Hi! Hope I wasn't bothering you. I have a question for you that might seem odd(?):

How do you think the boys who don't really mention their families relationships with their relatives are like? For example: Does Cater have a good relationship with his sisters and vice versa or nah?

We actually know quite a bit about the TWST boys’ relationships with their family members (with a few exceptions, and with varying degrees of detail). It’s one of the benefits of being ahead in the JP version and having read up on a lot of the characters’ lore, I guess 🤣 So I’m not sure which characters you mean by those who “don’t really mention [what] their family relationships are like”?

I feel bad leaving the question unanswered though, so here’s a rundown of each main TWST boy and their various familial relationships (most of the things here can be easily deduced or is outright confirmed canon across the main story, vignettes, character lines, events, and/or other official TWST media):

***PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD.***

Riddle

Riddle’s mother is a well-known medical healer in their hometown.

Mrs. Rosehearts is also a very strict parent and controlled Riddle’s diet and day-to-day schedule down to the minute, losing her temper at those that would question her rules and parenting.

Young Riddle saw his mother as an example to follow, even if her decisions made him unhappy.

Modern day Riddle (particularly following the events of episode 1) has recognized how toxic his mother’s parenting methods were.

In episode 4, he resolves to confront her about this, but we never get to hear about the outcome.

It is to be noted that his demeanor changes when he speaks about his mother--he appears much less sure of himself and adopts a different expression than usual.

We can deduce that his present relationship with her is still very strained.

Riddle has a father who is also a magical healer, but Riddle’s relationship with his him is largely unknown. He seems to constantly be away from home.

Riddle implies that his parents may have a poor relationship with one another, as he says in one of his Groom-for-a-Day lines that he wishes the Queen of Hearts would share the secret to having a happy marriage with his parents.

Trey

Trey’s a normal guy coming from a normal family that runs a normal bakery. His mother and father run Patisserie Clover, and he helps them with its operation when he’s not busy. (In fact, Trey started playing soccer because his parents thought it would help him be fit for the heavy-lifting duties at the bakery.)

He has one younger sister and a younger brother that he helps his parents look after. It’s said by some of Trey’s underclassmen that he probably got into the habit of taking care of others because he already has the experience caring for his own siblings. Trey confirms that he has to tell his little brother to brush his teeth before bed.

The Clover sister is four years Trey’s junior.

The Clover brother is one year younger than Riddle.

The Clover siblings often bug Trey to make sweets for them. They also love Trey’s hamburger steak, which is prepared with Walrus-brand oyster sauce and a sunny-side egg on top.

He used to make their birthday cakes for them. Trey also used to play with fireworks with them.

Trey’s parents would get upset with him for eating the candied violets they prepare for their cakes. They also got upset with him for trying to eat random flowers and weeds to sate his cravings.

The Clovers send Trey care packages which contain candied violets. He snacks on them while studying.

Cater

Cater doesn’t mention his mom; it’s not clear if she’s gone or if she’s still around and he just doesn’t talk about her.

His father is a banker. Because the bank he works at has branches all over Twisted Wonderland, the Diamond family moves every 1-2 years to accommodate for his job. Cater’s relationship with his father is never further elaborated on in canon.

Recently, his father has been transferred less often. This relieved his mother.

Cater has two older sisters who are very into the idea of everything they do or own being "cute". From the way he speaks about them, it seems that he thinks they’re annoying to deal with, as they are said to boss Cater around and force him to do things he doesn’t care for (such as eating sweets and dressing up in clothes that they prefer) in their youth.

Cater states he would be embarrassed if his sisters saw him with his friends.

His mom and sisters used to really enjoy making homemade sweets. They (especially the sisters) would always make Cater eat their desserts by using puppy dog eyes. Because of this, Cater can no longer stomach sweets.

He used to cook simple, light meals for his older sisters.

The Diamond sisters love to decorate the home for Halloween. Cater was embarrassed so he would not invite people over.

His sisters still demand that he buy them things when he is abroad.

Cater does mention that his sisters have gotten a little nicer to him over time. He says they don’t have bad intentions and more, recently, have been asking him ahead of time what he would like to do rather than deciding for him.

Ace

The only family member we’ve heard Ace mention significantly is his older brother, who is a graduate of NRC and has told Ace how to kill time on campus (they seem to both be slackers). Trappola-nii is 7 years older than Ace and is employed in the field of entertainment (he also interned for the same company during his fourth year).

The Trappola bros are close with each other, with the older brother pulling pranks on Ace (such as buying a fancy watch with his first paycheck, posing it like a birthday present to Ace, but then going, “oh, it’s actually for myself”, blowing out the candles on Ace's birthday cake, or giving Ace an empty box as a gift and then filling it with candy). They are also on the phone at night with one another often.

It was his older brother that showed Ace how to do magic tricks (Ace learned by watching him) and how to lie effectively. He also loves movies.

Ace's brother appears to be a skilled Magift player (which is, perhaps, in part why Ace was so eager to play the sport in episode 2); Trappola-nii led Heartslabyul for the Magift opening ceremony during his school years, and there is a picture of this near a staff room.

Trappola-nii was happier than even their parents when he learned Ace got into NRC.

Even though they fight sometimes, Ace describes his brother as being light-hearted and easy to get along with. He thinks there are advantages to having an older brother, as he can rely on them for help and for advice. Ace sometimes has long phone calls into the night with his brother.

Ace has mentioned that though his father is not a mage, he is able to do simple card tricks.

