In this post, I hope to introduce the Makai Ouji cast to the world of Twisted Wonderland and explain little bits about each character. You can think of it as a more complete form of my previous post. The characters are very interesting and I believe would fit well into the world, so even if you don't know Makai Ouji, I'm sure you could enjoy this post. See the boys as OCs if you wish! In any case, I thank you for reading and hope you enjoy the post!
Now, without further ado!
William Twining came to the world of Twisted Wonderland by accident, the cause of which is a mystery even to him. He shocked the entrance ceremony crowd by refusing to let himself be sorted by the Mirror of Darkness and instead choosing his path himself. While he can be a bit hard-headed, he is a very reasonable student with deep respect for the rules and order of things, making Heartslabyul an easy pick. The Mirror confirmed his decision, and thus, he was allowed to enroll. He is extremely smart and has a great memory, already knowing over half of the rules of the Queen of Hearts by the end of his second week in the school. He spends a lot of time in the library, researching a way to get back home, but also learning all the new magical knowledge the school can offer.
Isaac Morton arrived together with William and is utterly fascinated by the entirety of Twisted Wonderland. He was sorted into Scarabia and immediately hit it off with Kalim, bonding over their shared merchant background and love for tea and parties. Isaac is generally well-liked and extremely loyal. While he lacks William's sharp intellect, he has his own way of doing things and a remarkable magical talent, especially when it comes to summoning. He is often the target of Lilia's pranks because he tends to take things at face value,
Dantalion Huber came to Twisted Wonderland in search of William, only to find himself needing to blend in. After observing the situation for a while, he decided to join Savanaclaw. Leona, of course, knows about this, but he kept it a secret from Crowley. He is a star athlete and a strong magician focused on fire magic. Dantalion seems to show aversion to Pomefiore students, though he doesn't insult them directly. He also has a sort of respect for both Diasomnia and Ignihyde students.
Sitri Cartwright joined the Pomefiore dorm thanks to a sizeable donation to the school, but his main goal was to get close to William again. He is one of Epel's roommates, and there used to be some tension between them. However, once Epel found out that Sitri likes to sneak sweets after dinner, they quickly became good friends, often covering for each other to avoid Vil's wrath. Despite this, Sitri is not a problem student. He is quite popular but seems to have a complicated relationship with the Savanaclaw students.
Camio's presence at the school was quite the surprise for William and the others, but not so much for the general school populace. As far as anyone knows, he's been diligently studying here the whole time, eventually working his way up to share the dorm leader position with Malleus. Of course, for a mage as powerful as Camio, a small tweak to people's memories is no big deal, and he would never do it for malicious reasons. Malleus reminds him a lot of his younger self, and he wishes to help him grow and heal. He also often joins Silver with his animal friends, as he can naturally talk to birds.
Kevin Cecil appeared suddenly in front of the school one day, asking for his young master William. After confirming that he was, indeed, the Twinings' house steward, he was allowed access to the premises. He was almost made part of school stuff when Azul swooped in and recruited him for Octavinelle. This proved a wise investment, as Kevin is a hard worker. Aside from that, Azul found out another interesting thing – Kevin's complete lack of boundaries when it comes to gambling. Most of the money Kevin makes working at Mostro Lounge finds its way back to Azul's pocket by the end of the week. Azul sometimes teases William over this.
Gilles de Rais is a bit of a rumor at this point. He shows up unannounced in the Pomefiore uniform, then disappears just as suddenly, often startling or embarrassing students in the process. When he does stick around, it is usually by Sitri's side or gathering juicy gossip. He seems to have a thing for physically fit students and sometimes can be found in the Savanaclaw lounge, just watching. Dantalion seems particularly annoyed whenever that happens.
The twins Amon and Mamon are rarely ever seen apart. They claim to be keeping an eye on William for their master, but often goof off or just enjoy their student lives. Amon likes to play matchmaker while Mamon enjoys the luxuries of Mostro Lounge. They are very talented fliers. Sometimes, the two of them join Lilia in his pranks. The three of them get along very well, and even when they're not causing chaos, they spend a lot of time together. Outside of the transported cast, Lilia is the only one who knows of their true forms.
