#OC: Eva Dilag

[tickledpink31]

What would Minako’s interactions with the obey me cast be if they ever met?

Minako:

When Minako found herself in hell she came to the conclusion that she finally died for real, but she's too tired to care. Belphegor can relate. (She did not die, a classic potion mishap happened.)

Starting with my Obey Me!MC, Eva Dilag, they're instant BFFs. A pair of witches sharing spells. Minako has a tiny crush on Eva, but Eva is already spoken for (*cough* Lucifer *cough*). They share their own grievances about being involuntary therapists for a bunch of emotionally stunted men. Poor Minako has to deal with 20+ plus boys and perhaps an entire school while Eva deals with seven.

By the way, Eva has a sheep form, which Minako absolutely adores as an animal lover. She's so small and fluffy!

Lucifer is a hard-ass, but that doesn't really bother Minako that much. He can be a bit extreme with his punishments though, which Minako hates. I mean he blew up a bathroom once during his second birthday event because he couldn't find the matching necklace that he got on with MC. Maybe it's because he looks and acts like Minako's current father figure that she tolerates him (I'm talking about Crewel).

It's back and forth with Mammon. He's an annoying little shit who will do anything to have money in his hands, but sometimes, Minako feels that being the punching bag of the family is a little undeserved. It's okay though. If Mammon does steal something from her, Minako is actually just as fast as Mammon, whether she's on her feet or on her broom. And she packs a punch too.

Levi is almost Idia 2.0 for Minako, but she does notice a few differences. Idia has a hidden smugness and sassiness to him underneath his doom and gloom, whereas Levi is more blunt and direct with how he feels. Levi gets so shy around Minako because a pretty girl is talking to him, and that she's surprisingly scary for a human.

Satan is impressed with Minako's intelligence. Minako is a little bit of a literature nerd, especially when she was a kid, so they both enjoy sharing book recommendations. They like to get into some playful debates and banters about things.

Asmo thinks that Minako is adorable! He tried seducing her, but Minako was able to straight-up will herself not to fall for his hypnosis (she's learned her lesson after the Scarabia incident and tried to pick up Occlumency). Well, at least they can have makeovers together. Minako has some fancy cosmetics that Vil gifted her, and Asmo has rare and exotic cosmetics made by demons.

Beel is so huggable and sweet. Now, please stop eating tonight's dinner. Your brothers are hungry too. All Minako wants is a buff man with a heart of gold, not necessarily for a boyfriend, at least as a close friend who lets her climb on him like a monkey so that she can ride his shoulders and hug when she's sad.

Minako begged Belphie once to help her get a good night's sleep. She might as well enjoy it now when she can while she's away from Night Raven.

Diavolo is just so... imposing. Minako never expected the future demon king to be childlike, but he feels dangerous at the same time. People are multi-faceted, so are demons.

I'm sorry about this Jade, but I think Minako likes Barbatos more. Finally, someone reliable with no ulterior motives. Just a fairly normal guy who will serve you tea not laced with poisonous mushrooms. Wait, what do you mean you predicted that Minako would come to Devildom?

Minako has a crush on Simeon too. Can you blame her? A gorgeous writer, big-hearted, and fatherly towards his ward, Luke.

Luke and Minako are almost the same height. What else is new? She has a soft spot for children, so you'll find her patting him on the head often, much to Luke's annoyance.

Solomon is kind of odd, but Eva's known him for a long time and so have her ancestors. The three humans together are a chaotic bunch and are a terror to the Devildom.

That's all I have. I'm not going to do Mephistophelees, Thirteen, or Raphael because I don't know them that well.

What would happen if your Obey Me and Twisted Wonderland Mc's (Maria/Eva Dilag and Minako Nezumi) switch places as the MC's in their respective games?

Answered a similar ask here but with Minako landing in Devildom

Starting with Eva, she isn't a magical prodigy like Minako. In fact, her powers have hardly developed yet. And because the Dark Mirror can't keep its mouth shut, it just had to blurt out how weak her magic is during the ceremony.