His mother has yet to be mentioned in any kind of prominent manner. Ace does mention that his mom likes to keep baby photos in the house though.

His grandmother read the story of The Little Mermaid to him when he was younger. She's also the one who told Ace about the Ghost Camera.

His grandma would always warn him not to go overboard with magic.

Deuce

Deuce comes from a single parent household in Clock Town (a town in the southern are of the Queendom of Roses). It is not known what happened to his dad, or what Deuce’s relationship with his father was like.

In middle school, he thought it was babyish to receive gifts and coldly rejected them. His mom would usually say it's okay, he's at a rebellious age, but now Deuce feels guilty and wonders if he hurt her feelings.

He has a grandma, who sometimes speak with his mom.

His grandma doesn't live with them, but she has come over before to help few clothes that look "roughed up" for Deuce.

His mom often takes him to limited time grocery store sales. She tends to buy a lot, so Deuce, as the only man of the household, helps her with the bags and other hard labor.

His mother, Dylla, works as a truck driver for the famous White Rabbit Deliveries, a delivery company in the Queendom of Roses. She and Deuce share a love for vehicles.

He’s close with his mom! Deuce’s delinquent friends used to make fun of him and call him childish for it.

Deuce often talks with her over the phone about school and his friends Yuu, Ace, and Grim. However, his mom does not call him often so this implies Deuce is usually the one that calls her.

Dylla and Deuce used to not get along during his delinquent phase. Deuce would spend time in public parks to be out of the house and away from confronting her. She would always believe him if he claimed he was not guilty of doing something, even if everyone else around them blamed him or assumed it was Deuce’s fault.

Like her son, Dylla can be strong-willed, earnest, and stubborn. When she is pressured by a group of delinquents to pay for their laundry bill, she refuses and says it’s their own carelessness that got cream on their clothes.

He is amicable with his mother and appears to care deeply for her, even when he was still in his delinquent phase. It was in overhearing his mother blame herself for him going down a bad path that drove Deuce to change and set his sights on pursuing the goal of becoming an honors student. Everything he does is really driven by trying to improve himself to make his mother proud, even as early as the main story’s prologue, to events like Wish Upon a Star (in which he cries when his mom calls let Deuce know she’s proud of him).

Mrs. Spade openly talks about the cute clothes Deuce wore as a kid. She mentions that their family doesn’t have much money, so she asked coworkers for hand-me-down bc clothes, which she worked on to provide Deuce with a fancy outfit to wear for a holiday.

She makes omurice for Deuce’s birthday whenever he is home.

Deuce and his mom used to wish on stars together when he was in elementary school.

She cherishes spending time with her son; the White Rabbit Fest started the year Deuce was born and she’s been going with him every year (until he “grew up”). She misses those times and wishes he would come home more.

Dylla sometimes also took little Deuce into her work office; this was before his delinquent phase in middle school. Her coworkers recognize Deuce because of this (and are also aware of his middle school self and how different he is now, remarking that he has “really become a good boy”).

Deuce’s mom is not that good with operating electronics. This is perhaps part of why Deuce developed the talent of machine maintenance and tinkering (from helping his mom out).

Deuce is infamous in his hometown for causing a lot of trouble to others, including his neighbor. Dylla would constantly apologize for her son, and, in present day, often tells others about Deuce’s achievements and how he has turned over a new leaf. Unfortunately, some townspeople still refuse to believe her.

Of course, Dylla is very proud of how Deuce has earnestly turned over a new leaf.

Because Deuce loves eggs, Dylla has become good at preparing egg dishes. She says she is not as good at cooking anything else.

She tends to take pictures on her phone. Deuce would get shy about framed photos and hide them in his closet.

It's implied that Deuce and his mom have little in terms of free spending money, as he talks about taking advantage of supermarket sales, how little his allowance is, how his mom started gardening to help save on food costs, and how the money he wins in book 5 can really help out his family.

Leona

Farena/Falena is Leona’s older brother by 10 years. Leona’s father is ill, so Farena/Falena, is temporarily assuming the duties of king in his place. We don’t know much about Leona’s mother (who seems to be alive), nor about his relationship with his parents.

Farena/Falena is shown to be supportive of Leona despite Leona’s dour and pessimistic behavior. He sends Leona expensive gifts and insists that Leona can do great things for their country, even if he is not crowned king. In spite of this, Leona does not return Farena/Falena’s love, instead thinking of his elder brother as carefree and not thinking of the Sunset Savanna’s future.

Leona is also annoyed by his nephew and brother’s son, 5-year-old Cheka, who is very eager to play with and learn from him. Cheka sends letters, calls, and even sneaks out to see his uncle, which irritates Leona to no end. He seems to try and avoid Cheka as much as possible, but has no choice but to return home or to take his calls from time to time.

Farena/Falena has a wife, making her Leona’s sister-in-law. Though she is not often mentioned, Leona usually does obey her requests (even if he doesn’t necessarily want to) as he “respects women”, as per the culture of the Sunset Savanna.

His sister-in-law and Cheka are noisy.

He despises taking pictures and family reunions, which are typically arranged to make the royal family look good.

Ruggie

Ruggie’s father left “for work” one day and never came back, and it is not certain whether he is alive or not. Meanwhile, his mother “became a star” (she died after giving birth to him).

