Diamond Crown Academy: Dorm Leader Edition

Diamond Crown Academy is an OC school in Twisted Wonderland. It is an all-girls school and teaches magic and how to become an Idol like Aikatsu, etc.

The Dorm leaders here are based on the Disney Princesses including Mulan and Alice in Wonderland.

Since @phoenix-manga finished the new redesign for Briar(twist from Aurora), I've been editing the dorm leaders together like this in Discord. I'm happy they're all finished.

Elu is hesitant in new things but tries to keep an open mind. It’s difficult to adjust because she is unsure of what would happen if she tries something new and it might end up a bad experience. Not to mention growing up in an isolated village doesn’t give her enough exposure to foreign cultures.

Locals in her homeland know her to be a strong-willed girl who can be brutally honest because she intends to fix the problem right away, she believes that sugar-coating would delay the solution and make it worse. Though she does feel a little bad if someone cries from her criticism.

Being a beastman, she is very agile with a keen sense of smell as well as strength that surpasses humans. She often goes out hunting with the older members of the group and she displays full cooperation with other teammates.

But another thing to note is that she is a black bear beastman, her temperament is calm but she has a thin patience and she will growl or roar in anger. Despite being so small, she has incredible physical strength.

One thing she dislikes is when the team is unstable and problematic, she would quickly abandon that group and do the job herself or find another that’s got their heads together. She’d rather have the task done quickly and efficiently with no side tracking.

Unfortunately, this gives off the impression that she’s cold and unsociable which is far from the truth. She just needs to tone down a little bit.

Elu is actually mature and gives advice for those who can’t look after themselves. She enjoys the simple things in life and can have her moments where she spouts words of wisdom that makes others think she’s a wise, old sage.

Hometown: Bearland Woods

Family History

She grew up in a village where the locals rarely or never interact with outsiders. They aren’t against having outsiders visit but it was clear they don’t know how to handle interacting with people living different lifestyles.

The villagers are all beastmen who are mostly of the bear genus, though there are some who are deer and raccoon. Everyone knows each other and treat each other as if they were all family. Which means they don’t stand idly by if one of them gets hurt.

But they’ve been especially wary of outsiders after a group of shady businessmen started causing problems for them. Some of their people were imprisoned and branded as the bad guys when they retaliated.

They know nothing about the modern laws of the urban society and are pressured to take deals that would only benefit the other party. Thankfully, her father was a firm man and kept refusing them every time. But it won’t be long until they use every influence they have to chase them out of their home.

Elu is upset by these people and how they seem to be driven by their greed. It doesn’t help that they would disrupt the environment with their logging and illegal dumping.

Unlike city folk, life in her village was simple yet satisfying. They take what they need from the forest while also respecting the cycle of life. They don’t hunt out of vanity or pride. The males usually do the hunting but there have been women who are capable enough to hunt alongside them.

Due to Elu’s elder brother being born with weak body, she has taken the task of hunting for food and foraging. She has been taught knowledge on how to traverse the land and recognize edible and non-edible plants from her father.

Childhood Memories

Elu has a fond memory of her father protecting her from a bison that wandered too close, her father struggled but he overpowered the animal and sent it away from their borders. His tall stature and rough features may have come off as intimidating to others but to Elu he was her hero.

She wanted to be like him so she does everything she can to make him proud. Even courageously taking the chance to leave home to attend DCA in order to help their village.

There was an unpleasant memory where she was told to stay in the house by her father but she got curious and peeked to see these formally dressed businessmen. Whatever they said made her father mad, he eventually sent them away.

But what happened after that was scarred into her memory, a couple of houses in her village were suddenly set ablaze, her brother nearly losing his life when he was trapped in the rubble.

She smelled the source of the fire when the businessmen returned, they smelled like gasoline, when she cried out that they were the culprits. They mocked her by asking if they even have any solid evidence as well as a lawyer, implying that her village wouldn’t win because they have the money and power to make it their victory.

