hi i want to write about korin and vil’s relationship because it’s a lot and even though this verse is literally a meme to me at this point, i’ve accidentally gone and got attached to some of korin’s dynamics with characters.
i want to preface this by saying i’m clearly not a vil roleplayer and i’m not someone that knows like ... a lot lore nor character wise. all of this is based off of my personal interpretations and what canon (the wiki KHGLDF) has provided me. so with all that in mind i’m sorry if something in particular might not fit in your mind.
to begin it should be noted that despite maybe not appearing so right off the bat, korin absolutely fits within pomefiore’s dorm. the seeming obsession and pursuit of perfection and beauty that both vil and the dorm as a general vibe exhibit are qualities that she has, just in a uniquely subtle way. so in a way korin and vil are extremely similar. it’s their methodology, however, that’s at complete odds and thus where their strife starts.
korin’s fixation of beauty and being perceived as pretty is undoubtly connected to her childhood. she’s always struggled with her appearance and as she grew older made it a point to always present herself in a certain manner.
i think before epel’s inclusion within the dorm, vil’s “project” was korin. which led to a lot of the scrutiny that we see epel under in ep 5 being focused on her instead. at first it was actually very pleasent for her. she wanted to change and vil was just the catalyst she needed in order to start that. plus, it was ... almost kind of like bonding? in korin’s mind it felt like a friendship that she had never had before — i.e like ones you see in teen movies.
vil for their part has never been cruel or melicious with their comments and nitpicks, however. from what we see it comes from a genuine place and a wish to help. but korin, on the other hand, is highly sensitive and predispositioned to an extremely negative self-image. something not exactly known to anyone, let alone vil. so those critiques, instead of being seen as a way to improve, began to quickly worsen her already low self-esteem. they felt more like attacks on her being and as korin isn’t someone really capable of verbalizing her problems it goes on until she does finally snap.
basically they live in a sick cycle of vil not knowing what they’re saying hurts more than helps and korin, instead of explaining that, gets defensive and incites an argument instead. obviously this would wear down literally anyone pretty quickly so after a certain point all their interactions just become ... extremely passive agressive.
there’s, of course, other problems too. korin’s lack of care towards school and her grades in general is also a pretty big sticking point because by all accounts she’s a representative of pomefiore as a fellow third year. it’s a bad look to have an upperclassman be so indifferent and downright disrespectful at times. especially when said third year does often get in trouble and the responsibilty falls to vil to clean up her messes.
ALSO! a big inspiration for these two actually comes from howl and sophie from howl’s moving castle. more specifically, from the scene where howl starts to break down over his hair and sophie’s reaction to it. i think it’s extremely fitting in that korin sees vil’s struggles as ... almost trivial compared to her’s even though they’re the exact same.
howl: i give up. i see no point in living if i can’t be beautiful. sophie: fine! so, you think you’ve got it bad? sophie: i’ve never once been beautiful my entire life!
at the end of the day though i believe they both deeply care for each other but just aren’t really meant to be friends until they both work out their personal issues which may have started after episode 5 but i can guarantee it hasn’t fixed everything.
twisted wonderland ( pomefiore ver. ) ...
beneath an ivory moon, beneath the silken silence.
dorm pomefiore age nineteen year third class 3-D student no. ??? club dance appreciation best subject magical pharmaceuticals dominant hand left favorite food taiyaki least favorite food pickled foods dislikes attending class hobby ballet talents sneaking out undetected
appearance unmistakably feline. korin’s most notable and noticeable features are quite possibly the set of ears that rest utop her head and the overtly large tail stemming from her lower back. beyond first glance one can also see sharpened canines as well as nails that could be and should be classified more as claws.
her school uniform differentiates in subtle ways from her dormmates; the ribbon she is seen with often replaces the standard tie, she opts to wear a more loose fitting blazer with her vest tucked in, and instead of dress shoes she tucks her slacks into boots. in the summer she dons shorts meanwhile in the winter she often adds a turtleneck and cardigan under her school blazer.
when wearing her dorm uniform she prefers to replace the pants with tights for the further appearance of a furisode. like with her school uniform, korin finds a way to incorperate her ribbon by tying it into her hair in varying fashions.
history originally enrolled in royal sword academy, early within korin’s first year she was unfortunately discovered to be a rather poor student despite being exceptionally gifted in magic. facing expulsion she instead decided to find a way to transfer to night raven college and while speaking with the headmaster — struck a deal with him. the condition being that she may instead attend nrc immediately so long as she also acted as assitant to the nurses within the infirmary given her talent and general knowhow for magical pharmiaceuticals and elixir making. not wanting to disappoint her mother and also finding the solution to be overwhelmingly in her favor, she accepted and was placed within pomefiore. unique magic korin’s unique magic is called nine lives. it allows her to assume the shape of any cat she has seen before, however, at any given time she can only shift into nine different types. her favored form and natural form is that of an angora cat.
trivia / notes — korin is based off of duchess from the aristocats. — she has stated that the pink ribbon she wears frequently was a gift from her brother. — due to being the only one ( the official numbers being a bit ... fudged ) in her club, she often uses the time allotted for it to take naps undisturbed. however, there are times when she instead practices ballet. — like other’s within her dorm, she excels at mixing and creating poisons. though she’s said that she has no real interest in them and instead focuses on creating antidotes and other potions. — prior to yuu’s rescideny within the ramshackle dorm, it was korin’s hideaway whenever pomefiore and her dormmates became too overwhelming for her. to the point that the ghosts haunting the rooms become some of her first friends at night raven.