Ruggie’s legal guardian is his grandmother; they reside together in the slums of the Sunset Savanna. They don’t have a lot in terms of money or belongings, but they get along just fine with one another and do what they can to scrape together money and food to survive. Granny Bucchi is described by Ruggie to be “kind but tough”, scolding the neighborhood kids for misbehaving but also putting forth the effort to save ingredients so she can provide homemade donuts for her grandson on his birthday every year.

He is considered the "big cheese" of the kids back home.

Granny Bucchi is great at cooking and taught Ruggie how to do it.

Ruggie sends pictures home to her.

Though Ruggie doesn’t have any siblings, it can be said that he treats the neighborhood kids as his brothers and sisters (even if he refers to them as “brats”). They are all struggling to get by, so he consciously gets leftovers and other tidbits from the cafeteria ghosts to bring home with him on winter break to share with everyone. He also used to babysit them and entertain the kids with flower crowns.

Jack

Jack mentions having a mother and father; it is assumed that they get along okay, as he doesn’t mention having any particular qualms with them. He also mentions grandparents.

Wolf beastmen only have one partner for life, and Jack says he suspects he will have a relationship like that similar to his parents and grandparents.

His UM is similar to that of his maternal grandma. He would watch her transform often.

His dad passed onto him a wristwatch when he was a middle schooler. Jack treasures it as a keepsake and wears it only for special occasions.

He also has a younger brother and a younger sister. His brother is 11, and his sister is 7. Jack says that he often does winter sports with them, particularly his brother, such as skiing.

His little sister believes in wishing wells and always runs to one if she sees it.

His parents always made homemade cakes to celebrate his birthday.

When his brother was younger, he’d always used to follow Jack around the house like a puppy. However, now that he’s older, he “started to get really rude” to Jack, though Jack says that the attitude means he can have a healthy sibling rivalry with his brother. It is notable that Jack’s brother is a non-mage.

His younger brother has more friends than him and is a good student.

Jack once tried to make a flower crown for his sister but it came out shoddy and made her cry. He has not tried again since.

As for his sister, she is said to always nag her brothers to include her in their outings. Jack appears to worry for her safety, as he wants to include her and to experience the thrill of gliding down a mountain with her too, but that she doesn’t have the endurance yet at her age. Overall, both of Jack’s younger siblings really look up to him!

Azul

Azul’s mother runs a successful restaurant (which the Tweels visited in middle school). She provided Azul with many of his favorite foods and encouraged him to clean his plate. Azul extols her business acumen and culinary abilities, as now her restaurant is considered the “hottest” in the Coral Sea. He is delighted that they have shared vocations and interests.

His mom spoils him. One example is through food; she provides a lot for him.

We don’t know a lot about Azul’s biological father, only that Mama Ashengrotto met her current husband and Azul’s stepfather over the course of her divorce proceedings. Stepfather Ashengrotto is a lawyer, and Azul describes him as “soft hearted and sincere”, but a master at his craft. Azul picked up some knowledge about laws and contracts from him, and he is someone that Azul greatly admires. Additionally, Azul presents him as someone that his mother is quite happy with.

Another important figure in Azul’s family is his grandmother. He notes that everyone in is family is capable of using magic, with his grandmother being a particularly gifted mage. Like the Sea Witch, Grandma Ashengrotto uses her powers to help their neighbors. From his wording, it seems that Azul is also pleased that his grandma is just as benevolent as he is.

His grandma is strict and scary when she is angry. She wants Azul to grow up to be someone who is strong, independent, and willing to help others. Azul says that he loves his grandma a lot and has a strong bond with her. He attributes who he is today and his stance on compensation to his grandma.

Both of Azul’s (biological) parents are mages.

Azul says his mom got busy with the restaurant after her divorce, so his grandma often looked after him. Grandma Ashengrotto spoiled young Azul with lots of snacks every time he came home from school. He describes her as being too kind (though he learned of her strictness when she started instructing him on magic). Azul used to run away from lessons because of this, but once he started to find success in his magic, he enjoyed the compliments his grandma offered. He ultimately credits his being good at magic to his grandmother.

Jade and Floyd

Jade and Floyd are twins, with “neither being the older one or the younger one”. They have also said that they “chose” each other. This speaks to a popular fan theory which states that Jade and Floyd were the lone survivors (because they worked together) in a large group of Leech siblings that were not able to survive in the harsh environment of the Coral Sea.

Jade often enables Floyd to act out (as it brings him a lot of entertainment).

Of the two, Floyd is the one that is concerned about not being treated as though he is “the same” as Jade. They know when to not get in each other’s way, but they do quarrel at times (which doesn’t necessarily mean they hate each other, they generally do, in fact, get along).

... Actually, you know what? I’d recommend just reading this long ass post I wrote about Jade and Floyd’s sibling dynamic, otherwise I’ll ramble here forever and ever.

Floyd doesn't like the idea of always being with Jade, as it limits what he can do.

Their fights can get incredibly violent.

Jade credits Floyd being his "reliable partner" as the reason why he was able to survive. (From the moment they hatch in the Coral Sea, it is a struggle to survive.)

Floyd turns down Jade's invites to the mountain, whereas Jade refuses to go to Floyd's basketball games.

Jade tells us that their mother contacts them nearly every day and seems to be a worrier. Their father is a worrier too; Jade calls them birds of a feather.

Mama Leech was also said to have taught Jade self-defense as a child, so she appears to be a protective parent as well. Floyd calls their mom “mama”, so some have taken this to mean that he in particular is a mama’s boy.

