she found a flower for you!
Aria Whitecourt and Yumi
Backstory of current timeline, (T3)
Content warning: mentions someone almost getting hit by a car.
Aria was born in the Queendom of Roses, and her childhood was spent in clocktown. She lived alone with just her mother, and they had relatives living nearby. She lived a block away from Deuce.
Ms. Whitecourt and Ms. Spade used to be coworkers for a bit before Aria's mom got another job nearby, but they still met up and had their kids play together as friends. So, Aria and Deuce were childhood friends. Aria is 2 years older than Deuce.
Sometime between ages 6-10 for Aria. With both Yumi and Deuce 2 years younger than her, at the White Rabbit festival. Yumi was running after a ball she dropped and almost got run over by a car. Aria managed to grab Yumi and teleported them away to safety. However, the place they found themselves in was another world, one without magic.
Yumi just met Aria and was playing catch with Aria and Deuce right before the two of them both ended up in the magic less world unable to teleport back. Yumi teleported on instinct and upon arrival her magic was being suppress in this new world they found themselves at.
Yumi is the same age as Deuce or a year younger than him.
She doesn't remember anything from before ending up in the magic less world as a child. So she has no memories of Twisted wonderland and if she has any it be vague and she thinks they were just fever dreams and denies them possibly being real.
Yumi doesn't believe in Arias stories of twisted wonderland. They are clearly just young Aria's exaggerated tall tales that Aria just won't move on from. There's no way she or Aria came from another world, let alone one with magic.
So both Yumi and Aria end up as orphans in the magic less world and stayed at the same orphanage during their childhood.
Yumi got adopted first by a kind loving family and has siblings (haven't decided fully on specifics for them, like are they older or younger than Yumi? and how many are there?).
Aria gets adopted year(s) later than Yumi by a sweet elderly couple who lives in the same neighborhood as Yumi. So, Aria & Yumi reunite as neighbors and even attended the same school tho Aria is a upperclassman to Yumi at the school they attend.
They either became friends before Yumi was adopted back at the orphanage or shortly after the two reunited.
Now a year or few months prior to ending back up on twisted wonderland again. The grandparents that are raising Aria passed away and Yumi's family has adopted her. Though Aria is still mourning and isn't feeling comfortable living with Yumi's family she feels like a burden and most importantly feels out of place and like she doesn't belong.
Basically Aria is still probably in the depression state of mourning over the elderly couple who took care of her not that long ago in her eyes.
For waking up at NRC. Yumi and Aria wakeup during Ace & Deuce's entrance ceremony like in twisted wonderland game. However, Deuce won't be able to recognize Aria. She has changed enough appearance wise that it's reasonable to not recognize her at first glance, it was over 5 years ago.
Now Aria and Yumi are both related to a Twisted wonderland character like in the twisted wonderland return home au's I've read and enjoyed immensely. However, i will not be revealing who they are related to you in this post.
Want to see the backstory to the other timelines?
Timeline 1, Timeline 2
I just remembered a problem I'm facing with my twisted wonderland fanfiction.
Thankfully it's something I can put off addressing for now but this issue will catch up with me eventually.
The issue: nicknames
Specifically what would Rook and Floyd nickname my OCS.
Thankfully for Yuzu and Yumi I can just use Trickster and Shrimpy.
However I still have no idea what they would call Sian or Aria as a nickname.
People have written a lot of touchy-feely pieces on this subject but I thought I’d get right to the heart of the matter
I already edited this in the end of my Sian & Yuzu background post just now.
I'm probably gonna rewatch TinkerBell and the lost treasure. I wanna add that festival/event as something that is celebrated at Sian's hometown.
I remember this Tinkerbell movie and thought it would be a cute way to include Sian & Yuzu having unique holidays/festivities from their world.
I dunno if I'll add anymore specific festivals or holiday events for Sian's world. They will still be generic seasonal festivals and a harvest festival in their world.
Birthdays, mothers day, and father's day, will also exist in Sian's world.
Rebloging this as I have recently edited and updated a few stuff on the bio including adding my drawing of Yumi Saito.
Timeline 3 bio
Name: Yumi Saito
Pronouns: she/he/they
Appearance: androgenous,black short hair (partially dyed black), brown Almond eyes.
Will be mistaken as biologically male from many in twisted wonderland during books 1 & 2. Yumi is AFAB. Yumi doesn't care what gender others see/identity her as and is cassgender.
Dorm affiliation: Ramshackle, would totally be sorted into Pomfiore if she had lots of magic potential like NRC students.

Age: 16
Height: 165cms (5"4)
Is between Riddle and Kalim's height.
Dominant hand: right handed
Homeland: Queendom of Roses, somewhere in the U.S. haven't decided where specifically yet
Club: whatever grim picks, is unofficial member of Photography club.
Best subject: Alchemy

