Pomefiore
The dorm and its members are twisted from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
- Gentle Touch vs. Firm Hand: Rook is more likely to offer gentle encouragement/advice to Epel and the other students, all while cheerfully praising their efforts. On the other hand, Vil is more likely to strictly criticize other students on their flaws, pushing them to be better, if not their very best.
- Guyliner: Students from Pomefiore are known to spend time making sure they always look presentable, to the point where they use 'wait time' in Magift tournaments just to reapply makeup.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: The students here in general seem to be more on the feminine side, save for Epel.
- Leitmotif: The Pomefiore theme is a waltz, showing not only the dorm's desire for beauty, but their history as the oldest dorm in Night Raven College.
- Meaningful Name: According to the guidebook, "Pome" refers to fruits similar to apples and "Fiore" is Italian for "flowers". The dorm's additional interest in potions as well as Vil's unique magic also plays into the theme of poisonous apples.
- Princely Young Man: Pomefiore students tend to give off an air of princely elegance, despite none of them actually being princes.
- Rich Kids: Pomefiore students are generally known to come from well-off families.
Vil Schoenheit
The dorm leader of Pomefiore, Vil is a first-class model and actor renowned for his beauty. Vil's confidence in his beauty is bolstered by his diligence: he consistently maintains his beauty, his academic standing, and work life with strict regimens. He has high standards for himself, but also for others, especially for those in his dorm and Epel, who is under his tutelage. Beautiful, ambitious, and persistent, he truly believes he is the fairest of them all.
- Agent Peacock: Vil is objectively the most effeminate student in the main cast, but he still manages to be a badass when put in a situation that calls for it.
- Ambiguously Gay: Camp mannerisms aside, when Cater hits on him in one story, he turns him down not on the basis of his gender, but on the fact that Cater wouldn't be able to afford to be his boyfriend. Vil apparently expects any partners he might have to spoil him with expensive gifts. He also uses the pronoun "atashi", which is usually feminine and, in recent years, has come to be associated with elegant gay men.
- Always Second Best: Like the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs whom he is based on, he's considered second best to the Twisted world's equivalent of Snow White, represented by Neige LeBlanche.
- Animal Motifs: Peacocks. Peacocks are symbolic of beauty, grace and nobility, which reflect Vil's traits since he is obsessed with looking more beautiful than his rival Neige. In his Overblot form, he has a peacock feathers design on his crown, cape and boots.
- Badass in Distress: He and all the other overblot victims are captured by S.T.Y.X. in the Ignihyde arc.
- Bad Powers, Good People: "Fairest Of Them All" in practice allows one to curse an object or individual with no (current) evidence that the spell can also be used for blessings. While Vil has used this ability in Drill Sergeant Nasty / Disproportionate Retribution situations and even maliciously in the case of Neige, he's still shown to be a decent person at heart.
- Both Sides Have a Point: To do with Vil's conflict with Epel in Chapter 5. While Epel did start the fight early in the year and had to obey Vil because of how in NRC, Asskicking Leads to Leadership, Epel snapped and pointed out that he doesn't even want to participate in the VDC, but forced to comply with many of Vil's harsh demands for Vil's own personal agenda of being able to defeat Neige at one point or another. On the other hand, Vil also pointed out that Epel shouldn't fully embrace the notion that strength is all that there is to becoming stronger. But with Vil's Drill Sergeant Nasty methods, Epel took a while to get the idea to sink in his mind.
- Brutal Honesty: Goes with being Drill Sergeant Nasty levels of strict. He doesn't hesitate to dole out scathing criticisms, although he does have genuinely good intentions of helping his victims improve themselves.
- Childhood Friends: With Jack. They were neighbors back in their hometown. As well as Jack being one of the few people who saw Vil for who he truly is beyond his Typecast role.
- Cool Crown: As part of his dorm outfit.
- Curse: His unique magic, "Fairest One of All", lets him cast a curse of his choosing on any object he touches, and even he cannot lift the curse until the Curse Escape Clause is fulfilled. In Chapter 5, he curses the snacks brought to the VDC training camp so that anyone who eats them (thereby defying his prescribed camp diet) will be paralysed until morning.
