!!Heartslabyul
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heartslabyul.png]]
Founded on the severity of the Queen of Hearts, Heartslabyul is known for having a long list of rules to follow as created by the Queen of Hearts. Each member is expected to follow all 810 of them; failure of even one will result in their beheading.
The dorm and its members are twisted from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
----
* FacialMarkings: All of Heartslabyul's members use makeup to apply markings on their faces to indicate their playing card suit as designated by their dorm leader, who is the sole exception.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Riddle
** TheLancer: Trey
** TheSmartGuy: Ace[[labelnote:*]]albeit a BrilliantButLazy variant[[/labelnote]]
** TheBigGuy: Deuce
** TheChick: Cater
* FlowerMotifs: Every member wears a white rose with red paint dripped on it on their dorm outfits.
* MeaningfulName: Each of the known dorm members has a name connected to their {{Playing Card Motif|s}}.
* PlayingCardMotifs: As per a dorm themed after the cards from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]—Heartslabyul's house colours are red and black, but all of them are generally decent people, if not [[NominalHero nominal heroes]] during their worst moments. [[spoiler:Unless you're talking about Riddle in his Overblot form.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukiHanae\\
'''Twisted from:''' The Queen of Hearts\\
'''Grade:''' Second year
The dorm leader of Heartslabyul. He is a strict follower of the laws instated by the Queen of Hearts.
----
* AbusiveParents: [[MyBelovedSmother His]] [[EducationMama mother]] in particular micromanaged him to a fault, resulting in his attitude to this day.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''iddle '''R'''osehearts.
* BerserkButton: As one poor unfortunate ghost found out during the ''Ghost Marriage'' event, Riddle absolutely ''hates'' it when someone calls him short. Said ghost ended up not only being collared by Off with Your Head, he was also set on fire.
* BrokenTears: After recovering from [[spoiler:his Overblot]], combined with CryCute.
* CantTakeCriticism: Prior to his CharacterDevelopment.
* CatchPhrase: He has different variations of saying he is the “most correct”.
* CharacterDevelopment: After [[spoiler:overblotting]] and the scolding he receives from Ace, he relaxes on enforcing the rules a bit and is shown to be slightly less strict than he was before -- though his [[HairTriggerTemper harsher]] [[ControlFreak tendencies]] don't go away ''completely'' and he still threatens to behead people who do not follow the rules.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Trey and Che'nya.
* ControlFreak: He has every single one of the dorm rules memorised and follows them obsessively, quickly losing his temper and punishing his dorm residents if they break even the most obscure, inconsequential rule. He eventually loosens up a little after [[spoiler:recovering from his Overblot]].
* CoolCrown: He wears one similar to the Queen of Hearts with his dormitory uniform.
* CryCute: After recovering from [[spoiler:his Overblot]], he tearfully admits that he doesn't understand or personally agree with many of the rules he enforces and that he [[IJustWantToHaveFriends wants to have fun together with his dorm members]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: He 'beheads' his dorm members for the most minor rule infringements, even if the culprits weren't aware the (often absurd) rule even existed.
* EasilyForgiven: Downplayed. Ace initially refuses to let him get off easy for nearly killing everyone during his [[spoiler: overblot enduced freak out]] though it's implied by the end of his scolding that Ace was putting on a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold tough front]] and was also moved by Riddle's [[CryCute tears]].
* FatalFlaw: {{Wrath}}. He's quick to anger and ends up punishing a lot of the dorm members simply because he was in a bad mood. This is the main reason for [[spoiler:his Overblot]].
* FieryRedhead: A redhead with an awful temper to match, though after the events of Chapter 1, Riddle has mellowed out a little.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses; it's in his very name.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: As Ace angrily informs him, his overbearing mother and suffocating childhood don't excuse his tyranny over his dorm members.
* HairAntennae: Has two locks of hair curving down from the top of his head to form a heart shape. When he's surprised or shocked, the two hair locks [[ExpressiveHair shoot up]], making him look similar to a rabbit.
* HairTriggerTemper: Riddle's anger management is sorely lacking, especially when he sees someone break the rules. After the events of Chapter 1, however, he seems to have mellowed out enough to overlook a few inconsequential infractions.
* HighPressureEmotion: When angered, his whole face turns red to complete his furious expression. He's the only character shown to do this, as it serves as a reference to the Queen of Hearts of whom he's twisted from.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Gets nicknamed "Goldfish" [[labelnote:note]]Kingyo-chan[[/labelnote]] by Floyd because of his red hair and (when angered) face, much to his annoyance.
** Rook calls him "Roi des Roses".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After he mellows out [[spoiler:following his Overblot]], he still remains a stickler for the rules, but shows moments of kindness to his juniors as well as Trey and Cater from time to time.
* LethalChef: When making his own tarts, he added oyster sauce to the mix. When Trey finds out, he starts laughing because he didn't think that Riddle would take his little joke seriously.
* MeaningfulName: Riddle's name may be a reference to either the numerous riddles in both the movie and book versions of ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' or Alice Liddel [[labelnote:note]]the Japanese pronunciation for both 'Riddle' and 'Liddel' sound similar[[/labelnote]], the girl whom Lewis Carroll befriended in life and wrote the story for, while his family name is a direct reference to the character he's twisted from—'rose' from the favourite flower of the Queen of Hearts and 'hearts' from the suit the Queen is a part of.
* TheNapoleon: The shortest known character in Heartslabyul dorm and fourth-shortest character overall, but holds a respected position as the dorm leader with a fierce personality to match.
* OffWithHisHead: His unique magic is literally called just that. However, instead of actually beheading the target, it [[PowerNullifier restricts the target from using magic]] with a locked collar until Riddle himself removes it.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Queen of Hearts, for obvious reasons.
* PowerNullifier: Riddle's unique magic, "[[OffWithHisHead Off with Your Head]]", functions as this. Any poor sap unlucky enough to be on the receiving end gets a heart-shaped collar around their neck and is unable to use their magic until Riddle removes it. This is the punishment doled out to anyone who breaks Heartslabyul's rules, unwittingly or otherwise.
