe blacc. i'm still standing - elton john.

Her playlist aesthetic would be described as "breaking your back and your code for just a dollar more", with a folk element to it that is tempered by an almost upbeat rhythm. The major theme would be optimism in the face of catastrophe, knowledge of the harshness that you need to endure and the condition of the human being. She focuses on survival against all odds and hopes to transform her tragedy into an opportunity for growth and success, no matter how low the odds might be.

🐸 June Himalia

blood in the cut - k.flay. brutal - olivia rodrigo. obey - bring me the horizon & yungblud.

If she had a playlist aesthetic it would be best summed up as "rage" with a lot of songs that have an aggressive tempo and also unpleasant energy to them. The major theme would be frustration accumulating and slowly coming to a head when she feels that she's reached a boiling point, and with no way out she manifests her sense of hopelessness in physical actions. It's not that she wants to be brutal but when she's backed into a corner as she always is, she sees no other solution but to attack in return.

🐊 Diana Arrow

oh raven - unlike pluto. don't forget to open your eyes - missio. saturn - sleeping at last.

Her playlist aesthetic would be best described as "the sky is full of stars tonight and it makes me whole" where the songs would be slow, almost hypnotic with a tinge of weight to them. The major theme would be balance and acceptance, one born not from blind optimism but from completely understanding the consequences of her actions and the harshness of reality. Diana's lightness comes from the fact that she is perfectly aware of the darkness in others and in the world around her, but she still chooses to completely and without reservation accept them as part of the natural.

🦋 Cassandra Delphinne

so small and so quiet - isabella fortuna. something to feel good about - will joseph cook. hate myself - dodie.

If she had a playlist aesthetic it would best be described as "i apologize for the wild thumping of my heart" where a lot of songs feel slow and dragging in order to capture that feeling of melancholia. The major themes would be trying to find oneself and feeling overwhelmed by the vastness of the world, fear that you will never find yourself be accepted by anybody and that you are never going to be good enough. Cass' anxiety is for the most part tightly connected with her low self-esteem and communication problems, and the knowledge that as a child who is part of two worlds, she'll never fully fit in either. Yet she keeps persevering, knowing that she must develop herself as a person.

🧪 Agatha Voisin

jealousy, jealousy - olivia rodrigo. hey kids - molina ft. late verlane. running away - vano 3000.

Her playlist aesthetic would be best described as "i'm making my self-loathing everybody else's problem" where a lot of the songs have this experimental vibe to them which makes them feel rather odd and out of place. The major themes would be this resurgence feeling of being unable to fit within the standards of society and the resentment that comes with that, as well as the frustration that often follows after. Agatha's problems are punctuated by a constant wave of negative backlash regarding her appearance and nature. She feels that no matter what she'll do or how she'll change herself, she'll be rejected and then asks herself if it's even worth the effort to do so.
