Magic Knight Squad Robe Redesigns

A long time ago, I had the idea of redesigning the uniforms of the Magic Knight squads for the (many) next gen ocs that me and my friends have. I thought it would be fun for the squads to each have a unique article of clothing for the squads' uniforms, to make each group a little more unique beyond their colors.

With the help of my beloved friend Steph ( @cringeyvanillamilk ), that idea has now come to fruition! I commissioned her for all the art you are to see.

And modeling the redesigned uniforms are mine and my friends' next gen ocs.

Representing the Golden Dawn is @lyranova's oc, Alistar Vangeance.

For the Black Bulls is @eme-eleff's oc, Hikari Yami.

Wearing the Crimson Lion King's uniform is @thoughtfullyrainynightmare's oc, Leonidas Vermillion.

From my own collection of ocs and representing the Blue Rose Knights is Dawn Faust.

The representative for the Aqua Deers is also my oc, Merel Faust.

The Silver Eagle's uniform is worn by @koneko-pi's oc, Avalinia Silva.

Representing the Coral Peacocks is @sailor-muno's oc, Bellini Fortuna.

Showing off for the Green Praying Mantises is @faewraithsworld's oc, Sullivan Vixen.

And the model for the Purple Orcas is another of @/faewraithsworld's ocs, Zoisite Ideale.

The CLK and GPM's uniforms have different versions that can be worn by the squad members. As seen below.

Thank you to Steph for taking my commission. And thank you to all my lovely friends for allowing me to turn your next gens into some gorgeous models!

Further notes about the uniforms below the cut.

Golden Dawn: they wear full body coats that are meant to be worn open. Squad members can have tassels added to their coats so they can be tied close if they so choose.

Black Bulls: they're not wearing leather jackets. It's standard fabric, that's all. Jacket length is somewhat adjustable though longer jackets are avoided to steer clear of having the same silhouette as the Golden Dawn.

Crimson Lion Kings: the sashes are sewn so that squad members don't have to wrap the fabric over their shoulder and around their waist every time they don their uniform.

Blue Rose Knights: it's a short cape already attached to a shirt. You'd just put it on like a regular shirt and hope that you don't get the cape in your face as you put it on.

Aqua Deer: it's a scarf, plain and simple. The ends of the scarf are to be a clean cut.

Silver Eagles: this squad retains the original form that a majority of the squad robes have in canon, a short mantle with an long cape attached. For the next gen's version, the fluff of the mantle was made a smaller component so that the feathers can be the main focus, instead of being mostly equal parts fluff and feather.

Coral Peacocks: a waist sash with the end of the fabric being shaped to resemble the tail feathers of a peacock.

Green Praying Mantises: arm sleeves that can just cover the forearms or cover the upper arms too. There's also a version with a slit in the sleeves in case there are squad members who don't want to wear the form fitting sleeves.

Purple Orcas: a vest with pointed hems reminiscent of the triangular shape of the squad robe worn by the previous generation. There are buttons on the vest so they can be worn open or closed to a squad member's preferences. (And most members tend to wear a shirt under the vest. Zoisite only wears his uniform this way because he can.)

The Canty-Faust Family Tree

Here we see the scope of Nacht and Josele's family tree.

Rather than just link to the posts I made about them, I briefly summarize the children here.

Sterling (not her birth name) is the eldest child. She was adopted some time after Nacht and Josele's wedding, during the 15 month time skip.

Sterling has two magic attributes thanks to a magical circlet implanted in her head (making her similar to Mars).

Dawn (middle name Aurelia) is the second oldest but firstborn child to Nacht and Josele. She's a spirited girl who never backs down from a challenge.

She has Light Magic (like her uncle) which manifests as silver light (which I also headcanon for Morgen's magic). She's got a lot of raw power but struggles with control.

Dusk (middle name Argentio) is the third oldest and Dawn's younger twin. He's far more reserved and does terribly in social situations.

He has Shadow Magic like Nacht. He's got talent for Creation Magic and works hard to hone that ability.

In Dusk's youth, he was very close to Nacht. However, around the time he was six, something happened and caused him to start avoiding his father.

Sirius is the fourth of the children. He's soft spoken and easy going most of the time but a force to be reckoned with if pushed.

Sirius has Dream Magic which greatly surprised his parents. He uses his attribute to gain a greater understanding of other people through their thoughts and dreams.

