Blake Von Dark

"I had no desire to be the next Von Rothbart. I didn't want it. Brangwen is the better "evil" one anyway."

- Blake Von Dark

Blake Von Dark is a 2015-introduced and all-around character. He is the adoptive son of Von Rothbart from fairy tale Swan Lake but was raised by the royal servant Vasilisa Novaya. Technically as the oldest of the two, Blake would be inheriting the role of Von Rothbart, but due to unknown reasons, he refuses, thus the legacy going to Brangwen.

To make sure that people wouldn't find out, Blake and Brangwen play it that Brangwen was the older one (which isn't off with how Brangwen acts compared to Blake). Therefore, in the destiny conflict, Blake aligns with the Rebels.

Personality
As a residential Bad Boy of Ever After High, Blake has a reputation to uphold. He almost always has a frown or scowl on his face and his six-foot height doesn't help the case either nor does the dark eyeshadow he wears. He is also known for being quite rebellious, usually skipping classes he doesn't like, cursing up a storm and other things. But, despite his rebellious attitude, he always obeys his sister, no question about it, which does make people question him. Underneath the intimating appearance, Blake has a soft side for animals, especially baby ones and kittens, which are his weak spot. If someone was put a kitten in front of him, his mean look vanishes instantly, With his pet kitten Mystic, he tends to baby her a lot and doesn't care about it. However, he is careful when he shows that personality.

The only person he ever shows emotion to is his twin sister Brangwen. Though he doesn't show much emotion to her either, she is still able to understand him. They have a very closer brother-sister bond and are highly protective over one another. Their bond is so great, that Brangwen is willing to take Blake's place as Von Rothbart's successor as Blake has no desire for it.

Because of his physical appearance, and how he is always scowling and/or glaring, Blake seems like he would be one to manipulate people to do what he wants. That's not the case. Blake hates using his magic to make people do what he wants. He finds it incredibly boring and a waste of magic when he can easily do what needs to be done himself.

Because on how he was raised, Blake does not and cannot handle cheery people. He has no idea how to react. When Destiny comes near him, he will walk away to avoid confrontation. He has explained it to his roommate Snow Claus more than once. He also cannot and does not understand people pranking others. He doesn't get it and finds it lame. Though if he is pranked, he doesn't react well and often casts a blast of energy at the person (Kitty Cheshire got hit once).

Blake is somewhat vain, but not terribly vain like some students. He doesn't care much for his clothing wise, the vain part goes to this hair. He takes a long time just to get it how he wants. Brangwen often complains about him taking forever just to do his hair. He doesn't care, he just shrugs it off and just finishes his hair before doing something else. He has been working on trying to find a spell that can help with his wild hair, but so far nothing has worked.

Despite being vain about his hair, Blake has a horrible sense of fashion. This began when they were very little and still believing Vasilisa was their mother. Brangwen had to pick everything out for Blake - not that she minded - and to make sure he did go outside looking like a crazy head.

Blake is highly skilled in using his magic but is afraid and unsure how people will react if they learn he cannot use Dark Magic, only light. Because of that fear, Blake uses an illusion spell to make everything think he can use dark magic.

When it involves his Story Friends/Acquaintances, Blake though doesn't really interact with them a lot, does show protectiveness, like his family.

Appearance
Blake is a tall handsome and sometimes intimidating, young man, standing six foot even. He has long dark purple hair that he keeps tied in a low and loose ponytail and dark blue eyes with a slight, dark eyeshadow of darker blue. He has a pale skin tone and is usually seen in the colors dark purple and gold, and black. He is almost always seen with Mystic hanging on his shoulder thinking she is a ferret.

His dark purple hair is layered in a weird yet fashionable way with some of his bangs hanging over his eyes, the most known bangs lay in between his two eyes. He has a piercing in his left ear and often changes it depending on his mood. His main earring is of an owl's feather, like the feather that Brandie wears in her hair, just blueish-gray. He also wears a purple colored pendant around his neck that he's had since he was little. He thought his [adoptive] mother gave it to him but it was later revealed that he's always had it.

