#disney villain recruiters lady hock

[jinxthejubilee]

So I have a question that I feel as if you're the only one who'll get it well:

So imagine this, a world with the stories is the same but sometimes after the villains have a final curtain call of their motives, but one thing is drastically different... And that's their recruiters are fully evil. Not only that but are so wicked and far not even their once masters can stop them

Either some were abandoned or betrayed by their villains or others simply didn't get their villains help from the beginning, but the end result is the same, they are cruel and ruthless

My question is, if this case scenario was true, what would you think their villain arcs are like?

First off, I'm sorry that it took so long to answer this ask. Life has been quite hectic for me these past few months, so I took a bit of a break. So, to make up for it, let's have some fun here!

Second, it really depends on what established lore you've set for them. Some people have different interpretations of their characters, but if you're going by my personality pages, I have some ideas:

Apple 🍎

Apple seems like the type to claw his way to power no matter what. If he didn't meet the Evil Queen/Grimhilde, he probably would've served under other corrupt monarchs before somehow manipulating them or the people around them to overthrow that monarch and take his "rightful" place as the new ruler.

Very politically oriented than outright murderous.

Jack Heart ❤️

Jack is kinda hard to imagine being strictly "evil" since he's more of the "fun guy who doesn't care about the consequences" type.

But, if you want to lean into him being more insane, I can totally see him becoming more and more unhinged as time goes on.

He craves chaos. He craves destruction. Similar to Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy, but less existential and nihilistic.

I doubt that he'd take out the Queen of Hearts, but for this case, let's say he did: He'd make it a spectacle. To show everyone in Wonderland who the true king is.

No longer does he want to be a pawn at her disposal. He'll have it all, one way or another.

Mr. Dalmatia 🐾

Even if this is the 101 Dalmatians universe, where animals are way smarter than we know, I don't see Dalma becoming a supervillain.

Maybe a gang leader of street dogs or something if he was never adopted by Cruella.

Or, more likely, if he was ever betrayed by Cruella, he would plot his revenge, killing everyone, even Pongo, Perdita, the puppies, and the others by burning Hell Hall to the ground and closing any escape routes, then disappear into the woods. Never to be seen again.

Eight Foot Joe 🐙

MURDER.

He finally snaps from exhaustion and has a full-on Death Note-style murder plot to kill Ursula.

Whether he uses an ancient artifact, potions, or goes along with Ursula's plot, only to steal the trident from her after she accidentally kills Flotsam and Jetson, that betrayal is coming full force.

He becomes the new king of the sea. Finally earning the respect he deserves.

Malfi/Malfie 🪞

Malfi, at least in my headcanons, was an actual bird who was later turned human-ish by Maleficent.

Considering how powerful she is in comparison to everyone on this list, I doubt that Malfi would be brave or powerful enough to take her on in a fight.

Malfi is more of an opportunist. He'd lie and wait for Philip to kill Maleficent. Then, once she's out of the way, he'd kill Philip himself.

Unfortunately, while he was trained by the Mistress of All Evil, he knows Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather would cause problems, so he'd capture them somehow and drain them of their magic, so he could use it to curse the kingdom once again.

Malfi would have everything he's ever wanted: Power, a kingdom, a beautiful bride, and servants and subjects that cater to his every whim.

Pretty Scar (Mzuri) ✨️

I've talked in length about what would happen at the end of The Lion King if PS was there to witness or take part in the killing of Scar, and I honestly don't see her in a leadership position of any kind.

But, if we want to change it up a bit, instead of giving up on Scar after he dies, we find out later that she joined Zira and helped raise Kovu.

Like Zira, she believes Kovu will one day become the great king destined to overthrow Simba and avenge Scar

This Mzuri, despite the fact that Scar betrayed her fellow hyenas, still worships Scar because she's used to the abuse she suffers from her family. She blames Simba for placing Scar in a position where he would have to throw the hyenas under the bus to save his own life.

Ms. Hades 🔥

As I've stated before, I see Ms. Hades as a creation of Hades, so her betraying him is kind of pointless, seeing as he could easily destroy her if he wanted to.

If she was to go all-out villain, though, she'd probably wait to reveal herself as the true villain until Hercules was far enough into the River Styx to die of old age. Then, she'd most likely push Hades down there or use some enchanted item of some kind to bind him, then throw him into the river.

Her motive? She despised working for someone who treated her like an object. She was created for the sole purpose of working beneath him, and she could stand it no longer.

I see her as someone who doesn't focus on the petty things, and that's what makes her so deadly.

She's so calm, collected, and controlled that she doesn't let any weakness of hers slip through the cracks. She looks through every possible option, every little detail. She makes good work of using any opportunities Hades never thought to use.

She is a force of nature; an untamable fire. There is no question that she will take over the living world and Mount Olympus. All hail the queen.

Veil 🔔

If Veil had never met Frollo, I don't see the possibility of her becoming a villain simply because she wouldn't have the resources to raise her status as a "lowly commoner." That, and her personality. She was essentially groomed to become Frollo's loyal follower. That wouldn't have happened otherwise

So, if we work with the opposite of what I wrote as an ending for Veil on her page, similarly to Pretty Scar, Veil would be so brainwashed that she'd still defend Frollo and continue his reign of terror in his absence. Only this time, it's even more dangerous than before.

Lady Hock (Hook) 🪝

Again, I really don't see her as a supervillain personality-wise, and even if Hock was betrayed by Captain Hook, I see her going down a more heroic path than anyone else.