** Unfortunately, the one time Riddle uses it as a defensive move and not for punishment in Chapter 2, [[spoiler:Overblot!Leona]] manages to break free through willpower and sheer force.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: In his [[spoiler:Overblot form.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:His eyes turned red in his Overbolt form.]]
* RedIsViolent: Wears mostly red and has a HairTriggerTemper. At his angriest, [[HighPressureEmotion his face even turns very]], ''[[HighPressureEmotion very]]'' [[HighPressureEmotion red]].
* SelflessWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "For the Heartslabyul test averages in the next term to put other dorms to shame."
* SeriousBusiness: How he views all 810 of the dorm rules, even if a lot of them are nonsensical.
* SquishyWizard: Riddle is known to excel in the magical arts but has quite the weak physical stats. This is shown when in one P.E. story he has a very slow running time but is very capable on the broom.
* StarterVillain: Compared to the later {{Arc Villain}}s, he's the most tame, only wanting to uphold the 810 rules of his dorm whereas the others actively conspire and have evil plans. He also is shown to be reluctant about his stricter tendencies, as he views his actions as what ''must'' be done to maintain order.
* SweetTooth: A natural product of his mother's forbidding him to eat sweets and restricting his diet all his life.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tarts. In particular, strawberry tarts.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He views himself as this, believing his DrillSergeantNasty tendencies and constant 'beheading' of his dormmates are required to maintain order.

[[folder:Ace Trappola]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heartslabyul_chara_ace_detail_a.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SeiichiroYamashita\\
'''Twisted from:''' Ace of Hearts\\
'''Grade:''' First year
A trouble-making student with a mean streak.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: He calls Deuce 'Juice' immediately after learning his name in the prologue.
* BigBrotherWorship: It is implied that Ace looks up to his older brother considering how much he talks about him. It's especially notable that he talks about him ''a lot'' compared to how much other characters talk about their own relatives (besides the ones already part of the main cast).
* BrilliantButLazy: Downplayed. Ace has a talent for memorisation and isn't unintelligent by any means, but he's also self-centred and lazy and would rather put effort into roundabout schemes and tricks than into studying and assigned work. It bites him in the ass in Chapter 3, when he [[DealWithTheDevil makes a deal with Azul]] to get good test grades but fails to attain the rank stipulated in the contract, resulting in his forced servitude.
* BrosBeforeHoes: Feels this way according to his Groom-For-A-Day SSR story, where claims he prefers to hang out with guy friends over girls after an uneventful relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
* BullyingADragon: While his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech directed at Riddle is justified, he's partially the cause of [[spoiler:Riddle's Overblot]].
* ButtMonkey: A lot of bad things tend to happen to him.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has red hair and red eyes.
* FireForgedFriends: Becomes this with Deuce, Yuu and Grim over the course of the main story.
* HiddenDepths:
** In Chapter 3, Ace shows himself to be good at acting when the situation calls for it. He was able to fool a merman guard while creating a distraction so Yuu, Deuce, Grim and Jack could break into the museum.
** Ace's ''Ghost Marriage'' SSR personal story reveals that he had a girlfriend in middle school, but ghosted her because she was too 'boring'. Ortho also notes that [[spoiler:his calling Eliza out on her actions throughout the event reveals Ace's genuine thoughts about romance, i.e. that love isn't something that can be decided [[LoveAtFirstSight at first glance]]]].
** His SSR Birthday card personal story has him talk about how his father is magicless but is very well-versed in magic tricks. Ace and his own brother also learned from him and he respected his father a lot.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Makes fun of Yuu for not being able to use magic during their first few interactions, but later punches Riddle out for doing the same thing before giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Crab [[labelnote:note]]Kani-chan[[/labelnote]], courtesy of Floyd.
** Rook calls him "Monsieur Heart".
** Is called "[[MaliciousMisnaming Potato No. 1]]" by Vil.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a good person at heart, but it may not be obvious at first.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Helps to solve problems within the other dorms in the main story just as much as he contributes to them. The only exception so far has been chapter 4 as he was PutOnABus for a majority of the story with Deuce.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Ace, as in 'the Ace in a suit of cards'. His last name Trappola is one of the earliest known card games in which the ace card is promoted as the highest suit.
* MundaneWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "For Grim to not cause any more problems!"
* OddNameOut: Unlike the other members of Heartslabyul sans Riddle, Ace's surname is not a card suit. Trappola is a type of Venetian card game in which the ace card is promoted as the highest card suit.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Hearts suit, and the Ace. If you put them together, it'll be the Ace of Hearts.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Cater gives him and Deuce a non-romantic pair name (A-Deuce) InUniverse, as they [[VitriolicBestBuds usually hang around together]] and their names both end with the ''su'' sound in Japanese.
* PutOnABus: For a good portion of the main story Chapter 4 due to going home for Winter vacation. He comes back later, though.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a scathing one to Riddle after [[TalkToTheFist punching him]], telling Riddle that his FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse at all and, as a bonus, ripping into Trey for enabling him out of pity.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Deuce’s blue, though they can swap when Deuce's 'bad boy' switch is flipped.
* TheRival: Him and Deuce.
* TheSlacker: Downplayed. He typically avoids putting in more than the bare minimum of effort, but will work eagerly if he thinks there's an incentive, such as when he helps Trey carry groceries while trying to trick him into revealing likely first-year test questions.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Downplayed due to his [[{{Tritagonist}} plot significance]] in the main story, but he is almost always seen with Deuce, even when Yuu and Grim aren’t around.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cherry pie and hamburgers.
* {{Tritagonist}}: By virtue of being [[FireForgedFriends close friends]] with Yuu and Grim, he and Deuce have significant focus in the main story outside of their dorm chapter.
* TrueCompanions: With Yuu and Grim in the main story. It's exemplified in chapter 4 when Grim [[spoiler: sends out a message for help when he and Yuu are being held hostage in the Scarabia]]. Deuce and Ace spend the entirety of the chapter using public transport to come back to the college and save them. By the time they arrive, the situation has been dealt with.