Poor Eva gets sent to Ramshackle and gets bullied for her lack of magical development, but soon she'll become as powerful as canon Obey Me MC does. I like to think that Eva has the ability to adapt her magic to whatever universe she falls into, so she ends up developing similar abilities to her classmates, unique magic and all. However, her high mana makes her incredibly prone to blot accumulation.

As with Minako, her family doesn't have the curse since they don't have ties to Twisted Wonderland. Instead, she has ties to heaven and hell. She's a graduate from Hogwarts and an apprentice to Solomon, long before being whisked away to the Devildom (she was lured in with the promise of meeting Devildom's fascinating creatures).

Her raw power catches the interest of the denizens of the Devildom and the Celestial Realm. Many believe she has the ability to tip the balance of the realms, making her a target of kidnapping or assassination.

Eva’s backstory and characterization reminds me an awful lot of Cinderella.

Yeah, it's a bit like that, except her siblings love her, and she has seven prince charmings, eleven if you count the dateables minus Luke, or fourteen if you count the three extra characters (yes, Thirteen counts as a Prince Charming). That reminds of this one K-drama "Cinderella and the 4 Knights" (Lee Yoon Sung is my favourite man because I have a thing for cool and stoic types. It's so unfair that he's not an actual love interest even though he's one of the "four knights").

Real talk though: Cinderella is awesome. I do not care what people say about her. She was powerless and was making the most out of her shitty situation. A night out at the ball is what she deserves.

Btw if you really want a good Cinderella adaptation, read the book, Ella Enchanted. Not the movie (as much as it gives me nostalgia) because it's not that faithful of an adaptation. The "Ella Enchanted" BOOK written by Gail Carson Levine is just a genius build up to Cinderella, and I adore it.

Did Eva and Maria originally live in the Philippines?

Yes. They were born and raised in the Philippines until their mother died when they were eight. At this point, their father discovered the twins' existence and saw his chance to take their family's inheritance by taking them in to live with his family in Canada.

[tickledpink31]

How did Maria 1’s family(her parents in particular) react to her pregnancy with the twins and her breakup with Danilo after realizing he was using her to get his hands on their money?

Upset with their daughter's recklessness, at first. Maria I's parents were more angry with Danilo and with themselves. Danilo had succeeded in fooling them too.

Luckily, they were supportive parents, but you know who was the real MVP in supporting Maria I? Her Tita Eva (Aunt Eva) or Eva Dilag I, the woman who Maria I named her oldest daughter after.

Now, Maria I's weren't bad, they just could be better. They were a little distant I would say, but they did try to do better. Maria I ended up being a lot closer to her Tita Eva and started thinking of her as a choatic mother figure.

Tita Eva pretty much understands screwing up, so she was a shoulder to cry on for Maria I and her personal doctor at that. She even midwifed for her niece when she was going into labour.

And while I'm on the topic of Tita Eva, I do want to slide in something a little off-topic because I really love this piece of info from the Obey Me early stage drafts:

In spite of the mess she was in, Maria I managed to become a pretty successful artist after her daughters were born. Tita Eva died six years after the twins were born, so Maria I painted her aunt as a young adult in honour of her.

Diavolo was a frequent client of hers, and he ended buying a copy of the painting and hung it somewhere in his palace. I just really like the idea that 12 years later, the demon brothers are bewildered that a girl named Eva came to the Devildom and was the spitting image of the beautiful woman in Diavolo's prized painting, which they have all seen at least once.

Imagine Eva's surprise that Diavolo was the large man who frequented her mother's art studio. She thought that he looked familiar, she just couldn't put her finger on it.

Eva: That's not me! I was six when my mom painted this. She painted this as a tribute to my grand-aunt.

Man, now I want to draw that painting Maria I made.

