Aria Whitecourt backstory
Timeline 2
Spoiler warning for Book 6 content of Twisted wonderland under the read more cut.
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.
π (differences in timeline start here)
Around 13-14 years old Aria accidently uses her teleportation magic on instinct from getting spooked/startled by something or someone and ended up in another world, one without magic. This occurs right before or at the beginning of Deuce's delinquent phase.
Upon waking up in the magic less world she quickly realizes she is unable to teleport back to Twisted wonderland. Leading to her getting sent to the nearest orphanage lost and stuck in this unfamiliar world until the NRC carriage comes for her years later.
It doesn't take long before Aria gets adopted by a sweet elderly couple who encourages Aria to make friends and get outside the house. Aria usually prefers to stay by them and help them out with chores and tends to the garden.
Two years later Aria ends up at NRC at age 16. She wakes up at NRC during Trey and Cater's entrance ceremony, no Grim fiasco occurs during said ceremony. During this timeline Aria is a fellow Junior alongside Trey and Cater.
Time to reveal who Aria is related to in the twst cast.
Lilia had a fling/stated temporary relationship with Ms. Whitecourt for the duration of his vacation trip at the Queendom of Roses prior to adopting Silver. Lilia left the area before Ms Whitecourt found out she was pregnant.
I can see Lilia being vague and not giving much info about himself to Aria's mother, since he wasn't planning to interact with them or visit them again after his vacation/trip ends.
I think Lilia finds out Aria is his biological daughter he never knew he had, mid to end of his freshmen year with Malleus. However, I can also see Lilia not informing Aria of his revelation and keeping her in the dark about this whole thing, continuing to hanging out with her, until eventually Aria finds out herself during the middle of her second year at NRC about Lilia being her biological father who never knew her mom was pregnant before he left the Queendom of Roses.
In this timeline Aria gets a better idea what caused the overblot apocalypse in timeline 1 and is even successful in stopping the Styx overblot apocalypse. Aria did bump into Rook and followed him to Island of Woe with Epel.
Aria and Grim don't really cross paths in this timeline. Grim does cause chaos during Ace's Entrance ceremony like in the game, they just chased another poor NRC student (a random npc probably?). Grim also could've crossed paths with Aria briefly right after Riddles overblot. Grim keeps infiltrating into NRC and hid in Heartslabyul during Riddle's overblot and ate the overblot stone. Grim does the same for all the other overblots and probably even uses Ramshackle as his secret hideout.
Anyways in this timeline Grim does overblot near the end of Aria's 3rd year at NRC. This overblot causes Aria to use her unique magic yet again and rewrites the timeline once more
This is timeline 2 where Aria got to be at NRC at age 16 and have more time to bond with the 2nd and 3rd years from timeline 3. Hell Aria, even befriended Malleus before his 3rd year at NRC and was part of his club. the strong trust and comfortability with each other is still present in timeline 3 However Malleus won't remember their friendship from this timeline. Technically Aria won't remember either, but she has the ability to remember past timelines at least.
Theres also cute bonding between 3rd year Aria and Freshmen Deuce in this timeline. As Deuce looks up to her and is trying to be a better person for both Aria and his mother.

Timeline 1, Timeline 3
This fanfic Series idea/intro, Aria OC bio, Ace pov, Deuce pov,
In which Aria is missing from the dorm one night and a fellow Heartslabyul student finds out she has disappeared and might be in trouble.
Trey: was up late at night heading to the kitchen to stress bake. However on his way to the kitchen he hears Aria's shout of "let me go!". He was able to make out the words and distinguish the feelings behind her words to a point.
Might have Trey try to handle the situation on his own.
Cater: is doomscrolling at night after failing to fall asleep multiple times. From his dorm room Cater hears Aria's shout and decided might as well go and investigate.
Hopefully Cater will have an easier time falling asleep after seeing and possibly handling whatever he overheard was. After a while of fruitless searching for Aria/answers to her disappearance. Cater might go and get Trey involved if he's worried or unable to convince himself that Aria is fine and will be back sometime tomorrow.
Riddle: Probably went downstairs in middle of night for similar reasons to catching Ace eating his tarts in book 1. Might've caught someone else breaking the rules and then heard Aria's shout.
Though if he's the one that knocked on Aria's door maybe it would be stern knocks instead of hesitant ones or just did polite knocks?
Riddle doesn't think Aria's disappearance is due to intruders, NRC has stuff in place to prevent/stop them from making it to the dorm rooms. Now Riddle might think other Heartslabyul rule breakers are dragging Aria to join them on heading out to party in the town irresponsibility.
Riddle will either: go back to bed and have a chat with Aria later the next day asking about her disappearance and shout last night, or Riddle will be waiting patiently for the Aria's return. Expecting to see a group of Heartslabyul rule breakers with her to collar upon arriving back to Heartslabyul.
I had realized I did not want to write out all 5 different Heartslabyul scenarios in novel form. So I have summarised these 3 pov versions here as headcanons.
