Vil Schoenheit

Vil Schoenheit - Housewarden of Pomefiore. A young man of striking beauty, he considers himself the fairest of all. No effort is too much for him in his unending pursuit of beauty. Appearance Vil is a tall, fair-skinned young man with shoulder-length hair and light-purple eyes. His hair is light-blonde, and fades into a light-purple color at the tips. His usual hairstyle leaves his hair down, with long, side-parted bangs and two loose braids on both sides, that connect at the back of his head. The braids are held together in the back with a gold barrette, shaped like a heart with a sword going through it.

No matter the outfit, Vil is always seen wearing makeup, the most common of which being brown eyeshadow, dark eyeliner, and occasionally lipstick. Vil is often seen showing off a refined smile.

Dorm Uniform As the housewarden, Vil's dorm uniform somewhat differs from the rest of the Pomefiore students, the most distinguishing features being the length of his robe and his golden crown. Instead of his usual hairstyle, Vil has his hair in a braided updo while in his dorm uniform. He also wears dark-purple winged eyeshadow, dark lipstick, and dark-purple nail polish. The uniform consists of a violet robe, a black button-up shirt underneath, black pants, and black and gold heeled boots.

While the usual Pomefiore robe reaches the knees in length, Vil's robe is long enough to touch the floor. The underlining is deep-red, with an intricate baroque pattern depicting several poisoned apples. Also underneath most parts of the robe is a layer of black sheer fabric.

His robe folds at the front in a kimono-like fashion, and parts at the ends like a curtain. The sleeves open up at the shoulders, and reach the knees in length. Both sleeves have a gold, baroque pattern near the ends. The left shoulder of the robe also has this patterning, and includes the symbol of Pomefiore. On the chest area of the robe are three golden straps, with a design similar to that of a marching band uniform. Around his waist is a wide, black sash, with a red rope over it, tied on his left side. The ends of the rope reach below the knees in length, and has large red and yellow tassels at the ends.

The black button-up shirt worn underneath his robe has long sleeves and a white, wingtip collar. The ends of the sleeves have a lace-like pattern, and a single loop that goes around the middle finger. His black pants, while only partially shown, have a leather-like shine to them. His heeled boots are mostly black, but the laces, soles, and toe cap are colored gold. On the back of the boots is a gold baroque design.

Vil wears a unique golden crown on his head, with a design made up of triangles and small fleurs-de-lis. Near the center of the crown is an icon shaped like a heart with a dagger pierced through it. Personality Vil is very fixated on beauty and doesn't spare any effort when it comes to achieving and maintaining it. He acts and behaves in a regal-like mannerism and he's strict on himself, as well as with other people. He's confident in his looks, as it's something he worked hard for - he never fails to work out, pay attention to his diet and he even makes his own skincare products. Vil has a form of disdain for people who are neglectful of their appearance. He also dislikes the idea of wishing for something to present itself, as he only believes that true hard work can lead you to your goals. Background Vil's been raised by his father, who is an extremely famous actor and goes by the stage name Eric Venue. Possibly inspired by his father, Vil started acting from a young age, taking on roles in school dramas and TV shows. But Vil was always casted as the role of the villain or the bully, which started to bother Vil early on in his acting career. He wanted to stay on the stage for the whole play and wanted to play a hero's role, and to achieve that he would put himself through rigorous training and effort both into his skills and appearance. Yet he was never chosen for anything but a villain's role, which left him feeling frustrated. Despite his building negative feelings, Vil never stopped putting in the effort or giving up his hope as he was growing up.

Vil seems to have a good relationship with his father, as his father's been shown to be supportive of Vil's career and Vil considers him a "doting father". Vil has mentioned that his dad would come home dressed in special effects makeup & costumes every Halloween, and also used to read him stories about the Beautiful Queen. Signature Spell: "I lose naught and fear naught. This shining crown was made for me. Fairest One of All"

His Signature Spell is called "Fairest One of All", and allows him to place a curse on whatever he touches, with any conditions he chooses. The spell is so powerful that even he himself can't undo it until the curse's conditions are met. ... Outside of his school life, he works as a professional actor and model. Azul claims that Vil holds records for the most runway appearances two seasons in a row. He has over 5 million followers on Magicam, and is considered to be a prominent influencer. Vil makes it a point to stay fit, and can easily take down strong opponents in physical fights. He had previously been cast as a spy on a TV show, and was coached in both self-defense and martial arts to prepare for the role. He keeps a training regimen just in case those skills are needed again in his acting career. He once mentions having a former kickboxing champion as a personal trainer. His dorm room features a pair of dumbbells on the floor, implying that he weight trains.