[tickledpink31]

The twins names confused me, tell them I’m sorry I know Eva hates being mistaken for Maria😭😭😭😭😭

Lol Don’t worry. Eva forgives you.

[tickledpink31]

I can see Maria relationship with either three of the boys go like this: Eva + Mammon: Deredere + Tsundere, Eva + Satan: Stranger to Lovers who bond over literature, Eva + Beel: hurt/comfort bonding over dead/missing sibling

For sure! (I think you mixed up the twins' name though, so I'm assuming you meant to put Maria in place of Eva)

Like Eva, Maria was a little put off by Mammon's greed and poor spending habits (reminded them of their father), but they can see how much Mammon cares for his brothers. In both AUs, either twin accidentally teach Mammon how to save and carefully spend his money, much to Lucifer's relief and annoyance because of how a few months with a human finally drilled good spending habits into his head.

Maria and Satan are both smart cookies. Maria is a science nerd and Satan is a literature. I tend to think that Eva is more of the literature nerd among the twins considering her interest in theatre and storytelling, but Maria did learn about certain things from fictional stories secondhand from her sister.

Both of the girls definitely bonded with Beel about a missing twin and having severe survivor's guilt. In the Reverse AU, Maria feels extremely guilty about not noticing how her father was comparing the sisters, often telling Eva that she would never be good enough until it was too late.

[tickledpink31]

What if the twins mother never died in that car accident, how would their lives have turned out?

I think their lives would be significantly better, but they would never end up meeting their little brother, Caesar, since the twins' mother want nothing to do with Danilo at all.

They would still have their inheritance from their family, and Maria I's art career would have taken off. Eva would continue to pursue her acting career with much more support and became a household name in the Philippines as an actress in Pinoy soap operas then later move on to Broadway. Maria II would continue to pursue a career as a doctor.

However, I don't think there's really anything stopping from Maria from getting extremely sick, but I do think that she wouldn't have to worry about the expenses of the medical bills. Her chances of recovery are much higher.

I also still think that Eva would have gone to the Devildom as maybe as a little break from her acting career. The exchange program was still something being offered around the globe, and Eva was growing curious about her supernatural heritage. Her mother was against it, but she couldn't stop her daughter.

[tickledpink31]

But what happened to Caesar in the timeline where Maria 1st didn’t die in the car crash?

Who knows? One could only hope that he decided to cut his parents out of his life when he gets older.

OR… Eva ends up meeting him by chance!

It’s really up to you.

[tickledpink31]

How would Maria and Eva from their respective timelines react and meet each other again, and I imagine it to be a very heartwarming reunion for them, and I’m talking about Eva meeting Maria who comes from the alternate timeline where she lives and Eva in that timeline was the one who became terminally ill.

Barbatos probably had a hand in getting them to see each other one last time if they want to (aw, that's sweet)

Their reunion would be a tearful one. It would be full of apologies that they couldn't protect each other. I think them seeing each other again would really give them the resolution that these girls need.

[tickledpink31]

Wait so how did the dilag twins’ grandparents, mother and mother’s aunt die? And how old were the twins when this happened? Did they have nobody alive left in their maternal family to take custody of them?

Their grandparents and grand-aunt died of old age, while their mother in a freak car accident. They're a pretty small family, and what little family members they have left are estranged and live overseas, therefore they do not know that the twins exist. The Dilag family had a few acquaintances, but they were all unwilling to take in the girls in for various reasons

The "best person" the authorities could find really was their father who jumped at the opportunity to take their inheritance. Danilo had been "keeping his nose clean" for a good while and keeping his money-grubbing activities on the down low from the police by having someone wipe his records clean. On the surface, he looked like a respectable family man

[tickledpink31]

How many other people and illegitimate childrens’ lives did that bastard Danilo screw over?

You might be surprised to hear that the twins are Danilo's only illegitimate children. There are other ways to swindle people.