Even if she never met the captain, I don't see her becoming a villain either. She's remarkably chill and goes with the flow in most situations.

The best I can see is that if you altered her personality a tad, she'd allow Captain Hook to kill the Lost Boys and Wendy.

Unless she finally got fed up with Hook's cowardice and decided to get rid of him, then the kids. But again, that's less likely.

Faja 🌹

I'll give Jafar this: He never betrayed Iago. They were practically best buds in the first movie, so I don't doubt that he might be the same with Faja.

However, if all three of them became trapped in the lamp, they'd all drive each other crazy. So much so that later on, once they learn about Iago's escape and betrayal, Faja realizes how power-hungry and abusive he's become. Should this happen, she will help defeat Jafar with Aladdin and the gang once and for all, but she'd immediately turn on them all afterwards.

Or, if we go with the option of her never meeting Jafar, unlike Veil's situation, magic exists in this world, so I can definitely see her taking a similar path as Jafar and learning magic on her own to escape her life as a street rat. Except more erratic and unhinged.

[tickledpink31]

I’ve had this idea for a while, and the six pose dance song has been stuck in my head for a week. So, this new girl with the striking resemblance to Minako is an alternate version of Minako from another dimension. She’s now Mika, an orphan and high school student in Japan. Watch me as I make some self-indulgent found family content with a very niche part of disney.

Feel free to ask more about Mika and the recruiters

A few warnings: Content is mostly sad since I can't seem to make ocs without torturing them or giving them tragic backstories. I was also kind of sad doing research about orphaned children in Japan.

Bio

As a baby, she was found on the doorstep of a child institution without a single piece of information to identify her biological family. Mika has lived in three institutions and with two different families. Her status of being an orphan has often left her friendless and discriminated within not just her school, but almost every place outside an institution.

Currently, Mika resides in her second foster home with the Arai family that neglects her and only took her in to get the government money. She works as a waitress at a diner in hopes of surviving the adult world once her foster family kicks her out after she graduates from high school or even sooner once she turns eighteen in November.

Meeting the Villain Recruiters

(I couldn't find a lot of information on if Japanese schools going to field trips to Disneyland, but for the sake of this plot, just go with it)

Mika's homeroom wins an all-expense school field trip to Tokyo DisneySea set during the week leading up to Halloween. Much to her delight, she gets the opportunity to attend the Disney Villain Recruiters Atmos show event and the Sailing Day Buffet event. Little does she know, the recruiters are not just actors, but actual henchman of infamous Disney villains.

...And all 10 of them are scouting her long after the trip is over.

Personality

While her twst counterpart, Minako has little sister energy being the youngest in her family, Mika in comparison has big sister vibes. On the surface level, Mika can seem childish due to her naivety and her need for attention from adults. However, she’s quite responsible as she is rather efficient at time-management between work and school, doing chores around the house, and even helping the child care workers take care of the younger children when she was still living in an institution.

Mika maintains a soft-spoken persona, but holds strong convictions about how unfairly institutionalized children are treated and how biological parents aren't always good parents. She is more perceptive than she lets on as she is well aware that the recruiters are making excuses to spend time with her in order to gain her favour and later be recruited. She rarely voices her opinions and inner thoughts out loud.

Having spent most of her childhood as a lonely orphan, she craves attention and affection from others, especially from adults. In spite of knowing the ulterior motives of the recruiters, she continues to consort with them as they were the closest thing she had to a group of friends.

Abilities

Unlike Minako, Mika is not a witch or that much of athlete, but she's near-indestructible. She doesn't know why. She can survive the heaviest falling debris, gunshot wounds, stabbing, decapitation poisoning, and cannot be burned by even hellfire. Mika has only gotten sick twice in her life, but her illnesses tend to hit very hard.

Hey, I only said "near-indestructible."

Other Facts

Up until she was six, Mika was called Hanako Yamada or Yamada Hanako in Japanese. And no, I don't mean the little sister from Yandere Simulator or the comedian. Hanako Yamada and Taro Yamada are the Japanese equivalent of Jane/John Doe.

Her first family that she was taken in by was a sweet elderly couple who adopted her when and legally changed her the name to Mika Masaki.

Mika was among the very few children who got to live with a family let alone two families, but only because she has no biological parents and other relatives that anyone knows about that can ask to take her back.

Mika's first adopted parents taught her plenty of basic life skills in cooking, cleaning, managing money, etc.

Unfortunately, her adopted parents were beginning to experience the first stages of dementia when Mika was ten and were deemed unfit to care for her. The Masakis were placed in a nursing home and Mika was forced to go to her third institution before eventually being taken in by an uncaring foster family a year later.

Relationships with the Recruiters: A Summary

I'll make a much more in depth version of the relationships another day. For now, take a summary of their general relationships with Mika.

They seem to know something about Mika's origins, but why? It's like she met a long time ago, but Mika can't put her finger on it. She knows that they're planning to recruit her, she just doesn't know why her specifically. And if they wanted her to be their team so bad, why are most of them so distrustful and acting like she could fold them like a lawn chair?

That's how it was at first. Over time, all ten of them grew to care for Mika and started empathizing for her situation. They are slightly yandere-ish because half of them don't know how to act like regular humans.

