Wondaventure, a Royal Sword Academy Dorm

Background:

Wondaventure is the dorm inspired by The Wondrous Lady in Blue's spirit (Alice from Alice in Wonderland)'s spirit of creativity and imagination. The students of this dorm are curious, innovative, and eager to learn and try something new. However, they often get misunderstood as being weird and crazy.

Emblem:

Wondaventure's emblem consist of, but are not limited to, the colors white, yellow, and of course, sky blue, as a reference to The Wondrous Lady in Blue (Alice)'s appearance and outfit. It also portrays a white rabbit, clock, blue caterpillar, butterflies, red and white roses, and blue and pink flamingos.

Appearance and Location:

Wondaventure's entrance, like all the other six dorms, is located in Royal Sword Academy's Portal Room. To enter Wondaventure, one must jump down a rabbit hole-like portal.

Wondaventure's dorm building resembles a combination of the White Rabbit's house from the animated Alice in Wonderland and the Ascot Manor from the live-action Alice in Wonderland. It is a lovely yet quirky looking sky blue mansion painted with lively and exuberant shades of pink and magenta. Its roof resembles bundles of straw topped with a teapot lid. Its sky blue color is the dorm's main color as well as a reference to Alice herself, its straw roof and pink stripes are a nod to the White Rabbit's house, the magenta stripes are inspired by the Chesire Cat, and its teapot lid roof are a reference to the Mad Hatter.

Wondaventure's exterior consists of a golden gazebo facing a backyard garden containing many rose bushes of both red and white roses and many other plants. There are also a few bushes in the front of the dorm. Wondaventure is also encircled by golden gates resembling flamingos.

Uniform:

Wondaventure is the only dorm in Royal Sword Academy to not have its own official uniform. This is because the dorm's spirit emphasizes the significance of adventure, discovery, and freedom from rules and restrictions.

Customs:

(I have not seen the Alice in Wonderland movies, so there is a chance that this will be inaccurate, limited, or changed in the future)

Much like Heartslabyul, Wondaventure also hosts unbirthday parties, but instead of serving strawberry tarts and tea, it is customary to instead serve oyster dishes, butterfly-shaped bread, biscuits with the words "eat me" written in frosting, and drinks placed in bottles engraved with the words "drink me".

They also host croquet matches using pink and blue flamingos and hedgehogs.

Characters:

Alexander “Alex” Wondrionne (twisted from Alice) - The housewarden of Wondaventure who is also the second son of a duke. His carefree, rebellious, and imaginative personality fit perfectly with the dorm's spirit yet contrast greatly with his noble status.

Chenille Sommerfly (twisted from Blue Caterpillar) - The enigmatic yet charming vice-housewarden of Wondaventure known for offering helpful advice yet also confusing his peers with complex riddles.

Artemiy "Che'nya" Artemiyevich Pinker (twisted from Chesire Cat) - A mysterious, whimsical, and playful cat beastman known for pranking people with his ability to turn invisible and getting them into trouble.

Michael Bavarder (twisted from Tweedle Dee) - A playful and talkative gossip who often quarrels and competes with his twin brother whom he insists is younger than him. Always loves a game.

Gabriel Bavarder (twisted from Tweedle Dum) - A cheerful yet competitive social butterfly who often accompanies his twin brother despite frequently arguing with him. His slanderous gossip often leads to chaotic drama.

Relationship with Heartsabyul:

While Royal Sword Academy and Night Raven College are in a bitter rivalry in general, Wondaventure and Heartslabyul are especially hostile towards each other. This is because Wondaventure is twisted from Alice, the main protagonist of Alice in Wonderland, while Heartslabyul is twisted from the main antagonist. This contrasts with popular belief, in which it is commonly believed in Twisted Wonderland that the Wondrous Lady in Blue and the Queen of Hearts were good allies. There are, however, a few Wondaventure and Heartslabyul students that have a good relationship, as shown by how Che'nya, Riddle, and Trey are childhood best friends who still care for each other.

Trivia:

The first half of the dorm's name, "Wonda" is derived from the word "Wonder" while the second half of the dorm's name, "aventure" is derived from the word "adventure". It can also be read as "one adventure"

The dorm's name was originally going to be derived from a French translation. However, seeing that none of the words felt right, the author (me) chose to create the name of the dorm based on whatever came to her mind

The term "Wondrous Lady in Blue" is inspired by a Royal Sword Academy AU fanfiction on quotev
