Villainess Nyx AU
{7/??} { Part 1/2 }
Tumblr media
_________________________________________
For the past couple of days, things turned out surprisingly normal for our reincarnated Villainess
Well, as normal as a person's reincarnated life as a "Villainess" can be
Sis didn't even know she's essentially a villainess until she heard outlandish rumors while walking amongst the capitol
But, in any case, all was "normal" for Nyx
Regular tea parties, conversing with other nobles, walking around the capitol with either Briar or Cerule... It basically became a personalized cycle for her until she can find a way back to her "previous life"
Sure, the nasty rumors she and Briar have to endure due to their engagements to Vil and Roya are... Complicated, but both girls managed to pull through despite it
Funnily enough, Nyx hasn't heard anything relatively nasty about Ms. (H/N), the prime Minister's daughter who basically does everything in her power to "defy" society's stereotypes by being...
Rude to other women who are just trying to survive in a life that makes women incapable of doing much
And she somehow doesn't get any flack by acting so harshly towards other women, especially since her father keeps defending her actions
Which... Is weird. Especially for Nyx, considering she's been observing , and she DOES NOT see a father act so defensively for their daughter when they are in the wrong
"Listen, I'm not trying to be rude," Nyx assures, "But it's just... Kinda weird for the prime minister to not really care about the reputation of his own daughter? And defending her when she's in the wrong for acting so harshly towards other women who are just trying to survive? It's just, kinda fucked up?"
Since it wasn't in her personal agenda to knock some sense into the Prime Minister, she simply watched in silent hysterics as (H/N) continues to make a fool out of herself by being "Different from other noble ladies"
She essentially snorted when she first heard her say that. She legitimately thought that was a medieval way of saying "Not like other girls" or some shit
_________________________________________
Anyway back to the business of the REAL plot-
Jade's been acting... Weird. And this is Jade we're talking about
The same Jade who goes badonkers by the mere mention of an interesting sounding mushroom
So, that's weird-
BUT, I digress
As I've said, Nyx has noticed that her brother's been acting.... Weird
And not in an endearing way
Hell, even Floyd's been more cautious
So, Nyx made it her personal mission to find out what the hell was going on between her older brothers
So one night, Nyx snuck out of her bedroom and followed Floyd into Jade's office where they had this conversation:
"Should we hire a bodyguard?" Floyd suggested, his voice serious with a lack of amusement in his tone.
Nyx rose a brow curiously. Bodyguard? Why would she need a bodyguard when an imperial knight escorts her every time she goes out?
Jade sighs, "I don't really think that's necessary, Brother. Not only is she protected by our family, she is also protected by the imperial family." He stated, looking at Floyd briefly before returning his sights to the unsigned papers he was signing.
Though they aren't aware of her decently hidden presence, Nyx nodded in agreement. See Floyd? She doesn't need a bodyguard, she can handle her-
"The harsh rumors surrounding her say otherwise."
Though they are not aware of it, Nyx and Jade widened their eyes in perfect synchronization.
"Rumors?", Jade questions, not remembering his sister mentioning any rumors. Floyd nods, stating that she's being talked down on by other noble families because they don't believe the legitimacy of her engagement to the crowned prince. Not to forget the fact that it's very likely that there is now a target on her back BECAUSE of her engagement to Vil.
Jade pauses, beginning to think for a couple minutes as he thought about Floyd's suggestion. As for Nyx? She actually feels somewhat threatened by the fact that someone could very well be in the mansion, patiently waiting for the proper moment to strike and plunge a knife down her throat...
Finally, after some thinking, Jade sighed and gave a quick look to Floyd, who merely tilted his head in confusion like some lost puppy.
With a huff and a sigh, Jade confirmed that he agrees with Floyd's suggestion and that he'll contact "someone" he knows. Whoever that person was, Nyx hoped she can at least converse with them without the fear of death-
As they continue their conversations for other topics, Nyx decided to quietly venture back to her room, and peacefully contemplate on who that "someone" was. Until she eventually fell into a deep sleep
_________________________________________
The next day, Nyx still had the thought of who her new bodyguard will be, engraved into her mind
Did she know them? How does Jade know them? How does Floyd know them? Are they trustworthy? Has she met them before? Are they genuinely worthy of Jade's lack of doubt about how they could protect her-
Ah, wait she's still in the middle of breakfast with her brothers
I mean, it's going relatively normal, so that's technically good on Nyx part
Sure it feels weird not having her parents around due to their comically long-term travels, but at least her brothers are around to keep her company in their absence
Oh, wait. That's not the plot of the au-
Welp- Anyway
After having finished his food, Jade stood up, looking at his two younger siblings as they looked at him in curiosity.