- Cruel to Be Kind: This is one of the reasons why he gave a harsh regiment for the group while preparing for the VDC, why he was harsh to Epel and set high standards for others in Pomefiore. Vil isn't going to coddle on people just because they are complaining but if it helps people to grow, he doesn't mind being painted as the bad guy for the while.
- The Dandy: Not only is Vil intensely focused on his own appearance and presentation, to the exclusion of almost all else, but he demands the same of all the other students in Pomefiore.
- Demonic Possession: During the second Halloween event, Endless Halloween Night. Vil is one of the many students kidnapped and taken over by ghosts. His ghost in particular makes him lament over how beautiful he is, all while genuinely crying, much to the chagrin of Sebek and even Possessed!Cater.
- Designated Villain: Deconstructed In-Universe. Early on, Vil gained the ire from both fans and the main characters due to how he treated Epel and many considered him a villainous person. It's revealed that Vil absolutely loathes the notion of being seen as a villain and have been type-casted as such for years, to a point he nearly got bullied for his roles and drives him to overblot.
- Does Not Like Spam: Mayonaise. In his Birthday Personal story, he reveals that he once had horrible acne from having mayonaise with salad for three days and the experience deprived him of the joy of mayonaise. Explanation
- Don't Look At Me: Subverted. He's not hideous, but he suffers a mental breakdown as he screams this to Kalim, Rook, Grim and Yuu and thinks how ugly he is, not only in appearance but in personality after he fails to poison Neige.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty:
- He won't hesitate to use force in making sure Pomefiore students follow proper dinner etiquette, as poor Epel found out during his first dorm dinner and throughout Chapter 5.
- Not even his Childhood Friend Jack Howl is able to escape from his temperament when Vil finds him wearing his ceremonial robes wrong.
- During the Fairy Gala event, he's this along with Crewel when training Leona, Jamil and Kalim to walk like fairies for their infiltration mission. This includes using magic to hit them and making them do extreme exercises when they fail.
- Driven to Suicide: An unsuccessful variant that would have doubled as Murder-Suicide had it gone through. When he's outed for trying to poison Neige Vil overblots at the thought of being seen at his worst and being forever viewed as a villain, causing him to use his unique magic to poison himself as well as everyone involved with his team since they were the ones who knew of his true motives. Thankfully Deuce is able to unlocked "Bet The Limit" at the nick of time.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Or at least Cater and faceless mob characters from events and personal stories seem to suggest.
- Femme Fatalons: He wears golden claw rings over each of his fingers in his Overblot form.
- Famed In-Story: Has millions of followers on Magical Camera, and his presence is valued to the point where it costs quite a large sum to take a photo with him, much less have him endorse something for you.
- Fatal Flaw: Pride. Vil is as obsessed with being the most popular star as he is with being beautiful, which motivates him to participate in the VDC so that he can upstage his rival Neige. When it looked like that this will not happen even after weeks of strictly training his group Vil resorts to poisoning Neige, and when he is exposed, he overblots at the thought of being seen at his worst and remaining a villain.
- Foil: To Riddle as a Dorm Leader and overblot victim. Both are Dorm Leaders who earned the spot by their own merits and they both want the students in their dorms to be the best that they can be. Both are also twisted from Queens of the respective series they are inspired from. The differences being:
- Riddle grew up with an Abusive Parent who micromanaged his activities to a fault, leaving him little choice but to obey. Vil, on the other hand, has Good Parents who supported and cheered him up, and undergoes harsh training and diet on his own volition to better himself.
- Riddle upholds the many, many rules dictated by the Queen of Hearts for the sake of the dorm, and prompts the students under Heartslabyul to do the same (Albeit in a zealously strict manner early in the story). Vil, meanwhile, only wants to see the students of Pomefiore to be the best that they can be and uphold the Pomefiore name. If he has to be Cruel to Be Kind to ensure their growth, so be it.