Merel is Josele and Nacht's fifth child and Sirius's younger twin. While afraid of a lot of things, she still finds the strength to be an optimist about everything.

(Fun fact, while Sirius was born on December 31st, Merel was born after midnight on January 1st.)

Her attribute is Nightmare, the dark counterpart to Dream Magic. She's afraid of her magic for a while but learns to come into it and use it to fight.

The youngest child is Vivian and the only child born to Nacht and Josele not as a twin. Quiet and robotic at first glance, she can get fired up in the right situation.

She inherits Emotion Magic from Josele. However, due to the nature of Emotion Magic, none of Vivian's emotion-to-element conversions match Josele's (example: Josele's magic turns the emotion of courage into Fire Magic while Vivian derives Fire Magic from feelings of embarrassment). The only exception is love turning into Healing Magic.

All the children call Nacht and Josele "Father" and "Mother." This is because Sterling was the first to call them that since she already had a "Daddy" and "Mommy." Though it sounds formal, "Mother" and "Father" are said with a great amount of affection for the parents.

🎳 all nacht and joseles kinds?

Ooooh? A question for all the Nacsele kids? Well then, let me get right into the answer since there's six of them to cover!

🎳 - Do they have hobbies? If yes, what are they?

Sterling: It's partially a hobby and partially a means to empower her magic but Sterling does dabble in tarot card reading. When she's actively using magic, the cards act as a focus (kind of like Noelle's wand) to make her past and future visions more accurate. She'll do readings for her friends and always reminds them not to take the readings too seriously when she does it without magic. She has a total of four card sets with different themes. One is themed around flowers, another has a seasonal aesthetic, her third is based on Cloverian fairy tales, and her last deck has art based on her family and friends.

Dawn: Dawn doesn't really dedicate herself to any singular hobby. She does do plenty of parkour and swordsmanship but that's more training as a warrior than a hobby. She's dabbled in a variety of sports, arts, and other recreational activities but never really stuck to anything besides her athletic training. She just wants to try everything to the best of her abilities.

Dusk: Dusk is a fan of table top role-playing games. He got into it thanks in part to Josele and Finral giving him a beginner's guidebook and encouraging him to image the kind of person he wants to be through the character creation. He likes creating worlds and the escapist fantasy of being someone else appeals to him since his self-perception is poor. He's good as both a player and game master but prefers building a campaign for his friends to play through. He also dabbles in creative writing so he has stories to his campaigns outside of what his players encounter.

Sirius: Calligraphy. Sirius used to have atrocious handwriting as a child and Nacht suggested that learning formal calligraphy would help him in that area. And... well his day-to-day handwriting is still clumsy at best but at least it's not chicken scratch anymore. He uses calligraphy when writing to his friends, as he believes all the nice things he has to say about them should be nice to look at too.

Merel: One hobby of Merel's is braiding. Yarn, leather, her siblings' hair, whatever material she's given, she will turn it into a plait. She finds it very relaxing and can enter a state of mediation, so to speak. Sirius and Dusk have some leather belts that Merel braided together herself (though she did need to go to a professional to get the proper fixings to make them into actual belts and not merely lengths of braided leather). She later finds a romantic partner and they wear matching leather bracelets that Merel made.

Vivian: Vivian does plant pressing as a hobby. Collecting leaves and flowers and whatever else she can neatly flatten and store within the pages of a book. She's does wilderness walks and then comes back with plants to press. Her hobby first started because of her admiration of folks like William and Charlotte. Later on, she would share her collection with the boy she likes, as he has a bad habit of holing himself up indoors.

Getting Father's Attention

Summary: Nacht gets a day off and some unusual time with his daughter, Merel. Genre: fluff Word count: ~650

..........

A day off.

In the past, when he worked as a Magic Knight, such a thing was quite rare. In the present, where he worked as an administrator in King Fuegoleon’s personal council, vacation days were still a rarity, though a little more common since Nacht no longer had to deal with the daily chaos of the Black Bulls.

Nacht’s plan for that particular day off was getting absorbed in a book. It came recommended by Nozel. It was a tale about a prince learning to re-evaluate his position and stance on tradition while deciding which young lords of his generation to make his court of advisors.

With a pot of coffee and plate of plain biscuits set out for him on a side table and a full couch to lounge on as he read, Nacht was ready to lose himself in another world.