"For a quick announcement, Nyx's new bodyguard is coming sooner than the expected date. Nyx, I hope you do not mind," Jade shared, before locking eyes with Nyx as a way to ask for her confirmation. In response, Nyx gave him a nod and words of assurance saying that it's fine.
Enter the butler, who quickly informs Jade that they have arrived. Leaving Jade and Floyd, rather amused. But that also left Nyx much more confused than she already was.
All three siblings stood up from their chairs and walked together to the entrance of their estate, prepared to greet "them" a warm welcome
But at the same time, Nyx was nervous
However, she knew she had to hold up her composure as to not stir confusion among Jade and Floyd. So naturally, she kept it as well hidden as she could
... Until they reach the gateway of their estate and all the anxiety starts rushing back into her system
With her head hanging low to hide any form of nervousness in her expression, Nyx didn't bother to look up to get a good look at her "bodyguard".
Jade chuckles,"It's good to see you, old friend." He says, amusement filling his voice. Nyx admits that it's refreshing to hear the tone of voice she knows from Jade. Especially since she's heard nothing but professionalism from him. I mean, sure he has his moments, but it's still rare for Nyx to see(or in this case, hear) him like this. Since in this world, he basically never acts like this.
Floyd snickers, "So, where were you? We barely saw you for months!" He began to laugh alongside "Them", who's form of laughter was much quieter in comparison to Nyx's brother.
"They" chuckled."I've simply been traveling rather recently. I'm rather honored to be the protector of Lady sirène~!" They exclaimed happily.
Wait.
That voice...
That accent...
AND THE USE OF FRENCH NICKNAMES
Nyx's eyes widen, raising her head to finally meet eyes with "Them", who tilts their head in curiosity.
".... Rook?!"

_________________________________________
Nyx blushed at the memory. At the time she knew he was going to announce it, but she still felt stunned by his words and how he said it so formally... Yet sounded so casual with it.
"Um, Lady Nyx, Are you all right? You spaced out for a moment."
Flinching ever so slightly, Nyx exited her thoughts as she looked at Lady Briar Auroria, the host of the tea party she's currently attending.
'Ah right... The tea party.' She thought, giving a polite smile and assuring Briar that she just spaced out for a bit because of... The lovely trees. Yeah, that.
Briar hummed."I see..." She mumbled, taking another bite from her scone after quietly glancing at Nyx.
A guest chuckled."I must say, Lady Nyx. You are quite lucky! The prince is certainly quite the dreamboat~" They squealed, earning a chuckle from Nyx.
"Really, it's nothing. To be honest I didn't expect it myself..." Nyx stated, an awkward chuckle escaping her soft lips.
The door of the crystal greenhouse slammed open, revealing a girl with red and white hair styled into a long braid with a cerulean blue dress.
"I'M SO SORRY FOR BEING LATE!" They exclaimed, panting from exhaustion as it seemed like they had come at the last minute at the realization that they were late.
Briar giggled, her hair shining against the light from the roof."No need to apologize, Cerule." She said, flapping her hands with an awkward smile on her face.
Cerule sighed of relief."Thank the seven... I would've thought you'd be upset." She laughed awkwardly, taking a seat next to Nyx.
Nyx hummed, locking eyes with her best friend from Diamond Crown Academy... Though it's unlikely there is one in this world...
Noticing her gaze, Cerule smiled."Hey, Nyxie! I heard you got engaged to Prince Vil! I'd like to say my congratulations!" She exclaimed, excitement seemingly filling her senses.
Nyx chuckled, thanking Cerule as she relaxed a bit, until she heard,
"Pfft, As if. I still can't believe the daughter of a mere viscount gets engaged to the crowned prince..."