Mika has a few love interests from the group, mainly being Jack Heart and Apple Poison. Why? Because they're my favourites and I have to have romance. I had this scenario in mind on Mika's eighteenth birthday and Jack Heart was the first recruiter who made his official introduction to her and brought a tart for her birthday at the end of their wonderland shenanigans. This is still just him with ulterior motives but still.

How did the DVR AU gang find out about their villain recruiter look alikes' crushes and love feels? Did they tell them or did they just notice?

I kind of like to picture Dalmatia sitting by Dante and saying "I am in love. Oh fuck I'm in love why?!" in just panic after he realizes his feelings for PS

Some like Dalmatia had blurted out their feelings and explained who it was or chickened out due to shyness.

Apple and Jane are make people notice their crush. Apple is very subtle with it which makes people put pieces together slowly, meanwhile Jane is over the top with her pining; I'm talking about longing sighs, heart eyes and intense gazes.

Jane's pining makes their AU's slaps their foreheads, and peek and Jane and Vera in hoping they get the hint. When it didn't, they slap it harder.

[rose-tea-and-strawberries]

Hello! I have returned to expand a bit more to expand on the Disney Villain Recruiters in the House of Mouse AU.

Jack Heart, Apple Poison, and Eight Foot Joe are Yuu's big bros. Apple and Joe are more or less tsunderes about it. Ms. Hades and Lady Hock/Hook is also a tsundere big sisters (god, I wish the names for the Lady Recruiters were more creative. They just gave up on our girls.)

I remember mentioning Jack Heart secretly rooting for Ace. Man is pulling a Pain and Panic move by being a multi-shipper at the risk of getting decapitated by his Queen. I get the feeling that the Queen of Hearts is strictly a RiddleYuu shipper.

Mr. Dalmatia and Pretty Scar are rather clingy to Yuu as much as the animal children characters are. They will attack Crowley, Mortimer, and Pete in Yuu's honour. In spite of Pretty Scar's crush on Dalma, she tends to compete with him AND Tinkerbell for Yuu's attention.

Surprisingly, the ever so lethargic Eight Foot Joe gets in on the antics with Dalma and Pretty Scar when they torment Crowley. He knows what it's like to be overworked with little payback.

Malfie and Veil absolutely dote on Yuu and are the most passionate shippers of the recruiters, next to Pretty Scar. Unfortunately, both Malfie and Veil don't give the best advice to their biases, Malleus and Rollo respectively. Malfie can get a little too vain and shallow, while Veil is a little naive and sheltered when it comes to love being under Frollo's influence.

Speaking of Malfie, beauty is very important to him, so he likes to do Yuu's hair and makeup being all like "You're going to be the prettiest girl at the party!"

Hi! How are you? It's been so long since I've seen your name in my inbox 🥰

First of all, yeah, the girlies really need better PR because what are those names?

Secondly, yeah this seems accurate (I say despite having absolutely no idea what their characteristics/personalities are like).

Where would Mr Dalmatia be in the shipping war, though? Since his twst counterpart is Yuu's father figure, I guess he's just there to cause chaos with the potential suitors and their shippers.

Good lord, I can see Jack Heart rooting for Ace despite knowing the consequences - he does love an underdog (I bet he's like that one lone voice that yelled 'Hooray' during the Alice in Wonderland film when the King of Hearts made his entrance). I bet there are card soldiers that know about it but keep quiet so that the Queen doesn't lose her temper.

I just love the chaos of all of it. Diablo just sighs and wonders how he's the only competent henchmen out of all of them.

Disney Villain Recruiters Personalities: Part 9

The lawless lassie on land! The duchess of doubloons! The swashbuckling sailor of the seven seas, herself!

Put your hands of all kinds together for:

Lady Hock! (Or Hook)

For those of you who don't know, the Disney Villain Recruiters was a Tokyo Disneyland-only show held every Halloween. Basically, the minions of famous Disney villains come to our world to try and tempt us to join their villain bosses.

- By the way, they are not the sons, daughters, or genderbent versions of the villains. They are just minions.

- Also! I do not speak Japanese. Thankfully, there were a few that had English subtitles, but not a lot. These are just my interpretations of her based on the videos I've seen, along with my own personal ideas about his character. So, let's get started!

Lady Hock (Hook)🪝

Working as part of Captain James Hook's crew, Hock is one of the only underlings, aside from Mr. Smee, who her master trusts the most.

No one truly knows Hock's origin, but most speculate that, similarly to most residents of Neverland, were transported to the sacred land decades, or even centuries ago, by chance or destiny. Hock, perhaps, was a troubled young woman living in England who desired to escape her former life. Regardless, her heart belongs to the ocean and the boundless adventures Neverland has to offer, and whatever her life was before this place, before her joining her captain's crew, is long forgotten. Good riddance! Or, perhaps not...

Despite her stoicism, Hock is very social, charismatic, and gentlemanly to her fellow female recruiters, who she makes a habit of escorting on stage. Perhaps her behavior comes from the fact that she has been surrounded by men, her crew, for most of her life. She even speaks in a more masculine tone to her relatively quiet voice, all of which, in turn, makes her more "prince-like" in comparison to most of her colleagues.

As she is a pirate though, Hock has a mischievous side to her, often pulling pranks on the male recruiters, such as hiding props or annoying them by casually placing her arms on their shoulders.

As is befitting of her home in Neverland, Hock adores children and has been seen by many guests comforting little ones and caring for sleeping babies. This, along with her friendly, laid-back personality, makes Hock a fan favorite among guests and her colleagues.