When Michael first showed up, he took on a different name. However, after finding this new world completely unaware of his usual environment, he dropped the pretense, now proudly walking the school halls with his brilliant white wings on full display. In time, he has aspirations to become the Heartslabyul dorm leader. He respects Riddle, though he wouldn't admit it's because Riddle reminds him of himself. He joined the Pop Music Club hoping to show them the wonders of choir music, but only ended up adding yet another unique music style that the rest of his clubmates don't particularly care about. He stays mostly for the snacks and gossip now.
Astaroth's main purpose for visiting Night Raven College was to check in on Dantalion. However, after taking a look around, she decided to spend her well-deserved vacation as an Ignihyde student. The first time she met Idia face to face, he almost lost it, though it is unclear whether it was because she was a pretty woman or just because of his usual anxiety. Astaroth enjoys the convenience of modern technology and is the definition of the phrase "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."
Since he decided that Dantalion needed a little more supervision, Baphomet has been carefully monitoring the situation, and eventually decided he would rather be close by just in case. He got sorted into Diasomnia, much to his surprise. However, he makes sure to follow the ideals of his dorm, never leaving his room messy or unorganized. That said, he does tend to have "accidents" when puns are involved, clearly not very fond of that style of humor. He has a long-standing rivalry with Leonard.
After visiting Sitri, Leonard stayed in the Pomefiore dorm, often volunteering for kitchen duty. Due to his long-standing rivalry with Baphomet, Leonard feels the need to constantly prove himself. Since he joined the school, he has organized multiple cook-offs against Baphomet, losing every single one. Even his choice of club was determined by his passionate feelings toward Baphomet. When isolated from his competition, though, he is a sweet and caring individual, often bringing Vil-approved sweets and snacks for the dorm during their yoga breaks.
While she didn't originally plan on visiting, Lamia found herself intrigued by the new environment after her mother decided to stay a while as well. However, she eventually chose Octavinelle as her dormitory, even going so far as to pretend to be a dwarf boy. She doesn't work at Mostro, excusing it by saying that her height makes it a challenge to properly serve human-sized customers, but the truth is that she finds Azul and Jade slightly off-putting. Floyd, on the other hand, has immediately won her over, and the two of them are tight as can be – especially when it comes to pranking their dormmates.
While he wasn't planning on it, when his master called, Ernest Crosby wasted no time before enrolling in a school once more. It has been a while since he was a student, of course, but fortunately enough, he does still look quite young. Noble Bell College suited him much more than Night Raven, and it also gave him enough distance to not put William in danger. And while he certainly misses the more religious aspects of his prior assignments, he does find common ground with the NBC students when it comes to the relentless pursuit of justice. He and Rollo respect each other but aren't particularly close (they bond over not being fond of Malleus and magic as a whole lol).
Often seen by Kevin's side, Raguel is a serious and always slightly gloomy young man. He doesn't seem to have any care about student life and rarely associates with anyone, even in his own dorm. He seems to get anxious when things don't go according to plan or when others act in ways he cannot predict, so he feels most at ease around those who act logically and keep their emotions aside. However, he does seem to be fond of Kalim's innocent joy and often attends his parties.
Adding to the curiosity of all the sudden new arrivals, Jeanne claims to be from a country called France, which nobody has ever heard of. She is a dedicated and spirited young lady who brightens up any room she enters. At first, she didn't want to join any club and even claimed it would interfere with her duties, but after being reassured, she decided to start an activity that would bolster the morale of her fellow students and inspire them to strive for even greater heights.
A rather curious sight occurred in Scarabia, with a ghost claiming the name of Solomon appearing seemingly out of nowhere. He has a strange charm to him and is able to make even the most hot-headed students in the school feel relaxed and safe. Furthermore, it seems he always knows just what to say. Dantalion, Sitri, Camio, and Kevin seem especially awkward when interacting with him, though Solomon himself never explains why that might be.
Another Diasomnia student who showed up with the rest is John. He generally sticks close to Camio, but the Board Games Club members know all too well just how smart and capable he is on his own as well. While he's not fond of spending hours studying, he has a natural knack for ancient languages and runs a remarkable number of alchemical experiments in the school's labs.
Well, you've made it to the end, for now, that is. I thank you again very much for reading, and I'd love to hear what you have to say!