* {{Tsundere}}: While not on Jack's level, he'll usually deny caring about Yuu and Grim despite it being clearly shown through his actions, such as when he made the long trip back to Night Raven to save them in main story chapter 4. [[BadLiar Grim sees right through this everytime and says he's just not being honest]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Deuce.

->'''Voiced by:''' Chiaki Kobayashi\\
'''Twisted from:''' Two of Spades\\
'''Grade:''' First year
A serious young man who enrolled in the College with hopes of becoming an excellent magician.
----
* BookDumb: Even though he tries really hard to be an honor student, Deuce still struggles academically to the point where his grades are on par with [[TheSlacker Ace's and Grim's]].
* CannotTalkToWomen: In the ''Ghost Marriage'' event, when he tries to propose to Eliza, he ends up staying stiff and unsure of what to say, resulting in his getting slapped. In Ace's ''Ghost Marriage'' SSR personal story, he also mentions being unable to talk to any women outside of his own mother.
* CoolBike: He's a 'magical wheel' enthusiast and even tried to start an interest group as an official school club.
* {{Delinquents}}: He used to be one until he overheard his mother crying to his grandmother on the phone asking whether she brought him up the right way. He has since then changed his ways by trying to be an honor student, but when he gets mad or passionate, he sometimes slips back into his old personality.
* DelinquentHair: Formerly, though the players have yet to see it. He used to bleach his hair blonde, which is the standard delinquent hair color in {{Anime}}.
* DisappearedDad: Deuce's father is never seen or mentioned once within the game. In Chapter 1-12, Deuce mentions to Yuu and Grim that he's the only guy in the family and often helps his mother with heavy loads. It is unknown whether his father died when he was young or left his mother before he was born.
* FaceOfAThug: In Ace's ''Ghost Marriage'' SSR personal story, he admits that nobody dared to approach him in middle school due to his reputation and fearful expression.
* FireForgedFriends: Becomes this with Ace, Grim and Yuu over the course of the main story.
* GadgeteerGenius: According to [[TheSocialExpert Cater]] in Malleus's SR Laboratory Uniform card story, Deuce was the one who fixed the stereo in the Heartslabyul dorm lounge. Malleus then seeks Deuce out to get him to fix his ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}''-esque ''Gao-Gao Dragon-kun'' toy.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Floyd calls him "Mackerel" [[labelnote:note]]Saba-chan[[/labelnote]].
** Labeled "[[MaliciousMisnaming Potato No. 2]]", courtesy of Vil.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Is more often than not tasked with helping to solve problems within the other dorms in the main story. The only exception so far has been chapter 4 as he was PutOnABus for a majority of the story along with Ace.
* MeaningfulName: Deuce Spade, a.k.a. the Two of Spades.
* MommasBoy: He holds his mother in high regard and stopped being a delinquent for her sake.
* NiceGuy: When he's not activating his 'delinquent' mode, he's the most level-headed and empathetic member of the main group. This is exemplified in the main story chapter 5 when he shows the most concern for a clearly distressed Epel.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Spades suit, and the 'Two' card. Put them together and you get the Two of Spades.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Cater gives him and Ace a non-romantic pair name (A-Deuce) InUniverse, as they [[VitriolicBestBuds usually hang around together]] and their names both end with the ''su'' sound in Japanese.
* PutOnABus: For a good portion of the main story Chapter 4 due to going home for Winter vacation. He comes back later, though.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Ace’s red, though they can swap when Deuce's 'bad boy' switch is flipped.
* TheRival: There's a rivalry between him and Ace.
* SuperGullible: He can be rather naive.
** When Vil sarcastically tells him to compliment his seedlings to help them grow in his SR lab coat card story, he earnestly attempts to sweet-talk them and praises their beauty, much to Ruggie's consternation.
** He believed that all eggs used in cooking were already fertilised for ''sixteen years straight'', and suffers a HeroicBSOD when Yuu informs him that this is not the case.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Downplayed due to his [[{{Tritagonist}} plot significance]] in the main story, but he is almost always seen with Ace, even when Yuu and Grim aren’t around.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite being a former delinquent, Deuce is by far the most good natured member of Heartslabyul that sees the virtue in others (including Riddle, who he appears to respect to some degree prior to his CharacterDevelopment) and rarely acts out of selfish desire. While he does have a "bad boy" switch, he's only shown to flip it on when its necessary, such as when he needs to defend himself or others, especially in the main story. In the main quartet, he balances out Ace and Grim's selfish whims and acts as the more level-headed companion, particularly in situations where Yuu isn't speaking.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Omelette rice.
* {{Tritagonist}}: By virtue of being [[FireForgedFriends close friends]] with Yuu and Grim, he and Ace have significant focus in the main story outside of their dorm chapter.
* TrueCompanions: With Yuu and Grim in the main story. It's exemplified in chapter 4 when Grim [[spoiler: sends out a message for help when he and Yuu are being held hostage in the Scarabia]]. Deuce and Ace spend the entirety of the chapter using public transport to come back to the college and save them. By the time they arrive, the situation has been dealt with, however.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Ace.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Literal example.

->'''Voiced by:''' Tatsuyuki Kobayashi\\
'''Twisted from:''' Four of Diamonds\\
'''Grade:''' Third year
A sociable and cheerful third-year student who is always up-to-date on the latest trends. However, [[AWolfInSheepsClothing he can sometimes be cruel]].
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Expresses interest in women on numerous occasions but is obsessed with the beautiful male students of Pomefiore, namely being Vil and Epel. He says to Vil that he thought of dating him after his ploy to manipulate a [=MagiCam=] photo out of him fails and he appears to be openly flirty with male students, even calling a number of the main cast members "cute".
* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Implied; before going home for the winter break, he complains about how his two older sisters boss him around and make him run errands for them. He also states that his family values 'cuteness' to the point where he gets criticised relentlessly if his purchases don't meet their standards.