Captain Hook: In spite of his temper and occasional bumbling on missions, Hock cares for her captain. Unlike most of the recruiters, Hock has the luxury of having an almost casual relationship with her master, as he views her and Smee as his closets confidantes, as proven by Hook trusting Hock with his famous hook hand that she carries around the park. She understands Hook's emotional vulnerability since she is aware of his insecurities and remains incredibly loyal despite his faults. However, Hock is aware of her captain's more sadistic side, and while she may harbor hatred for Peter Pan, Hock understands that the young boy is just that: a boy. Though, while she can excuse most actions taken by Hook and the rest of the crew against Peter, as he has magic that none of them have, she cannot excuse her captain's actions against Wendy, her brothers, and the lost boys; they are innocent children in her eyes.

Mr. Smee: Hock and Smee have an amicable relationship, as the two of them are the only ones to speak to Hook in a less formal capacity, even though they hold a slight fear of their captain, Smee most of all. Hock appreciates Smee's kind and gentle nature, perhaps reminding her of someone in her distant past. They have a strong bond between them, and while Hook dismisses their more kind and empathetic nature's as weakness, Hock and Smee understand each other. Maybe someday, should something ever happen to their captain, Lady Hock and Mr. Smee could rule the seven seas together, high-stake adventures and all, but more peaceful.

Peter Pan: Although Peter is her master's enemy, and she despises him for getting in her Hook's way, Hock can admit that his pranks on the captain make for good fun, and a challenge to capture the boy whatever it takes. Hock is not nearly as obsessed with capturing Peter like Hook is, preferring to travel and find sacred treasures, but that doesn't mean she won't try! She will strike, and she strikes fierce and hard. There is no escape from her. However, Hock refuses to kill him or any of the children they may fight, only wanting to wound or stop them however she can. Peter or Wendy may see this, this compassion she holds within, and talk to her one-on-one. Maybe the "boy who never grows up" isn't so bad after all. Annoying, yes, but not worth killing.

Apple Poison: If there is one thing about Apple that most of the recruiters are not aware of, is his fear of sharp objects. As such, he can't stand look at hook Lady H carries for longer than a few seconds. And the poor elder will get slightly irritated by her pranks and trying to steal his apple to eat. Aside from that, Apple and Hock have a fairly peaceful relationship. He appreciates that she's not as chaotic as Jack or Dalmatia, and is a lot more tolerable than the latter two. He also admires her for her ability to charm and comfort guests, even though she may be more sincere than she lets on.

Jack Heart: These two have a more "mature but still fun older sister" and "goofball little brother" relationship. While she may not approve of ALL the pranks Jack pulls, especially towards Veil, Hock often joins in on the fun. They have been seen playfully fencing and cracking jokes together. The little squabbles she and Dalma have are entertaining to watch, but because Dalma is more sensitive and prone to irritation, Jack will calmly stop the argument. And hey! Anyone who can pick on Apple and get away with it is a friend in his book.

Malfie (Malfi): Hock loves to mess with Malfie; a perfect target due to his ego. Especially when he stutters during his dramatic "I'm the most beautiful creature to ever exist" speech. She often steals his mirror right out of hands to check herself in the mirror, or just to startle him. Either way, Malfie doesn't appreciate being a target of ridicule, but that's not new, given Jack and Dalmatia's behavior towards him. The two of them have a pleasant relationship, all in all, and he might join in on the pranks every once in a while if he's up for it. Just don't touch his hat!

Eight Foot Joe: Hock doesn't find Joe to be so bad to be around. They don't really interact a lot, but that's partly because of Joe's hesitation to talk to women, aside from Ms. Hades. As a result, she doesn't bother pranking him as much as the others, though she may steal his umbrella from time to time. Once he and Ms. Hades have interacted long enough, Lady H becomes the second female recruiter he trusts the most. They might bond over their shared love of the sea, and how they both feel slightly homesick, despite Joe's less than enthusiastic experience at home. So, they have a fairly passive relationship.

Mr. Dalmatia: Hock's habit of treating Dalmatia more like a dog than a person irks the speckled canine to no end. She enjoys annoying him by using him as an arm rest, and playing fetch with him, much to his slight dismay. However, they share a likeness for stealing their colleague's stuff, and they have fun doing so. Both Hock and Dalma are great friends with Jack, so they have to interact with one another. But they themselves are good friends and enjoy each other's company. Besides, Dalma would take Hock over Pretty Scar any day (for now at least).

Pretty Scar (Mzuri): Although Lady Hock has a high tolerance rate for the people around her, she tends to avoid attracting the young hyena's attention. Hock doesn't despise Pretty Scar as much as others might, but she can find her cutesy persona grating at times. She does find it hilarious, however, that such a "cute" young woman can eat as much or as violently as she does. Hock is used to this, of course, given how disgusting most of her captain's men eat back at home. Mzuri admires Hock and looks up to her as a big sister, and over time, Hock helps Mzuri relax and comforts her as any good big sister would do. They'll get there, all it takes character is development!

Ms. Hades: Ah, the den mother, and one of Hock's greatest friends. The fire maiden and pirate gal are somewhat of an unlikely duo, but they certainly make up the collection of colleagues who are on good terms with one another. Despite how Hock's pranks, sword fighting, and overall pirateness can cause chaos and a lot of damage to their theme park home, she makes up for it in her laid-back attitude, self-control, and fabulous charisma. Hock, meanwhile, appreciates Ms. Hades' maturity, even if she may be a stick in the mud at times (though not nearly as often as Apple). Generally speaking, the two care for and respect each other, like sisters!

