So, general lore. I'm sure you know this, but just to recap; The player (Yuu) talks to the Magic Mirror and then wakes up in a coffin in a magical school called Night Raven College. The player also encounters a magical cat monster creature thing called Grim. He's basically there to talk for the protagonists and fuck with you (with Paimon's role in Genshin Impact).

Characters
Heartslabyul:
A dorm based on the Queen of Hearts' spirit of strictness.
(Twisted from Alice in Wonderland)
Riddle Rosehearts (Twisted from the Queen of Hearts)
"Housewarden of Heartslabyul. A serious-minded student who firmly upholds the rules written by the Queen of Hearts. While a top student, he is easily angered and just as strict with others as he is with himself."
Riddle is the second year Housewarrden of Heartslabyul. (I think he got there in the first month of his first year, which is rediculously fast. A new Housewarrden can only come about when the new one challenges the old one to a duel and wins or the old one graduates, in which case I think it goes to the vice) He's very strict with the Queen's rules. His unique magic is "Off with Your Head!" and it puts a collar on you that cuts off your magic. He's childhood friends with Trey and Che'nya (Cheshire Cat). His parents are both doctors, with his mother being significantly more well known. His mother was very controlling, planning and controlling every moment of his life from the moment he woke up to the moment his head hit his pillow again. He found Trey and Che'nya (two kids who were a year or two older than him) playing outside his house during his idependant study time. Long story short, he ended up going out to play with them and they became friends. Trey's family owns a bakery, and he made Riddle a strawberry tart for his birthday. He spent too long away, and his mother found out. And she was P I S S E D. They don't really go into too much detail in the game, but I'm pretty sure the manga said she like got their business shut down and ran their name through the mud or smth I just know it was bad.
Trey Clover (Trey of Spades card solider)
"Vice Housewarden of Heartslabyul. Mild-mannered, he acts as a parental figure for the dorm's students, and is frequently left to smooth things over when Riddle's strictness gets out of hand."
Trey is the third year Vice Housewarrden of Heartslabyul and childhood friends of Riddle. He's definitely one of those people who acts way too nice to cover up how angry/upset they actually are. He's a real stickler for brushing your teeth. Definitely a mediator, mom friend who loves baking. He kinda.... enables Riddle because he doesn't wanna be a bad friend, actually making him a worse friend by accident. His Unique Magic/Signature Spell is "Paint the Roses!" and it can overwrite attributes (i.e., change the flavor of something)
Cater Diamond (Four of Diamonds card solider)
"Casual and carefree, this expert room-reader is often called on to mediate between others. He's always on top of the latest trends, and has an exhaustive familiarity with social media in all its forms."
Third year. Chronically online. Canonically bi. Depressed asf but acts SUPER cheery. His family moves around a lot, so he never really had any childhood friends that lasted more than a few months. He doesn't wanna get attached to his classmates (esp Trey) because he knows they likely won't stay in touch after graduation. Social butterfly. Might have a crush on Vil, but definitely wants a picture with him for his Magicam acc bc Vil's so popular. In the Pop Music Club with Kalim and Lilia. His Unique Magic is "Split Card" and he can create independently acting clones
Ace Trappola (Ace of Hearts card solider)
"A quick learner with an upbeat personality and a mischievous streak. Since he and Deuce are both Heartslabyul freshmen in the same class, they regard one another with amicable antagonism."
You're either gonna love him or hate him. 1st year/Freshman. He's kinda a brat/jerk but if you think he's funny, you'll really like him. He's one of the first people you (Yuu) meet in the game, and he's part of your main friend group. Also close friends and roommates (👀) with Deuce (also, side note: 1st years have three roommates, so four to a room, the 2nd years have one roommate, so two to a room, and 3rd years and Housewarrdens have their own room). There's really not a lot known about him, but his brother used to go here and he's a pathological lair. He's very rebelious, even threw an egg at Riddle to anger him. His Unique Magic is "Joker Snatch" and it basically lets him copy someone else's (or steal it so they can't use it? I forget, he get's his later on in the story)
Deuce Spade (Deuce of Spades card solider)
"An earnest young man who enrolled at Night Raven College with the singular aim of becoming a respectable mage. He tries as hard as he can in his schoolwork, but he can be slow on the uptake, and his grades suffer as a result."
MAMA'S BOY. He wants to be an honor student I love him sm he's my bby. He used to be a rebel/bully/punk with bleached hair and bad grades and stuff. But then he walked in on his mother on the phone with her mother crying about how bad of a mother she is and he decided to be better for her. A little slow, thinks that baby chickens live in eggs, not understanding that edible eggs are already dead. UM: "Bet the Limit" it lets him reflect and double an attacker's magic. Again, not alot known about him other than basic personality and what we see as friends. Part of the main friend group.
Savanaclaw:
"A dorm based on the King of Beasts' spirit of persistence."
Twisted from The Lion King.
Leona Kingsholar (Scar):
"Housewarden of Savanaclaw. Perpetually effort-averse, his immense magical ability contrasts with his lazy demeanor. Given his position as the secondborn prince in his homeland, he treats others with an imperious attitude."
20 years old. Third year, and this is his 3rd years as a third year. (When the current third years were 1st years, he was still a third year) Has purposely been held back so he doesn't have to do adult shit and to spite his older brother, the king of the Sunset Savanna. Lion beastman. Great at Spelldrive (the flying, magic based sport. Think Quidddich) and is in the school's team. Grew up in his brother's shadow and now he's a petulant little bitch about a lot of things. He's super smart and talented but lazy as hell and spends most of his time napping around the campus. Jack resents him because he's genuinely so awesome but does nothing with him talents. Insanely jealous of his brother, and of Malleus. Malleus always beats him in the school's Spelldrive Tournament. So he has a lot of resentment and tries to like... kill him I think? Or sabotage him. His UM is "King's Roar" and he can turn things to sand (including Ruggie's arm).
Ruggie Bucchi (hyenas)
"A long-suffering runt who spends most of his time cleaning up Leona's messes, both literally and figuratively. Raised in a poor environment, he gets downright shameless when it comes to food."
Hyena beastman. POOR vine boom BROKE vine boom PEASANT vine boom He and his family lives in the slums and he's a thief (when he has to be). 2nd year. Leona bullies him so much, making him do a bunch of stuff. Savanaclaw doesn't have a Vice Housewarrden, but it's basically Ruggie. He works a lot of odd jobs for people who will pay him. His unique magic is "Laugh with Me" and it forces others to mirror Ruggie's movements
Jack Howl (..... we.. don't actually know. People assume it may be Kimba the White Lion??)
"A stern student focused on self-betterment. He's the kind of misfit who hates acting buddy-buddy with others, but still respects the pecking order"
1st year, wolf beastman. Very gruff, but a real sweetie. Loves his cacti. His UM, "Unleash Beast", literally just turns him into a wolf ðŸ¤ðŸ˜. I'm pretty sure he has lots of siblings.
Octavinelle
A dorm based on the Sea Witch's spirit of benevolence.
Twisted from The Little Mermaid.
(They run an on-campus cafe called Mostro Lounge)
Azul Ashengrotto
"Housewarden of Octavinelle. He runs a café on campus and makes it a point to gather information in all forms. His benevolent demeanor belies an extremely calculating personality."
2nd year. Loan shark, shady businesses man, read the fine print. Will cut you up.
