#castoria and Malleus are friends but she keeps him at arm's length

[the-girl-with-too-many-ideas]

Castoria wouldn't hate being in Twisted-Wonderland, but she wouldn't like it either.

She wouldn't hate it because she doesn't have to deal with any 'child of prophecy' nonsense, nor be tasked with some grand destiny that ends with her sacrificing herself for the world. She can, for once, just be a normal girl living a rather normal life, like going to school with peers her own age.

However, she wouldn't like it because she's surrounded by people who are willing to use or take advantage of her at any given opportunity. Who see her as amusing at best or someone they can use and manipulate for their own gain at worst. She's still forced to take responsibility that she doesn't want, like looking after grim, resolving school problems, or taking care of overblots. Her Fae eyes also don't help her negative feelings because she can see other people's intent and thoughts, so she actively tries not to approach or befriend her classmates (that goes double for any fae students).

What I'm trying to say is that while Twisted-Wonderland isn't anywhere near as horrific as Fae Britain was, there are still too many negative aspects that Castoria simply wouldn't find herself being comfortable there.