Veil: Hock and Veil are incredibly close and consider each other best friends. They have been seen holding hands, linking arms, gazing into each other's eyes...caressing each other's faces.......something tells me that these two are a bit more than just friends. Maybe, or they're just incredibly cuddly. No judgment here. Either way, it's adorable. Hock is protective of Veil, defending her from Jack when the card and bell clash in an argument or if the former goes too far with teasing her. Hock knows that despite Veil's "mysterious" nature, she's secretly insecure about herself, and based on her experience with her captain, Hock knows how to help boost Veil's spirits. Friendship? Sisterhood? Lovers? Doesn't matter! These two love each other.

Faja (Farja): These two are the female versions of Jack and Dalma. Chaos just follows them everywhere! Best friends and practically sisters, Faja is always excited to get up to some mischief, intentionally or not. Hock is used to seeing magic on account of her living on an island existing within a star, so she'll sit next to Faja, maybe sharpening her sword to pass the time, while the erratic bird lady unsuccessfully creates a potion. Hock is one of the first to calm Faja down when she's on one of her shouting rampages when she's frustrated, which is often. Again, older sister energy is a common feeling within the ladies' group.

Overall: Lady Hock is a confident, friendly, and not-so-secretly kindhearted "villain" whose previous experience with her fellow pirates and residents of Neverland has helped the lass develop her social skills, in comparison to her more socially inept colleagues.

As much as she cares deeply for her captain, Hock's refusal for harming children may one day lead her to oppose him. And her experience with her new crew, her new friends, her new family, may lead her to betray her old family.

Only time will tell...may the ocean breeze guide Hock the right way.

Author's Note: Thank you all so much for your patience, I know that it's taken me an eternity and a half to get this done, and I apologize for that. However! While we may be almost done with this series, this won't be the end of me talking about the Villain Recruiters forever! Nope! I have a few ideas in mind, but for now, stay tuned for the very last Personality Page: Faja (Farja)!

[jinxthejubilee]

Hey there!! I’m come here as soon as i saw that you write nd draw for Villain recruiters bc there is not enough writes of the babies,,so, i remember seeing on a post (don’t really remember if it was yours or if it was other person) a headcanon that said “Malfie has a soft spot for children” and that make me think about how would the other recruiters be with children (platonic ofc), could you write some headcanons abt it? Whatever makes you feel comfortable!

First of all, thank you so much! I'm also glad that you've enjoyed my work so far! Second, I'm not quite sure if I headcanoned that or not, BUT! It sounds too cute to not write about.

So, in honor of your ask, let's get into the cuteness!

The Villain Recruiters with Children

Apple Poison 🍎

Before his inevitable character development, Apple kept his distance from children whilst on the job.

He didn't hate children, but his aloof nature definitely gave an ominous vibe towards guests. Though his politeness and bluntness were, somehow, what drove kids to Apple.

As his icy exterior melts away, Apple begins to indulge in the children's games, silly requests, or just them asking for company.

This was made possible thanks to his crazy, vibrant coworkers who became a family. Especially Pretty Scar, who, in all her annoyance, helped train Apple to adjust to children's behavior. He's dealt with the hyena girl's shenanigans on a regular basis, dealing with normal children is a cakewalk compared to her.

Jack Heart ❤️

Oh, Jack loves these little buggers!

Entertaining the kids during the stage shows is the highlight of his day. The laughter, the cheers, the excitement! It practically fuels him with joy and the strength to keep performing.

Jack adores children! He'll play tricks and pranks to make them laugh. He doesn't mind babies either! If they start crying, he'll make goofy faces or dance to help them smile again.

Just a warning, though, chaos always follows Jack wherever he goes, being from Wonderland and all, so if he somehow ends up babysitting, know that your house will end up burning down.

Malfi (Malfie) 🪞

Malfi's not super into kids, but he enjoys their company more than Apple.

He's more than willing to show himself in all of his handsome glory off anytime for them, but he's not used to all of affection they tend to give him. They ruin his hair!

He does have a soft spot for them, though. They may ruffle his feathers from time to time, but he can't bring himself to dislike them at all.

Malfi had a difficult childhood, on account of his parents following nature's guidelines in throwing him out of the nest because they deemed him as "weak." He never had anyone to look up to, other than Maleficent, and his days before her were quite lonely.

Beauty and childhood innocence are sacred to Malfi, so if he can brighten up a kids' day with his gorgeous self, whatever happens is worth it.

Eight Foot Joe 🐙

Joe's not the biggest fan of kids, nor does he have the energy to deal with them.

Before he became more socialible, he would do everything he possibly could to get away from the kids.

If someone, particularly a little girl, is wearing an Ariel costume, Joe will scream at them to try and get them to go away. It's not the kid's fault, he just has trauma surrounding the royal family and Ursula back at home.

Eventually, Joe will realize that making a decent impression on the public is part of his job, so he'll get used to it. Again, he's very socially awkward, so interacting with anyone, let alone children, will take some getting used to.

That "I have no idea what to do" phase will fade soon enough. He'll accept children in a very "tired uncle" way.

Mr. Dalmatia 🐾

Dalma is surprisingly good with kids despite his slight prissiness.