"I know. I still can't believe lady Briar invited her. But then again, desperate people need to stick together, no?"
Nyx knew Briar heard the whispers of two of the maids, as the two had tensed up. They successfully managed to convince everyone that they indeed were okay and that they just got lost in thought.
A quiet scoff left Nyx's lips.
'Can't believe mere servants have the nerve to say that we're desperate for two princes, and believe that we convinced their families to let them marry us...' Nyx sighed, her cup of tea now empty as she took her next sip and tried to enjoy the rest of the tea party.

Diana Kazane
Tumblr media
" You want me to give you advice on swordsmanship? Well for one, you're positioning the blade wrong. You may need to pay more attention... "
Full Name: Diana Jane Kazane
Japanese Name: ダイアナ ジェーン カザネ
Romaji: Daiana Jēn Kazane
Twisted From: Captain James Hook
V/A: Sayaka Ohara (小原さやか)
Age: 27 to 28
Birthday: March 9
Horoscope: Pisces ♓
Species: Human
Height: 176 cm
Hair Color: Ruby Red
Eye Color: Dark Blue
_________________________________________
Homeland: Island of Nevermore
Occupation: Swordfighting Professor
Sexuality: Bisexual
Dominant Hand: Right
{ Family: Deceased/Orphaned }
Likes: Swordsmanship, Archery, Horseback Riding, Dogs, Parrots, Dancing, Makeup
Dislikes: Ambrose, Her past, rain, thunder, drowning, not holding the swords correctly
Hobbies: Swordsmanship, Horseback Riding, Archery, Dancing, Doing her makeup
Talent(s): Dancing while fighting, doing makeup, horseback riding, reflexes, magic duels, speed, agility, silent movement
Flaw(s): Aggressive, Sarcastic, Easily Bored, Awkward, Violent
_________________________________________
Personality:
Though at first she was incredibly distant, Diana grew an immense popularity shortly after she was assigned to be the new swordsmanship professor of royal sword academy.
She won't exactly comment on why she, a former pirate queen, became a professor. And she'll quickly change the subject if the person asking was leaning a bit too far off of her comfort zone.
At first, Diana wasn't necessarily the best teacher. Given how little of an experienced professor she was, she mostly just let the students do their own thing for the first few weeks of her teaching career.
But, Ambrose ended up having to lecture her that she actually needs to discipline her students so that they respect her. As most of her students never really showed genuine respect for Diana when she first began teaching.
And so, she begrudgingly complied to Ambrose's wishes and somehow managed to climb the ranks and basically become one of the best swordsmanship professors RSA had ever had.
But unfortunately, a person is never a person without a few flaws. And Diana happens to be one of them.
Lovable as she may be, Diana still has the tendency to be rather aggressive with her teaching methods. It's not exactly a bad thing, the students actually need a teacher who's strict with them, but at times she's…. A bit too aggressive.
Not to mention her inevitable sarcasm and tendency to get bored hysterically easily. She'd never act on these characteristics in front of her students, but she certainly isn't afraid to use her own flaws to outwardly slander Ambrose whenever she's given the chance.
Because of the notorious reputation for pirates in twisted wonderland, Diana doesn't really react all that well when someone talks or asks about her personal life or what her life was like as an essential pirate queen. It mostly triggers her PTSD.
And in general, she doesn't really like her job. She was given a choice when she first met Ambrose. She'll either work for RSA, or die in a prison cell for crimes she allegedly did.
And sometimes… Diana wishes she'd die in a prison cell.
But other times, she's glad. Because now, she doesn't need to deal with a personal tutor using her…
_________________________________________
Unique Magic: { Feathered friends } (羽毛の友達)
Song: Two birds(Regina Spektor)
Are parrots considered stereotypical pirate pets? Yes. But Diana considers them to be absolutely adorable and doesn't give a shit if Divus calls them annoying.
She could gush about them for hours, and then decide that she's bored over talking about her favorite animals and switches to a completely different topic-
But to elaborate: Diana can summon parrot familiars that can act as her eyes and ears in a specific area without her in that area.
Most of the time it's to watch over her more troublesome students. She knows they mean well, but she can't help but need to watch over them to prevent them from getting expelled.