Night Raven College A prestigious four-year arcane academy. Its doors are only open to students deemed to possess magical aptitude as determined by a magical artifact called the Dark Mirror. Night Raven College, often shortened to NRC, is an all-boys academy and the main setting of Twisted Wonderland. It is a four-year magic educational institution located on top of a mountain on the north side of the Isle of Sages.

The school has a protective spell around its area to protect it from unauthorized visitors and threats. Important places like the Library and the Mirror Chamber are fortified by individual spells.

Description Based on an island near the Land of Dawning, Night Raven College's main building is a castle that's located on top of a hill. Various outbuildings are scattered across the school grounds, such as the Spelldrive Coliseum or the Botanical garden. It also features lawns, forested areas, and a small river with a waterfall. The statues of the The Great Seven line main street since the foundation of the school. Any act of vandalism against the statues result in punishment.

Campus Locations Main Building: The castle is the main building of Night Raven College. It has multiple floors and contains the majority of the classrooms. Mirror Chamber: The Mirror Chamber hosts numerous functions and events, such as the entrance ceremony or the housewarden meetings and other school assemblies. It also houses the Dark Mirror. Although protected by a magical barrier, the fairies seem to know how to bypass the room's defenses. Cafeteria: A large hall used by students and school staff during meal periods. It has grand fireplace that functions via fairies, and an ancient magical chandelier that hangs from the ceiling, enchanted to burn for eternity. Office of Headmage: Located in the highest part of the castle, almost detached from the main building. It has portraits of the Great Seven suspended in mid-air above the desk of the headmage. In this room, Crowley enrolled Grim and MC as a single student. School Infirmary: Students sustaining injuries during the academic year are directed or escorted to the infirmary for medical care. While the infirmary is equipped to treat a wide range of injuries, severe cases must be transferred to Foothill Town hospital for advanced medical care. Classrooms: Classrooms accommodate approximately 20 to 30 students. Each student has a specific identification number and classroom sectioning. Ace mentions that first-years rarely ever bump into the third-years. However, some classes can have combined lessons. Laboratory: The laboratory facility is used for Potions classes, but also serves as the Science Club's room for its extracurricular activities. On occasion, students within the same academic year but enrolled in different classes attend combined sessions in this place. Courtyard: Students tend to use the courtyard during their breaks. Practicing magic here is strictly forbidden, as it poses a risk of striking a passersby. Side Street: Connected to the Coliseum and main street. It's usually used for various school festivals. Coliseum: The Coliseum is used for Spelldrive matches and magic exams. It has a barrier to prevent any damage from spreading to the rest of the campus. It's also used for large events such as the Song & Dance Championship. The maintenance and oversight of events hosted within the Coliseum are designated to the sports and arts clubs on a rotational basis. Professionals handle a few specific tasks. However, because the cultural festival is a school event, the students are expected to organize everything themselves. Stables: The stables hold horses for the Equestrian Club. The club is also responsible for cleaning the stables. Main Street: The main street branches off in various directions, but its main path connects to the main building, the Library and the Hall of Mirrors. The statues of the Great Seven line the main street from each side. Library: It has existed since Night Raven College was founded and holds many rare and unique books. Some volumes cost tens of thousands of madols each. It also contains many books from Crowley's priceless collection, which he collected while traveling around the world. Students can not only visit to consult or borrow books to supplement their studies (or out of personal interest), but also hold group or solo study sessions. Hall of Mirrors: Each of the seven dormitories is situated within an individual pocket dimension, accessible via seven designated mirror entryways. The Hall of Mirrors houses these mirrors. Gymnasium and Sports Field: Used for PE Classes and by the Sport Clubs. Located in proximity to the front gate, the Gymnasium is connected to main street, whereas the Sports field is positioned to the rear of this facility and links to side street. Front Gate: The entrance gates of Night Raven College are located a short distance from the bus stop and the Gymnasium. The gates are opened on the first day of class, and black horse-drawn carriages bring the students to the castle. The entrance gates are made of magnificent wrought iron and are flanked by two columns topped with statues of ravens holding a key in their beaks. Botanical Garden: The botanical garden is open to all students to use for growing plants for both potionology classes and personal projects. Alchemy Workshop: Used by classes from the first to the third year, the workshop serves as a greenhouse and classroom for teaching Alchemy and Herbology. Set in special containers and reserved spaces, it houses many exotic and magical plants, including some that are extremely rare, hard to grow and maintain, or difficult to handle, such as Mandrakes. Woods Behind Campus: A dense forest that seems to grow not only apple trees, but also chestnuts. Students can use this land for harvesting. Ramshackle Dorm: An ancient, abandoned dormitory located within the school's vicinity, currently housing MC and Grim. Ghosts have been living inside the building too, prior to MC's arrival. Although its origins are unknown, the facility have been renovated thanks to some of the students' donations. Mister S's Mystery Shop: Mister S's Mystery Shop is run by Sam. Teachers and students visit the shop to buy snacks or unique items. Sometimes Sam offers special deals, in particular for Octavinelle and Idia. According to Crowley, the teachers get a faculty discount.