Dalmatians themselves are a very energetic and active breed, so most kids enjoy having the dog recruiter around.

He may get scolded for running around like a dog in his human form, but no one can or really cares to stop him. By playing with the kids, he's technically still doing his job, so why bother?

On some days he will be more irritated than usual, like if the babies are too loud, his coat gets ruined, or is just having an off day, but other than that, bring them over!

Pretty Scar (Mzuri) ✨️

Children are adorable, and so is Mzuri, so of course, she loves kids to pieces!

Being a hyena and all, she's used to interacting with dozens of kids at the same time. Playtime is funtime, so long as her hair, dress, or makeup don't get ruined.

While her colleagues might find her obnoxious, she finds solace in the fact that the kids like her, so that's more than enough!

Ms. Hades 🔥

As the designated mom of the group, Ms. Hades is quite the expert at dealing with children responsibly.

She may not understand everything, given that she's spent all of her immortal life in the Underworld and heard all kinds of stories about betrayal, family murder, and massive family drama from Olympus, but upon realizing that their world is massively different than hers, she understands soon enough.

Sometimes, she'll spot children and their parents having fun and doing family things, and eventually, she gets a better understanding of human life and culture.

She becomes more friendly and hospitable towards the kids, and while she's still fairly strict with rough housing, she won't get too heated over it.

Veil 🔔

Veil was once incredibly uncomfortable towards children while she was still in France. Her childhood was full of abuse and neglect, and she found refuge in the church with the infamous Claude Frollo. All of this put together made her socially inept outside of her normal duties.

Despite that, however, working with the recruiters and talking to staff and customers has improved her social skills. She's even found that children are far easier to talk to once she grew to understand them.

Her singing voice often puts fussy babies or rambunctious youngsters to sleep, much to the parent's delight. The praise she earns for it sends her over the moon with joy.

Lady Hock (Hook) 🪝

Ah, the suave and adventurous pirate lady! A lover of the seas and of boisterous little tykes!

Similarly to Malfi, Hock wishes to protect the innocence and wonder of children. As such, she will grant the desires of any child who asks of her, whether their requests be sword fighting on the roof or singing sea shanties on stage.

Faja (Farja) 🌹

As much as Faja likes kids and their enjoyment of her magic tricks, she's still the hothead of the group. Patience is most definitely not her virtue.

Babies crying can get on her nerves real fast, and she doesn't have Ms. Hades' calm and collected nature, or Jack's funnyman persona, to help her out. But since she's around kids a lot (again, this is Disneyland), she gets more used to it. It still annoys her, though.

Faja will make the kids laugh, unintentionally, when her spells backfire, and she'll either be furious with them seemingly making fun of her for it, or she'll droop down like her flower in defeat.

But! If the spell, by some miracle, actually works and the kids applaud or demand an encore, Faja will be more than happy to oblige.

She may be more of a"spunky aunt" type than a "mom" type, but that doesn't mean she won't get all sappy when the kids say that they love or that she's their favorite out of all the recruiters. She'll just start bawling.

Disney Villain Recruiters Personalities: Part 8

The damsel of dings! The canary of clings and clangs! The bell of the ball! !

Introducing: Veil!

For those of you who don't know, the Disney Villain Recruiters was a Tokyo Disneyland-only show held every Halloween. Basically, the minions of famous Disney villains come to our world to try and tempt us to join their villain bosses.

Warning: This particular Personality Page will include descriptions and themes of the corrupt church and bigotry seen in the Hunchback of Notre Dame movie/novel. If you are not comfortable with this, please heed this warning.

- By the way, they are not the sons, daughters, or genderbent versions of the villains. They are just minions.

- Also! I do not speak Japanese. Thankfully, there were a few that had English subtitles, but not a lot. These are just my interpretations of her based on the videos I've seen, along with my own personal ideas about his character. So, let's get started!

Veil 🔔

As the humanoid incarnation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame's greatest symbol, Veil was employed by Claude Frollo, to spread the word of God and keep her master in power.

Now, as for her backstory, unlike most of the recruiters who were either created through magic or born an animal, I believe it would be best for Veil to have been a simple human, rather than the bell coming to life. However, unlike Quasimodo, who was taken in and raised as a baby and was subsequently conditioned by Frollo, similar to a few other recruiters, Veil's backstory involves her own family.

Veil grew up very poor, living in a small house with her mother and father. Both of her parents were cruel, harsh, and clearly unfit to care for a child, but the only reason why they chose to have one was to use Veil for the sole purpose of child labor. At a young age, Veil was expected to do her part: cooking, cleaning, and being the target of her parents' frustration and anger throughout the day.

With no one to turn to, Veil found solace in the church, praying every day for the Lord to grant her the strength to keep going. Eventually, Frollo is introduced to her after a few kind-hearted members of the church take pity on her and call upon Archdeacon for help. Frollo, under moral obligation, takes the young girl in as his pupil.

Veil has been described as an almost "mysterious" figure by the three hosts of the show. A woman who is both sophisticated and quiet, yet loud, proud, and displays a lack of understanding or regard for, at least some, social cues. As a member of the church choir, she's displays her talent every chance she gets, much to the dismay of most of the recruiters.