[It is often said—]

“Father!” Merel’s chipper voice rang out. Nacht glanced up just in time to see Merel bounding over to his couch. “I forgot to tell you ‘good morning’ at breakfast. So good morning!” She leaned across the side of the couch and pecked Nacht on the head.

Ever the affectionate child she was.

“Good morning to you, Merel.” Nacht gave Merel’s head a quick pat. The girl giggled and then skipped out of the study, off to enjoy her own day.

Nacht continued to read the novel. He’d only gotten a couple pages into the story and met a couple new characters when he noticed a figure in his periphery. Turning his head, Nacht found that Merel returned.

“M-Mother left for work already… And I…” Merel looked to be on the verge of tears. “Help me tie my hair, please?” She held up a comb and her favorite hair ribbons.

Nacht did his best to properly style Merel’s hair while also reading the novel on the side. It was made harder by Merel talking about how Mereoleona invited her on a hiking excursion and Nacht gave short grunts and hums to reply to her rambling. Merel’s pigtails came out loose and the ribbons were lopsided compared to how Josele did them, but Merel still beamed and gave Nacht another kiss on the head as thanks before bouncing away.

And so Nacht’s reading session continued. He got more time with the book, finishing the first chapter, before Merel once again came into the room.

“What is it this time, Merry?”

“Um, I can’t find my schoolbag…” Merel poked the tips of her pointed fingers together as she whispered. “Can I borrow one of the devils to help me look?”

“Certainly. You know they’d be more than happy to help,” answered Nacht. With only a thought, Walgner’s tiny form appeared. He picked that devil in particular since he seemed to have a fondness for Merel. “Now run along you two and find that schoolbag.”

“Thanks Father!” Merel shouted as she and Walgner left.

Not a page later, Merel was back.

“Found it! It was on the hook in my closet. Tee hee! I can’t believe I lost it after putting it where it’s supposed to go!”

Again and again, Merel returned to the study…

“Father, you should know that the gardener arrived to do his usual clean up!”

And made Nacht paused in his reading.

“My hair came undone again… Sorry…”

He wasn’t mad at all the interruptions.

“Clover wrote back to me, Father! I can’t read their penmanship though…”

It was amusing, if also a bit puzzling, to see Merel so needy out of the blue.

“Father, how do you spell ‘auxiliary’?”

By the time lunch rolled around, Nacht hadn’t even finished the fourth chapter. And there were nearly thirty in the book. Perhaps he’d need to set a reading schedule to slowly work his way through the story, rather than hope to binge it all that day…

[loosesodamarble]

can you answer 11 n 26 from the cozy asks for all the faust kids pls?

Oh for all the children, huh? Oh boy that's gonna be a long post! But still, thank you for asking, Anon! I'm so happy to be talking about all of them!

..........

11) Does your OC enjoy a cuddle?

Sterling: Yeah, she likes them well enough. Physical affection, like cuddling, isn't something she's huge on but doesn't turn it down when it's offered/asked for. It's when she's tired that she wants to cuddle with someone the most.

Dawn: She's a take it or leave it kind of person. She doesn't seek out cuddling with others but if someone wants to cuddle with her, she won't turn them away. Especially if it's Caelum! Her boyfriend gets priority when it comes to cuddles.

Dusk: This anxious boy would like to cuddle but he struggles to ask for it. And even when other people initiate, he worries about being too uncomfortable to cuddle with, that he's bony or his skin is too cold (which is ridiculous when Merel is his sister). He prefers holding his cuddling partner rather than being the one that's held.

Sirius: He likes cuddling but kinda loosely. He doesn't really hold his partner or get held. The way Sirius likes to cuddle is to be seated next to each other and leaning on one another. Only with his girlfriend does Sirius get a little more touchy and decides to hold her.

Merel: Yes! Merel is a big cuddler! Unfortunately, because she's so cold to the touch, very few people are inclined to cuddle with her. Sirius, Walgner, and her future partner are some of the few people who cuddle with her most frequently.

Vivian: No. Well, maybe. It really depends who it is. If it's her family, her closest friends, or her romantic partner, she will allow it. But she doesn't cuddle with casual friends. And cuddling with strangers, even if it's the dead of winter and she's desperate for warmth, she wouldn't allow them to touch her.

26) Is your OC the one who receives the jacket or gives the jacket in their relationship?