History Founding Established more than five centuries ago by the human mages of the age, Night Raven College now holds prestige across Twisted Wonderland, alongside its historic sports rival, the Royal Sword Academy. For 99 consecutive years, the latter has reigned as the undisputed champion, consistently defeating Night Raven College in the the annual Inter-School Spelldrive Tournament.

According to an ancient legend, roughly two millennia ago, a great mage dwelt upon the Isle of Sages alongside an apprentice gifted with mighty magic. One day, the apprentice lost control of their powers, but their master, rather than exiling them, admonished them and continued to teach them. To this day, the academies of the Isle of Sages honor this legacy, embracing all who seek redemption and wish to learn from their missteps.

Dormitories Over time, the academy established the seven current dormitories of Night Raven College modeling each after The Great Seven, a group of legendary and revered figures in Twisted Wonderland's history. Upon entering the school, students are sorted into these dorms based on the qualities of their souls.

Enrollment Students are only allowed to enroll in this school if they have the potential for being a great magician, a factor which is determined by the Dark Mirror. A black carriage will be sent to personally pick up incoming students, which can even travel underwater. They are kept unconscious in coffins called "Gates" until arriving at the academy. In most cases, they can only be awoken if their Gate is unlocked with a special key, however there are exceptions.

All students are given a magical pen upon enrollment. These are fountain pens which hold the user's magic gemstones, and so are also utilized as wands. The color of one's gemstone is determined by which dorm they are in. They are capable of changing form, but so far this has only been shown with the housewardens.

Students who have received an invitation to enroll in the school can choose to decline or ignore the offer. However, if someone changes their mind, they can approach the principal with the original invitation at any time. The principal will accept them if they are motivated to learn and enroll them in that year's new cohort of beginning magicians. Invitations have no time limit, and this policy applies even if the Headmage who sent the original invitation has retired.

Dark Mirror The Dark Mirror is a magical mirror that sorts the new students into one of the seven dorms based on the nature of the student's soul and essence of their being. It can only sort students who possess magical powers. While it's possible to transfer dorms, it's a complicated process and requires a new ritual.

Every year, this mirror is used to determine who is eligible to attend Night Raven College, and prior to MC's arrival, the Dark Mirror had never made a single mistake in its one hundred years of use. Regarded as one of NRC's most prized magical treasures artifacts, the Mirror Chamber is the location where it is enshrined and is strictly off-limits to outsiders regardless of circumstance, with the special exception of Halloween, during which photography is prohibited.