- The reason Riddle overblotted was how his wrath took over him, frustrated at how his attempt to uphold order in Heartslabyul isn't working the way he wanted it to be as it led to most of the Heartslabyul students fearing and hating him. Vil, meanwhile, overblotted from a cumulation of his fear at how all the hard work he prepared for the VDC can get rendered into All for Nothing added onto his resentment at Neige, and was caught attempting to cheat his way in a last ditch effort to get an edge against Neige.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Much like the Evil Queen's relationship with Snow White, he has a strong dislike of Neige (who is twisted from Snow White) based on his jealousy toward Neige's being considered "the fairest of them all". Vil even becomes visibly angry when Neige is mentioned.
- Hard Work Hardly Works: Has come to start believing in this in distraught and despair at how Neige keeps effortlessly winning against him. The last straw being the moment when Neige's rehearsal performance won over the staff so quickly and becomes one of the factors that led to Vil overblotting. Fortunately, he gets better once he recovers from the overblot.
- High-Heel Power: The head of the Pomefiore dorm and a skilled, powerful wizard that wears 13cm heels in his school and dorm outfits.
- In-Series Nickname:
- Floyd calls him "Betta" note.
- Rook calls him "Roi de Poison".
- Neige calls him Vi-Kun.
- In Touch with His Feminine Side: He's a Bishōnen who wears makeup and is obsessed with being beautiful. He also refers to himself with the typically feminine pronoun atashi. In fact, Vil's a firm believer that things such as clothing and dancing shouldn't be categorized as "girly" or "manly".
- Jerkass Has a Point: Sure, he might not be very tolerant in his treatment with Epel, but the Pomefiore chapter reveals that Epel starts a fight with him first when Vil hasn't said anything particularly offending towards him just because he assumed that Vil is underestimating him for his petite appearance since the Entrance Ceremony, and it's implied that Epel had been just as rude to other students who tried to greet him beforehand. Vil has a point that Epel is unnecessarily rude and that there's a time, place and opportunity to act on his aggressions. That said, he does make a deal that if Epel managed to win against Vil once he is sorted in Pomefiore, he can do what he wants.
- Knight of Cerebus: Vil is the first overblot victim that explicity wanted someone dead. The next to chapters following his also have much higher stakes than previous chapters such as kidnapping, human experimentation, the possible end of the world, the Death of a Child, and the passing of a loved one.
- Malicious Misnaming: Calls both Ace and Deuce "Potato", numbering them 'Potato No. 1' and 'Potato No. 2' respectively to differentiate them while never bothering to call them by their actual names, much to the duo's dismay.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Vil places an enormous emphasis on his appearance and always wears elegant, fashionable clothing. He expects the same thing from the rest of Pomefiore's students. Ultimately subverted, however, because this proclivity contributes to Vil being Typecast as a villian, which he despises.
- Master Poisoner: Vil's Unique Magic "Fairest One of All". Not only he can cast curses, but he can create a poisonous liquid that evaporates into a mist. If anyone inhales it, their bodies are paralyzed in a second. The poison can also be used to kill people, such as overblot Vil's failed attempt to use it on Rook, Epel, Deuce, Ace, Kalim, Jamil, Grim, Yuu and himself.
- Mean Character, Nice Actor: As a child, because of how he gets type-casted as a villain in many roles he is in, it caused others outside of his family and Jack to believe that Vil is just as villainous as the characters he played as, to a point he nearly got bullied for it if not for Jack. In reality, while prone to some questionable actions Vil is actually a very decent individual who wished to branch out of being type-casted as one.
- Meaningful Name: His first name could be taken from "villain"/"villainous"/"evil", and "schönheit" is actually the German word for "beauty"—befitting one based on the Evil Queen from Snow White who was obsessed with beauty to the point of committing villainous acts. Additionally, his first name resembles the Roman numeral for the number 7.
- Might Makes Right: Vil seems to be a believer in this since, after beating Epel in a fight that Epel challenged him too, he states that the weak must follow the strong and from that point on begins to forcibly take control of Epel's life and mannerisms at the campus. Vil agrees to stop this if Epel can ever become stronger than him.