Papa Leech also taught the twins useful skills like lock picking and how to break out of binds.

The Leech parents loved seeing Floyd dress up as a rabbit.

The Leech parents own a few businesses along the shore, selling food and accessories to fellow merfolk. They sometimes go to land for work.

Mr. Leech has connections with a hotel and a wedding venue in Ultramarine City. This is because he helped support their development.

Sometimes Jade and Floyd would visit the surface without telling their parents. They're not supposed to do this without adult supervision, as the waves could easily sweep away children.

Their father is influential in the Coral Sea and puts a strong emphasis on dressing well and how one presents themselves (which is why Floyd seems to take an interest in fashion, particularly shoes). Jade insists that their family business is very “normal”, but it seems very suspicious that their father’s business associates try to give gifts to curry favor with him.

More recently, we learned that Jade and Floyd also live with their grandmother, though not much else is known about her.

Floyd is charming and doted on by relatives.

Jade has never listened to what others told him. He only listens to himself. The Leech parents found it difficult to deal with.

Mrs. Leech, Georgina, speaks with Mrs. Ashengrotto and has tea with Granny Ashengrotto.

She is calm and not easily flustered. She also has good taste in fashion.

Jade tells Georgina about Riddle. She is aware of Floyd’s nicknames for his classmates.

She and her husband were overjoyed when their sons were invited into NRC. Georgina says she could see a bright future for them and is happy they have more tools to survive.

Georgina always worries about how her sons are getting on at school. She calls both of them honest/straightforward and praises them for adapting to land so well.

All she wants is for her sons to enjoy themselves and to be happy + full of energy. It does not matter if she is inconvenienced.

Georgina scolds Jade when he is being too mean to his friends. She is happy that Jade has a friend that will scold him (Riddle) and a friend that tries to understand him (Rook).

She says Jade at least got along with Floyd as kids. They often spent time apart and liked different things but were perfectly in sync when making trouble. The twins would sneak into coral reefs or pull pranks on larger fish.

She gave Jade a crushing hug when he, a middle schooler, went missing for 3 days trying to find a toy that had fallen into the sea. It's left vague as to whether this was a punishment or an act of relief. However, Jade states that the embrace was so powerful that it made Floyd's squeezes look cute. He describes his bones being crushed and that he had to stay home from school for an additional week after the embrace.

The Leech household is more hands-off. They have no curfew and Jade never got scolded for not coming home for many days. If other people get involved or this causes trouble for others beyond the family, Georgina cares. Her kids are free to do as they please but must take responsibility for themselves.

Sometimes the twins would go off on long adventures and cause the adults to panic.

Georgina is someone that Azul finds difficult to deal with. She always offers him snacks and acts strangely, like laughing after asking a strange question or staring at him silently.

Kalim

Kalim’s father is a wealthy merchant. He made his money through innovation and by making use of the waterways in Silk City. Papa Asim always seems to be busy, but he also seems to be a jolly guy. He donated a lot of money to NRC to get Kalim in, as well as to build entirely new parts of the Scarabia dorm (including a storage room to keep the mountains of gold and jewels he sends Kalim), so it’s clear that Papa Asim wants to financially support his family and invest in its future.

Jamil says Mr. Asim spoils Kalim rotten; the magic carpet is a treasure Kalim's dad allowed him to bring to school (even though Kalim initially wasn't supposed to).

His dad has gifted him land before.

He likes handing out gifts to his siblings and loves spoiling them.

Kalim likes to play pretend with his siblings. Lately, they enjoy pretending to be chefs or merchants, but sometimes swipe actual lobsters or gold coins from around the house which causes trouble for the servants.

He considers everyone in his dorm to be like family and considers Jamil to be like a brother to him.

He has a soft spot for people younger than him.

He used to play in the dirt with his younger siblings, but doesn't do that anymore.

His mom gave him a gold bracelet as a protection charm.

They have a car for each child, with the license plate being for each child's birthday.

Kalim's family sends him lots of expensive birthday gifts every year.

Kalim’s mom says he was a handful when he was a baby.

When he was little, his family and him would go to see a play. A ruler dressed up like a servant in it.

Kalim often goes on business trips with his father; additionally, their home(s) is often used to host important guests. He likes seeing people happy at these functions!

Kalim describes his mother as a sweet lady that says nice things about him and rarely gets mad. Before him, his mom was the only one in his family capable of using magic.

Most notably, Kalim says he has roughly about 30-40 younger siblings (he has lost track of how many exactly; it's not clear if they are all from one mother or not), and he is the eldest. He says his siblings are very cute and he likes playing with them. Apparently, they can all play instruments and sometimes put on performances for their parents.

The youngest Asim sibling is a boy who is not even old enough for elementary school.

When Kalim goes home, he reads storybooks to his siblings.

He would have sleepovers with his siblings; Jamil would read bedtime stories to them.

Some of Kalim’s siblings are older than 10; he remarks that they start getting cheeky after that age.

Kalim has relatives that are royalty.

One of his cousins owns a tiger.

The previous dorm leader of Scarabia was also an Asim and recommended Kalim to be next in line.

Whenever the family gets together, they throw big, lavish parties and enjoy one another’s company. Kalim believes that it is very important to spend time with one's family.

Kalim's entire family plays a big role in the economy and the politics of Silk City. In fact, they developed a network of canals and first used those to do trade, which allowed the city to flourish. Kalim hopes that he can be as influential and helpful as his ancestors were.