Magic
Blake loves learning new magic spells. He often reads many spell books learning new spells and once he's able to use the spell himself, will show Brandie. He enjoys using magic as a way to spend time with his lovely twin. Blake is usually seen doing "experiments" with new magic spells in the Dark Forests away from the others. Brangwen is the only one to actually know of the exact location on where Blake is working.

What most people don't know is that Blake could once use dark magic, but something in the past caused his dark magic to disappear and make his light magic appear. He doesn't like talking about it and doesn't mention it.

Sports
Blake is very athletic and enjoys playing sports. He is a member of the Bookball team. Despite his dark appearance, Blake loves the thrill and adrenaline from sports. He claims it helps to relax him.

Animals
Blake's guilty pleasure is helping animals of all kinds, very much like his sister. He frequents the local animal shelter and helps with all he can. Of course, when he first started the workers were a bit scared since he was the son of Von Rothbart and all. But over time they got over it and just saw a guy with a soft side for animals. Blake would later end up adopting a little kitty that he names Mystic.

Dancing
Another guilty pleasure of Blake's is that he enjoys dancing. He doesn't do it often as he has a bad boy reputation to uphold. He enjoys going to dance clubs to let loose occasionally.

Abilities
It's unknown how, but Blake was born with the power to control magic. Its unsure how it is, but he doesn't bother with trying to learn.
 * Magic: Blake has the power to use magic allowing him to use magical forces/powers to varying degrees. Between him and Brangwen in terms of magic, they are about even in terms of powers, but Blake is more powerful in light magic where Brangwen is more powerful with dark magic. Due to learning the truth of his parentage caused Blake's dark magic to vanish and his light magic to appear but also caused his dark magic to vanish completely.
 * Light magic: Blake excels in the usage of light magic, having studied it a lot when he was a child before the changes in his life. After learning the truth from his adoptive parents, Blake's light magic overpowered his dark magic abilities, making them vanish forever.
 * Dark magic (formerly): When he was younger, Blake was able to use dark magic. But, after learning the truth of his parentage, he gained the power of light magic, but at the cost of losing his dark magic, forever. While he no longer has dark magic, he is fine with it.
 * Spellcasting: Because of his skill level, Blake can cast many different spells at once.
 * Transformation spell: Blake is highly skilled in using a single transformation spell which he uses when he wants to go out to clubs and let loose. With this spell, he can alter his appearance so no one recognizes him. Though the spell will randomly change his appearance, he uses many different names. The most common name he uses is "Vitali", unknown to the true meaning behind the name.
 * Illusion spell: Blake is always using an illusion spell to make people think he is using dark magic when he actually using light magic, as he cannot use dark magic anymore.
 * Telekinesis: Blake can manipulate objects/matter with his mind. Any object or person he does control gets a dark blue aura around it.
 * Telepathy: Blake has the power to mentally receive and/or transmit information. He normally uses this power to mentally talk to his sister. He and Brangwen do this most of the time to avoid really talking to anyone. They don't even need Mirror Phones to talk to one another.

Skillset

 * Multilingual: Blake is multilingual as some spell books are a different language so he is able to read them. Blake speaks mostly Russian at times.
 * Potion making: Blake is quite skilled at potion making, despite not liking to.
 * Athleticism: Blake is very athletic, being part of the Bookball Team, and pretty much loves all sports.

How does Blake Fit into it?
Not much of Blake or Brangwen's full past is known. He and his sister were adopted by Von Rothbart prior to his death but raised by one of his royal servants, Vasilisa Novaya. During a trip home following their Freedom Year, the twins learned something which put a change on things and also caused something to change within Blake.

Viewpoint on Destiny
As the "younger" twin, Blake does not get the destiny of the next Von Rothbart, Brangwen does. However, due to the learning something, his dark magic vanished completely and he could only use Light Magic. Nowadays, Blake worries a lot about what would happen if someone found out he couldn't use dark magic. But he is also working on trying to find his and Brangwen's birth mother and hopefully before Brangwen completes her destiny.