Despite her "odd" behavior, she displays a cheerful disposition regarding her work as a recruiter, only outdone by Pretty Scar. Like the rest of the coworkers, she heavily disliked all of them in some way at first, especially with the way most of them would react negatively to her voice. Veil was not very social when they all first met, viewing most of them as "unworthy in God's eyes." However, she realizes how precious they are to her, even the ones she sees as rivals on the stage, and how hypocritical she was acting, as though she was somehow better than all of them. She can puff out like a peacock all she wants, but in reality, she is still that lost, scared little girl who longs for acceptance from somewhere, anywhere. Veil has friends now, true friends that she could easily call "family," and she will hold onto this family until her last curtain calls.

Monseigneur Claude Frollo: Her master and her father-figure, Veil has worshipped the Minister of Paris for most of her life, and very rarely questioned him, even though she is not as close to him as she wants to be. However, she adore him all the same. In her eyes, anyone who was punished by the Archdeacon of France, in her mind, it was rightfully deserved. After all, he was the proud, devoted enforcer of virtue and justice, how could he possibly commit any sins when it is the will of God? However, she had never really seen his "darker, unholy nature," of which a sadistic, savage beast laid dorment until he could sink his teeth into his victims once again. Veil hadn't seen her master for the delusional, bigoted madman that he was...until she came back from the recruitment program. With fresher eyes and a better understanding of the world, she returns back to her station, by her master, as she always should, and always would be, but it doesn't feel quite right anymore. She was no longer a blind follower, she had evolved, but just enough that she dared to ask Frollo for lesser sentences for the accused sinners; she wasn't strong enough yet. She still believed that her master was a righteous man. That was, until Esmerelda came along and Quasimodo grew stronger as a person. Will Veil see through Frollo's deception as a man of the Lord for what he really is? Or will she forever be a puppet at the hands of the corrupt church? Well, that is only up to her.

Quasimodo: Their relationship is...complicated. They have known each other since they were children, but that does not make them close at all. Due to his appearance and his job as the bell ringer, Quasimodo has hardly interacted with Veil. She was never awful or rude to him, but she was strict and acted coldly around him and other people. She does envy him, however, that he has a closer relationship with her master than she does. And that envy extends to Esmerelda, who has been granted numerous audiences with him. Due to her sheltered upbringing and brainwashing from Frollo, Veil doesn't understand why Quasimodo would betray their father for Esmerelda and his friends. That being said, she also doesn't truly understand why Frollo would want to kill Esmerelda when she hasn't committed any real crimes. Her master wouldn't kill an innocent for no reason! He wouldn't! ...Would he? Veil would feel very torn about this. Should she choose to renounce Frollo as her master and her father in the end, I see her and Quasimodo becoming very close, and together, they would help the town and bring the church to its former glory, where everyone is welcome.

Apple Poison: As the resident father/big brother figure, and one of the eldest among the recruiters, Veil respects Apple's authority for the most part. Occasionally, he may get on her nerves due his constant arguments with Jack Heart, and when he covers his ears when she's singing, but Apple, more often than not, praises her for her singing, which she very much appreciates. And anyone who can keep Jack on his toes, is an ally in Apple's book. They are not very close, but they have a genuine respect and understanding of each other.

Jack Heart: Jack is one of Veil's coworkers who really gets under her skin. They are rivals on the stage, and as much as Veil tries to be patient and humble about it, she equally wants to be seen and recognized for her talent, and Jack, the little mischievous bugger that he is, keeps getting in the way of that! Veil is often frustrated by Jack's antics, even once exclaiming that she "hates Jack more than dogs!" However, they do recognize each other's abilities, which they both reluctantly respect. They learn to tolerate each other more as the months and years go by, then they develop a more teasing, less violent relationship.

Malfie (Malfi): In comparison to Jack, Malfie does not nearly get on her nerves as much, but that's not saying a lot. They aren't "rivals" per se, since they mostly give off "close bickering cousins" energy. The two of them do seem to enjoy each other's company though, as Malfie seems to be one of the first to applaud her singing. And despite numerous instances with Veil knocking the ever-egotistical raven down a peg with the phrase: "Even though you're just Malfie," she appears content being around him. In summary, "close bickering cousins," is definitely the vibe you can expect from this pair.

Eight Foot Joe: According to Veil herself, she's not particularly involved with Joe, nor is she very close to him, but she doesn't hate him. Although she doesn't appreciate the octopus covering his ears every time he hears her sing (It's not his fault, Veil. He's sensitive.) Plus, I'm positive that with all of the mythical beings of the sea, he's had to have encountered sirens before. Moreover, there have been times when Joe lacks the spirit of the season and Veil tugs on his arm to get him to follow directions, much to her slight annoyance. But hey! Joe is one of the more competent members of the group, so she can't complain to much about him.

Mr. Dalmatia: Unfortunately for both Veil and Dalma, Veil has dog allergies, so her bias against the former dalmatian is most likely due to her ailment. That, or the fact that Dalma likes to tease Veil by stealing her bell to play with it. Or his and Jack's pranks against her. Or him constantly going near and bothering her in his dog form when he knows about her allergies... Okay, so maybe there are a few good reasons as to why their relationship is pretty tenuous. But! Like it or not, Veil is a member of Dalmatia's pack, a family that they both care for dearly, and that includes each other. They find a way to tolerate one another as the years go by. For example, Veil's lullabies, if they're quiet enough (again, sensitive ears), put him right to sleep. Give it up for the epitome of a pesky sibling relationship.