But that's interesting thought: Eva finding out that she has more half-siblings that she doesn't know about. She'd be like "alright, we're family now" and straight up adopt them.

[tickledpink31]

When did Eva started to cry blood?

I haven't thought of that really, but since you asked, I think it would be fitting that Eva first started crying blood during her mother's funeral. She did more often when she and Maria were living with their father because of how debilitating it was to her mental and emotional state.

I have this pretty angsty scenario in mind too where Eva almost cried blood in front of her father (warning for child abuse and abandonment below, nothing too graphic aside from the bloody tears, just Danilo being a bad father):

The scenario happens not too long after Maria's death. Danilo is just driving Eva home, and they get into argument. It pisses Eva so bad that she almost cries blood in front of him. The argument escalates to Danilo telling her to get out of the car and forcing her to walk home by herself in the middle of a snowstorm. And that's when the bloody tears came out after he drove away.

[tickledpink31]

What if a reverse au happened with the dilag twins and Eva was the twin who got terminally ill and died instead? And Maria was the one who survived and went to Devildom instead?

A pretty tragic fate on Eva's end. She wasn't the favourite twin in her school or in her father's eyes. Maria and Caesar would be devastated. Eva was the oldest and always knew what to do, but she carried the most burdens and has severe eldest-daughter trauma.

If Maria's view of her father wasn't broken before, it sure has shattered now. He wouldn't have cared if Eva had died. This would end up spurring Maria's rebellious phase. She now gets why Eva refused to give her father and stepmother the time of day. It's a bit self-destructive, but at least now she's not playing her father's rules anymore.

In my version of the story, how my MC goes to the exchange program is different. They aren't suddenly yanked from the human realm and put into Hell. Humans also acknowledge the existence of demons, angels, and the three worlds. Eva, or in this case Maria, find out about the exchange program when it was being offered at school. No student was willing to go because, well... they had to stay in Devildom, and they were in a Catholic high school. Getting a stipend in the end wasn't worth it. Eva was the only one who willingly volunteered in hopes of learning more about her witchy heritage, while Maria in the Reverse Au had to be hand-picked because she also wasn't willing to go.

Also, I think the main love interests would change. Eva's main love interest is Lucifer (eldest siblings unite). I think Maria would really either Mammon, Satan, or Beel.

A little bit of an unrelated note, I actually had a short story in mind a long time ago in normal au where the premise is that Maria soul accidentally possesses Eva's body and the brothers have to find out how to get Eva back. I don't think I'll write it though.

[tickledpink31]

No offense to Maria and Eva’s mom but…what did she even see in that man?!?!

Danilo, the twins' father, was a very charismatic man. Nobody knew how sleazy he actually was until he deserts you the second he gets what he wanted from you, be it money or career opportunities.

He had his sights set on the affluent Dilag family, particularly their daughter, Maria (yes, the girls' mother is also named Maria. We're going to call her Maria I as in Maria the First). Maria was a smart and pragmatic woman, but even she couldn't help but be charmed by Danilo and enter a relationship with him.

Two weeks into their relationship, though, Maria I found out that Danilo was already in a relationship with someone else (Caesar's mother) and that Maria I was being used for her inheritance. This was before Maria I was planning to bring him home to introduce him to her parents during their school break. Had she not broken it off, Danilo would have gotten access to her inheritance.

So, yeah. Danilo was a fling that Maria I deeply regretted, and the relationship ended up getting her pregnant with twins. Out of spite and to prevent her daughters from being used, Maria I refused to let Danilo have any contact with the twins. Maria I even named the oldest twin after her favourite aunt (Eva) and after herself (Maria II).

Maria I thought it was the end of it all once Danilo fled to Canada with his new wife, but unfortunately, the twins and the inheritance ended up in his grasp any way after their mother's death. The girls were left without a guardian except for their biological father on the other side of the world.

And you know what he did with the money once he got it? He gambled it all away.