* CuteLittleFangs: He has these.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Floyd calls him "Coralfish" [[labelnote:note]]Hanadai-kun[[/labelnote]].
** Rook calls him "Monsieur [=MagiCam=]".
* UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: Is notable for using "-chan" for all the first years and "-kun" for the second years.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: While many of the students in Heartslabyul are from the Rose Kingdom, Cater is from the Land of Pyroxene.
* ManipulativeBastard: Downplayed, but one of his most prominent traits as he's seen quite often buttering up the other characters to get something out of them rather than being straight forward about what he wants. For instance, Cater showers [[FamedInStory Vil]] with compliments in hopes that he will be willing to take a photo with him to boost the popularity of his [=MagiCam=] account. He also approached Malleus with the false guise of wanting to be friends for the same reason, which Malleus notices immediately.
* MesACrowd: His unique magic allows him to create multiple copies of himself.
* MeaningfulName: Not as obvious as the rest, but Cater's name might be a variant of 'quarter' or ''quatre'', meaning 'four' in English and French respectively. His family name is a direct reference to the Diamonds suit of cards.
* MundaneWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "to peacefully enjoy my school life."
* OddNameOut: Riddle aside, Cater's name is the only one not mentioned in ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' since the ''Painting the Roses Red'' scene only depicts the Ace, Deuce (Two) and Trey (Three) of Clubs.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: A male example. He is often seen with his phone taking pictures of things he does in his school life and has a following on Magical Camera, an Instagram-esque app in Twisted Wonderland's universe.
** This bites him in the ass in the ''Happy Beans Day! Reclaim the Golden Harp!'' event, where Trey and Rook take advantage of Cater's habits to track him, Yuu and Grim down. Fortunately, Jade also used [=MagiCam=] to find and reunite with them after a quick detour to Mr. S's Mystery Shop in his Beans Camo card story.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He, Kalim and Lilia are the only members of the light music club, but they don't actually do anything music-related and just use the club room as a place to hang out and pass the time.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Diamonds suit; the loading screen specifically states that it's the Four of Diamonds.
* RealMenHateSugar: Inverted; the flashy, effeminate Cater has a genuine dislike for sweets and fears anyone finding out.
* SadClown: Implied.
** His SR ceremonial robes story has him express, once alone, that he doesn't really care about clout-chasing and only appears to put on an act for it, which wears him down greatly.
** In his SR Lab Coat personal story, it's stated that when cultivated, mandrakes will take on a shape reflecting the cultivator who put time and magic into them. Cater's first mandrake is cute in appearance, his second has unusual red coloring with a trump card design and appears to be holding a guitar… and his third is noted to look [[TheEeyore unusually pessimistic]]. When Lilia and Vil call him out on this, he gets flustered and defensive and immediately cultivates three more flashy, 'fun' mandrakes to compensate.
--->'''Cater:''' Cay-kun should always be excited and happy after all~
* TheSocialExpert: In Chapter 1, he's the one who explains to the first-years (Ace, Deuce, Grim and Yuu) the personalities of the various houses in Night Raven College. [[SubvertedTrope However]], while he has friends outside Heartslabyul, he finds Ignihyde and Diasomnia "hard to approach".
* ThirdPersonPerson: Tends to refer to himself as 'Cay-kun'. Possibly justified, given his [[MesACrowd unique magic]].

->'''Voiced by:''' Ryota Suzuki\\
'''Twisted from:''' Three of Clubs\\
'''Grade:''' Third year
The vice dorm head of Heartslabyul. In comparison to Riddle, he's much more calm and relaxed.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While rarely angered, Cater notes that Trey can bear a grudge for a long time. He can also be rather vindictive, as the Heartslabyul first-years discover when they complain about eating the same cake flavours at every Unbirthday party and imply that Trey's job is 'easy'. While [[TranquilFury appearing calm]], he simply suggests that the first-years learn to make their favourite cakes to serve at the next party, knowing full well that they'll fail and incur Riddle's wrath.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He sometimes instinctively treats Ace and Deuce like he would his younger siblings at home, ''especially'' where dental hygiene is concerned.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Downplayed, as Trey's CoolBigBro attitude is a very genuine aspect to his character. It's just that, Trey... has no problems manipulating others for his own ends (including ''[[ChildhoodFriends Riddle]]'' of all people!). Just like other students attending NRC, Trey is simply better at hiding it.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Riddle and Che'nya.
* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: It's implied that most Heartslabyul students see him as this due to his more lenient nature balancing out Riddle's strictness. In addition, he grew up taking care of his own younger siblings.
* TheGadfly: While it's downplayed, he isn't above a little mischief. When making a chestnut tart for Heartslabyul's Unbirthday party, Trey tells the first years and Grim that the secret ingredient to a good dessert is oyster sauce. They believe him for a while until he reveals that he's just joking. At the next Unbirthday party, this turns into a BrickJoke when Riddle takes it seriously and actually adds oyster sauce to his tarts, with Trey getting a good laugh about it when he finds out.
* TheGenericGuy: Subverted InUniverse. Trey insists that he's just an ordinary guy, which is certainly how most people perceive him… until they find out just how shrewd he can be.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his usually [[NiceGuy kind and reliable demeanour]], he has a shrewd, calculating side that can shock his schoolmates when first encountered. Rook and Jade are rather surprised to learn that Trey doesn't bake for Riddle simply out of affection, but to placate him somewhat so he's a little less likely to lose his temper with their dormmates.
* InSeriesNickname: Rook calls him 'Rose Chevalier' due to his close friendship with Riddle. Doubles as an OddNameOut, as he is the only non-dorm head Rook calls a 'Chevalier' rather than a 'Monsieur'.
* TheLancer: To Riddle, although he thinks that he's a bit uptight.
* MasterOfIllusion: Trey's unique magic, 'Doodle Suit', allows him to change the properties of a certain person or object. He first displays it when he changes the tarts Yuu, Ace, Deuce and Grim were eating to taste like their favourite foods, and later uses it to [[spoiler:prevent Overblot!Riddle from causing too much chaos]]. However, its effects are only temporary.