Sterling: Since she never gets into any kind of relationship, Sterling doesn't really think of giving or receiving a jacket in that way. But when it comes to her siblings, she will always lovingly lend her jacket to them if they're feeling chilly.

Dawn: She would really want to receive a jacket from her boyfriend. Her body runs hot and always on the move, so her body doesn't need help keeping warm most of the time. But the meaning behind borrowing her lover's jacket makes Dawn's heart flutter and she wants that.

Dusk: He's the type to run cold but he'll always offer his jacket to his girlfriend. Dusk is used to being protected and doted upon. So when he's old enough for a relationship, he wants to be the type of partner who provides and dotes upon the woman he likes. He knows it feels good to be cared for and his parents tell him it'll feel good to do the caring, so he is a jacket giver.

Sirius: Oh absolutely the one to give his jacket. He might always have some kind of outer layer of clothing to offer to his girlfriend. And since he becomes a towering figure growing up, his clothes fit very loosely on his girlfriend (despite her not being all that small either).

Merel: Merel is the giving type. She's a nice person and likes looking out for her partner. But as part of being ice cold to the touch, she also doesn't feel the cold so she wouldn't need a jacket most of the time. She only really wears a jacket for aesthetic rather than getting warmth from it.

Vivian: Vivi is a jacket receiver, most definitely. She runs cold and hates feeling cold. Plus, she's on the small side so it'd be difficult for her jacket to work for whoever she gave it to. And though she's a borrower, she doesn't like holding onto a borrowed jacket (or anything else for that matter). She returns the jacket as soon as possible, even if it means tossing the jacket to its rightful owner right before she parts ways to walk home in the rain.

What the Faust kids inherited from Papa Nacht

Dawn: I can’t heal with my magic.

Dusk: My magic is a poor match for the girl I like.

Sirius: My Magic is always compared to Lady Dorothy’s.

Merel: I’m scared of my own magic attribute.

Vivian: I can’t shape my magic into any form.

Sterling: I can’t attack with my magic. At all…

Off to the side…

Zoisite: What’s with this family and their hang ups?

Lukian: Mental hang ups run in the family as far as I know.

Erika's Next Generation OCs

So I've been having brainrot about next gen ocs. This is partially thanks to @lyranova's Children of the Future series. But also I like to imagine the BC characters having a happy and stable future where building families is possible.

I've shared about the future Nacht x Josele and Nozel x Helia children before but i've got more to share.

I haven't been thinking about the next gen for too long so details are sparse but I hope to build upon the foundations as time goes on. (Maybe if my school work lightens up...)

The Extended Family of the Future

Discordia and Harmonia @lyranova's oc. Ida, Heinrich, and Johan are @marune2's ocs.

..........

In the future, Nacht and Josele's little hoard of children have the joy of having a doting grandfather in Heinrich and two wonderful aunts in Ida and Discordia. (Okay Discordia is technically their first cousin once removed but that's a mouthful.) It's a weird extended family of theirs but the Faust kids love it.

Here's some thoughts about it.

The children get to spend two weeks in Lumi with Discordia and Harmonia (and Moros too I suppose/lh) every year. It was actually Nacht's idea to give the children a chance to travel and see their relatives. It also gives Nacht and Josele some free time (you can guess for what).

Ida doesn’t really change her behavior around the kids. She swears in front of them. But she does avoids touching them unless necessary.

Sterling likes Heinrich the most because he can teach her about having two attributes.

Merel likes to cuddle with Ida. Merel’s body runs cold and Ida's body is so warm, so their extreme body temperatures cancel out.

Since Johan is on the adventurous side, Dawn and Vivian would enjoy spending time with him. Gimodelo would worriedly follow after them (keeping an especially close eye on Dawn).

All the children use the Bremen devils and Ida's Grimm creations to play hide and seek.

Dusk gets on edge around his relatives when their more... devilish sides show.

Sirius would become interested in medicine and mental health through Heinrich and his healing work. Heinrich may be from thousands years back but he still manages to help Sirius learn.

Heinrich helps raise Nacht and Josele’s kids while he also raises Johan.

Johan plays with the other kids, chasing them or flying them around. He might try to bite them when annoyed though.

Sterling has offered to teach Harmonia tarot card reading. It's a little funny since she's never made the same offer to her own siblings (she likes them relying on her for something).

Braiding trains for the kids. So many of them have long hair.