There are many types of magic mirrors, but ones like the Dark Mirror, are considered rare. Before coming to NRC, Vargas had never seen one. However, it's implied that its omniscience and power seems limited because items carried inside the Dark Mirror can disappear if someone is not careful with their luggage. Crowley always remembers that any valuable item should be sent through the mail. In Book 5, Jamil is skeptical about the mirror's power to identify the nature of souls.

School Mirror Ace implies that there is at least one mirror gate, called a school mirror, in each student’s hometown that only connects to the Dark Mirror within NRC. During the winter holidays, these mirror gates can close and disallow travel from one end to the other. If anyone needs to return to the school, they will have to use other modes of transportation.

Magestone Kept inside the Mirror Chamber, the Magestone is housed alongside the Dark Mirror and is one of Night Raven College's most precious objects. This magestone serves as a source of fairy energy for the fairies who work within the academy, making the campus buildings, including the seven dormitories, pleasantly livable all year round. Without this stone, it is impossible to power the fairies' magic and control the academy's climate.

However, the defenses of the chamber are not impenetrable; during the Fairy Gala story, fairies somehow managed to get in and steal this important object kept there.

School Life Academic Progression The school year begins in September every year. New students participate in a ceremony in the Mirror Chamber, which housewardens also attend each year. Each grade has about two hundred students, around thirty from each dorm. Dorms usually throw a welcome party for the freshmen the same night as the ceremony.

Night Raven College's school year is structured in a similar way to normal schools, with two semesters punctuated by winter and summer holidays and ending with a final exam. Students have the option of staying at NRC for the winter holidays. Those who choose to stay at the dorms during the holidays do not have to attend classes, and participate a feast on New Year. However, students whose scores on midterms are low have remedial classes during winter holiday.

Other than breaks and weekends, students do not receive holidays but are occasionally allowed to visit Foothill Town, the local village. There are various feasts in a year, and the school normally celebrates Halloween, Starsending, Night Raven College Founding Day, and Spelldrive Tournaments (Interdorm and Interscholastic).

Third years attend an orientation meeting in the springtime to prepare them for the application process. To graduate NRC, students must complete mandatory off-campus internships in their fourth year, which is a structure common among magic schools. Internships begin in September, around the same time classes start and they don't return to campus until the cultural festival in February. Because of this, seniors are unable to participate in a majority of school events until their return.

Obligatory rules for the fourth year There are three periods for the internship; students can choose to remain at the same site or take up to three different internships, each lasting three months. A student's internship site options will vary depending on the individual's electives, class credits, and grades. Some internships require special technical exams and/or interviews. Some internship sites will also scout students in advance. Each quarter, fourth years must receive an evaluation of B or higher, as well as submit a written report about their experience. In order to take the final exam to graduate, the student must receive credit in at least two out of three internships in order to qualify for graduation. Subjects of Study There are a variety of classes that include both the core curriculum and elective classes. All students are required to complete a set of exams to advance to the grade. Every year, there are always a couple of dropouts or students who have to repeat a grade. However, there have been no such cases for Heartslabyul after Riddle became the housewarden of that dorm.

Some fields of study taught at the school are: History of Magic, Physical Education (P.E.), Flying, Alchemy, Potionology, Magic Analysis, Poison Refining, Astrology, Practical Magic, Art, Musicology, Animal Linguistics, Technomantic Engineering and Ancient Magic.

History of Magic A required class. The lessons contain information about the names and deeds of significant people, important dates and events in magical history of the Great Seven. Its material seems to be sectioned into parts, each one taught to different grade years.

Flying and P.E. Flying is described as an elective class, and it is mentioned that not many Pomefiore students take it. All students must take part of P.E, but Physical Training and Swimming seem to be P.E. elective courses.

Alchemy Alchemy is the study of magical plants and fungi, including their care and their magical properties and uses. Some magical plants are important ingredients in potions, while others have magical effects on their own.

This class is a required course for all students, as it seems to provide the base knowledge for potion making before students qualify for other more complex science electives. Alchemy classes are held in the greenhouses and include many hands-on activities, such as taking care of the plants and harvesting them.

Potionology Potions are magical liquids created by mixing various ingredients in a cauldron following specific rules. These mixtures are usually consumed to gain their magical effect.