I will not give conclusions yet to this series for any/all povs. I will be more likely to give pov endings in this series after the nightmare series is finished (if or when I finish it). This series and my "The nightmare" series are connected after all.

I know they're holding gifts they received on their Union Birthday buuuutππππ
That's our gifts for Valentine's isn't itππ
Also Sebek why did you take your jacket off
Yup take them off kings flex those muscles
Okay I'm absolutely raging and seething right now for a moment before crawling into sadness and despair.
I was typing a draft for so long and occasionally saved but then accidentally somehow lost the whole draft when I pressed saved once more.
So much writing just gone and I suck at remembering stuff. I dunno what I wrote for sure. I got a generalized idea but I loved what I had so much but now im forced to start again by scratch.
Maybe I need to take a break, but I was on a roll and I might lose this streak if I take the break. Ugh.
Y'know what this is why I probably have inspiration music for my OCS usually.
I'll take a break and when I'm ready, I'll listen to the music that should fire me back up into rewriting the draft I lost.
Hopefully that'll work.
So i may or may not have written, the prologue before NRC orientation months ago. I picked it back up days ago and have been rewriting it and fixing up this whole time in my drafts. So yeah i dunno how confident i am in it but ill post it.
IM SO SCARED and nervous i feel like im being too reckless today with how much im posting.
Phew what a day. i really was on a role last night and this morning. I had fun creating stuff related to Aria and her dreams/nightmares.
i definitely am having the opposite of a writer's block lately which is why the posts have been frequent the last few days.
hope you guys enjoy it! <3
so far i have 3 more fanfic posts later for ya today/tonight.
The easiest way to find Sebek is to walk around the Night Raven campus, going "where's my Sebek?"
It elicits odd stares and plenty of snickers from the other students, but it gets the job done. You'll know when he's nearby. After repeating this phrase enough times and in multiple places around campus, you'll hear a familiar thundering cry.
"I am not your Sebek!"
The shout is eventually followed by the man himself. You can tell what direction he's in by the heavy stomps, thudding against the ground almost as loud as his voice. His frown is as sharp as his furrowed brows. The slight tinge of embarrassment colors his face.
"Human! How dare you..."
The familiar face makes you smile with joy. "There you are! There's my Sebek."
He falters. It's clear he has so much to say, but can't find the right words to get out first. They pile up in his mouth while he stammers. You fear you may have traumatized him until the verbal barrage bursts out like a dam.
"How dare you! You know I serve none other than the great heir to Briar Valley. To even imply that I am yours? A mere human's? Inconceivable! Your absurdity knows no bounds!"
He sounds as energetic as ever. You decide to interrupt the angry monologue before he really gets going.
"Sebek, I wanted to know if we're still having lunch together."
"To insult the very essence of my being! As if you..."
It takes a hot second for your inquiry to reach his ears, but when he catches it, the rambling drifts off. He grows oddly quiet. He balls his hands into fists and unclenches them several times in quick succession, testing the limits of his uniform gloves. This would already have delved into a physical fight if you were any other student.
Despite your inane actions, you're practically harmless. Any great guard should easily be able to ignore petty taunts. It's best to consider this a test. Sebek clears his throat.
"Of course we are. You didn't have to come find me just for that. I always keep my word." The redness of his ear tips peeking out from under his hair remind you of a Christmas tree.
"Great! Can't wait."
You stick out your hand for a parting high five. Sebek subverts expectations by grabbing your palm. His gloves are warm and a little sweaty after rushing to find you, and his grip is anything but soft in a boyish display of dominance.
"Do not do this again," he says. He's stern, but after that warning his voice drops to a normal level and he sounds almost gentle. "Just... text me, like a normal person. You have my number."
A fanfiction one shot where Aria and Silver meet in a dream.
Warning: book 7 spoilers for EN.
A lone girl sat in a large field of flowers the Rose castle can be seen in the distance not to far off.
The girl quietly hummed to herself as she makes a crown of flowers using some in the field she sat in.
Approaching footsteps could be heard behind her.
"I know your there Silver" she said.
Silver the boy who was behind her flinched back a little, his eyes going wide. He didn't expect the girl to accurately tell who he was with her back facing him.
"I'm amazed you knew who I was without looking back. Your skills are impressive" Silver replied.
"It's not that impressive really, if this was the waking world I'd have no idea who you were from ur footsteps approaching me alone" Aria, the girl responded.
"Your lucid dreaming?" Silver asked
"Partially, I'm aware I'm dreaming. I'm also aware your not a part of my dream and are just visiting mine. However I'm not able to fully control the dream only alter my appearance and my role in this dream along with a few other things" Aria explained
She then patted the spot next to her.
"Come sit with me unless your planning to leave this dream for another" Aria offered.
Silver hesitates briefly before ultimately deciding to sit beside her.
Silver eyes wide. Upon hearing the familiar voice in the distance fast approaching.