Elu’s rage from what the businessmen said made her determined to focus for the benefit of her village but this in turn made her closed off to outsiders. Afraid they would be like the businessmen, lying through their teeth.

Like Jinlong, she has trouble adjusting to the school life due to the culture shock. So, she often keeps to herself while occasionally asking the professors for advice when Elu feels like there was no other option. Which is the reason why she struggled a lot at first.

Not to mention, she doesn’t understand the concept of idol concerts and what the purpose of this was. She isn’t familiar with the pop songs or rock, she was more of a traditionalist but she felt like not many people would be interested in that.

She was at a loss for what she was doing and if she was even trying hard enough. Until Perrine approached her and made Elu comfortable enough to finally figure out how to get used to the school environment and subjects enough to guarantee her that she won’t need to drop out of school.

Putting her inventing skills to use, she does a lot of favors in exchange for what she needs, be it some notes or tutoring. In time, she got better and has gained a reputation for herself in school. Elu thinks that it’s only a small group but in reality she helped a lot of people and they admire her a lot.

Her grades are fairly decent but it was clear that she started to improve the more she managed to understand the foreign subjects. Not among the top students but still high around the B grade.

An excellent archery shooter who can shoot with high accuracy even when on horseback. She is known to even shoot arrows through ring holes as small as a pinky finger.

School Relationships

Elu mostly kept to herself and her “strictly business” attitude made it difficult for idle chit chat. It wasn’t until she was forced to seek out the help of other students that she learns to communicate more.

Even though she was still a bit professional, she at least made progress. She’s learned to try out new things little by little and learn more about new topics.

Perrine was the first to approach her and wasn’t thrown off by Elu’s reluctance. She managed to win her over just a bit with food because who doesn’t? Plus, it would help the girl relax a little and feel welcome.

Rozeline and Elu started off as acquaintances who exchanged information of interest until they became close enough to consider each other as friends in a way. Elu figured she could gain knowledge she needed from Rozeline and in turn can hope to put her issues in the urban public.

Elu found Rozeline’s inventions innovative and would take notes from her, but she’s sure to also provide her own feedback on how to make it eco-friendly while still efficient.

Jinlong was an enigma to Elu, she has never seen other beastmen let alone something like a dragonkin like Jinlong. So, she is both intrigued but also intimidated. When she got to know Jinlong by chance, she began to admire her. Their goals were different but they both relate to feeling out of place, but unlike Elu who was hesitant at first, Jinlong pushed through and got to her position.

Skilli sees Elu as this lost bear cub who is figuring out the right path, but with so many things she doesn’t know, finding the right path seems impossible. Skilli’s form is from Elu’s desire to find the way to settle her problems that won’t end in turmoil.

Skilli shares her knowledge to Elu as well as guide her to opening her eyes to new things she won’t find from the comforts of her home. Skilli teaches her how to cherish those differences in order to understand the world better. The fairy is the wisest and the most patient out of all the dorm fairies.

Matelot

She is a woodpecker and acts as Elu’s scout, always on the lookout for anything of interest from the treetops. Matelot often marks using symbols that Elu recognizes, she even knows Morse code.

Matelot is very quiet and likes to hide her presence, often scaring people and other animals when she starts pecking away. An animal of very little words, she talks softly into people’s ears before leaving the conversation.

Tala

She is a gypsy vanner horse with a calm temperament. No matter what chaos goes on in the background she just goes, “Oh, the usual?” then does her own thing. But when it’s an emergency, she can go from calm to serious when needed.

Elu often rides on her back to drive away approaching danger. Tala is also powerful enough to push away fallen trees and break small boulders.

Her Unique Magic is called, “Arrow of the Wind”, she can control any direction her arrows to follow her targets with a special wind spell that only she can cast. She can make the wind faster and therefore have a greater impact on the arrows.

She can also use it as a shield, any projectiles within her line of sight can be slowed down or be redirected back to her opponent.

Elu’s magical capability is mostly nature based. Though these abilities are used to benefit her village more than mainly using them for combat, unless she needed to as a last resort. She seeks to use her skills in creating more contraptions that make life easier but not at the cost of the ecosystem.

