Curiouser and Curiouser...

Ace is the least rules-oriented Heartslabyul Dorm Leader in decades. That's not to say that it’s total anarchy, but he definitely doesn’t go about enforcing nonsensical rules, only the ones that make sense!

... And even then, he bends the occasional rule himself! To Ace, any and all rules are “open to interpretation”. As long as there’s a loop hole or vague enough wording to exploit, Ace will talk himself out of any punishment, and he encourages his students to do the same. That’s his own brand of “just”!

He wants the kids of Heartslabyul to have a good time when they’re not studying. Ace loads up the lounge with board, card, and tabletop games, and makes sure that the kitchen is always stocked with pies and tarts for anyone wandering around for a midnight snack.

When it comes to Unbirthday Parties, Ace changes things up! The roses are left white, and there’s always a different selection of foods, teas, and entertainment every time. There’s no designated seating or proper table etiquette--instead, you’ll find Ace flitting about teasing students and amusing guests with card tricks, or loudly slurping his tea and using the wrong salad fork.

He gets into a lot of disagreements with his Vice Dorm Leader, Deuce, who seems to be a lot more hellbent on keeping with tradition than he is (the same holds true if Deuce is Dorm Leader and Ace is Vice). It’s not uncommon to hear them arguing in the hallways (which leads to their students saying they remind them of “an old married couple”).

Ace isn’t a very formal person, so he’s easy for the Heartslabyul kids to approach and just have a casual conversation with. He mingles really well with the first years in particular, as he still has a sense of immaturity about him.

“The old Heartslabyul Dorm Leader will tell you that the rules are king. Nah, forget all of that. I’m runnin’ a court here, aren’t I? If you can give me solid evidence or a good enough argument, I’ll letcha run wild in the rose garden. But if you really messed up, I’m expecting you to pay me back in apology pie.”

Deuce keeps the legacy of Riddle and the Queen of Hearts in mind during his reign, but overall he’s a much more humble Dorm Leader than his predecessors. He’s well aware of his own faults and regularly apologizes for them, citing that he is still learning and improving every day. This courage has earned him admiration among Heartslabyul students.

His way of upholding the rules is more serious compared to Ace’s loose interpretation, but is also more fair compared to Riddle’s blind collaring. Deuce has certain punishments tied to specific violations, which scale in accordance with their severity--and he’s always double checking and reevaluating them to see if they need to be updated.

He values academic achievement, but also emphasizes the importance of friendship and self improvement. Deuce makes it a point to approach students that may seem lonely or struggling in school and start a conversation--since he personally knows how hard it can be to open up or to ask for help. If he can turn over a new leaf and change for the better, then he believes his students can, too!

He starts raising chicks along with the Heartslabyul flamingos and hedgehogs! They really love Deuce, and make it a habit of following him in a single file line whenever he comes to visit them, or takes them out for Unbirthday parties. Sometimes he’ll be sipping tea, only for a chick to pop out of his tea cup, or they’ll just chill in a nearby (red) rose tree.

Deuce definitely still has his delinquent side to keep in check, but for the most part, he doesn’t lash out or invoke his powers as Dorm Leader unless he, his friends, or his students are seriously provoked. Deuce will fiercely defend his allies until the bitter end!

He often worries about his performance as a Dorm Leader, so he’ll ask others for feedback and suggestions on how he can do better. Deuce shares these concerns with his mom over the phone, who reassures him that he’s doing very well for himself and reminds him that she’s proud of how far he has come.

“As the new Dorm Leader of Heartslabyul, I swear that I will faithfully carry on Rosehearts-senpai’s vision! If you will have me... New students, let’s work together to build a new future--a future founded on the principles of the Queen of Hearts!”

Every new Savanaclaw student will walk into their dorms to find a small potted cactus in each one, along with a blunt note welcoming them to their new dorm. They’re Jack’s welcome gifts to the new kids--plus, they help to liven up the place!

A strong social hierarchy is adhered to, with the younger students paying their respects to the older ones. However, it’s not based on age, but rather the respect a person accumulates through their various achievements. Jack himself serves as a prime example by being a model student and Dorm Leader, making him the pride of Savanaclaw. He even has a fan club come to his track meets to cheer him on!

Jack has a strong policy of using fair means to complete assignments, and he has no qualms with reporting you if he suspects any foul play! That means no cheating during exams and battles (or even picking on someone smaller than them)--the students risk facing punishment from both their teachers and Jack!

He doesn’t advocate for needless violence--he stresses that it should only be used as a last resort. If a brawl breaks out, he’ll be the first person to rush onto the scene and break it up! Afterwards, Jack will listen to the perspectives of the involved parties before (usually) telling them they’re both stupid in the wrong and making them apologize to one another.

