Derk Dormouse is the son of the Dormouse from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

Personality and Skills
Derk is a meek guy who can’t speak for himself. To sum it all up he is indeed, mousy. He can be confident however, he is overshadowed by his best friend, Augutus. Derk doesn’t mind though since he’s quite easy-going and kind. Like the rest of the Wonderlandians, he is suffering from The Madness Poisoning which makes him go out of character in some situations like when it comes to the girls. Derk like any other dormouse falls asleep easily and is naturally lazy and sluggish though he tries to keep a proper posture. Derk is also one of those “creative geniuses” in a fairytale generation which is not known because of the imposing “Royal or Rebel” drama.Derks also speaks riddlish but he prefers poetry more. Derk also tends to eat coffee grinds because that helps him stay up. Derk often keeps his writing journal in his never ending vest pocket which can store anything. His vest is also magically enchanted to help him grow and shrink due to a Che-myth-stry accident with Maddie and Augustus. Being the writer he is, Derk easily pairs people up in the school, his most favorite pairing would be of two of his closest friends Madeline Hatter and Augustus Hare or as he likes to call it, Madgustus.
