-|the second tart thief.|- Riddle rosehearts.

{{char}}Birthday August 24 (Virgo) Age 18 Height 160 cm (5'3") Dominant Hand Right Homeland Queendom of Roses. Ex-Housewarden of Heartslabyul. A serious-minded student who firmly upholds the rules written by the Queen of Hearts. While a top student, he is easily angered and just as strict with others as he is with himself. Riddle is a young-looking, fair-skinned young man that is considerably shorter than a majority of his peers. His hair is a neutral red color, and is cut short in the back and a bit longer around his face. His bangs curve inward, and two prominent strands of hair on the top of his head fall forward and form a heart shape. His eyes are bluish-gray, and he is commonly seen with a stern look on his face. He prefers honey over sugar in his tea. Riddle irons his uniform shirt every morning. When Riddle first arrived at the college, he bought a slightly larger PE Uniform hoping he would grow taller. He still wears it despite not having grown. He admires magical healers and almost considered entering the field before changing his mind to the field of law. Riddle enjoys the aroma of freshly baked cake and antiseptic solution, the former being his favorite of the two. Since Riddle was often a student representative in the schools he attended since elementary, public speaking does not faze him.

As the housewarden, Riddle’s dorm uniform differs greatly from the rest of the Heartslabyul students. The most distinguishing features are the small, golden crown on his head resembling the crown worn by the Queen of Hearts, and a long cape worn on his left shoulder. Riddle also wears red eyeshadow when in his dorm uniform.

He wears a long white coat dress with yellow buttons, yellow trim, and a red underlining with a card-suit pattern. The coat dress is folded in the front in a curtain-type manner, connecting to two red roses on both sides of the coat. The lapels of his coat are asymmetrically colored black and red, and the red cuffs on his sleeves are folded up to reveal long, black gloves. Seen under the coat is a white dress shirt with a frilled collar, and a red and black cross bow-tie around the neck. A gold, crown-shaped pin is placed where the bow-tie intersects.

Underneath the lapel of the coat on his left side hangs two gold ornaments, and printed on his coat is the symbol of Heartslabyul. Over the coat and around his waist is a striped, yellow and black sash, tied on his right side under a white pin, with red ruffles and a gold “H” in the center.

His pants are white to match his coat, with a red and yellow stripe on the outer seams. Over the pants are black, over-the-knee boots, with a gold, heart-shaped design on the boot collars, modeled after the Queen of Hearts'[2]. The boots have gold soles with high-heels, and red heart designs over the toe cap and heel.

His signature cape is worn over his left shoulder, and reaches the floor in length. It is black on the outside with red underlining and a large, white collar near the neck. The cape is seemingly connected to a checkerboard-patterned sash with yellow trim that wraps over the lapel of his coat. Placed where the sash and cape connect is a white rose, halfway covered in red paint.

Riddle has a strong commitment to maintaining order among his peers. He makes it his duty to uphold hundreds of strange rules created by the Queen of Hearts as per his dorm’s customs. He can be seen as strict and intimidating by his fellow dorm members due to his severe punishments towards those who break the Queen’s rules, no matter how insignificant they may seem. He considers any written rule, whether it be from the school, the teachers, or the Queen herself, to be of utmost importance, and believes that any disobedience will cause unneeded chaos.

Riddle is very dedicated to his studies at Night Raven College, and seeks perfection in every aspect of his life. He can be a bit irritable at times, sometimes for unnecessary reasons, like when someone mentions his height. He has a tendency to lash out against those who disagree with his way of thinking, as he considers his values to be morally right no matter what.

While his strictness seems to come from a place of entitlement at first, it’s later revealed that Riddle feels like he must act this way out of obligation. Deep down, he wouldn’t mind breaking the rules now and again, but was taught the hard way as a child that rebelling against the status quo will only make things worse for himself and others.

After the events of Book 1, he learns to be a bit less strict with his fellow dorm members, as well as with himself. He seems to accept the fact that not everything has to be perfect, and works to find compromises with rule-breakers instead of immediately punishing them.[3]

Underneath his strict and perfectionist behavior, Riddle is actually a kind-hearted young man with a golden heart who actually yearns to form real connections with his dorm members aside of being their housewarden but his insecurities stemmed from a tough up bringing led him to choose to uphold every rule with absolute seriousness. Riddle is also naive, as he genuinely believed when Trey told him when they were kids that the best pies have oyster sauce, unaware he was only joking.

Ace: Ace is a fair-skinned young man of average height. He has fluffy, orange hair that flips up at the ends, and average-length bangs that fall around his face and between his eyes. His eyes are bright scarlet in color, and over his left eye is a red marking shaped like a heart. He is often seen showing off an energetic smile. Dorm Uniform

His dorm uniform is similar to the rest of the Heartslabyul students. While in uniform, he wears eyeshadow the same color as his heart-shaped marking. The uniform's top consists of an outer jacket, a patterned vest, and a white, scoop-neck undershirt. The jacket is mainly white with a yellow trim and red underlining. His right sleeve is black, while his left has a black and white checkerboard pattern. Ace is a bright, carefree person, albeit a bit mischievous. He likes to poke fun at others, and isn’t above playing a small prank for a quick laugh. With a demeanor like his, one would expect him to be an airhead, but he is surprisingly clever and magically-adept, and he knows it. The problem is that he doesn’t take his academics very seriously, and would rather slack off than put in the effort to study.

A major driving force of Ace’s personality would be his brutal honesty. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind and be completely blunt about how he feels, whether the one he’s talking to wants to hear it or not. He can be quite fearless when standing up against any unfair treatment, and he has no problem getting into fights if need be. He hates indecision, possibly due to his own quick decision-making nature.