Jamil

Jamil has a mother and a father which we learn about via his episode 4 post-OB flashback. The Viper family has been in servitude to the Asim family for several generations, and it seems that Mama and Papa Viper are very adamant in maintaining this relationship, and keeping Jamil in a place of subservience to Kalim (often reminding Jamil to never surpass or perform better than the young master). Because of this, Jamil is sometimes shown to be frustrated not only with his situation, but with his parents for not being willing to “understand” him.

Papa Viper is stated to not understand smartphones or even computers.

Though Jamil resents his parents telling him to humble himself to Kalim, he admires his parents’ exceptional intelligence and ability to entertain and ease guests from all cultures. (Jamil says he wants to emulate this skill.) They immersed Jamil in special social occasions when he was a child to help prepare him for this.

He also has a 14-year old younger sister named Najma, whom we meet face-to-face in an event where we visit Silk City in the Scalding Sands. Previously, Jamil had mentioned Najma in a few lines, such as saying that his younger sister makes fun of the dishes he cooks and complains they look boring. They bicker with one another a fair bit, with Najma sharing embarrassing stories of Jamil in his youth to his classmates and cheekily eating Jamil’s food, and Jamil being annoyed at her for it and retaliating in reserved, sarcastic way. Still, it does appear that they care for one another, but just don’t act overt about it. For example, Jamil decides to give a VDC ticket to Najma when he could have chosen to not invite her at all, and Najma is happy and curious to learn about her big brother’s NRC friends. Jamil also picks up souvenirs for her when abroad and Najma sends him hair products for his birthday.

Their parents tend to nag them to stay out of trouble. They tend to hound Jamil to complete tasks for them, though Najma sometimes also gets this (like when their father insisted she come deliver a message to Jamil in person even when she had already texted him).

It is said that all those born a Viper are destined for servitude. This implies that Najma will one day be a servant to the Asims too.

Vil

We don’t know much about Vil’s family other than his father, who is a magicless and a famous actor that goes by the stage name “Eric Venue”. Eric is a very supportive father and encouraged young Vil in his acting endeavors (even when Vil kept being typecasted in exclusively villain roles), calling his son cute and talented.

They are not open with the public about being related, as Vil wants to be known for his own merits rather than for his connection with an already well-established figure in the entertainment industry.

Vil traveled around with his dad for work and he maintains a strong relationship with his father to this day; it seems that Eric keeps up with Vil’s gigs and often dotes on him. For example, his dad makes an active effort to try and make time in his schedule to hang out with his son (eating lunch, shopping, and seeing movies together).

Eric took Vil with him to his shoots since before Vil started elementary school. It was here that Vil's career started, as he was asked by the staff to participate.

Eric is okay with frankness + informalities and can be down-to-earth when he’s not working. He’s eager to meet Vil’s friends!! Eric gives off a very mature and charming aura.

Though they don’t make their status as father and son public, they do sometimes work together in productions. Vil can be stern with Eric, being blunt about his flaws and stubborn when it comes to negotiating professionally (like his father)

They laugh similarly and share a love for fashion, beauty, and health.

Eric does mostly of his own stunts rather than relying on a body double. Vil seems to really admire his father and his work, and someday wishes to join Eric among the ranks of the elites of the entertainment industry. For example, his father’s handprints are in the Legend Plaza and Vil aims for the same. Vil also dreams of being able to play a middle aged father character like Eric has before.

Eric worried about Vil's social life, as Vil was a child actor often absent from school for his work. Because of this, Vil did not have many friends in his childhood and usually spent time home alone with the family maid.

Eric had a period of time in which he was given only minor roles (thanks to a magazine declaring he was "third-rate" and was only successful because of his looks), but he continued to be so successful that he eventually returned to playing the star. He started his own production company and now stands at the top of the entertainment industry.

Eric is humble and declares that he has many faults. One of these faults is he is bad at housework, both cooking and cleaning. They have a maid that often scolds him for this.

Vil and Eric are often so busy they don't spend time living together. However, the little time they do spend in their home is described to be happy. They would take it easy and stay put, as going outside would just attract attention.

Vil and Eric made beauty treatments and supplements together at home for fun. Eric is apparently very knowledgeable about beauty products.

Every Halloween, Eric would come home with a unique costume and makeup.

Eric works very hard, doing jobs that should be left to lower ranked staff members of his production company such as presentations. Vil has to remind him to rest and to take breaks sometimes.

Although Eric is a very kind and supportive father, Vil says that he is a "show biz demon" who will accept nothing less than perfection. Vil describes his father as someone with lofty goals and will not accept compromise during negotiations. Furthermore, he is willing to do anything to achieve his goals. If someone makes a mistake, they are taken off the set and told to leave on the spot. Looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

It appears that Vil inherited magic from his mother's side. However, he does not know who his mom is or where she came from, and he does not express any interest in investigating or learning these details.

Rook

Rook has a mother, a father, and five siblings (two older than him, and three younger than him). He says he used to have pajama parties with his siblings, but presumably they don’t anymore because they’re so busy.

His mother was surprised that he had survived in the jungle as a 6-year old in only a grass skirt.

Their family must be significantly influential, as the Hunts own villas all over Twisted Wonderland which are equipped with warp pads (which require special governmental clearance from various countries in order to build and use).

Rook states that it’s difficult to get his family together at the same time and in the same place. These usually occur only once a year, and they can get very lively. From this, we can infer that the Hunt family gets along pretty well.

He says his family values independence.

