#these are AUs but i still wanted to somehow incorporate the main aspects of edna + zesty into them somehow to make them more ''unique''

Some alternative verses for my non-Tales + non-Z.estiria followers since I know some people have a hard time trying to interact with Edna in her main, canon verses:

𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐀𝐔 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄.  /  She's a girl who lives on Rayfalke with her older brother, E.izen. Rayfalke is an abandoned castle on the mountains that once used to be a kingdom centuries ago; it was already in ruins by the time the siblings claimed it as their home away from people who shunned them out due to the extremely bad luck E.izen always brought with him. The few people who ventured past Rayfalke during their travels mistook Edna and E.izen as the remaining royal descendants of those who once lived there, and the two played along if it meant continuing to live in peace, thus leading Edna to be known as the 'princess' of Rayfalke.

One day, however, E.izen left home without telling her, leaving only a letter detailing his plan to embark on a journey of his own because he couldn't risk his bad luck accidentally injuring her. Heartbroken by it, Edna decides to live by herself in the abandoned castle while clinging onto hope that her brother would one day change his mind and come home. Eventually, she finds out that E.izen's curse did affect her through physical contact with his letters, each one she receives slowly making her figure transparent until her entire body is semi-transparent. Some people eventually believed she is the ghost of a former Rayfalke princess, which she also plays along with so that she can continue living in isolation. The absence of her brother sometimes makes her wander around, though, possibly letting her meet new people along the way.

𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

❀ E.izen's bad luck is a direct result of a curse being inflicted onto a villager named Theodora, a woman whom E.izen crossed paths with in passing on the way home some time ago. Because he was within the vicinity when she got cursed, it slowly affected E.izen, cursing him with bad luck. As time passes, the bad luck can range from trivial incidents to something possibly life-threatening, so that sparked his desire to leave home. He still sends letters and gifts to Edna, not knowing that she's already affected by his curse. ❀ She isn't really a 'ghost' in the true sense of the word for this AU because she's not 'dead.' She's just an ordinary human girl who is semi-transparent and cannot physically age anymore because of a side effect from a curse her brother passed onto her. Since her body can't age anymore, she doesn't need to eat or sleep, but her body still functions like a human would. This is a direct reference to her identity as a seraph from her canon verse. That being said, she can still touch and interact with anyone and anything. There is no known cure for her semi-transparency thus far, but she honestly doesn't mind it because it spooks people, another reference to how she enjoys scaring people in canon as well. Seraphim can't show up in mirrors in canon, but since Edna's only semi-transparent in this verse, I'll cheat the system a bit and say she can show up anyway ✌️ ❀ She sometimes writes letters to E.izen, but will never find the courage to send them. ❀ For a 'princess,' she prefers simple, cute dresses. She also has a soft spot for squirrels and cute animals. ❀ She isn't very good at cooking anything that's not simple, or stew. She wants to learn how to bake more than cook because she likes eating snacks. She also likes tea parties ... for the snacks. She is not gluttonous, though, and eats moderately. ❀ Edna is always carrying her umbrella as a weapon, and for sun protection. It also helps her look like a lady ✨✨

𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄.  /  Edna lives with her older brother, E.izen, in a small apartment meant for just the two of them. Despite her young looks, she is a high school student in her senior year. When she isn't in school or at home, she can be found taking walks around the neighborhood, and she has a soft spot for any stray cats wandering around. She'll deny liking normins, but if one looks closer, she is always buying something with normins printed on it. It's totally not an obsession. She'll say you're wrong every time.

𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒:

❀ She is well-rounded in all the school subjects she takes, but her favorite ones are science and art. She isn't too big on studying in general, but she gets decent grades, has never failed any classes, and enjoys learning about nature. If not nature, then she also enjoys learning about geology and gemology, and any other science topic pertaining to the earth. The only subject she genuinely doesn't like and is not good with is P.E ( Physical Education ) due to her frail body. She is healthy with no illnesses, but she also gets injured easily because she's very slender. ❀ As a student, she's the type who doodles in her notes if the teacher is rambling, but her notes are straightforward and easy to understand, so she doesn't worry about a test/quiz. If she's really lazy, though, she'll sometimes copy notes from a friend or classmate. She is prideful, so if she does get a low mark for something, she will try to get a better score next time, half of it out of wanting to improve while the other half is out of plain spite LOL ❀ She likes trying on cute dresses and outfits if she's outside shopping, but she likes shopping for accessories a little more since she enjoys decorating. Speaking of decorating, her phone case is decked out with normin stickers, and her room at home is also decked out with various normin-related things. It's totally not an obsession... ❀ This is her school uniform and will be her main outfit for this verse unless you want her to wear something else for a plot idea. This AU takes place in modern Japan for muses who can't fit into her main canon verse. I'm not too sure where in Japan exactly, since I do not live there, but I think she and E.izen would probably live in a quiet, lowkey neighborhood to reference them living away from humans in their canon story. ❀ She's the type of person who spams you with emojis while texting just to annoy you 💛 ❀ She doesn't mind exploring new places as long as they aren't too crowded or noisy. She'll make an exception for amusement parks, though, because it's rare for her to be able to go to one. As for rides, she enjoys rollercoasters or just anything more fast-paced. That being said, she doesn't particularly like ferris wheels because she thinks they're sappy. ❀ I don't really see her as a hardcore gamer girl, but I think she'd really enjoy Neko A.tsume lol 🐈 I can also see her playing anything simple and cute that involves lots of decorating because she'd put in lots of hours for those games. I don't think she'd be a fan of games that are timed or are purposely designed to test the brain. ❀ She enjoys cartoons more than anime, but will still watch both, and she also enjoys occasional manga. She mainly likes reading anything funny and lighthearted.