Vivian doesn't let most people touch her without asking. Her parents and siblings don't have the ask. Her relatives don't need to ask audibly but instead can hold out their hand to which Vivian takes it if she accepts the offer of physical affection.

Discordia becomes Sirius’ favorite relative as he grows up because she reminds him of sweet but sharp-witted Clara.

Sterling once offered to tie ribbons to Johan's horns. She was turned down but she insists that he would've looked cute.

Dusk's favorite relative is Harmonia because she's much calmer compared to the others and she helps him relax.

I imagine Merel and Ida are very careful about preventing Ida from falling victim to Merel's Nightmare Magic. Ida doesn't want to emotionally scar her niece with the fears and darkness that haunt her.

Harmonia asked if Sterling was also a princess because of the circlet implanted in Sterling’s forehead.

With Heinrich's knowledge of medicine and ancient magic plus Discordia funding the work, they made a pendant that would glow in time with Vivian's heartbeat so it could be monitored more easily.

Discordia has gotten cute clothes for the kids on a few occasions.

Ida was probably the one who told the kids about the murder den where Morgen died. Sterling, Dawn, and Sirius get a kick out of pointing out the door that leads to the basement when giving their friends house tours.

Sterling had a lot of questions when Ida introduced her to Michael. Like why he was such an ugly devil (not knowing he was actually an angel).

As a little kid, Dawn liked to grab the clothes of the relatives and jump over and over while telling them about something she was excited about.

Ida is blamed for inspiring Sirius' love of coffee. She even calls him "Coffee Bean" sometimes because of the color of his eyes.

Harmonia and Sterling once spent a day counting how many times they saw their parents kiss. Only for it to end in a tie of zero. Not unexpected for the Helheims but the Fausts, that's weird.

The girls definitely gossip about love lives. They only feel comfortable doing it around each other.

An embarrassing memory for the kids that has been burned into the minds of the adults is the time the kids were having a sleep over. The kids ended up sleeping in a giant cuddle pile with Sterling buried underneath everyone. Josele is especially fond of the fact that Johan's wings had been draped over Vivian like a blanket.

Dawn and Dusk would've learned how to make little familiars from their attributes from Ida and her Grimm.

The kids have seen an argument between their father and their aunts. They have a vow never to fight each other in a similar way.

By the time she was 10, Vivian had gotten lost in Lumi Castle a total of 43 times. Her becoming a traveler when she grows up causes some worry solely based on this fact.

Dawn sometimes asks Ida and Discordia if she’s like Uncle Morgen/would make him proud.

When Dusk was practicing shadow teleportation in Lumi Castle, he teleported under Harmonia's bed and bumped his head, scaring her into thinking she was being haunted.

It's embarrassing for her but Merel fainted when she was introduced to Heinrich's Illness and Deformation Magic. The same thing happened when she saw Discordia's Blood Magic for the first time.

The kids once put on a musical performance for Harmonia to celebrate her birthday. Sterling sang and played the harp. Dawn played guitar. Dusk was on piano. Sirius played the violin. Merel was on the cello. And Vivian joined Sterling in singing.

Sterling almost started calling Heinrich "Grandpa Heinny" before being told how embarrassing it'd be for him and she apologized for it afterwards.

Ida and Nacht have tried to trick the kids by dressing as each other but Sterling and the others know their father too well to fall for it.

Because the negative mana influence on Dawn causes her to not bleed, she has a fascination with Discordia's Blood Magic.

A conversation between Dawn and Discordia.

Dawn: (touches one of Discordia’s spells) Auntie, is there… a way to make me normal? Discordia: What do you mean? Dawn: Maybe your magic can fix me! Discordia: Maybe. If there was anything that needed fixing. But you’re lovely the way you are. Dawn: But-! Discordia: Have your mother and father ever said you needed to be fixed? Dawn: N-no… Discordia: Have your brothers or sisters? Dawn: No. But Vivian can’t talk. Discordia: Have any of your real friends called you a freak? Dawn: No. Discordia: Then we’re all in agreement. You, Dawn, are perfectly fine the way you are. Dawn: Hmm… Discordia: But. If the kids at your school want to call you a freak for not bleeding. (Creates a little necklace from her magic) Break it if you ever get hurt in a way that would make you bleed. It’ll gush blood everywhere and then all the kids will see it’s much better if you don’t bleed out! Dawn: Auntie, that’s gross!

