Aravis - Vice for short - to any onlooker is the “mellow” twin - but appearances do fool. He does his best to keep a sweet, naive and shy façade, but deep down he’s just as devious as his twin sister, if not more. He carefully cultivates his exterior to keep up that image - with such fair skin and hair, how could anyone not fall for his pure, innocent act? An image he cultivated specifically back when he lived in his forest with his twin sister - he would lure any passerby to them, have them falling for his deceptively angelic appearance, until his beastly sister would brutally cut them down. Tales spoke of a deceptively bewitching demon with an angel’s face.

But he’s not all edges and blades - he is, to the core, a nurturing, motherly creature, who in his past incarnation would breathe life into flowerbuds and shelter orphaned critters - it’s no wonder he ended up as the princess’ nanny, basically raising her himself, and even as the Princess eventually grew into a strong, wise Queen, he remained by her side.