Thankfully, her students are well aware of this and make sure to try and be on their best behavior. Because they know that Diana is watching from somewhere.
But alas, Diana can only summon 5 parrots at a time. And they can't be in the same area at once since all she'll hear is parrot gossip and she doesn't wanna get too invested.
Trivia
_________________________________________
Name meaning
Diana: With Greek, Latin, and Indo-European origins, the name Diana means “divine.” Diana was a Roman goddess of many arenas, including hunting, forests, the moon, and fertility.
Jane: The name Jane is of English origin and means “God is gracious.” Some people believe that Jane was derived from the old French name Jehanne, which in turn, is thought to be derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan which means “Yahweh is merciful.”
Kazane(風音): The name Kazane is primarily a female name of Japanese origin that means Sound Of Wind
The Island of Nevermore has been crossed off the map for unknown reasons
Diana likes ballet and incorporates it into her swordsmanship
Despite her otherwise dainty and delicate appearance, Diana is obviously one of the most ruthless swordsmen in RSA
Has a friendship with Divus Crewel, but is annoyed by how people assume they're dating(Though admits to have a smidge of a puppy crush on him)
Diana's parrots often dote on her, especially when she's having a hard day
Originally applied for Night Raven College's swordsmanship professor, but Crowley was too scared of her history that he declined
Thus, she ended up in RSA
Diana doesn't really understand the point of RSA and NRC's rivalry, often poking fun at it
Has sung her praises for Roya's swordsman skills so many times that he's been dubbed 'Diana's favorite' , however she doesn't actually play favorites with any of her students because that caused trouble for her in her past
Basically became a mother hen with her students as soon as she first taught them
Applauses DCA for allowing the girls to swordfight as they please
Is a favorite among RSA's students because of her motherly nature and her drive to help her students with anything they need help with
DOES NOT have a good relationship with Ambrose the 63rd, they basically hate each other
Has fallen asleep several times after using her unique magic for too long, which leads her to fall asleep on really odd surfaces without feeling pain (Briar basically found someone just like her)
Appreciates that her students listened to her after she specified that she didn't want her personal life to be mentioned
HATES when someone is positioning their sword wrong, she usually tries to keep her cool about it but inevitably fails
Had no idea that Divus was that influencial in the fashion industry until someone pointed it out
Doesn't really care if she's looked down upon because she's 'too girly' , cause she finds comfort in makeup and making herself look pretty
Her students see her as both a mother figure, and their older sister figure
Has somewhat lost interest in archery, but still finds comfort in it as well as horseback riding

{Villainess Nyx AU}
{5/??}
_________________________________________
𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝑵𝒚𝒙 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒐 soon in a matter of weeks.
Thankfully, She had everything under control... Mostly.
For one, she didn't need to worry about the anxieties of debuting, since the body she found herself in already had debuted a few years prior to her current situation.
Secondly, Victoria had helped her with her gown for the debutante ball a few days after meeting her in this world. Which was a big help considering Victoria still had a keen eye for fashion, even in another world so similar but different to her own.
Now... The things she worried about.
First, If she died in what she's supposed to consider 'Her first life' . She just suddenly woke up from a different environment into another environment that she's also unfamiliar with.
Second, How Victoria knew. Ever since Nyx heard what Victoria had said all those weeks prior, It's been engraved into her mind.
Lastly, What happened before she even woke up in this world. As lackluster as it may sound compared to the previous two worries she has, but it's still something she was rather curious about.
But, Moving on.
With one maid brushing her luscious hair and peacefully curling it, and seven other maids essentially panicking on which shoes fit the dress Nyx chose. It was rather amusing on Nyx's part.
"Say, Lucinda..." Nyx muttered, clutching the skirt of her gown as the maid in question brushed her hair without a care for the abundance of the other maids panicking their lives off.
"Yes, My lady?" Lucinda answered, sending Nyx a look of confusion her way after finishing up her hair curls and moving on to the accessories that'll compliment the style.
"I heard the prime minister has a daughter that's 19. And she's debuting this year."
"Yes, that's correct. Why do you ask my lady?"