- Narcissist: Believes he's the most beautiful of them all—fairest, if you want to put it that way—and wants every member of Pomefiore to be beautiful too.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Chapter 6, Vil's speech about how you shouldn't give up in trying to change a zero to a 100%, even if only in the slimmest percentage, became the catalyst for Ortho to open up Tartarus and manipulated by Phantom! Ortho to do so, and Phantom! Ortho, now that he has already taken over his android self's body, dragged Idia to overblot together with him.
- Not So Above It All: Though initially suspicious at how Ortho and the others got the tickets to the fabled Playful Land in Stage in Playful Land, he is just as excited as them at the idea of being able to see the famed theater stage of the amusement park in person.
- Pet the Dog:
- He helped Epel's family farm by promoting his family's specialty Apple Juice through his Magicam account.
- Vil is also in cordial terms with Malleus and is the only one who tried to include him into dorm meetings whenever possible. Vil is one of the Dorm leaders that Malleus had some respect and interact amiably with, the other being Riddle and Kalim.
- Rapid Aging: After defeating the overblotted Idia and Ortho, Vil jumped after Idia and Grim who are both about to fall down to the underworld and experienced this in the process due to getting too close to the underworld. While Vil takes it to stride to say what he wants to say to Idia, the shock still hits him and he laments his old aged appearance on the trip back to Night Raven College. Luckily, Malleus was able to restore Vil back to his original appearance due to Vil's Rapid Aging being caused by magic than of natural causes.
- The Resenter: His behavior in Chapter 5 is heavily implied to be attributed to his having to constantly compete with Neige LeBlanche, who is Twisted Wonderland's equivalent of Snow White. Because Neige is considered to be "the fairest of them all", Neige has more MagiCam followers than him and is implied to often get chivalrous, heroic roles while Vil is typecast as the elegant, beautiful villain Neige eventually defeats, which Vil despises. This has a deeper meaning as it's revealed that as a child, Vil is always type-casted as a villain and comes to despise how he is never allowed to branch out from the stereotype that he is casted in.
- Stronger Than They Look: Don't let his beautiful appearance fool you. His P.E Uniform personal story reveals that he does workouts outside of maintaining his beauty routine, to the point where he's able to keep up with Jack. The Wish Upon a Star event also reveals that he has two heavy dumbbells in his room. Additionally, one of his P.E Uniform homescreen lines has him say this:Vil: Every once in a while, I come across idiots who believe they can win against me if they use their fists. Of course, the tables always turn against them.
- Taking You with Me: An overblot Vil almost uses his Unique Magic to poison Rook, Epel, Kalim, Jamil, Ace, Deuce, Grim, Yuu, and himself until Deuce uses his new found Unique Magic "Bet the Limit" to defeat an overblotted Vil and return him to normal.
- Talented, but Trained: His beauty may seem effortless, but he keeps himself to a strict daily routine and puts in immense effort to maintain his good looks.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Defrosts considerably post-Overblot and displays immense gratitude to Yuu and company for saving him, as well as apologizing for his behaviour.
- Typecast: In-Universe, Vil is type-casted as a villain right from the get-go in the acting offers he received. The constant type-casting upsets Vil and add onto his resentment on Neige.
- Younger Than They Look: People stop short of actually saying that he looks old, but it's pointed out in-universe that his heavy makeup and dedication to elegant fashions makes him look more "mature" than he really is.
Epel Felmier
A freshman endowed with a delicate beauty, his reserved and polite nature accentuates his loveliness. However, this is a facade enforced by Vil. Epel is a rough-speaking country bumpkin with a fiery, short temper. His sorting into Pomefiore creates distress: he prefers to distance himself from his dainty appearance because he prefers to be seen as masculine and reliable.
- Barrier Maiden: His Unique Magic, Sleep Kiss, encases his targets in a glass coffin and grants them protection from attacks while they sleep within.
- Berserk Button: Treating him as a lady due to his feminine appearance is a good way to set him off. In the Ghost Marriage event, he quickly gets angry when the ghost retainers coming after him, Ace, Yuu and Grim mistake him for a princess.
