Did You Guys Know I Actually Have More Ocs Beside Gia? LEL Its Okay, I Forget.

did you guys know i actually have more ocs beside gia? LEL it’s okay, i forget.

helena “lena” jupiter and her twin brother hiro jupiter— twisted off teenage hercules and young adult hercules respectively

lena attends corlux key seminary— of which you can get more info from my buddy @inmateofthemind’s posts here— and attends the arcane exchange into nrc’s campus. though raised by the impossibly rich and privileged jupiter family, lena wrestles with an extreme case of self-deprecation due to the family’s blessing being passed down to her— the second born female twin— instead of the “rightful” bearer, her elder brother. while her blessing grants her with beyond human physical prowess and a staggeringly large magical pool, it’s a bit much for her young body to bear just yet and she is constantly overdoing it. things tend not to stay in one piece around her.

she’s sweet, though incredibly timid and wracked with social anxieties, a direct opposite to her confident, golden boy twin.

still— helena is a steadfast believer in the ‘do it scared’ mentality. she might not like what she has to do and she’ll have to do it through tears, but by the seven she’ll do it.

that might be why she becomes smitten with a certain spade card solider. (ship name being 'go the limit' as a mash up of deuce's 'bet the limit' unique magic and lena's 'go the distance'. but deulena also works lel)

Have Some TWST Fan Lore Part 1: The Arcane Exchange

First of all, credit to @cyanide-latte for coming up with the event name because it just sounds so lovely, doesn't it?

Now, the Arcane Exchange itself is a fairly straightforward "what it says on the tin situation"; it's Twisted Wonderland's version of a student exchange program.

For approximately three months a year (my friends & I are currently working off the idea that this begins very shortly after the end of Book 4's events), students from various arcane academies will host each other and participate in certain events meant to strengthen the bond between the schools without it necessarily having to be competitive. After all, one of the last events that happens before the students are sent back to their respective schools is the National Arcane Academy Culture Fair that mainly works as an expo/convention (aside from the SDC, but you know).

There's a fairly substantial number of students from each school that get selected to participate, and then those various groups are semi-randomly split up amongst the other academies. (i.e Night Raven will host only some of the students from the other academies. Meanwhile, the NRC students going abroad for the exchange will be separated among the other schools).

In the case of Night Raven specifically, all visiting students are distributed amongst the seven dorms in a shared learning experience 'like a great big sleepover'. This is met with mixed results most times, but nothing too crazy since there are enough empty beds based on the number of NRC students having gone off to the other academies.

Speaking of, lets get into the schools involved in the Arcane Exchange!

Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy are the obvious picks, but that's also a rather obvious recipe for disaster due to their long-established rivalry...if left on their own, at least. Hence the inclusion of other schools to act as a kind of buffer that actually tends to work due to the neutrality of the other two schools.

Noble Bell College does participate(probably the least since they seem to be the smallest school in both scope & population), and the group of myself, Cy, @ramshacklerumble, and @simons-twsted-children have even recently discussed an interesting debate on whether Noble Bell is co-ed. This is important due to the final participant of the Arcane Exchange.

Corlux Key Seminary(CKS), a paramilitary arcane institution of my own creation that will be discussed in more detail in a later post. Corlux is explicitly co-ed in both students and staff; the gender distribution is almost perfectly split down the middle if not outright in favor of the female-identifying population. Despite this progressiveness, however, the Arcane Exchange a bit of an interesting sticking point for CKS (& NBC to a certain extent). While the male students can be assigned to whatever institution they like, the female students of both schools are only ever exchanged with each other. In regard to any potential PR nightmare an incident occurring on campus could cause, this makes sense. Doesn't mean it's not a bit sexist though.

The Arcane Exchange is a fairly standard practice that has even fostered some grand shows of academic comradery, though there have been some....memorable moments over the years as well. For instance, the Arcane Exchange that happened the year before TWST canon starts was Not Fun for NRC as hosts because both the RSA & CKS kids were terrible. As in 'it was considered the 'trial by fire' for both Riddle as a freshman-year Housewarden & the OctoTrio as the staff of the newly-opened Mostro Lounge' kind of terrible. As such, none of the Housewardens are particularly excited when the meeting before the start of the canon-year's exchange approaches. And they're about to feel a lot more ill-at-ease when Crowley rather casually drops this little bombshell;

For the first time since the start of this most noble tradition, Night Raven College will be opening its doors to a selection of female students from Corlux as a kind of experiment of 'broadening horizons & relations' between the academies. If this particular Aracne Exchange proves to be successful (meaning nobody does anything to 'embarrass' NRC and/or CKS), then there's the chance of expanding the openings for female students to participate at RSA's end of the Exchange as well as Noble Bell being able to similarly 'branch out' as it were.

Now that begs the question; is Crowley really about to let a relatively small group of girls onto an all-boys campus & just have them shack-up in the dorms? "NO! Absolutely not; I would never do anything so foolish and dangerous to those promising young pupils! As a matter of fact, I have arranged for all of the female participants to have accommodations all to themselves for their comfort and safety. Oh how generous I am; it's almost unnerving!" Now if only Crowley had thought to mention to the host of those accommodations that they're about to find themselves with a LOT more roommates than the usual weasel.

Apologies to one Gia Yugo...

NOT! This is going to be fun~ >:)

Prompt 15 with Gia, please? 😁

15. What is a secret not many characters know about your OC?

as a rule, gia doesn’t much talk about themself.

it’s not that they’re particularly secretive, it’s just between being the type often not to speak unless spoken to and being someone who lives in the moment— gia just doesn’t volunteer any past information about themself unless it happens to be relevant to whatever is going on.

so it’s not until sometime during their second year in nrc that they talk a little about their life as a ranch hand.

they are originally from california, but due to a…let’s say ‘fresh prince of bel air-like’ moment, they were sent off to live with their aunt in arkansas as a consequence of their actions…aaaaaaand to escape some legal heat they got into.

gia had been up to shenanigans since before stepping foot in twisted wonderland.

more asks or wanna get some yourself? here!