Mato Sorrel

The chief of their village, he is a large bear beastman who is strong enough to carry about five pine logs. He is having trouble with the businessmen who try to trespass their land and try to trick him into signing a ‘beneficial’ contract, he refuses every time because he didn’t have the opportunity to gain outside knowledge. He isn’t narrow-minded to think that outsiders are greedy but he just hopes that his daughter will be able to handle herself in the academy and hopefully bring an end to the trespassers.

Alo Sorrel (23)

He has a weak body so he isn’t able to hunt or participate in activities involving strength, he chooses to help the village to advance economically while keeping the environment in mind. He often sends letters to Elu to inform her what has been happening in the village. He feels guilty that he can’t do much to prevent trespassers from walking all over their homeland due to his weak body.

The character’s name, “Elu” means “Full of Grace” and is a name of Native American origin while the last name, “Sorrel”, means “reddish brown”. The artist just thought this last name sounded better fitting for the character despite the meaning.

Elu’s dorm, Sagamore, was considered to be the equivalent of the Savanaclaw in NRC. Most of the students there are beastmen much like Savanaclaw. Though, Dragonstone, also shares this comparison but Sagamore has more beastmen than Dragonstone does.

She was originally going to be written with the same wise and calm personality like Pocahontas but then it was changed to be a tougher personality with the sense of adventure and navigation like John Smith. The calm personality went to her brother.

The artist chose to assign a bear to Elu as a nod to Brother Bear as well as to fit the characteristic of someone that looks cute but is actually fierce.

Elu was the hardest to design since the first design had too much details and took the longest to draw, not to mention drawing a mechanical bow was difficult for the artist since contraptions are tricky.

The artist is open to criticism and opinions regarding Native American culture since the internet isn’t always helpful.

DCA Info Part 33: Meet Elu Sorrel 🐻

Elu Sorrel (エル・ソレル, Eru Soreru) is the dorm leader of Sagamore. A young princess from a tribe of forest beastmen who excels at archery and is currently having issues dealing with settlers who desire to take her homeland for its resources.

History

Elu was born and raised in the Bearland Woods and is the daughter of Mato Sorrel, chief of a tribe of forest beastmen. She is also the younger sister of Alo Sorrel.

At some point in her life, a group of corporate settlers arrived to the area that her people inhabit in the hopes of claiming the land and exploiting its natural resources.

Sometime following her enrollment at Diamond Crown Academy, she began studying about laws, how to legally keep her homeland safe and policies regarding property in case they try anything drastic and a lawyer has to get involved. As much as she dislikes technology she does know that they have to acknowledge modern tech to help her community progress and live more comfortably.

Personality

Elu is a mostly quiet and stern individual. She is mostly seen with a serious or unpleased look on her face and rarely ever shows a smile.

Despite her calm and composed persona, she can be vicious and downright scary when provoked, but she keeps it bottled up as she thinks that getting angry will lead to unnecessary violence. She has the tendency to be competitive and will accept a challenge that she may or may not regret accepting.

Like fellow dorm leader Jinlong, she has trouble adjusting to the school life due to the culture shock. So, she often keeps to herself while occasionally asking the professors for advice.

Elu ultimately wants what's best for both her people and village and is determined to protect it from the greedy scoundrels who want her home for it's resources.

Appearance

Elu is a girl in her mid-teens. She has tan skin, amber eyes and short black hair with two braided strands held by gold bands. Her ears are visible on the top of her head.

2020 School Uniform

In her original uniform, Elu wore a tan short sleeve dress with brown fringes with the center on the dress being brown and having various patterns. The dress has triangular pattern details that are red, light blue and teal and are divided by gold trim, the dress also has a dark brown hood with the same brown fringes as before. Elu also sports a pair of dark brown leggings with her right leg having a brown cuff with gold trim, teal fabric trimming and red, light blue, white, dark red and brown beaded cuff. For footwear, Elu wears a pair of brown boots with gold trimming and soles and the upper portion is tan in color with black X laces.