- Both Sides Have a Point: To do with Vil's conflict with Epel in Chapter 5. While Epel did start the fight early in the year and had to obey Vil because of how in NRC, Asskicking Leads to Leadership, Epel snapped and pointed out that he doesn't even want to participate in the VDC, but forced to comply with many of Vil's harsh demands for his own personal agenda of being able to defeat Neige at one point or another. On the other hand, Vil also pointed out that Epel shouldn't fully embrace the notion that strength is all that there is to becoming stronger. But with Vil's Drill Sergeant Nasty methods, Epel took a while to get the idea to sink in his mind.
- Butt-Monkey: While it is downplayed, Epel is shown to have these moments at times. Especially when he has to follow many of Vil's strict teachings about manners and being more refined in general.
- Country Mouse: He comes from the Village of Harvest and often mentions that his family works on an apple farm.
- Demonic Possession: During the second Halloween event, Endless Halloween Night. Epel is one of the many students kidnapped and taken over by ghosts. His ghost in particular makes him act like a sickeningly-cute pop idol.
- Determinator: In his Laboratory SR card story, after Epel accidentally spills some nectar during Alchemy class, Divus tells him to replenish the supply within two months. Said nectar happens to come from a flower difficult to breed and there's very few of them in the school's botanical gardens. While most people expect Epel to seek Divus's forgiveness due to how difficult the task is, Epel surprises Divus by actually making the flower breed like there's no tomorrow by using a homemade fertilizer with garbage from the school cafeteria and horse manure from the Equestrian Club, thus having enough flowers to get the amount of nectar needed. This shocks Cater plenty.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Grim initially mistakes Epel for a girl, but is corrected by Ace (who thought the same when he first met Epel at the entrance ceremony), who mentions matter-of-factly that Night Raven College is an all-boys school.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Downplayed. Grim showed interest in him before he was informed that he's male.
- The Fake Cutie: Under the cute, gentle front he's forced to put on by Vil, he is rather rude and brusque. At times he'll let his true nature slip, as shown in his homescreen lines when Yuu annoys him.
- Forced Sleep: His unique magic, "Sleep Kiss", allows him to protect or seal the target with an ice coffin. It affects the target by putting them into blessed sleep.
- Friendless Background: Not necessarily as sad or tragic as other examples, but more due to the fact that his hometown is really small with few people around his age, and so the only people he knew before coming to Night Raven College were his family and the village elders.
- Guilty Pleasures: He considers his favorite food, macarons, to be one because they don't go with the tough, manly persona he hopes to live up to.
- Hidden Depths: Unlike stereotypical Pomefiore students, Epel has a knack for physical activities and has expressed his own personal wish to be sorted into Savanaclaw instead of Pomefiore.
- In-Series Nickname:
- Rook calls him "Monsieur Crabapple" note.
- Floyd calls him "Guppy". note
- Innocent Blue Eyes: Subverted. He has blue eyes, but he's not as innocent as the facade he puts on would have you think.
- Meaningful Name: Epel's name means 'apple' in German and his surname is French for 'farmer', fitting for someone based on the Poisoned Apple.
- Mundane Wish: His wish in the Wish Upon A Star event is to grow taller.
- Mysterious Waif: In-Universe example. At first, Epel seemed to have a air of mystique to him due to his ethereal, yet cute, appearance and his vague description of his past. Sometimes even making students wanting to protect him for being seemingly fragile-like. Subverted as it turns out Epel is really nothing what his outer appearance suggests, is aware of the impression he gives off, and hates it.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: In-Universe. Epel fakes a more refined accent at Vil's insistence, but slips into his native country accent (or in English, uses Deep South slang) when he gets emotional.
- The Quiet One: He doesn't say much. Well, at first glance…
- Rage Breaking Point: Finally hits it with Vil in Chapter 5 after Vil tries to force him to do "girly things" that he doesn't want to do. They end up dueling with their magic pens, and Epel inevitably loses. Rook implies that this isn't the first time this has happened.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Epel looks near identical to his grandma Marja in her youth seen in the "Harveston's Kelkkarotu" event.