Other: Yumi is Crewel's niece.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yumi gives tough girl vibes. Is very persistent and stubborn. She is determined to reach her goal of returning back to the magic less world and reunite with her family there. This causes tension and drama between Crewel and Yumi. Since Crewel is against her leaving Twisted Wonderland again. He just got her back after all.
Content warning: mentions someone almost getting hit by a car. failed kidnapping attempt mentioned.
Aria is a Half-Fae with a large mana pool and great affinity for magic. Aria lives in the Queendom of Roses which has more human than beast folk, merman or Fae around. This isn't mentioned in game but for this story majority of the Clock Town living here didn't have a considerable amount of magic/mana pool.
Basically, Aria lived in a place not brimming full of Fae magic and no one with considerable mana pools/magic to properly teach Aria proper control of her own magic.
Normally this isn't an issue for most kids. Since majority of them can barely use or access their magic at such a young age. A good example of this is Deuce who could only summon Cauldrons before attending NRC. Aria had a huge mana pool and could access it on instinct occasionally since she was 4 years old. Poor Ms. Whitecourt probably made raising Aria more stressful than she expected.
For both timelines it turns out it was easier to use magic teleportation to end up in another world more so than trying to use magic to leave one that possess no magic.
Aria's mana pool was diminished and drained upon walking up in another world. Without the means to replenish her magic regardless of sleep since the world started to suppress her magic the longer, she remained in this unfamiliar world. Aria got officially stuck in another world unable to return immediately after arrival.
For timeline two Aria got spooked and startled. Her reflexes sending her to another world via teleportation.
With no clear destination in mind upon teleporting she ended up somewhere she shouldn't have a place that was more of a challenge to leave rather than arrive at. Aria wakes up in the magic less world stuck until Night Raven College managed to send her back to twisted wonderland.
I think I figured out and decided what exactly spooked/startled Aria to the point of teleporting to a magicless world in timeline 2. I want it to be intense since the one for timeline 3 was also a bit of a panic teleport moment. It feels right that Aria teleport reflex/instinct usually doesn't go to the extreme extent of going off world unless its she feels like her life is in mortal danger.
For Timeline 2 Aria almost gets kidnapped around 14 years old. The culprits being other Clock Town Delinquents that rival/enemies of Deuce who just started his delinquent phase.
Aria was headed home alone at night when she encountered Deuce's enemies who was goanna hold her hostage or just take her away to beat her up as an send a message to Deuce and his gang to not mess with them and to get off 'their turf'. However, Aria managed to free herself and runs away. unfortunately, a member showed up around the corner in front of her and spooked her. She teleports away on instinct before the guy in front of Aria could grab her.
Deuce has no idea what happened to Aria she just went missing. there are rumors that a rival gang might've taken her, but that's just one of many rumors regarding Aria's disappearance. I haven't decided or come up with other rumors for this so far.
It would just make more sense to me. Instead of leaving it as, yeah somehow despite getting surprised spooked occasionally. Somehow this one time when Aria was already like 14 years old managed to send her to another world and not any of the many previous times.
Though maybe I could say that she did end up in other world before and the difference was this is the first time showing up in one that's magic less. The first time she couldn't just rest up and teleport back to Twisted wonderland on her own or with help from a magical resident of this other world.
For current timeline/timeline three. During their childhood, Aria and Deuce were playing around outside around the white rabbit festival hedges. Yumi approaches them and asked to play with them and even has a ball to play with. Aria and Deuce let her join them as they decided to toss the ball around between the 3 of them, changing who they threw the ball at next every so often. Eventually Yumi fails to catch the ball, and it rolls off. Yumi runs to get the ball with Aria close behind. Yumi runs into the street with a car approaching. Aria panics and manages to grab Yumi and on instinct teleports away to safety. The only problem left is they appear to be unable to return to twisted wonderland and is now separated from everyone else from Twisted wonderland.
Like to make a mention to when this happened to me and is still ongoing for over 6 months now.
@thelazyhermits
Found their series "A twisted future" by LazyRainDancer on Ao3 while looking for Sebek Zigvolt one shots, many months ago.
First oneshot I found was actually "Finding solace (in your arms)", didn't realize it was a series until after I finished reading that one shot. I couldn't stop reading the second I started it.
Then finally noticed it was a part of a series. I got excited and saw SO MUCH Content. I squealed as I started the binge reading the content from the beginning of the series from then on, and was reading it on and off for months.
I have already caught up to the current ongoing content weeks/month ago, still on cloud nine enjoying it still.
It is my favorite twisted wonderland fanfic ever since I found it
Imagine you're opening AO3 and search for a fic. Imagine you're finding one that fits all your criterias. Imagine it has the perfect length. Imagine getting lost in the story and feeling almost high when it's over. Imagine looking up the author and they have written. so. many. more. fics. exactly. like. that. Imagine.
So as I can see I pulled out my light tracer box to redraw my Aria but with her eye patch on this time.
So yeah reposting this since I edited and added my drawing of Aria into this bio. post.
The eye patch is in the design of a white rose being painted red. It's supposed to match and resemble the rose brooches on the Heartslabyul dorm uniforms.
No red paint was used in making of this eypatch tho.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aria give Kuudere vibes. They seem cold, quiet, serious, and unapproachable at first but is an absolute sweetheart once u get to know her. She is socially awkward on expressing her emotions and just comes off as cool and indifferent. She shows her love through acts of service. Due to failing at forming friendships in the past so much she leans on Yumi for help a lot regarding socializing and making new friends when they first end up at NRC.

Yuzu is a bit shy at first but once she gets comfortable and warms up to people, she is a curious explorative child. unlike her fellow classmates is a bit more genuinely kind, sweet, and sometimes help without expecting something in return. She is also very gullible and naive. Thankfully she's usually not found on her own. She us usually with at least Grim or Sian there to make sure others don't take advantage of her kind nature. Yuzu also has a playful streak which increases around Ace and/or ortho who encourages it. Yuzu can be a little brat/menace when she wants to.