He’s not the best when it comes to social events, but he tries to make an effort to organize little get-togethers to get the students comfortable with each other and with him, namely inviting them to join him for his morning jogs and training sessions. They stretch together, work out together, and take water breaks together!

He tries to encourage his students to get involved in clubs or sports (any kind of group activity, really). Jack makes it known that as cool as they may think it is to act like a lone wolf, there are times when you need to rely on and work with others to achieve a common goal--a lesson he learned himself in his younger days.

“... Jack Howl. I’ll be working with you from now on. As long as you work hard and play fair, you’ll be able to survive at NRC. And if you’re struggling... You can always rely on your Dorm Leader to support you.”

Epel opens up to the Pomefiore first years with a shout in his brackish country accent. Once he has everyone’s attention, he clears his throat and politely continues as though nothing strange happened, telling his tale--about how he was out of his element, but soon found himself thanks to his friends and the stern teachings of the last Dorm Leader. He vows to do the same for the new first years!

Epel’s vision for his dorm is “a Pomefiore that is accepting of all kinds of beauty”. He doesn’t discriminate if there’s an odd duck out--rather, he’ll approach them separately and help coach them through their own strengths and weaknesses. No matter how rough around the edges they may be, he knows that there’s something beautiful inside each and every person.

He’s not afraid to get dirty! Epel doesn’t mind messing up his hair or makeup or getting mud on himself if it means he can help others out in the process. At first, it’s strange for the Pomefiore students to see their Dorm Leader in a state of disarray, but consistently seeing Epel go out of his way to do good encourages them to do the same.

He’s big on stressing internal beauty to his students, likening it to an apple. (In fact, Epel often uses fruit as metaphors to explain difficult concepts to those in Pomefiore). “An apple is not fit to eat if it is rotten inside,” he explains, slicing one open cleanly with a knife.

Epel’s not as uptight or stuck on rigid social customs as Vil was, so he won’t force his students to sit through ballet or dining lessons... but he does expect them to show others proper courtesy. If they don’t, then there’s nothing stopping Epel from wailing on them to remind them who’s top dog around here--and he’ll relish in the victory.

He has a strange reputation among his dorm members. Some admire his willingness to act “outside the box”, while others call him weird for not sticking to the “conventional” idea of beauty. Still, no matter what others may think of Epel, they all bend a knee to the new queen, and his fierce strength and determination.

“There’s a lot of you standing here today. Look around. These are the faces of your classmates. Now look in a mirror. This is you. When you leave this school in 4 years’ time, none of you will look the same. You will have matured into the finest versions of yourselves--but even as you grow and change... Keep your roots close to you, and never forget them.”

Sebek as a Dorm Leader is a force to be reckoned with. Not only does he have a commanding presence thanks to his imposing stature and booming voice, but he has an entire legion of loyal followers! Sebek’s energy and arrogance are infectious, spreading to his students like a wildfire started by a strike of lightning. It’s a scarily common occurrence for Sebek to whip up an impassioned mob at sporting events--

He’s so proud to have inherited this important title from his young master--and because of that, Sebek holds both himself and his students to a high standard! He constantly reminds them that “Diasomnia is the best of the best!” and will not tolerate lagging behind. If anyone is unfortunate enough to step out of line, they’re in for a hellish boot camp headed by Sebek himself with lessons borrowed from his own time training under Lilia!

He does ALL the things--the very definition of overachieving. Sebek’s always the first to volunteer to help out, the first to leap at the chance to lead a committee or to assist in planning a school event. His eagerness to take charge isn’t done in kindness, it’s only to flex how large and in charge Diasomnia is to the rest of NRC!

Sebek challenges his students every chance he gets, pushing them to hone their abilities and sharpen their skills even further--and once they’ve hit that pinnacle of perfection, he can look on with his chest puffed out like a proud father. Even so, he won’t take credit for their accomplishment--it’s something that they worked toward by themselves, while Sebek thinks of himself as “the push” that was needed for them to learn.

Out of habit, Sebek regularly sends back reports to the Valley of Thorns to reassure Lilia and Malleus that he is looking after the new kids at their alma mater very well! He’s sure to include pictures of his work as proof--and he’s always wearing the largest of smiles in each one.

He rises bright and early every day to tend to his Dorm Leader duties! Everyone knows when Sebek has just gotten up because he shouts his morning affirmations to the painting of Malleus that he has up on his wall. (“GOOD MORNING, YOUNG MASTER!! I am heading out now to carry on the noble legacy of Diasomnia!!”) In his head, he likes to imagine that Malleus is wishing him a good day and thanking him for his efforts--

“The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. You, students of Diasomnia, are the FUTURE! It is you who shall lead the masses out of the dark ages and into a golden era of accomplishment and discoveries. You are all destined for greatness--so COME!! Have faith! Raise your magical pens!! And join me in paving the way forward!!”