There are legal restrictions on who can brew and administer potions in society at large. Riddle even mentions licensed potion pharmacists that formulate potions, as those who consume them may undergo physiological changes. Magical potions can only be brewed by licensed professionals or under the supervision of a licensed professional like Crewel.

Some potions are ineffective if not brewed by the person who intends to drink it, while other potions require infusions of magic while harvesting the ingredient or preparing the potion in its cauldron.

Enigmics Enigmics is a branch of magic that was concerned with the magical properties of numbers. Enigmics at Night Raven College is taught by Professor Crewel. In his class, students are expected to write essays and to be able to understand complicated number charts, which are part of their homework.

Astrology Astrology is the system of using the relative positions of celestial bodies (including the sun, moon, and planets) to try to predict future events or gain insight into personality, relationships, and health. The students of Scarabia particularly excel in this subject.

Ancient Magic Ancient Magic is a subject and presumably be taken by students third year. It is the study of ancient language (or runes) and it is a mostly theoretical subject that studied the ancient scripts of magic.

Practical Magic Practical Magic involves using spell formulas in order to achieve a practical goal, such as autocleaning. Enchanting objects is described to be a "basic, rudimentary magic" that even first years are capable of performing. This is a required subject; failure to pass means you are held back one year.

Training Class There is a mandatory practical training class in which students fight magic projections of staff; this puts things learned in Practical Magic into use via combat. The practical training class used to be done off-campus in deserted areas booked for NRC use. This, however, led to issues like people going missing, students colluding, and fights between teachers and students. Modern technology has made it possible to create realistic environments and opponents while still on-campus.

Culinary Crucibles The Culinary Crucible is a program in which the student can develop culinary skills by helping in the Cafeteria. Those who pass the Culinary Crucible taste tests will be granted optional credit.

Art and Musicology Art and Musicology are required, as they encourage and expand one's imagination. This is important because spellcasting is enhanced by having a strong imagination.

Defense Magic In this class, students learn how to cast offensive and protective spells, as well as how to properly handle and deal with opponents. The lessons generally has a practical approach, with competent teachers like Crewel, but also has theoretical assignments given as homework. The class curriculum varies depending on the year and is a course that could be linked to Training Class and Practical Magic.

By his own admission, Leona seems particularly talented in this subject. This course is also called Protective Magic.

Summoning This course is a challenging arena of magic, requiring both breadth of knowledge and ability to quickly and accurately execute complicated procedures. It is Idia's favorite subject and, according to him, the summoning's basically a game IRL and parts of it feel just like it is filling out a bestiary or nabbing trophies. Despite the possibility of summoning a familiar or a fairy, the summoning would nonetheless cost a considerable amount of magic.

Deuce might have a natural talent in this field, as he was able to summon cauldrons even before his official training. However, summoning seems to have its limits: it appears impossible (or at least extremely difficult) to conjure something that doesn't exist. Deuce, for instance, can summon cauldrons only because they exist somewhere else in the world.

Abbreviated Spellcasting in Ancient and Modern Magic: Changes and Comparisons This course is a elective that involves drawing chronological charts and writing reports. Cater and Lilia avoided it, choosing Poison Refinement instead. It seems to be linked to the Ancient Magic course.

Animal Linguistics This course allows for the study and understanding of animal language. Students are required to take it starting from their first year, and each year the difficulty tends to increase.

Further subjects Elective courses we don't have much information about: Biology, Toxicology, Magic Energy Engineering, Mathematics and Poison Refining.

Memorizing student names may also be a Housewarden responsibility, although Idia admits that he knows almost none of the names. New housewarden are picked or recommended by the previous leader. This was the case for Kalim, Vil, and Idia. It is possible to challenge the current dorm leader to combat for his seat, but this usually involves declaring intent to the headmage and obtaining approval in advance. Fighting for the seat doesn’t appear to be common practice for planned successions. Vice-housewardens are picked by the Housewardens. Vice can be voted into power by the rest of the dorm’s members. For vice-housewardens, they seem to have the responsibility of supervising the dorms in the event that a Housewarden is unavailable. Housewardens can decide whether to implement a curfew. Heartslabyul and Pomefiore, each for their own need, have one while Diasomnia does not. Riddle also mentions needing to attend orientation rehearsal. Savanaclaw and Ignihyde currently lack vice-housewardens. They have the power to abolish the seat of vice. Housewardens are granted the privilege of altering their dorm uniform. It is revealed that Heartslabyul's Housewarden is responsible for assigning the suits of cards on each student's face, and applying it for the first time. Participation in the Arcane Academy Interscholastic Games is mandatory for Housewardens.

