Prompt 22: Thin Ice Characters: Che'nya, Riddle, Trey -------------------------------------------- "Are you sure the ice is thick enough Che'nya?" Riddle was rather timid. While the thought of walking across the lake sounded...kind of? nice, he had no basis as to how thick the ice should be if it was going to sustain their weight. Che'nya's head bobbed over his shoulder, grinning. "Course it is! Wouldn't want nya fallin' in meow would we? 'Sides, I was just out here the other day. Everything's fiiiiine." Trey just shook his head a bit and sighed, a cocky smile on his face as he pushed up his glasses. "If you're so confident Che'nya, you should let us see the rest of you so you can walk out onto the ice."
Che'nya's face dropped just for a moment, but Riddle missed it as he was busy trying to get a website pulled up to check if this lake was recommended for skating- or how to test if a body of water was thick enough to walk across. "Don'tchya trust me Trey? After all this time we've known each other?" Che'nya attempted to pull the biggest begging eyes he could muster, only to squawk indignantly when Trey gently shoved his face away. "For most things, yes. But as of right now? Absolutely not." Riddle wordlessly started searching for something along the edge of the lake, leaving the two older boys to bicker. "BETREYAL! JAIL, JAIL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS FOR YOUUUUU" Che'nya yowled as Trey waited for Riddle's back to be turned to give Che'nya a light shove onto the ice. It forced Che'nya to come into full visibility, gangly limbs struggling to find balance before succeeding, standing frozen in place on the shallowest bit of the lake trying to process the fact he had not fallen. "Oh you're fine, see? The ice is holding your weight just fine." Trey gave him a shit eating smile that Che'nya took as a challenge. The cat placed his hands behind his head and shrugged nonchalantly as he started to walk around a bit on the ice. His ear flicked a bit, trying to hide the fact he could very clearly hear the ice crackling underneath him, but it was too quiet for Trey and Riddle. "See? It's all good. Nyathing to worry about! Trey, why don'tchya come on out here? If it can hold me it can hold you!" Trey shook his head. "First of all, I'm heavier than you, secondly, I think Riddle is conducting his own test to make sure the ice can hold all three of us, right?" Trey turned to Riddle, giving him a bit of a knowing smile as the redhead hefted a decently sized rock. "Yes, I am." Che'nya's eyes widened a bit at Riddle's shit eating grin as he hurled the rock at the ice he was standing on. Che'nya reacted in time to float, but his tail was not spared the exposure to the ice cold water flicking up and barely getting him wet. He yowled as if his entire body had just slipped into the water beneath him though, quickly returning to shore where his friends were laughing at him. He flicked his tail indignantly, but didn't get any water on Trey or Riddle. "You guys!!! What if I had fallen in??? You're so mean!" Che'nya whined, puffing out his tail and holding it to him a little bit. "What, did you not trust your cat-like reflexes?" "You were the one who said there was nothing to worry about." The boys spoke nearly at the same time, making Che'nya make a fake offended sound as the other two chuckled again. "Next time I'm shoving Trey onto the ice." "I'd like to see you try."

Heartslabyul
Riddle Rosehearts

Standard British Accent for sure
"Unbuhrthday pahty"
he's a crumpet eater what can i say
Trey Clover
Vietnamese idc
that is an east asian man like idk he just has the vibes
but if he were to have like an accent I'm thinking a Yorkshire-y accent
Cater Diamond
he's a ginger so he's Irish /j
Also a British white boy
But not like Standard British accent
MLE London accent!!!!
Deuce Spade
hmm I'm having trouble with him ngl
Kinda leaning towards Argentinian for him
Latino king !!
Yeah now that i think about it Argentinian Deuce is real
But he's also from the Queendom of Roses so I think he's got a Cockney accent lol
Ace Trappola
Ginger so he's Irish /hj
Maybe not about the ginger part but like idk he's giving Irish
Specifically South Dublin
I'm thinking Korean-Irish I don't make the rules
Savanaclaw
Leona Kingscholar
Kenyan
Have you seen that one event card? I did a lil research and apparently it was based majorly on Kenyan clothing
So yeah that mf is Kenyan I don't make the rules
Ruggie Bucchi
BRAZILIAN.
sorry idc he's Brazilian
LATINO KING #2
See the thing about Brazil is that it's extremely diverse so like genetically he could be anything
But I'm thinking Indigenous/Lebanese/African mix mostly! (Brazil has an INSANE amount of Lebanese people bro)
If I had to name a specific state it would either be São Paulo (going back on the Lebanese thing, São Paulo has the largest Lebanese population out of all Brazilian states) or Minas Gerais
Jack Howl
Grrr this is hard because he isn't like based off an actual character yk so I don't have a point of reference
But then again I pulled Brazilian Ruggie out my ass (and also because I'm Brazilian and am biased)
He's from the Shaftlands, so I'm getting Hungarian vibes from him
Also works because grey wolves are found in mainly Central European areas
fuck it he's ethnically Brazilian too, Bahia
Brazilian mom and Hungarian dad
Mixed Indigenous/African/Hungarian (in that order)
They're all Latino. Every one of them.
