Lettie Anastasis

I wanted to introduce you to my Twisted Wonderland teacher OC (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

***

Full Name: Violet (Lettie) Anastasis

Allusion: Anastasia Tremaine

Gender and Pronouns: Female, she/her

Age: 30

Height: 5’3/160cm

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Auburn

Homeland: Shaftlands

Subject Taught: Music, also private voice and piano lessons.

Personality: Kind and friendly to mostly everyone. She can be a bit of a spitfire when riled up. Lettie is also quite vain.

Unique Magic: Sing Sweet Nightingale

Lettie can communicate directly into the mind of anyone she can see. Whoever she is speaking to is able to speak back as long as she maintains the connection by keeping them in her sight (even if she’s viewing their reflection). Direct eye contact is not required, although that is when her magic is the strongest. People she knows take less energy to speak to than strangers, the stronger the personal connection the stronger her magic.

Lettie is the niece of NRC Professor Trein, who got her the job at the school after she experienced a stroke of bad luck and failed auditions. Her true dream is to become a stage actress in musicals, but she’s found her size puts her at a disadvantage compared to slimmer, more universally accepted actresses. Her hair began going gray two years ago and that certainly doesn't help her insecurities. She’s at a transitional period in her life and she wants to get back to auditioning but right now she needs money and a steady job. Her contract at NRC is temporary. She loves the students and most of her coworkers but if she could snap her fingers and be onstage, she would.

Lettie is not very strict as a teacher, preferring a gentle approach; not every student will be naturally talented in music and she doesn't want struggling students to be discouraged. She wants her classroom to be a stress-free haven, especially after the several overblots that have occurred during the school year.

Her feud with Divus Crewel began at her first NRC faculty meeting, which you can read about in my ficlet, Pink and Red, when she had to listen to him refer to the students as “puppies”. After the meeting she confronted him, telling him that behavior was unacceptable. In response, he insulted her fashion (something that highly offended her, especially because she had taken great care in picking out her outfit for the first day so she would make a good first impression) and he walked away. Their second encounter didn't go much better when he decided to start their conversation by saying, “Pink again, I see,” disdainfully commenting on her outfit. Seething, she took that opportunity to use her Unique Magic on him for the first time and called him an “arrogant peacock,” directly inside his mind, leaving him confused and speechless. After that she purposefully filled her entire office with pink decorations to get on his nerves. The piano was temporarily painted pink with magic but in her anger the magic didn't stick so now only the formerly white keys remain pink. The grand piano in the music classroom underwent similar treatment.

Despite all this she finds Crewel extremely attractive. They might have an enemies to lovers arc in the future (･ω~)

***

As mentioned above, Lettie is Professor Trein’s niece, but she also has two older brothers named Damien and Elias. They’re based on Drizella Tremaine and Cinderella, respectively.

Damien is 35, and works as a lawyer, and Elias is 33, and works as a librarian. Elias was adopted as a toddler a year before Lettie was born, when their parents weren't sure they would be able to have any more children. Lettie was a surprise. All of the children were loved equally and they're all somewhat close but Elias and Lettie are the closest, as a toddler he was very excited to become an big brother so after she was born he did his best to look after her. Lettie is definitely the little princess of the family.
