Aria Whitecourt and Yumi

Backstory of current timeline, (T3)

Content warning: mentions someone almost getting hit by a car.

Aria was born in the Queendom of Roses, and her childhood was spent in clocktown. She lived alone with just her mother, and they had relatives living nearby. She lived a block away from Deuce.

Ms. Whitecourt and Ms. Spade used to be coworkers for a bit before Aria's mom got another job nearby, but they still met up and had their kids play together as friends. So, Aria and Deuce were childhood friends. Aria is 2 years older than Deuce.

Sometime between ages 6-10 for Aria. With both Yumi and Deuce 2 years younger than her, at the White Rabbit festival. Yumi was running after a ball she dropped and almost got run over by a car. Aria managed to grab Yumi and teleported them away to safety. However, the place they found themselves in was another world, one without magic.

Yumi just met Aria and was playing catch with Aria and Deuce right before the two of them both ended up in the magic less world unable to teleport back. Yumi teleported on instinct and upon arrival her magic was being suppress in this new world they found themselves at.

Yumi is the same age as Deuce or a year younger than him.

She doesn't remember anything from before ending up in the magic less world as a child. So she has no memories of Twisted wonderland and if she has any it be vague and she thinks they were just fever dreams and denies them possibly being real.

Yumi doesn't believe in Arias stories of twisted wonderland. They are clearly just young Aria's exaggerated tall tales that Aria just won't move on from. There's no way she or Aria came from another world, let alone one with magic.

So both Yumi and Aria end up as orphans in the magic less world and stayed at the same orphanage during their childhood.

Yumi got adopted first by a kind loving family and has siblings (haven't decided fully on specifics for them, like are they older or younger than Yumi? and how many are there?).

Aria gets adopted year(s) later than Yumi by a sweet elderly couple who lives in the same neighborhood as Yumi. So, Aria & Yumi reunite as neighbors and even attended the same school tho Aria is a upperclassman to Yumi at the school they attend.

They either became friends before Yumi was adopted back at the orphanage or shortly after the two reunited.

Now a year or few months prior to ending back up on twisted wonderland again. The grandparents that are raising Aria passed away and Yumi's family has adopted her. Though Aria is still mourning and isn't feeling comfortable living with Yumi's family she feels like a burden and most importantly feels out of place and like she doesn't belong.

Basically Aria is still probably in the depression state of mourning over the elderly couple who took care of her not that long ago in her eyes.

For waking up at NRC. Yumi and Aria wakeup during Ace & Deuce's entrance ceremony like in twisted wonderland game. However, Deuce won't be able to recognize Aria. She has changed enough appearance wise that it's reasonable to not recognize her at first glance, it was over 5 years ago.

Now Aria and Yumi are both related to a Twisted wonderland character like in the twisted wonderland return home au's I've read and enjoyed immensely. However, i will not be revealing who they are related to you in this post.