Epel

Epel has a VERY large family. Neither of his parents are magicians, but his grandma and great grandma are.

He lives in a single house with his parents, grandparents, great grandma, uncle, aunt, and cousin. They all work together and pitch in to raise apples on the family farm.

When his grandma and grandpa fight, they make up with each other by baking an apple pie.

Epel's cousin is younger than him; he gifted his cousin his plushies. It's sometimes hard to relate with his cousin due to the large age gap.

Epel seems to really cherish his family, as he has developed apple carving skills to make blemished apples good to sell again, and worries in the main story about tourism going down and affecting the family business. He also mentions wanting to make a potion to strengthen apple trees, as this would make his grandpa happy.

We meet Epel’s grandma, Marja, when we visit Harveston for a sledding race. She can be very kind and caring, but is also tough, rough around the edges, and competitive. Through Marja, we can get a better sense of why Epel is the way that he is, and how he lovingly engages with those in his family and his hometown.

Epel has relatives that live near Clock Town.

Idia

Idia describes his parents as “[putting] results over the feelings of their son” when they pull him out of school to do blot research. He recalls being raised since he was a child to assume the position of STYX director following his father, granting him very little freedom of his own.

Idia’s grandmother, Aidne, was the previous director of STYX. His father currently occupies that position. Aidne has passed away.

His mother is the current head of technical operations/engineering at STYX. She appears to be very loving and worried for her children. Mrs. Shroud has the ability to hack into her son’s files and devices. She refers to her husband as “papa”, and her presence seems to warm him up.

He gets his moments of hyperfixation and desire to prove others wrong from his mother.

Idia describes both his dad and his grandmother as negative/pessimistic and depressing people to be around. Indeed, his father seems to be stoic and formal.

His father describes Idia, Ortho, and his wife as geniuses, but implies that he himself is a normal person.

The Shrouds are said to be a branch of the even larger and more affluent Jupiter family. However, Idia appears to feel very alienated from the Jupiters, often saying things like he’s “not welcome” and that he “doesn’t belong” with them.

Idia was very close with Ortho, often playing video games with him and talking about all the adventures they’d go on someday. Because of this, his accidental involvement in Ortho’s death weighed particularly heavy on him, and to cope, Idia built an artificial intelligence and installed it in a humanoid robot to simulate “Ortho”. he views Robo!Ortho as nothing more than an AI until episode 6, where he is finally able to confront his trauma, accept Ortho’s death, and recognize Robo!Ortho as his own person and as his “little brother”.

Idia has a very positive view of Ortho, often doing things for his sake or going along with what Ortho asks of him. He is also protective of his little brother, usually encouraging Ortho to stay out of bad situations or worrying for his safety.

Book 7 implies that Idia also acknowledges Phantom!Ortho (ie the now dead Ortho) as his brother as well. Phantom!Ortho seems to care about his brother and wants him to be happy.

The Shroud parents keep a family photo on their work desks.

(Robo!)Ortho

Being modelled after the original Ortho and programmed to behave as such, Robo!Ortho’s initial personality very much revolved around his older brother and creator, Idia. He looks up to him and thinks that Idia is just the coolest guy around! In fact, he’ll go so far as to threaten to fire a laser at NRC if the other students don’t rescue Idia from a ghost bride for him! Robo!Ortho is also quick to intervene whenever he overhears people talk badly of Idia. It’s very clear that he loves and cares for his older brother a lot!

He takes pics on his birthday and sends them to his parents.

In episode 6, Robo!Ortho meets with OG!Ortho and they seem to merge into one being. I’m not sure if this counts as a sibling meeting a sibling, or if it’s someone just staring at their own reflection, but it’s something to note. Both Orthos care about Idia and want to help “free” him of the Shroud family’s “curse”, and of the burden of being chained to the Underworld--and they’re willing to go so far as to turn against the whole world to achieve that. If that isn’t a true, brotherly love, then I don’t know what is.

After Idia finally acknowledges Robo!Ortho as his own person, Ortho still maintains his respect and love for his brother, but also insists on developing himself and acting on his own without his brother or his assistance. It’s not that Ortho now “dislikes” Idia more, but that Ortho wants to now focus on creating his own identity. He’s maturing into something defined by his own volition, not someone else’s.

Ortho is accepted as a son by the Shroud parents, most notably the mother (who refers to him as “Or-kun”. Mrs. Shroud is described as “the strongest person” in the family by Ortho.

The original Ortho (for whom robo!Ortho’s memories derive) used to go out a lot to parks, mountains, and rivers with Idia and their parents. When Idia started to shut himself up in his room (following Ortho’s death), they stopped going out as a group—but more recently, he’s been going out with them again.

Ortho says that Idia is a lot like their father; they are both negative and pessimistic people, but you can always count on them in the end.

Ortho describes their mother as the strongest in the family. Normally she is nice but she gets scary when she’s mad.

He takes pictures and videos of school events for their parents.

Malleus

His only living relative is his grandmother (Maleficia), who currently rules the Briar Valley. It seems that they are close, as his grandmother often sends him cards for special occasions, such as his birthday, and tried to make time in her busy schedule as queen to sit down and eat with her then young grandson. She is also said to be very strict in matters of invitation etiquette and how one presents themselves.

Lilia, though not blood related, is responsible for mentoring Malleus. His comments also seem to be ones that Malleus often takes to heart, as Malleus gets upset when scolded by Lilia.