"Well.... I thought you debut the time you reach the age of a teenager. Why is she suddenly debuting now when she's near adulthood?"
Lucinda chuckled, lightly rolling her eyes as she remembered the reason.
"The prime minister claims that his daughter wanted to wait for the proper time to debut at the right age. He simply claims to do what's best for his 'Shy little girl' , or so he says." Lucinda smirks, shaking her head at such an immature reasoning.
Nyx smiled."I see. I hope to meet the Minister's daughter during the ball at some point." She muttered, although her smile was a contrast to her tone of voice.
"Finally! These shoes are perfect for our lady's gown!" A maid exclaimed, both relieved and excited as she called for Nyx and Lucinda.
Amused that all her maids were willing to panic just so they could find the perfect pair of shoes that matched her dress, Nyx happily obliged and put on the selected shoes.
Although, She didn't expect that some of the maids would cry just by looking at her, and call her something along the lines of a goddess.
Either way, She was both touched/flattered and amused by such reactions.
"Thank you, All of you ladies for assisting me. I probably would've taken an eternity to put these on without your assistance." Nyx said, a calm smile on her face as she gave her maids a light bow of respect.
A maid sniffled, a grin on her face as she looked at Nyx."I-It's an honor, my lady! You've always been so kind to us..." She sniffled again, blowing into a handkerchief another maid gave her.
Nyx grinned back.
"It's the least I could do."
_________________________________________
"𝐍𝐞, 𝐍𝐲𝐱𝐢𝐞~ 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰."
Floyd teased, leaning his head against the walls of the carriage as they were drawing near the venue in which the ball will take place.
Nyx smirked, rolling her eyes with her arms crossed."If I'm to look good among the newly debuted young ladies, I may as well do what I can." She and Floyd laughed, erupting a smile to form on Jade's face.
The three siblings continued their banter for some time, laughing at each other's jokes, comforting one another when one of them feels uneasy, and overall just being supportive of one another despite the aggressive jokes on how much they 'hate' each other.
"Lord Jade, Sir Floyd, Lady Nyx. We have arrived at the venue."
"Ah, I see. Thank you for informing us. We'll be down in a minute." Jade responded, adjusting his tie for what Nyx counted the seventeenth time the entire ride.
Exiting the carriage and entering the venue, Nyx thought nothing of it since they did arrive surprisingly early. Especially since there was such a hassle on her SHOES moments before.
It was all rather normal, the guests arrived before the debutantes and they were too busy chatting about who knows what.
Hell, even Victoria entered with the mysterious husband she's wedded to. A man by the name of 'Regulus Zephyr' , Who was also unfamiliar to Nyx.
'Regulus Zephyr... Never heard of him. Not even in RSA. But, why does he look so... Familiar?' Nyx thought, placing a finger over her chin while tilting her head as she eyed Regulus with curiosity.
And then she noticed the sudden flash of green from his red eyes. It wasn't noticeable to most, but Nyx managed to catch it and had a pretty decent idea on who this 'Regulus' was.
Nyx snickered."So she ends up marrying her enemy... Ironic, but cute..." She chuckled, spurring confusion among the guests near her.
As far as Nyx could remember, there wasn't much that felt interesting. Well, not as interesting as to find out Briar was engaged to Roya Callistis (A person Nyx thankfully is acquainted with thanks to Rielle), and Victoria marrying Malleus, who used the pseudonym of Regulus Zephyr to mask his true identity.
Plus, none of the debutantes felt interesting enough to begin with.
Well... Until the one Nyx was so curious about showed up.
(H/N) (L/N), Daughter of the Pyroxene Empire's prime minister. She's 19, and chose to not attend the debutante at 16 due to her shyness, or so the Minister claims.
Hearing such information spurred curious into Nyx, wondering what her actual reason may be for not attending the debutante ball at that time.
Though, Nyx didn't expect her to look so... Underwhelming? Not in an offensive sense, of course. It's just, (H/N) looked out of place amongst the other debutante attendees just by how... Overly simplistic her gown was. It looked like she was poorly dressed bride coming to her wedding.
But without further ado, Nyx approached (H/N) with a composed smile.
After calling out her last name, (H/N) stared blankly at Nyx, almost appearing annoyed.