- Token Good Teammate: Of his dorm, along with being the most normal which he consistently reminds the members of other dorms. Ends up being a subversion, as under the front he's forced to put on, he's actually rather rude.
- Values Dissonance: In-Universe and discussed. Due to living in the countryside with not many people his age, Epel grew up being subscribed to the traditional belief that men must be strong and masculine. When he arrived in Night Raven College, most of the beliefs that he lived up to back home were challenged. With Vil saying this word for word as he listened to Epel's complaints. Reflecting how the younger generation and society are no longer following traditional values to a T as time goes by, something that also applies to real life in a degree.
- Vil: There's no such thing as "For Men" or "For Women" when it comes to dance and clothing. To say that it's embarrassing to perform feminine dance moves just because you're a boy? Such attitude is so last era.
Rook Hunt
Voiced by: Yojiro Itokawa
Twisted from: The Huntsman
Grade: Third year
Twisted from: The Huntsman
Grade: Third year
The vice dorm leader of Pomefiore. An eccentric and elusive young man with an equally enigmatic standard of aesthetics. He admires all things beautiful, including the beauty of his dormmates Vil and Epel, and dedicates his life to the pursuit of beauty. His sharp, analytical nature combined with his lack of respect with others' personal boundaries lends to the exasperation and fear of his schoolmates.
- Academic Athlete: Skilled in both his academic classes and flying classes.
- Admiring the Abomination: When Vil overblotted, Rook's first instinct was to comment on how beautiful yet sorrowful Vil's overblotted form was before the danger of the situation is registered in his mind.
- Brutal Honesty: Trey notes that his clubmate is forthcoming with both his compliments and critiques. Rook frequently offers his observations without malice, but fails to considers the social context and the feelings of the recipient.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite his eccentricities he is shown to be genuinely talented and a hard worker, and carries out his duties as vice dorm leader quite well. Minus secreterial duties which Vil notes that he skips frequently out on.
- Cloudcuckoolander: His penchant for Gratuitous French and his Stalker without a Crush tendencies aside, he has a peculiar way of thinking (especially in regard to his views on beauty).
- Does Not Like Spam: His least favorite food is garlic. According to his Birthday Suit SSR personal story, Rook doesn't like garlic is because it causes issues for him and has a lingering odor that gets in the way of his hunting.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: His behavior toward the students he "hunts" is rather persistent and borderline flirty, very nearly pushing him into Ambiguously Bi territory whenever he interacts with anyone he targets, though he could also be Ambiguously Gay as the players have yet to hear of him "hunting" women or even taking a special interest in them.
- The Dreaded: To Leona (and Floyd to an extent), due to how persistent he is in "catching" his prey.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Upon meeting Neige during the Pomefiore chapter while wearing his school uniform, Neige expresses mild surprise to find that Rook is a boy. He had seen Rook before at fan meet-ups, and assumed he was a girl. With Chapter 6 revealing that Rook used to have longer, unkempt hair in the past as a Savanaclaw student, it may play into Neige's earlier assumption that Rook could be a girl.
- Eccentric Mentor: Even as a Cloudcuckoolander, he genuinely supports his juniors and is willing to assist them if need be.
- Fan Boy: After the performance at the VDC festival, it is revealed that Rook is actually a big fan of Neige and the second member of his fan club Eternal Snow. Rook admires Neige so much that he voted for Neige instead of Vil to win the VDC festival.
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Does this to Kalim after Jamil and Vil are abducted by the S.T.Y.X. organization.
- Gotta Catch Them All: As Neige's fan, Rook has an entire collection of photo cards of Neige in his album and always brings them with him.
- Gratuitous French: Uses French nicknames for the other students, and typically uses French words whenever he speaks.
- Guyliner: He wears eyeliner and a plethora of other makeup, all so he can proudly stand beside Vil as his vice dorm leader.