[loosesodamarble]

Sterling: she’s the smart and responsible sibling. She’s eerily keen on how her siblings feel and behave (and that’s not even taking into account her Remnant and Divination Magic to get special kinds of insight). She’s not that much of a leader to be totally honest but she takes charge if it’s with her siblings.

Dawn: the “wildest” of the siblings, but it’s more that she’s a go-getter kind of girl. She’s more reckless than the rest of her siblings. Definitely the strongest fighter amongst the kids and the one to protect her siblings when things are tough.

Dusk: the quietest of the kids (which is saying a lot since most of the kids are like that). He often feels like he’s living in the shadows of all his siblings (sad young man that he is). He could never take the lead amongst his siblings because he’s so unsure of himself.

Sirius: the “sane” one of the kids. He’s the most reasonable of them, often taking lots of time to think things through. The best listener and advice giver too. Slight “forgotten middle sibling” syndrome but he manages.

Merel: the cheerleader of the siblings. None of her siblings can do wrong in her eyes and she loves seeing them try so hard for their dreams. A scaredy-cat and bubbly optimist at the same time, she comes off as a little unpredictable.

Vivian: the “baby.” She’s mature and wise despite her siblings being coddling and defensive over her. The smartest of the children behind Sterling. Her siblings would never bother her with their troubles but they also wouldn’t force her to accept their help if she was in trouble, that’s how much she’s trusted.

What a sibling is you oc? Ore would they be?

The Adlai Family

Gauche and Grey eventually start a family of their own. Their kids consist of two little sweethearts: Silver and Clara.

..........

Silver Adlai

His name is just silver like the metal. Gauche and Grey admit that Noelle and Sterling inspired the name.

Age: 17

Birthday: November 14

Magic Attribute: Mirror.

Appearance: Silver got the same blue as his mother. He keeps it cut short with most of his hair parted to his right. His eyes are brown, somewhat like Gauche's but there are green flecks in them.

Personality: Silver might have his father's magic but he's a much calmer individual. He's usually very well-mannered, following the rules and respecting those who do hold authority. Silver's also got a great mind, well read and with a strong memory, though admittedly he doesn't really try at it. He's perceptive enough to pick up on little subtleties in people (a result of people watching to better understand how to socialize). Like his mother, Silver is incredibly self-conscious and shy. Despite his knowledge and good manners, they don't come across that well as he tries to hide behind his parents/friends or back out of interactions. When caught off-guard, he has a habit of rambling about basically anything he knows about. Silver shows a bit more spine when it comes to protecting those he cares about. It's because, when protecting others, he's focusing on their well-being rather than how people are seeing him so he can act without fear.

His closest friend would be Dusk because neither boy socialized well so they ended up sitting in corners together just getting used to each other over the years. Silver is also close to Dawn, especially once they're both in the Magic Knights. Through Clara, Silver is also amicable with the younger Fausts though not quite friends. He's well acquainted with Saki due to her being an introvert as well. Doesn’t think highly of Ferro and thinks Eirlys would’ve made a good friend for Clara. Though not terribly close with Raphael and Ann, he admires their teamwork.

When he's old enough, he joins the Magic Knights and specifically the Blue Rose Knights. Yes, he's only an errand boy most of the time. But he's okay with that, being a Magic Knight without being on the front lines.

He's a good artist and often draws his friends. So far, his best piece is a sketch of the Roulacase family.

Has a terrible habit of flailing and slapping people in the face by accident.

He plays TTRPGs with Dusk and Saki. Dusk usually acts as the DM/narrator but Silver and Saki sometimes switch in. Actually, Plumede DM-ed for all the children at first.

Clara Adlai

Her name comes from Latin and means "clear" or "bright."

Age: 13

Birthday: May 11

Magic Attribute: Imitation.

Appearance: Clara has brown hair like her father and it's naturally very wavy. She grows it out long and leaves it loose. Her eyes are blue, almost like Grey's, with green flecks within.

Personality: Like Silver, Clara is an intelligent young girl though she's more actively studious. She sees the way her father can get into reading/research and took after him. She's more self-assured than Silver (except about one certain thing), holding her own in social situations better. Clara is also quite practical (where she got that given her parents is a mystery), preferring to be straightforward with her approach to things and being reasonable with expectations. Probably the most supportive kind of friend in the whole next gen, especially towards Silver. She gets why people would be down on themselves but that makes her more determined to get them to see themselves the way she sees them. Her greatest flaw is the fact that she can get annoyed pretty easily. And when annoyed, a few snarky quips can come out. She can hold back if she feels it's necessary but then end up bottling her annoyance until she bursts.