Uncertain Rules Trey says that he can issue “a sleepover pass” as vice-housewarden, but it is unclear whether it is a power reserved for all Vice-Housewarden rather than something exclusive to Heartslabyul. Lilia says that students need the Housewarden’s permission to reserve the dorm lounge for events like parties, but it is not specified if this is a school rule or a Diasomnia rule. Riddle says that has been trained as a first responder in the event of an emergency, but it is unclear whether that rule only applies to Housewarden and Vice. In the novel, Ace says that Riddle decides dorm room assignments, although it is unclear whether this is another responsibility of all Housewardens or exclusive to Heartslabyul. School Clubs The school has various clubs that are broadly divided into two categories: sports teams and cultural clubs. When creating a club, the student is required to declare which of the two categories the club is classified under to the school. The creation of new clubs is subject to the approval of the headmage. There is a Student Club Fair held at the beginning of each school year.

During the intercultural festival, sports teams assist with manual labour, such as setting up the SDC stage, while the cultural clubs prepare booths to showcase their respective club's activities. It seems that there's no minimum number of members needed in order to run a club, as some clubs have only one member. However, every student must join a club.

Should club members exhibit poor academic performance, the designated hours for club activities may be subject to reduction. ... Overblot is a negative state that occurs in a mage who overuse their magic and let their negative emotions "blot" their magic wands. Currently, there is no cure for this problem.

According to Idia, there are also extremely rare cases where they can blend in with dire beasts and other wild animals and hide in the mountains. Description: Every spell generates a toxic byproduct of stagnant magic known as blot. Under normal conditions, blot is naturally eliminated by the body through rest or filtered out by the magestones integrated into wands, which help channel and control the magical flow. If an individual is subject to a huge stress, anger, sadness and internal pressure this causes a higher rate of blot accumulation, resulting in the body’s inability to eliminate it naturally or through magestones.

Overblot is a corruptive phenomenon that sees a mage accumulate blot within their own body on the limits of their magic. The consumption of the mage, in fact, will lead to the birth of a physical manifestation known as a "Phantom". In this state even the mage's aura and appearance are altered and mostly dark.

Phantom The Phantom will appear as a massive entity looming behind the mage, featuring a stitched-together body and a glass head from which ink leaks out. The appearance of these beings varies wildly, often reflecting the nature of the negative emotions that caused the breakdown. After all, the Phantom is not an independent entity at first, but a pseudo-parasite that uses the mage as a core and primary energy source to fuel its attacks and sustain itself.

To free a victim in an Overblot state, the opponent must be able to sever the bond between the mage and their Phantom. Otherwise, the Phantom will drain its host until their subsequent death, leaving behind only a monster driven by hunger and negative emotions. Overblot can also occur if powerful curses or sealed Phantoms are released.

Since blot is composed of powerful toxins and stagnant magic, it can condense and crystallize into a gem once expelled from the body. The consumption of these blot crystals will lead to a violent attitude, in which the victim will no longer be able to recognize even friendly faces or remember any of their actions. Royal Sword Academy Considered one of the two powerhouse schools in the world of Twisted Wonderland along with Night Raven College. It's NRC's rival school and has beaten them in Spelldrive tournaments for 99 years straight.

The school is located on the southern coast of Sage's Island.

According to Leona and Ruggie, it’s a school full of snotty, pampered rich princes, and their school buildings and uniforms are needlessly flashy. Judging from Leona's line, it can be assumed that Royal Sword Academy is also an all-boys school.

The action takes place at the end - after the fifth volume of the original plot of Twisted Wonderland, after Vil's overblot. Further events depend on the user.