Elu accessorizes with many items. This includes a teal headband with red and light blue triangle patterns with gold trim attached to a pair of goldish gears, each of which are in turn attached to a blue, red, and white feather. Other accessories include a dusty gold brooch with an orange gem in the center with blue, red and white feathers, a black glove with tan trim  on her right hand, a tan gauntlet with brown fabric trim, beaded bracelet and orange circular gem on her left arm, a brown corset with orange gem buttons, a tan belt with an orange diamond gem and the mechanical bear mask that she wears around her waist.

2021 School Uniform

Elu now has braid strands held by two red and teal bands each, in addition to orange hair pins with a pair of teal, white and red feathers.

Now with a more simplistic design, Elu wears a dark brown turtleneck top with brown trim underneath a tan top with teal accents that have triangular patterns, brownish trim and dark brown fringes. The top also has deep brown fringe details with orange gem buttons and a dark brown hood. This new ensemble also includes a pair of tan shorts with teal accents and brownish trim alongside dark brown thread details. The dark brown leggings remain the same. The footwear consists of a pair of short brown heeled boots with light brown fringes, buckles and soles.

The accessories include a goldish triangular brooch with an orange gem and teal, white and red feathers as well as a dark brown belt with copper trim.

School Statistics

Elu is a 17 year old 2nd year student. She is classified as Student #12 and is in Class 2-A. She is a member of the Griffin Scout Club and her best subject is Griffin Disc.

[phoebe-of-ivalice]

what is your primary feeling in longing?

Frustration

In longing, you feel frustration. You feel that you've almost reached your desire one too many times and you don't understand why you keep getting denied. You feel the universe is taunting you, playing just beyond your reach and leaving you on the brink of breaking every time it dances away. When you let yourself feel your yearning, you bury your face in your hands and turn to look at the sky, not expecting an answer, but pleading for relief. There's a burn in your heart that you just can't explain in words but it's deep, you can feel it in your throat and just under your chest. You take a deep breath and exhale heavily. It settles you enough to continue on as you were. You see others living your desire and you don't feel jealous per se, but the burn raises in intensity and you just wish... something. You want a change from your current situation, at this point, you don't really care what it is, just... something. Have courage my dear, you can brave the fires of this world if you so wish.

Very accurate, Phoebe deals with frustration and anger poorly. She will bottle things up, and only lets things out once the pressure is too much for her to handle.

Diamond Crown Academy: Bejeweled Collection Pt.1

The Lineart of these characters belong to @phoenix-manga and are from the DCA Discord Server (which you can go to from @diamondcrownacademy post). I just colored it like @au-ni-ro did.

Fun fact, both of us colored these line arts on the same year and month, I just took a long time to finish only five of these because I wanted to recolor some of them and didn't have time because of school! (I actually have to recolor Allison now and have to still consider Sophie's colors, and I'm almost there with Vidya's).

Five are down, just six more to go!

Elu: Is this really necessary? I can just wear my PE uniform to practice!

Ella: absolutely not! A dress is a must!

Elu: well if you say so then I'll just have to wear this *brings out a plain casual dress*

Ella: *le gasp* NO YOU AREN'T WEARING THAT TO DANCE CLASS!

Elu: What you have a problem with cottagecore?

Ella: No, I think it's charming but this is the wrong place to wear that!

Elu: I don't have any formal dresses *realizes what she just said and covers her mouth in horror* Oh no... forget what I said!

Ella: If by "I don't have a dress" means you are in desperate need of a new one...

Elu: please stop!

Ella: Which means you require my assistance!

Elu: Why did I come to this school in the first place-

Ella: To the dressing room! *drags Elu to Glastanzerin*

Elu: AHHHHHHH!

--Later--

Ella: There! You look fabulous!

Elu: *uncomfortable in a white dress covered in lace and pearls* 😔

Elu: I should've just went to a normal law school....