* MeaningfulName: Trey Clover, a.k.a. the Three of Clovers/Clubs.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Clubs suit, more specifically the Three of Clubs.
* SerenadeYourLover: He attempts to woo Eliza by singing to her in the ''Ghost Marriage'' event, but fails spectacularly when he fumbles and likens her veil to bleached cloth and her eyes to grapes.
* SeriousBusiness: He takes dental hygiene ''very'' seriously. Justified, considering the fact he grew up in a family running a cake shop as well as having to make sure his younger siblings keep their teeth healthy.
* SupremeChef: Everyone can attest that Trey makes the best desserts.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Don't let his friendly attitude fool you—he can be just as devious as the rest of Night Raven College's student body, if his yellow eyes didn't make it obvious.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has green hair.

!!Heartslabyul
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heartslabyul.png]]
Founded on the severity of the Queen of Hearts, Heartslabyul is known for having a long list of rules to follow as created by the Queen of Hearts. Each member is expected to follow all 810 of them; failure of even one will result in their beheading.
The dorm and its members are twisted from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
----
* FacialMarkings: All of Heartslabyul's members use makeup to apply markings on their faces to indicate their playing card suit as designated by their dorm leader, who is the sole exception.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Riddle
** TheLancer: Trey
** TheSmartGuy: Ace[[labelnote:*]]albeit a BrilliantButLazy variant[[/labelnote]]
** TheBigGuy: Deuce
** TheChick: Cater
* FlowerMotifs: Every member wears a white rose with red paint dripped on it on their dorm outfits.
* MeaningfulName: Each of the known dorm members has a name connected to their {{Playing Card Motif|s}}.
* PlayingCardMotifs: As per a dorm themed after the cards from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]—Heartslabyul's house colours are red and black, but all of them are generally decent people, if not [[NominalHero nominal heroes]] during their worst moments. [[spoiler:Unless you're talking about Riddle in his Overblot form.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NatsukiHanae\\
'''Twisted from:''' The Queen of Hearts\\
'''Grade:''' Second year
The dorm leader of Heartslabyul. He is a strict follower of the laws instated by the Queen of Hearts.
----
* AbusiveParents: [[MyBelovedSmother His]] [[EducationMama mother]] in particular micromanaged him to a fault, resulting in his attitude to this day.
* AlliterativeName: '''R'''iddle '''R'''osehearts.
* BerserkButton: As one poor unfortunate ghost found out during the ''Ghost Marriage'' event, Riddle absolutely ''hates'' it when someone calls him short. Said ghost ended up not only being collared by Off with Your Head, he was also set on fire.
* BrokenTears: After recovering from [[spoiler:his Overblot]], combined with CryCute.
* CantTakeCriticism: Prior to his CharacterDevelopment.
* CatchPhrase: He has different variations of saying he is the “most correct”.
* CharacterDevelopment: After [[spoiler:overblotting]] and the scolding he receives from Ace, he relaxes on enforcing the rules a bit and is shown to be slightly less strict than he was before -- though his [[HairTriggerTemper harsher]] [[ControlFreak tendencies]] don't go away ''completely'' and he still threatens to behead people who do not follow the rules.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Trey and Che'nya.
* ControlFreak: He has every single one of the dorm rules memorised and follows them obsessively, quickly losing his temper and punishing his dorm residents if they break even the most obscure, inconsequential rule. He eventually loosens up a little after [[spoiler:recovering from his Overblot]].
* CoolCrown: He wears one similar to the Queen of Hearts with his dormitory uniform.
* CryCute: After recovering from [[spoiler:his Overblot]], he tearfully admits that he doesn't understand or personally agree with many of the rules he enforces and that he [[IJustWantToHaveFriends wants to have fun together with his dorm members]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: He 'beheads' his dorm members for the most minor rule infringements, even if the culprits weren't aware the (often absurd) rule even existed.
* EasilyForgiven: Downplayed. Ace initially refuses to let him get off easy for nearly killing everyone during his [[spoiler: overblot enduced freak out]] though it's implied by the end of his scolding that Ace was putting on a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold tough front]] and was also moved by Riddle's [[CryCute tears]].
* FatalFlaw: {{Wrath}}. He's quick to anger and ends up punishing a lot of the dorm members simply because he was in a bad mood. This is the main reason for [[spoiler:his Overblot]].
* FieryRedhead: A redhead with an awful temper to match, though after the events of Chapter 1, Riddle has mellowed out a little.
* FlowerMotifs: Roses; it's in his very name.
* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: As Ace angrily informs him, his overbearing mother and suffocating childhood don't excuse his tyranny over his dorm members.
* HairAntennae: Has two locks of hair curving down from the top of his head to form a heart shape. When he's surprised or shocked, the two hair locks [[ExpressiveHair shoot up]], making him look similar to a rabbit.
* HairTriggerTemper: Riddle's anger management is sorely lacking, especially when he sees someone break the rules. After the events of Chapter 1, however, he seems to have mellowed out enough to overlook a few inconsequential infractions.
* HighPressureEmotion: When angered, his whole face turns red to complete his furious expression. He's the only character shown to do this, as it serves as a reference to the Queen of Hearts of whom he's twisted from.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Gets nicknamed "Goldfish" [[labelnote:note]]Kingyo-chan[[/labelnote]] by Floyd because of his red hair and (when angered) face, much to his annoyance.
** Rook calls him "Roi des Roses".
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After he mellows out [[spoiler:following his Overblot]], he still remains a stickler for the rules, but shows moments of kindness to his juniors as well as Trey and Cater from time to time.
* LethalChef: When making his own tarts, he added oyster sauce to the mix. When Trey finds out, he starts laughing because he didn't think that Riddle would take his little joke seriously.
* MeaningfulName: Riddle's name may be a reference to either the numerous riddles in both the movie and book versions of ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' or Alice Liddel [[labelnote:note]]the Japanese pronunciation for both 'Riddle' and 'Liddel' sound similar[[/labelnote]], the girl whom Lewis Carroll befriended in life and wrote the story for, while his family name is a direct reference to the character he's twisted from—'rose' from the favourite flower of the Queen of Hearts and 'hearts' from the suit the Queen is a part of.