Pretty Scar (Mzuri): As stated before with many of the recruiters, Pretty Scar is not the most popular among them, with Veil being no exception. Veil acts distant around the hyena, simply addressing her as "Scar," while the latter refers to her as "Aunt Chillin', Chillin', possibly referring to Veil more cold and standoffish demeanor. So suffice to say, they are not on great terms. However, Mzuri's charm and efforts to get along with Veil, warms the bell ringer's heart. Just a tad. Similar to Dalma, Veil's lullabies are one of the only things that can soothe the savage beast, with her singing reminding Mzuri of the few songs she remembers of her childhood. Again, these two may not be close, but Pretty Scar views Veil as her older sister and a member of her cackle, so she's going to need to get used to it.

Ms. Hades: Another coworker who she views as a respectable authority figure. Veil appears to be on good terms with Ms. Hades, even though the fire maiden often questions Veil's devotion to her master, as Frollo clearly thinks highly of himself as a god-like figure, to which he is not. In her infinite lifetime, Ms. Hades has seen countless mortals fall to the depths of Tartarus for their crimes against humanity, most of which were driven by an uncountable amount of pride; Ms. Hades is simply offering Veil a warning in advance. Other than that, the older of the two helps Veil whenever she can, whether that be in advice, or when Veil struggles with her poses. All in all, they are great friends!

Lady Hock (Hook): Her own partner in crime! Lady H is Veil's best friend and most trusted confidant. The pair are often seen displaying affection for one another: linking arms, hugging, and Hock is Veil's biggest cheerleader when she sings for the crowds, and perhaps even join her! Should Jack and Dalma take their pranking streak too far, these gals are the first to jump on the opportunity to get them back. In a way, Hock inspires Veil, she isn't completely devoted to her captain as she is with her Master Frollo. Through her companionship with Hock and the others, this all may convince Veil to cut ties with Frollo...maybe someday...

Faja (Farja): If Hock is Veil's best friend, then Faja comes at a close second. Despite Faja more annoying and/or troublesome tendencies, including her lack of understanding of magic, her constant fights with Malfie, and her general Iago-like attitude, she and Veil are on surprisingly good terms. Perhaps it was their common goal of impressing their masters and earning a place alongside them that brought them together, maybe it was the opposites attract dynamic they have as one of the loudest and quietest members of the team, but they just...work. Veil may be distant and accidentally sarcastic due to her lack of social skills, but she means well and encourages Faja to do her best. Especially if it's against Malfie. Faja, meanwhile, is as equally supportive and appreciates Veil's patience during her more moody moments or crazy outbursts. What more can I say, they just work!

Overall: In spite of Veil's initial distaste for her colleagues, she finds herself more and more thankful for the friendships she was denied long ago as a child. Her distance towards them was not truly out of disapproval, but out of fear for rejection and her craving closeness of any kind with anyone, but not understanding how or why.

Regardless, she cares for each of them dearly, even if she has a difficult time expressing that to certain recruiters. Their time together and the lessons learned along the way may not be in vain when she inevitably returns. Should Veil overcome her sense of unworthiness, she could move forward and bring honor to the bloodstained church once again when her master meets his well-deserved fate. The question is: Can she surpass that fear?

Author's Note: Thank you all so much for your patience! I know that I promised to finished the ladies in time for Halloween, but shenanigans and a gargantuan amount of essays can reeeaallly slurp up your creative juices. But again, I'm sorry and I appreciate you all waiting. Next up is Lady Hock, and if I'm honest, I'm not quite sure what to do with her backstory yet. But I'll figure it out, I promise that at least!

With that being said, thank you all so much for reading! Have a safe and fantastic day! And I'll see you later! Byeee! 💗

[jinxthejubilee]

HEEEEYY!! The fluff anon is back? Yeah (๑>◡<๑)

Random ask that just came to my head while listening to rät by penelope scott: do u have any song that reminds you of the recruiters? I don’t know why, but the song said before reminds me a lot of them, especially to Appoi because there is this line that says: “I bite the apple cuz I loved you” and i immediately said “APPLE POISON” lmao i just can’t hear the word apple without thinking about him

Hello! I'm not sure exactly. I haven't really thought about specific songs that remind me of them, but I've thought about song genres. We all know that Veil is into choir and opera, but the others...hmm.

Sea shanties for Hock.

Classical music for Apple and Ms. Hades.

African tribal music, jazz, and cutsy esque pop songs for Pretty Scar.

Broadway-esque and rock songs for Malfi.

Rhythm and blues for Joe.

Middle Eastern music and pop for Faja.

Nearly everything for Jack and Dalma. Those two get wild.

[jinxthejubilee]

So we know what the girls are in Hock but what would Hock fall for in Veil I wonder

If I had to hatch a guess, I'd say her politeness, calm demeanor, and her somewhat oblivious charm.

I'm sure that living with a bunch of dudes on a ship for several years doesn't come with much respect day to day, especially as a woman. It's nice having someone around who treats you with respect, despite how closed off Veil was at first.

Calmness is a great trait to have. Veil definitely has her moments of sass and loud moments, but she's usually quiet. And people who talk less make for great listeners and secret keepers, so trust can be checked off there.

Finally, because of Veil's upbringing and involvement with the church, Veil was very sheltered. As a result, she's a bit uneducated in societal etiquette outside of strict rules and teachings. So, Hock would love to help her get used to having fun and step outside her comfort zone without getting under her skin (*cough Jack cough*).

So yeah, I think they'd be cute together. If not Hock, then maybe Jack.
