Riddle Rosehearts

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. 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'. 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. However, he still realizes his mistake and gradually tries to improve, because it is not always necessary to follow the rules in this world. Over time, he becomes more forgiving and gentle. Riddle was born and raised in the Queendom of Roses. His parents are magic doctors, but his mother seems to be more well-known. The whereabouts of his father is currently unknown. However, it's implied that his parents don’t get along. Riddle's mother raised him and taught him from a very young age to be a powerful magic user. She controlled every aspect of Riddle's life; clothing, diet, who Riddle can be friends with, etc. She especially put emphasis on Riddle's studying schedule, reminding him multiple times that studies are the most important thing to do and that playing is a pointless activity.

Because of this, Riddle spent most of his childhood alone and spent with studying. But one day, he saw Trey and Che'nya outside of his house, who asked Riddle what is he doing. Riddle told the boys that he's studying as his mother told him. Trey and Che'nya invites Riddle to play together outside, with the hesitant Riddle initially refusing the offer, but after some convincing, he agrees to play with them. Riddle states that playing as a child with Trey and Che'nya together was a really fun experience, and so he would sneak out of his study time unbeknownst to his mother and play with Trey and Che'nya.

On another occasion, while Riddle was playing together with Trey and Che'nya, Riddle stated that he's never eaten strawberry tarts before and doesn't know the taste of them, as sweets are prohibited by his mother, much to the surprise of his friends. Trey and Che'nya wanted Riddle to try his first tart, and the two then brought Riddle to Trey's popular family-owned bakery, though Riddle was reluctant about it at first. At the bakery, Riddle tasted the Strawberry Tart, and loved it. He ate until he lost track of time, in which he was found by his angry and upset mother, and was dragged back home.

Back in the house, Riddle's mother harshly scolded and reprimanded the distressed Riddle, who begged and cried to his mom to forgive him, but Riddle's mom didn't listen and thus made his studying time even more strict than it already is. In addition to the strictness of his schedule, both Trey and Che'nya were forbidden from ever interacting with Riddle and the two were to not step foot into Riddle's house. As time passed by, and Riddle spent his days doing nothing but studying and following his mother's orders, he adjusted to the harsh and strict life he has to live through. A year before the game takes place, Riddle Rosehearts was recruited to be a student in Night Raven College, and a week after he enrolled into the school, he became housewarden of Heartsabyul and has been fulfilling the role since then. Riddle's signature spell is called "Off with Your Head!" It causes a heart-shaped collar to lock around the target's neck, sealing away their magic until Riddle chooses to remove it. Although the spell is seemingly invincible, especially for inexperienced magicians, it can be countered by protective magic, or broken by a strong-enough target. Riddle became caretaker of Heartslabyul House just a week after he arrived at Night Raven College as a first-year. He enjoys doing crosswords. Riddle seems to be very self-conscious about his height; he immediately flares up when someone mentions his height or treats him differently because of it. His horse at the riding club is named Vorpal. In tests, Riddle chooses to answer questions from the beginning, rather than going through them and choosing the most convenient ones first. He prefers honey to sugar in his tea. Riddle irons his uniform shirt every morning. When Riddle first arrived at college, he bought himself a slightly larger gym uniform, hoping that he would grow taller. He still wears it, despite not having grown taller. He admires mage healers and even considered going into the field before changing his mind and choosing law. Riddle enjoys the aroma of freshly baked pie and antiseptic solution, the former being his favorite. Since Riddle has often been a student representative at the schools he has attended since elementary school, public speaking does not bother him. It is implied that Riddle is two years younger than Trey.

Relationships: MC: After Riddle's Overblot incident, he apologizes to his dormmates and the MC for his actions, and their relationship seems to have improved. Riddle welcomes the MC (and Grim) to the Heartslabyul unbirthday parties, despite them not being members of the dorm, which Chenya also points out. In Riddle's lines, he states that the MC, unlike the other students, doesn't seem to be afraid of him at all, and also adds that he doesn't care. Grim: In their first meeting during the ceremony, Riddle mistook Grim for the MC's pet. He, along with Azul, caught Grim, stopping his rampage. Riddle seems to view Grim as a troublemaker. Ace of Trappola They are both from the Rose Kingdom, but did not meet until Ace entered Night Raven College. As the caretaker of the house, Riddle views Ace as a troublemaker who tries to get out of work easily, but also sees potential in him. Their relationship got off to a rocky start, with Ace breaking one of the dorm rules shortly after enrolling. Riddle has a habit of pushing Ace to do what he wants, such as when he compares him to Epel to fuel Ace's competitive spirit. Deuce of Spades They are both from the Rose Kingdom, but did not meet until Deuce entered Night Raven College. Riddle acknowledges that Deuce is serious and upstanding, and that, unlike Ace, he tries his best to fit in with the standards of both the dorm and college, despite his less-than-stellar grades and equally bad troublemaking tendencies. Cater Diamond Despite Cater's social personality being the polar opposite of his, Riddle never seems to be truly angry with him. Trey Clover Trey is the deputy caretaker of the Heartslabyul house, and Riddle seems to trust him very much. They are also childhood friends, and grew up in the same area of ​​the Rose Kingdom. Riddle is very fond of Trey's baking. Leona Kingscholar During the events leading up to Leona's outburst, Riddle tried to calm him down and told Leona that while he understood the irony of his statement, it pained him to see Leona in his current state. Jack Howl Riddle views Jack as a capable and decent underclassman. Ace notes that the two of them have similar ideals and work ethic despite looking vastly different. Azul Ashengrotto Riddle thinks highly of Azul's talent and abilities, but does not trust him. Later, Riddle and Azul come to see each other as friends and sometimes feel comfortable showing their true feelings to each other. Jade Leech Riddle admits that Jade is easier to deal with, but sees him as much of a threat, if not more so, as Floyd. Floyd Leech In the main story and in episodes, Riddle is shown to do his best to avoid Floyd, mostly due to his constant teasing and general disruption, which often results in Riddle becoming upset or angry at his antics. Kalim Al-Asim Riddle mentions that he finds it difficult to refuse Kalim, not only because Kalim rarely listens, but also because, despite him appearing pushy, Riddle knows his intentions are completely pure. Riddle, along with Azul, occasionally tutor Kalim. Epel Felmier Riddle sees Epel as a boy with great potential and great determination to achieve his goals. Idia's Shroud Riddle does not actually hold any animosity towards Idia and simply wishes that he would pay more attention to education and be able to confidently lead his students.

Riddle looks up to Malleus as his senior in class, magical ability, and nobility. Sebek Zigwalt They are together at the equestrian club; Riddle recruited Sebek during the club day.