* TheNapoleon: The shortest known character in Heartslabyul dorm and fourth-shortest character overall, but holds a respected position as the dorm leader with a fierce personality to match.
* OffWithHisHead: His unique magic is literally called just that. However, instead of actually beheading the target, it [[PowerNullifier restricts the target from using magic]] with a locked collar until Riddle himself removes it.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Queen of Hearts, for obvious reasons.
* PowerNullifier: Riddle's unique magic, "[[OffWithHisHead Off with Your Head]]", functions as this. Any poor sap unlucky enough to be on the receiving end gets a heart-shaped collar around their neck and is unable to use their magic until Riddle removes it. This is the punishment doled out to anyone who breaks Heartslabyul's rules, unwittingly or otherwise.
** Unfortunately, the one time Riddle uses it as a defensive move and not for punishment in Chapter 2, [[spoiler:Overblot!Leona]] manages to break free through willpower and sheer force.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: In his [[spoiler:Overblot form.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[spoiler:His eyes turned red in his Overbolt form.]]
* RedIsViolent: Wears mostly red and has a HairTriggerTemper. At his angriest, [[HighPressureEmotion his face even turns very]], ''[[HighPressureEmotion very]]'' [[HighPressureEmotion red]].
* SelflessWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "For the Heartslabyul test averages in the next term to put other dorms to shame."
* SeriousBusiness: How he views all 810 of the dorm rules, even if a lot of them are nonsensical.
* SquishyWizard: Riddle is known to excel in the magical arts but has quite the weak physical stats. This is shown when in one P.E. story he has a very slow running time but is very capable on the broom.
* StarterVillain: Compared to the later {{Arc Villain}}s, he's the most tame, only wanting to uphold the 810 rules of his dorm whereas the others actively conspire and have evil plans. He also is shown to be reluctant about his stricter tendencies, as he views his actions as what ''must'' be done to maintain order.
* SweetTooth: A natural product of his mother's forbidding him to eat sweets and restricting his diet all his life.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tarts. In particular, strawberry tarts.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He views himself as this, believing his DrillSergeantNasty tendencies and constant 'beheading' of his dormmates are required to maintain order.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SeiichiroYamashita\\
'''Twisted from:''' Ace of Hearts\\
'''Grade:''' First year
A trouble-making student with a mean streak.
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: He calls Deuce 'Juice' immediately after learning his name in the prologue.
* BigBrotherWorship: It is implied that Ace looks up to his older brother considering how much he talks about him. It's especially notable that he talks about him ''a lot'' compared to how much other characters talk about their own relatives (besides the ones already part of the main cast).
* BrilliantButLazy: Downplayed. Ace has a talent for memorisation and isn't unintelligent by any means, but he's also self-centred and lazy and would rather put effort into roundabout schemes and tricks than into studying and assigned work. It bites him in the ass in Chapter 3, when he [[DealWithTheDevil makes a deal with Azul]] to get good test grades but fails to attain the rank stipulated in the contract, resulting in his forced servitude.
* BrosBeforeHoes: Feels this way according to his Groom-For-A-Day SSR story, where claims he prefers to hang out with guy friends over girls after an uneventful relationship with his ex-girlfriend.
* BullyingADragon: While his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech directed at Riddle is justified, he's partially the cause of [[spoiler:Riddle's Overblot]].
* ButtMonkey: A lot of bad things tend to happen to him.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has red hair and red eyes.
* FireForgedFriends: Becomes this with Deuce, Yuu and Grim over the course of the main story.
* HiddenDepths:
** In Chapter 3, Ace shows himself to be good at acting when the situation calls for it. He was able to fool a merman guard while creating a distraction so Yuu, Deuce, Grim and Jack could break into the museum.
** Ace's ''Ghost Marriage'' SSR personal story reveals that he had a girlfriend in middle school, but ghosted her because she was too 'boring'. Ortho also notes that [[spoiler:his calling Eliza out on her actions throughout the event reveals Ace's genuine thoughts about romance, i.e. that love isn't something that can be decided [[LoveAtFirstSight at first glance]]]].
** His SSR Birthday card personal story has him talk about how his father is magicless but is very well-versed in magic tricks. Ace and his own brother also learned from him and he respected his father a lot.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Makes fun of Yuu for not being able to use magic during their first few interactions, but later punches Riddle out for doing the same thing before giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Crab [[labelnote:note]]Kani-chan[[/labelnote]], courtesy of Floyd.
** Rook calls him "Monsieur Heart".
** Is called "[[MaliciousMisnaming Potato No. 1]]" by Vil.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a good person at heart, but it may not be obvious at first.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Helps to solve problems within the other dorms in the main story just as much as he contributes to them. The only exception so far has been chapter 4 as he was PutOnABus for a majority of the story with Deuce.
* MeaningfulName: His name is Ace, as in 'the Ace in a suit of cards'. His last name Trappola is one of the earliest known card games in which the ace card is promoted as the highest suit.
* MundaneWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "For Grim to not cause any more problems!"
* OddNameOut: Unlike the other members of Heartslabyul sans Riddle, Ace's surname is not a card suit. Trappola is a type of Venetian card game in which the ace card is promoted as the highest card suit.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Hearts suit, and the Ace. If you put them together, it'll be the Ace of Hearts.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Cater gives him and Deuce a non-romantic pair name (A-Deuce) InUniverse, as they [[VitriolicBestBuds usually hang around together]] and their names both end with the ''su'' sound in Japanese.
* PutOnABus: For a good portion of the main story Chapter 4 due to going home for Winter vacation. He comes back later, though.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a scathing one to Riddle after [[TalkToTheFist punching him]], telling Riddle that his FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse at all and, as a bonus, ripping into Trey for enabling him out of pity.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Deuce’s blue, though they can swap when Deuce's 'bad boy' switch is flipped.
* TheRival: Him and Deuce.