The queen and Lilia are described as being the ones who taught Malleus that humans feared them, creatures of the night. Malleus also really enjoys being praised and receiving head pats from those two.

Book 7 implies that his mother died fighting invading Silver Owls while his father went missing on a diplomatic mission.

Lilia describes both Malleus's grandmother and mother (the Draconias in general, really) as extremely stubborn people who always have to do things their own way. They never listen to advice, even when it comes from Lilia.

Malleus’s mom, Maleanor, is the princess of Briar Valley and Lilia describes her as tomboyish and “spitfire”, always wishing to do her own thing. He had to accompany her on trips outside the palace. Lilia also says she is strong, yet reckless, selfish, argumentative, and easily angered. She had a lot of the powers Malleus does, such as fire breathing and control over lightning. He has known his princess since they were kids several hundreds of years ago.

According to a voice line from Lilia, Malleus’s father is someone that he regards as his close friend. His name is Raverne, and it seems he is missing but basically considered deceased.

Maleanor is soft and fawning only to her husband.

Raverne is kind and careful, seeming to be more of a diplomat than his wife or Lilia. He and Lilia were described to be very close.

We don’t see Maleanor or Raverne interact with each other, but Maleanor says her husband is handsome. It’s funny to think about her being absolutely smitten with Raverne while she’s raging at everyone else… similar to how she is caring and gentle to her unborn baby while she’s simultaneously shooting lightning at Lilia…

Lilia

He doesn’t have any blood-related relatives that we know of.

Lilia himself is an orphan. He was taken in by Queen Maleficia, Malleus's grandmother, to be a ward.

He trained Silver, Sebek, and Malleus in both combat and survival.

Lilia asked Sebek’s dad for help raising a human child.

Lilia gave up a significant amount of his magic to help Malleus hatch from his egg. Malleus says that since he hatched, Lilia has always been by his side, typically serving as a mentor figure.

Lilia found Silver in the abandoned and thorn-covered Wild Rose castle. The day he found Silver became his birthday, and Lilia granted him a blessing which made Silver’s hair go from blonde to silver.

Silver is his adopted son. There are notable times when Lilia and Silver have butted heads (usually because Lilia acted in an insensitive way). For example, Lilia neglected to tell Silver about his and Malleus’s prank in Endless Halloween Night, which made Silver upset with him, as it put lives on both sides in danger. Lilia also informed Silver that he was adopted in a rather callous way (something like, ”you didn’t notice our ears were different until now?”), which resulted in Silver running away in the middle of a storm. Despite this, their relationship in the present is generally amicable, and it seems that Lilia cares a lot for Silver (especially given that he ran after him in the aforementioned storm to retrieve him, and even nursed him back to health when Silver came down with a fever).

Silver

Silver’s father is the Dawn Knight and his mother is princess Leah, meaning Silver is a prince of “the enemy”. He was cursed to sleep (and didn’t age during this period) for several hundred years to avoid the warring era he was born into, only awakening when he found “true love” (ie Lilia discovered him).

The Dawn Knight is also an orphan; he was taken in by Leah and Heinrick’s father, a sickly king.

He treasures every gift Lilia gives him, no matter how strange.

Silver was apparently named for his hair color, but we later learn the silver is not natural. Lilia actually named silver after the guiding moonlight, hoping that he could be a light in the darkness.

Silver was adopted by Lilia as an infant. He seems to be very close with his adoptive father and highly respects him (though that doesn’t exempt Silver from getting annoyed with Lilia every now and again), as he mentions in various lines and vignettes that he cherishes his “dear father”, as well as the name that his “dear father” granted him.

Lilia brings Silver lots of souvenirs from his travels. Many of those souvenirs are books.

Silver tried to learn nocturnal fae language from Lilia, but failed because a human’s ears are less sensitive than that of fae.

We learn in episode 7 that Silver is eternally indebted to Lilia; he absolutely wants to be by Lilia’s side until his dying breath and seems to be upset that he, as a human, cannot rival the lifespan or strength of a fae to endure alongside his father.

Silver made an acorn amulet (a symbol of good health and happiness) for Lilia, which Silver has since forgotten about. However, Lilia calls it his most precious treasure.

He’s friends with lots of animals!!

Sebek’s family would look after Silver when Lilia left for extended periods of time. Because of this and Sebek being of a similar age to him, Silver would often play with Sebek in their childhoods.

Lilia has an instant camera which is used to take pictures of Silver on his birthday.

Sebek

Sebek’s father is a magicless human and a dentist. Sebek regards him as weak and someone who is difficult to understand, as Papa Zigvolt often dotes on his children, offers them candy, and acts impressed when he witnesses them use magic. Though Sebek seems to talk down to his father, he does also have a fondness for him that he won’t admit to (as, when asked who he would pick to be stranded on an island with, Sebek chooses Trey over everyone else. The reason Sebek provides is that Trey reminds him of his father, but he becomes embarrassed when his interviewer comments that he must really love his dad).

Sebek credits his grandfather for his love of reading and his ability to read and speak in fae. He also learned some nocturnal fae language from his mother.

He has demonstrated an interest in martial arts from ~7 years old. His older brother and sister, however, did not. Baur personally asked Lilia to train Sebek for him.

Mrs. Zigvolt is much older than Mr. Zigvolt, but she also looks much younger than he does.

Sebek describes his relationship with his dad as "not being bad", but that his dad smiles all the time and that irritates him. Additionally, Sebek is frustrated whenever he has to ask anything of his father.