Octavinelle
Azul Ashengrotto
"Azul" means blue in Spanish and Portuguese
I'm thinking he's Spanish and Italian
Ethpañol
(sorry i had to bring up the 'say 'th' instead of 's' dialect pattern in Spain Spanish)
Jade Leech
'Jade' as a word has its origins in Spanish
Moray eels are most commonly found in tropical, warm waters and coral reefs
"The green moray is found in the western Atlantic Ocean, from New Jersey to Bermuda, and the northern Gulf of Mexico southward to Brazil" - Google
BRAZIL MENTIONED
Yeah he's Puerto Rican/Brazilian
LMFAO what if i make the Leech twins Floridians
OK OK he's Puerto Rican/Brazilian but him and Floyd are Florida residents
Floyd Leech
As mentioned before he's also Puerto Rican/Brazilian
90% of all Florida Man headlines are because of him
Bilingual and randomly breaks into Portuñol to fuck with Azul
"Me gusta comer pedras e tambem tenho vontade de morder a la gente, mano"
Puerto Rican mom and Brazilian dad
Glares at Azul whenever he hears "Ethpaña" instead of "España"
'speaks Spanish with a th' Azul vs. 'no S at the end of words' Floyd
Scarabia
Kalim Al-Asim
Okay so I'm referencing the Qasr Sultan card to build my hc
I'm mainly looking at his turban, lots of anthropologists think those originated in Ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) but of course cultural dispersion is a thing and they are also commonly found in Indian records of rulers
But the word 'Sultan' is Arabic, not Persian
There's a description about the Scalding Sands that says "tea is considered a customary with every meal"
Considering this tradition and the clothing items, I'm led to believe he is Arab-- but that's a pretty big generalization considering "Arab" is a broad term for people living in a specific part of the Middle East
Therefore he's Omani i think!
The climate matches the description of the Scalding Sands (dry and arid, subtropical); tea is also their national beverage and from my understanding is widely served with meals
Jamil Viper
Pakistani/Bangladesh/Omani mix
Nationality is Omani (would have been born there if we follow the canon)
Oman has a majority Arab population but it also has a large South Asian population
Idk how to describe it he just has Pakistan/Bangladesh vibes
Pomefiore
Vil Schoenheit
Take one look at that last name and tell me he isn't German
Definitely also speaks French
Maybe he's German/French, German dad and French mom
The first film screening, fun fact, was in Berlin in 1894, but the first commercial public screening was in Paris 1895!
Kinda fits with his movie star status
Slays the house boots down
Rook Hunt
South African and French
I can't with his fuckass bob I'm sorry
Ethnically cooked by his barber
Generationally chopped
Lord Farquad ass
Dora the explorer ass
Edna mode ass
PLEASE let him grow out his hair again IM BEGGING YOU
Cute freckles tho :3
Epel Felmier
My boy Apple Farmer is Finnish
Harveston is apparently based on Finnish architecture so like
I'm thinking there's some German in there too, because "Felmier" is the German word for farmer
CORRECTION from someone who reblogged (ty pookie for letting me know) Felmier probably comes from the German surname Feldmier which is the job title (and a German surname) for someone who manages open fields for nobility (the actual word for farmer in German is Bauer)
Thank you reblogger I repent for my mistake
so manly
Ignihyde
Idia Shroud
Greek are we even debating this?
The guy based on the Greek god Hades? Hmm he's gotta be from Russia
No bro
Greek man from Macedonia
The irl Mount Olympus is located on the border between Macedonia and Thessaly so I figured if he's gonna be based an Olympian it would be only fair to place him around that area
Ortho Shroud
Macedonian like Idia!
Silly little guy
He's my baby
Little Greek dude
Diasomnia
Malleus Draconia
Hmm okay so I'm thinking Chinese/French
Sleeping Beauty is set in France and Briar Valley does seem to have European architecture
old French architecture also does incorporate lots of gargoyles, and we all know he's a gargoyle fiend
And there are some vignette lines that hint at Chinese influences/heritage such as in his Halloween card
I think ethnically/racially Chinese but nationality-wise he's French
Lillia Vanrouge
The "van-" prefix in surnames can be traced back to the Netherlands
Like Vincent Van Gogh
Lilia as a name has Spanish origins
I think he's Dutch/Spanish mix
He also gives me Japanese vibes so let's also add that
Sebek Zigvolt
Sebek as a name is a version of Sobek, an Egyptian crocodile deity
Since his mom is a fae from Briar Valley, I'm thinking 50% Egyptian (mom) and 50% French (dad)
but 100% unable to stfu why is he always yelling bro
I love him tho
Silver Vanrouge
Swedish
Don't ask me why
I just look at him and see Swedish
One more white boy to add to my collection