* TheSlacker: Downplayed. He typically avoids putting in more than the bare minimum of effort, but will work eagerly if he thinks there's an incentive, such as when he helps Trey carry groceries while trying to trick him into revealing likely first-year test questions.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Downplayed due to his [[{{Tritagonist}} plot significance]] in the main story, but he is almost always seen with Deuce, even when Yuu and Grim aren’t around.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cherry pie and hamburgers.
* {{Tritagonist}}: By virtue of being [[FireForgedFriends close friends]] with Yuu and Grim, he and Deuce have significant focus in the main story outside of their dorm chapter.
* TrueCompanions: With Yuu and Grim in the main story. It's exemplified in chapter 4 when Grim [[spoiler: sends out a message for help when he and Yuu are being held hostage in the Scarabia]]. Deuce and Ace spend the entirety of the chapter using public transport to come back to the college and save them. By the time they arrive, the situation has been dealt with.
* {{Tsundere}}: While not on Jack's level, he'll usually deny caring about Yuu and Grim despite it being clearly shown through his actions, such as when he made the long trip back to Night Raven to save them in main story chapter 4. [[BadLiar Grim sees right through this everytime and says he's just not being honest]].
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Deuce.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Riddle as he feels that being punished for even the most minor of infractions is going way too far. Riddle does not take it well.

** Floyd calls him "Mackerel" [[labelnote:note]]Saba-chan[[/labelnote]].
** Labeled "[[MaliciousMisnaming Potato No. 2]]", courtesy of Vil.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Is more often than not tasked with helping to solve problems within the other dorms in the main story. The only exception so far has been chapter 4 as he was PutOnABus for a majority of the story along with Ace.
* MeaningfulName: Deuce Spade, a.k.a. the Two of Spades.
* MommasBoy: He holds his mother in high regard and stopped being a delinquent for her sake.
* NiceGuy: When he's not activating his 'delinquent' mode, he's the most level-headed and empathetic member of the main group. This is exemplified in the main story chapter 5 when he shows the most concern for a clearly distressed Epel.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Spades suit, and the 'Two' card. Put them together and you get the Two of Spades.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: Cater gives him and Ace a non-romantic pair name (A-Deuce) InUniverse, as they [[VitriolicBestBuds usually hang around together]] and their names both end with the ''su'' sound in Japanese.
* PutOnABus: For a good portion of the main story Chapter 4 due to going home for Winter vacation. He comes back later, though.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Ace’s red, though they can swap when Deuce's 'bad boy' switch is flipped.
* TheRival: There's a rivalry between him and Ace.
* SuperGullible: He can be rather naive.
** When Vil sarcastically tells him to compliment his seedlings to help them grow in his SR lab coat card story, he earnestly attempts to sweet-talk them and praises their beauty, much to Ruggie's consternation.
** He believed that all eggs used in cooking were already fertilised for ''sixteen years straight'', and suffers a HeroicBSOD when Yuu informs him that this is not the case.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Downplayed due to his [[{{Tritagonist}} plot significance]] in the main story, but he is almost always seen with Ace, even when Yuu and Grim aren’t around.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Despite being a former delinquent, Deuce is by far the most good natured member of Heartslabyul that sees the virtue in others (including Riddle, who he appears to respect to some degree prior to his CharacterDevelopment) and rarely acts out of selfish desire. While he does have a "bad boy" switch, he's only shown to flip it on when its necessary, such as when he needs to defend himself or others, especially in the main story. In the main quartet, he balances out Ace and Grim's selfish whims and acts as the more level-headed companion, particularly in situations where Yuu isn't speaking.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Omelette rice.
* {{Tritagonist}}: By virtue of being [[FireForgedFriends close friends]] with Yuu and Grim, he and Ace have significant focus in the main story outside of their dorm chapter.
* TrueCompanions: With Yuu and Grim in the main story. It's exemplified in chapter 4 when Grim [[spoiler: sends out a message for help when he and Yuu are being held hostage in the Scarabia]]. Deuce and Ace spend the entirety of the chapter using public transport to come back to the college and save them. By the time they arrive, the situation has been dealt with, however.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Ace.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Literal example.

[[folder:Cater Diamond]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heartslabyul_chara_cater_detail_a.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Tatsuyuki Kobayashi\\
'''Twisted from:''' Four of Diamonds\\
'''Grade:''' Third year
A sociable and cheerful third-year student who is always up-to-date on the latest trends. However, [[AWolfInSheepsClothing he can sometimes be cruel]].
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: Expresses interest in women on numerous occasions but is obsessed with the beautiful male students of Pomefiore, namely being Vil and Epel. He says to Vil that he thought of dating him after his ploy to manipulate a [=MagiCam=] photo out of him fails and he appears to be openly flirty with male students, even calling a number of the main cast members "cute".
* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: Implied; before going home for the winter break, he complains about how his two older sisters boss him around and make him run errands for them. He also states that his family values 'cuteness' to the point where he gets criticised relentlessly if his purchases don't meet their standards.
* CuteLittleFangs: He has these.
* InSeriesNickname:
** Floyd calls him "Coralfish" [[labelnote:note]]Hanadai-kun[[/labelnote]].
** Rook calls him "Monsieur [=MagiCam=]".
* UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics: Is notable for using "-chan" for all the first years and "-kun" for the second years.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: While many of the students in Heartslabyul are from the Rose Kingdom, Cater is from the Land of Pyroxene.
* ManipulativeBastard: Downplayed, but one of his most prominent traits as he's seen quite often buttering up the other characters to get something out of them rather than being straight forward about what he wants. For instance, Cater showers [[FamedInStory Vil]] with compliments in hopes that he will be willing to take a photo with him to boost the popularity of his [=MagiCam=] account. He also approached Malleus with the false guise of wanting to be friends for the same reason, which Malleus notices immediately.
* MesACrowd: His unique magic allows him to create multiple copies of himself.
* MeaningfulName: Not as obvious as the rest, but Cater's name might be a variant of 'quarter' or ''quatre'', meaning 'four' in English and French respectively. His family name is a direct reference to the Diamonds suit of cards.