Her closest friend is Sirius (though some of the parents think there's something more to their feelings towards each other). She's also friends with Merel and Vivian, though a little closer with Merel. Clara hyped up Merel’s drive to be braver and takes interest in Vivian’s misadventures. Kohaku is another good friend of hers thanks to Sirius introducing them. Surprisingly she's friendly with Chalivas, though maybe they're just mutually tired with the chaos they see around them. She knows Ferro wants to be friends with her but is a little offended that he thinks she's as young as him. She looks up to Sterling, her former babysitter, because Sterling is serious but still very sweet to the younger kids.

She joins the Aqua Deer squad when she's old enough to be a Magic Knight. She and Merel had both agreed on being in the same squad.

She's pretty short for her height and she's a little self-conscious about it. But it just means that once she learns to punch correctly, her uppercuts are gonna be killer.

Clara is very close with Aunt Marie. She loves hearing about how silly her dad was in the past and gets a lot of advice from her.

Once when the elves were visiting the Bulls, Rhya offered to teach Clara how to use Imitation Magic and she turned him down. She said “I can manage. Besides, if something went wrong while training with you, Daddy would have to kill you and we don’t want that, do we?”

Too the character ask game my dear Loo it’s burn in my soul 🌝

Nacht Faust „18‘19‘20

And Ida Faust „‚1“11

Have a good day my dear Loo🤭

Thank you, thank you for asking these questions, Marune~!

I see you're asking about a canon character and one of your own ocs! Not something I expected to happen from this ask game but hey! I'll definitely answer!

..........

Nacht Faust

18) How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc)

Canonically, Nacht has always been a troublemaker. Maybe not a straight up delinquent but I imagine him walking out of boring tutoring sessions and intentionally showing bad manners in front of guests that pissed him off. He'd use his Shadow Magic as a tripwire or use it to pick pockets. Nacht was likely a precocious smart-mouth too, catching onto subtle social cues and talking smack under the guise of gentlemanly banter. Small and ultimately petty things. He'd only up the ante as he grew older.

19) The most random ship you've seen people have with them

Nacht x Vanessa? It's two pretty people, I guess, but I don't see any chemistry between them, neither friendly (what I imagine for Nacht and Finral) nor antagonistic (Nacht and Zora). I dunno. The most I see happening between them is Nacht not being under the effects of the Red Thread of Fate spell for the longest time because Vanessa just isn't clicking with Nacht so the magic doesn't work on him. RIP.

20) A weird headcanon

Nacht's hair is eerily silky and smooth. Even when he was bleaching it and not putting extra effort into caring for it, it was only once in a blue moon that Nacht got a split end or knot. And bedheads? Non-existent to this man. Even Nacht can't explain why his hair of all things is so pristine.

...

Ida Faust

1) My first impression of them

Initially, I was intrigued by Ida's profile. As well as confused and concerned. Her connection to the Faust family definitely meant I was immediately invested in how the Faust tragedy would effect her. I thought it was kinda wild that a 5-6 year old kid would run away from home (this was before you explained things in more detail). Reading Ida's profile for the first time was definitely a "oh I need to see where things go with this oc" impression/experience.

And now I'm very glad that I've seen you write and develop Ida. Cause now I really love her as Morgen and Nacht's sister (and Josele's sister-in-law 💖)!

11) What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character?

A fun, chaotic oc~! One of my favorite ocs for BC (not including my own, obviously).

Also, I keep on wanting to write a scenarios involving Ida interacting with Nacht and Josele's children but then my mind draws a blank and I feel so bad because I want to write something for you involving Ida but my brain isn't doing it and kjfjdfhais! 😭 Since I'm mentioning it now I might as well explain the ideas that I've had but have been unable to develop: -Sterling and Ida's first meeting -Dawn seeing Ida's black blood and being like "that's so coooool! I wanna bleed like that!" -Ida sneaking Sirius coffee candies since Nacht won't let his son drink coffee straight -Merel and Ida cuddling because ice skin Merel and fire skin Ida khfaisurht!