Sebek’s mother is a powerful Nocturnal Fae and sports a strong bite (which is a trait of their bloodline). She appears to be very headstrong, as she married a magicless human despite significant social pressure against it. Sebek looks up to her and admires her, particularly for her prowess in magic, but does not understand what he sees in her husband.

Sebek's mom met his dad when she went in for a dental appointment at his clinic. She currently works as his dental assistant.

He has a grandpa (on his mother’s side) who is a retired knight of the Briar Valley Royal Guard. Grandpa Zigvolt (named Baur) immigrated to the Briar Valley from the Sunset Savanna. Despite being fae himself and having a disdain for humans in the past, he accepts his grandchildren as they are.

Sebek seems to really like him, as he tells tales of spending time at his grandpa’s lakeside home fishing. (Baur lives next to his daughter and grandchildren.) Apparently, he doesn't approve of it when he sees Sebek eating sweets but always keeps candies and sweet drinks on hand anyway. Baur bought Sebek lots of books and fostered his love for reading.

Sebek's grandfather is said to tell a lot of stories himself. Lilia describes him as "telling the same old stories" for many centuries. It also seems that Sebek has adopted his grandfather's narrow-minded attitude and manner of speaking.

Baur is also described as being stern, but seems very loving. He was proud of Sebek when told about his grandson's success in school and was happy when the Zigvolt siblings made him salmon carpaccio.

Baur never approved of his daughter’s marriage to a human and still doesn’t to this day. His daughter does her best to show him how happy she is by sharing pictures, inviting him to dinners, and bringing her kids over. She is hoping he will accept her husband someday.

Sebek and his mom both speak their minds loudly.

His father likes to take pictures more than his mother does. He is obsessive about it and has several professional grade cameras.

Over time, Baur has softened up. He never used to let Sebek’s dad in but now does like once a year, among other small things.

Baur initially thinks of Sebek as weak, so he asks Lilia to train him. Still, Baur thinks its important for his grandson to get a good education and that he has done nothing to warrant ire.

Sebek has an older brother and sister, but not much is known about them. He mentions that they took him to a contest where they use magic to try and match the color of a dress provided. All the Zigvolt siblings were impressed by the competition.

His older sister calls him "Sebek-chan".

Sebek would often go to the park with his parents and siblings.

Sebek’s older brother also graduated from NRC.

Mozus Trein

Trein’s wife is deceased. However, they had a very loving relationship and he misses her. dearly. They went on dates in Fleur City/the City of Flowers, which he is embarrassed to talk about to his students.

He has two adult daughters (Dolly and Anna) who are all grown up and moved out of the house. They often worry about his health and ask Trein to call them if he ever needs any help. To this day, they still call him "Papa". Trein describes them as “carefree like children” but encourages them to be independent and to do their own chores.

Trein is in the habit of nagging his daughters. He worries about them since they lost their mother during their formative years.

Trein and Lucius love having the entire family together. Lucius gets excited and eager to clean up his cat toys upon hearing Anna and Dolly will visit.

Lucius is his familiar, but Trein has had him since hr wad a kitten also dotes on him as though Lucius is a beloved pet. He talks about his familiar very lovingly and gets into arguments with Crewel about whether cats and dogs are better.

Grim does not remember anything about his past or where he comes from.

It can be said that he likely considers Yuu, Adeuce, and the Ramshackle Ghosts to be his family.

When he finds himself alone in book 6, Grim cries. He also becomes sad upon realizing that Yuu won’t be with him anymore once they return to their world.

Chenya

He mentions his grandfather on a few occasions. According to Chenya, his grandfather is a wise but carefree guy who loves to eat and play pranks.

Chenya has spent half of his life traveling with his grandpa.

His grandpa taught Chenya about a special language only they know.

He lives with the Seven Dwarves and helps them with housework when he’s not rehearsing. They seem to be good friends and help to support one another, both in performances and in life in general.

It’s not outright stated that he is an orphan, but the game says that Neige and his friends lived “without adults”.

He doesn’t share his personal history with the press and donates most his his pay to charities that specifically help “aid underprivileged children with their futures”.

Rollo Flamme

He had an unnamed little brother; this little brother acquired magic before Rollo did and loved to show magic tricks because it made Rollo smile. A fire spell went out of control and killed the younger Flamme in that blaze. It is implied that Rollo’s UM spawned from this incident.

Rollo’s disdain of magic originated from the loss of his brother.

He is still heavily conflicted about the event, trying to pass the blame onto the world and using that as motivation to rid Twisted Wonderland of magic.

Rollo’s parents are alive and well. They have worried a lot about Rollo ever since his little brother died. They write to him at NBC to check up on him, and Rollo responds to their letters, reassuring them that he is fine.

Fellow Honest & Gidel

No known family members.

Fellow and Gidel are not related by blood, but Fellow seems to look after and take care of Gidel as though they were brothers.

Fellow is protective of Gidel and warns him to not listen to the NRC students when they ask Gidel if he is interested in getting an education. He wants to prevent his “little bro’s” hopes and dreams from getting crushed like his were.

Gidel follows Fellow’s orders with very little hesitation. There is a degree of trust between them.

Fellow and Gidel are nomads who scam people together. He listens to Gidel’s suggestions on where they should go next.

Fellow tries his best to teach Gidel skills such as reading, though his own knowledge is limited.

When Fellow is upset or frustrated, Gidel encourages and motivates him.