"Oy Aria! Oy!..." Mumbles "where could that blasted girl be now?"
Silver gets up and grabs his sword. Aria immediately pulls the hand away from his weapon
"Don't"
Silver looks back at her questioningly. While the figure General Lilia Vanrouge is walking up to them only 10 feet away.
"There you are Melanor was looking for you and started making a fuss when she couldn't find you" Vanrouge stated.
Then he tensed upon closer examination of the boy next to Aria. Suddenly Silver was pinned against a nearby Tree Vanrouges mage arm against his neck.
"What is he doing here?" Vanrouges hissed venom dripping from his voice.
"Stand down General, this man here means me no harm" Aria stated. He eyes never straying away from the flower crown she was making in her lap.
Vanrouge lowers his weapon and takes a step back and turns around to stare at Aria.
"You'd be a fool to let down your guard so easily Ari" Vanrouge stated.
Aria hummed in response and turned to look into Lilia Vanrouges eyes her expression unreadable.
"Are you saying I shouldn't give my own brother the benefit of a doubt just for merely being not of full Fae blood?" Aria confronted crossing her arms and looking directly at Lilia upset.
Lilia Vanrouge's eyes widen in response.
"You couldn't mean to say this boy is related to you surely" he insisted.
"Are you calling me a liar? No I meant what I said this boy is family and he decided to hangout with me during my day off. Now leave us be I'll return to the castle later. Tell Melanor I'm busy attending to family matters if you must"
Aria replying
Lilia groans and signs before relenting on arguing with Aria further.
"Melanor will be upset but I will inform you that your busy spending your free time with family" Lilia replied.
"thank you Vanrouge, you may leave us be now" Aria replied.
Lilia Vanrouge started to leave but places a hand on Silver's shoulder.
"Any harm comes to her, and you won't be just tasting my blade boy" he warned in a low voice before disappearing with other red sparkles remaining before they to faded away.
"What job were the two of you discussing about?" Silver inquired about.
"ah that"
Aria then proceeded to move hair behind one of her eyes revealing pointy Fae ears.
"How i could've sworn-"
"there are fake"
"What?"
Aria sighed "were in a dream remember, you are correct my ears are not pointy in the waking world. However, in this dream I'm currently a pure blood Bat Fae version of myself rather than the Half Fae that I am in reality" She explained
"oh"
"Right now, I'm currently the hand maiden or lady of waiting that attends to Princess Malanor Draconia and it's my day off but that doesn't really matter considering this is all a dream." Aria elaborated further.
Aria then gets up from her spot in the field of flowers and approaches silver. Then she casts magic as she floats and places the finished flower crown on his head before gently landing back on the ground.
"It looks good on you"
Silver blinks and places a hand on the flower crown that now adorn his head.
"It seems you have a lot of questions on your mind feel free to ask I don't mind" Aria encouraged.
"I- yes I do have questions"
Aria waited staring back up at him.
"How come your dreaming of Lilia as a war general, what's your relation to him?"
"ah that, I know what I know because I remember a past that never was, . . . a past that I miss but wouldn't would sacrifice again for a chance at a brighter future one not plagued with overblots destroying all lives in Twisted Wonderland"
Silver just continued to stare at her his confusion only growing. Unsure what to make of the girls words.
Aria glanced back at Silver after sitting down working on another flower crown.
"In the past that never was I was a student in NRC like now, however in that past I was the same year as Malleus and Lilia rather than being in the same year as Sebek." Aria explained
"Did Lilia tell you of his days as a general during this?" Silver asked
Aria frowned "not at first it took a while, but he did eventually tell me, and I'm beyond grateful to have been informed of his past before that one night"
Silver was about to open his mouth to ask but Aria hold her hand up to tell him to keep quiet.
"I will not elaborate on the matter further" she stated.
"If you really knew Fa- Lilia in this past, how about me?" Silver asked unsure if he wanted the answer to this question that weighed on his mind.
The girl sighed "it be stranger if I didn't but yes, I do recall spending time with you in the past that no longer exists"
Silver held his breathe before speaking up once more.
"We're we friends?" He asked.
The girl just hummed in response before speaking up once more.
"I recall having to text Lilia informing him on your whereabouts whenever I caught you sleeping on school grounds but only the times when I failed to wake you up"
"I see" silver responded deciding to let his question go unanswered. Maybe it was better that way. He wouldn't know how to feel if he heard they weren't on the best of terms in a past he couldn't recall assuming she was telling the truth or at the least fully believed in the tales she was telling him just now.
Silver sat back down beside her. Asking for more tales of her past at NRC specifically the ones where he was a 3rd year like father unlike the reality they lived in currently outside of the dream.
It was strange hearing her talk about events that did occur the last 2 years at NRC like she really was there instead of being a Freshmen at Night Raven College she currently was.
However, it wasn't unpleasant just strange for some of her tales felt real or at least somewhat believable.