* MundaneWish: His wish in the ''Wish Upon A Star'' event is "to peacefully enjoy my school life."
* OddNameOut: Riddle aside, Cater's name is the only one not mentioned in ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' since the ''Painting the Roses Red'' scene only depicts the Ace, Deuce (Two) and Trey (Three) of Clubs.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: A male example. He is often seen with his phone taking pictures of things he does in his school life and has a following on Magical Camera, an Instagram-esque app in Twisted Wonderland's universe.
** This bites him in the ass in the ''Happy Beans Day! Reclaim the Golden Harp!'' event, where Trey and Rook take advantage of Cater's habits to track him, Yuu and Grim down. Fortunately, Jade also used [=MagiCam=] to find and reunite with them after a quick detour to Mr. S's Mystery Shop in his Beans Camo card story.
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He, Kalim and Lilia are the only members of the light music club, but they don't actually do anything music-related and just use the club room as a place to hang out and pass the time.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Diamonds suit; the loading screen specifically states that it's the Four of Diamonds.
* RealMenHateSugar: Inverted; the flashy, effeminate Cater has a genuine dislike for sweets and fears anyone finding out.
* SadClown: Implied.
** His SR ceremonial robes story has him express, once alone, that he doesn't really care about clout-chasing and only appears to put on an act for it, which wears him down greatly.
** In his SR Lab Coat personal story, it's stated that when cultivated, mandrakes will take on a shape reflecting the cultivator who put time and magic into them. Cater's first mandrake is cute in appearance, his second has unusual red coloring with a trump card design and appears to be holding a guitar… and his third is noted to look [[TheEeyore unusually pessimistic]]. When Lilia and Vil call him out on this, he gets flustered and defensive and immediately cultivates three more flashy, 'fun' mandrakes to compensate.
--->'''Cater:''' Cay-kun should always be excited and happy after all~
* TheSocialExpert: In Chapter 1, he's the one who explains to the first-years (Ace, Deuce, Grim and Yuu) the personalities of the various houses in Night Raven College. [[SubvertedTrope However]], while he has friends outside Heartslabyul, he finds Ignihyde and Diasomnia "hard to approach".
* ThirdPersonPerson: Tends to refer to himself as 'Cay-kun'. Possibly justified, given his [[MesACrowd unique magic]].

[[folder:Trey Clover]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heartslabyul_chara_trey_detail_a_8.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Ryota Suzuki\\
'''Twisted from:''' Three of Clubs\\
'''Grade:''' Third year
The vice dorm head of Heartslabyul. In comparison to Riddle, he's much more calm and relaxed.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While rarely angered, Cater notes that Trey can bear a grudge for a long time. He can also be rather vindictive, as the Heartslabyul first-years discover when they complain about eating the same cake flavours at every Unbirthday party and imply that Trey's job is 'easy'. While [[TranquilFury appearing calm]], he simply suggests that the first-years learn to make their favourite cakes to serve at the next party, knowing full well that they'll fail and incur Riddle's wrath.
* BigBrotherInstinct: He sometimes instinctively treats Ace and Deuce like he would his younger siblings at home, ''especially'' where dental hygiene is concerned.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Downplayed, as Trey's CoolBigBro attitude is a very genuine aspect to his character. It's just that, Trey... has no problems manipulating others for his own ends (including ''[[ChildhoodFriends Riddle]]'' of all people!). Just like other students attending NRC, Trey is simply better at hiding it.
* ChildhoodFriends: With Riddle and Che'nya.
* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: It's implied that most Heartslabyul students see him as this due to his more lenient nature balancing out Riddle's strictness. In addition, he grew up taking care of his own younger siblings.
* TheGadfly: While it's downplayed, he isn't above a little mischief. When making a chestnut tart for Heartslabyul's Unbirthday party, Trey tells the first years and Grim that the secret ingredient to a good dessert is oyster sauce. They believe him for a while until he reveals that he's just joking. At the next Unbirthday party, this turns into a BrickJoke when Riddle takes it seriously and actually adds oyster sauce to his tarts, with Trey getting a good laugh about it when he finds out.
* TheGenericGuy: Subverted InUniverse. Trey insists that he's just an ordinary guy, which is certainly how most people perceive him… until they find out just how shrewd he can be.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his usually [[NiceGuy kind and reliable demeanour]], he has a shrewd, calculating side that can shock his schoolmates when first encountered. Rook and Jade are rather surprised to learn that Trey doesn't bake for Riddle simply out of affection, but to placate him somewhat so he's a little less likely to lose his temper with their dormmates.
* InSeriesNickname: Rook calls him 'Rose Chevalier' due to his close friendship with Riddle. Doubles as an OddNameOut, as he is the only non-dorm head Rook calls a 'Chevalier' rather than a 'Monsieur'.
* TheLancer: To Riddle, although he thinks that he's a bit uptight.
* MasterOfIllusion: Trey's unique magic, 'Doodle Suit', allows him to change the properties of a certain person or object. He first displays it when he changes the tarts Yuu, Ace, Deuce and Grim were eating to taste like their favourite foods, and later uses it to [[spoiler:prevent Overblot!Riddle from causing too much chaos]]. However, its effects are only temporary.
* MeaningfulName: Trey Clover, a.k.a. the Three of Clovers/Clubs.
* PlayingCardMotifs: The Clubs suit, more specifically the Three of Clubs.
* SerenadeYourLover: He attempts to woo Eliza by singing to her in the ''Ghost Marriage'' event, but fails spectacularly when he fumbles and likens her veil to bleached cloth and her eyes to grapes.
* SeriousBusiness: He takes dental hygiene ''very'' seriously. Justified, considering the fact he grew up in a family running a cake shop as well as having to make sure his younger siblings keep their teeth healthy.
* SupremeChef: Everyone can attest that Trey makes the best desserts.
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Don't let his friendly attitude fool you—he can be just as devious as the rest of Night Raven College's student body, if his yellow eyes didn't make it obvious.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: He has green hair.
