* 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.

** "Labyul" was chose because it resembles the word "labrinth", going in line with the maze-like aesthetic of "Alice in Wonderland".

* 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]].



* 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]].

* AnimalLover: A minor case. Riddle seems to have a fondness for hedgehogs that exceeds what is necessary from the rules, plays with the little mouse that was sleeping in the tea pot during the unbirthday party, and takes great care of the horses (notably his own horse, Vorpal) in his equestrian club.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Going by his rants toward Riddle and Eliza, Ace seems to be a strong believer that no matter how bad one's backstory is it will never justify one going to absolute extremes.



** 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]]]].

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When talking about the Queen of Hearts Ace commends her for being a severe ruler, saying that he would much prefer a ruler like her to one who is simply kind. Soon afterward Ace proceeds to find himself on the bad side of Heartsabyul's current ControlFreak of a dorm leader, at first because of his own misdoings but later for unintentionally breaking nonsensical rules.

* PrematurelyGreyHaired: Played with; as well as a temporary variant. [[spoiler: Riddle's hair turns white in Episode 6 not because of severe stress and trauma, but because he got too close to the Underworld during his battle with Overblot!Idia and Phantom!Ortho. Had he stayed there for a minute longer, the Underworld's RapidAging effects would have taken a larger toll on him. Thanks to Azul's quick judgment, however, he was able to escape before the aging took a more permanent effect. He sports white hair up until the final chapters of the Ignihyde arc, looking youthful in spite of it.]]
** [[spoiler: In typical Twst fashion, this also seems to serve as a reference to the White Queen of the Wonderland lore, who also possessed strikingly white hair.]]

* UnknownRival: Riddle doesn't realize that Azul sees him as an academic rival, which is somewhat justified, as their values towards academics differ from one another. Riddle expends immense focus on his studies, while Azul multi-tasks and often prioritizes his businesses over school. This leads to the following, hilarious exchange:
---> '''Azul''': Well, it's mere fact that I can't ever seem to take over the number one spot from you.
---> '''Riddle''': ...Huh? You were trying to compete with me?
---> '''Azul''': Is that not allowed...?

Their dorm SSRs possess those elements as well, even having Duo Magic with each other, with Riddle's card bearing more focus on attack while Azul's focuses more on healing and defense.

It takes a while for them work things out and finally treat each other as equals.]]