- He Cleans Up Nicely: Chapter 6 reveals that as a first year student in Savanaclaw and before he was acquainted with Vil, Vil mentions that Rook used to have messy unkempt hair and had freckles on his cheek, along with having easily sunburnt skin that he often leaves untreated and lacking any of the good fashion sense that he would have in the present until Vil inspired him to be fashionable and take better care of himself via teaching him skin care. By the present day as Pomefiore's vice dorm leader, Rook looked neater and prettier, with even Epel mentioning that he couldn't imagine a messy and unkempt Rook.
- In-Series Nickname: Floyd calls him "Black-Tailed Gull" note, while Rook refers to himself as "Le chasseur d'amour".
- Irony: He is the only known Pomefiore student to sprinkle Gratuitous French in his speech, even though he is also the only known Pomefiore student to not have his name derived from French or German.
- Light 'em Up: Uses light magic for his non-elemental attacks making him a part of the 'light magic trio' with Silver and Kalim
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Towards the vast majority of non-human students due to his eccentric behavior and being their Stalker without a Crush.
- Massive Numbered Siblings: In Chapter 6, Rook reveals he has two older siblings and three younger siblings.
- Master Archer: In Rook's Birthday Suit SSR personal story, Rook is highly skilled at archery as both a competitive sport and as bow hunting.
- Meaningful Name: While his last name 'Hunt' is an obvious nod to his talents and who he's twisted from, his first name 'Rook' may be taken from the chess piece also known as a castle, possibly referencing Pomefiore dorm's main building. It may also mean a type of crow, shouting out to the Evil Queen's pet raven.
- The Nicknamer: Refers to dorm heads as "Roi de ____" (Example) and other students as "Monsieur ____". The only exceptions so far are Treynote, Yuunote, and himselfnote.
- Not Afraid to Die: When Vil asks Rook why he would want to drink the poison apple juice even though he will die if he does so, Rook explains he wanted to believe Vil would never do something that ruined his beauty. However, even if Vil really did put a curse on the apple juice, he wanted to taste it once and would be glad to risk a taste of poisonous fruits. Kalim disagrees with Rook and will make sure to not let him sacrifice his own life.
- Odd Name Out: The sole known Pomefiore student whose name is not derived from French or German.
- Refuge in Audacity: How Rook was able to save himself and Epel (And Yuu by extension) from being pulverized on the spot by S.T.Y.X by showing Rook's Skewed Priorities of having to come all the way to the Isle of Lamentation to deliver Vil's skincare products (Which are laced with some traces of his magic) and have brought both Epel and Yuu along the ride. The reason was so ridiculous and yet so in line with the extent of what Rook usually does that Idia and Ortho eventually lets them stay around.
- Shipper on Deck: Seems to be toward Riddle and Trey.
- Stalker Shrine: He hides photos (later revealed to be his collection of Neige's photos and bromides) behind the wallpaper of his room.
- Stalker without a Crush: He "hunts" other students by following them around in order to learn their behaviors and weaknesses. Judging by his Stalker Shrine, he may go a little overboard with his "hunting".
- Tracking Spell: His unique magic, "I See You", allows him to identify the location of anyone and anything that he cast his magic on. Rook explains that he cast his unique magic on one of the Charon squad members, so that's how he knows where to go. According to Rook, his Unique Magic is considered very weak magic that cannot hurt or manipulate opponents.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Liver pâté. In Rook's Birthday Suit SSR personal story, the reason why liver pâté is his favorite food because he loves the taste of the wilderness and elegance together and how the dish is fresh.
- The Un-Reveal: In Rook's Birthday Suit SSR personal story, when Yuu asks Rook how he spent his birthday with his family before he attended Night Raven College, he playfully refuses to answer their question and says it's a secret. The reason why Rook won't answer their question because secrets are sweeter when they stay secret. The real reason he doesn't like to mention his family is unknown.
- Unexplained Accent: The only member of the cast to frequently speak French, and yet he comes from the same place as Ruggie and Leona, who don't speak any French at all.
- What Does He See in Him?: Non-romantic example. Some of the students Rook interacts with are baffled that of all people, in spite of his Stalker without a Crush tendencies, he was chosen as Pomefiore's vice dorm leader. Even Vil himself sometimes questions why he chose Rook as well.
