Destiny Claus

Destiny Claus is a 2015-introduced, 2024-revamped and all-around character. She is the daughter of Santa Claus, and destined to take his role in Christmas Folklore. Destiny currently attends Ever After High in her Yearbook Year, and sides with the Royals on the destiny conflict. She cannot see herself as anything other than the next Santa Claus, and carries her family's tradition with love and passion.

Character[]

Personality[]

Kind and warm-hearted, Destiny genuinely embodies the traits she greatly values when adding people to the Naughty or Nice List, and is a caring young lady who always looks out for everyone. Destiny is very considerate and avoids, at all costs, to cause any inconveniences that could lead to others being sad or hurt. She tries her best to always bring joy and love to those who surround her; sometimes worrying about it so much to a point she becomes a bit anxious.

A people pleaser at heart, Destiny feels a very strong urge to please others - even at her own expense. Destiny tends to get so caught up in pleasing those surrounding her that she becomes very prone to put aside her own needs in order to meet others’ ones. This often leads Dest to require constant validation and approval from others, frequently putting other people's opinions on her on a pedestal and taking them as law. Her persistent urge to be seen as a nice, helpful and approachable gal can again and again cause Destiny to live under the pression of keeping up appearances and refusing to say "no” even when she really needs to. Occasionally (and especially on the Holidays), Dest will get overloaded with work of some students who are willing to act in bad faith and ask her to do their homework and other assignments, simply because they know that she can't say no.

A little too obsessed with organization, some of Dest's favourite pastimes is organizing the Naughty or Nice List in alphabetical order, creating binders to help her in this activity (and others, in general), being the head organizer of the parties and balls that happen in Ever After High and everything in between. In fact, her obsession with organization makes Destiny prone to be a “crazy house cleaning” roommate, with her reorganizing all the furniture at least once per week to clean everything up - even when it's not necessary. Destiny is a perfectionist who will always strive for nearly impossible standards of perfection, sometimes (unintentionally) expecting too much of herself and of her friends.

Destiny has a very strong sense of morality and likes to see the world in black and white, avoiding to see things on a gray spectrum. Although she harbors a great sense of justice and expects it to be done and defended, Destiny can't help but be extremely merciful and forgiving. She won't hesitate to forgive, but oftentimes will not forget - or take a long time to do so. This sense of morality of hers is what guides her the most when making the Naughty or Nice List, and she really tries to balance it well with being indulgent.

Overall, Dest is really insecure about herself and finds it extra hard to believe that she is actually a good and nice person. She will likely let her intrusive thoughts win and will believe that they define who she is. Destiny keeps up her smily and giggly personality, but greatly battles an internal fight with her self-image - and loses more than she would like to admit she does. On some occasions, when her insecurity speaks louder, Destiny will isolate herself under the excuse that she “needs some time to work on her decorations and neverending lists”, hoping to recover some sense that she isn't as bad as she believes to be.

Finally, Destiny is very dedicated and hardworking and takes pride in inheriting this ancient top-notch trait of the Claus family. Dest likes to be efficient and pursues quality and perfection in everything she does; never hesitating to make a wooden toy from scratch if she finds the smallest of mistakes in the one she previously made. Once her insecurities are worked on and overcome, Destiny has the potential of being a pretty good leader whose diligence and relentlessness can take many to succeed. Her friends and family strongly believe that Destiny is bound to be an excellent leader and entrepreneur, just like her father, due to her marvellous creativity and originality - not only by inventing amazing new things, but also by finding original and unlikely solutions to daily problems. Destiny has everything to succeed in life, just like all the past Santas - if only she saw and acknowledged her immense potential…

Appearance[]

Destiny is a petite, smaller-than-average girl of pale skin, bright pinkish-purple eyes, rosy lips and pointy, elvish ears. She sports long, curly blonde hair with light red highlights, which she likes to keep up in Victorian-esque hairdos (it is very useful when she is building toys and needs the blonde curls out of her eyes, of course). Her clothing is inspired by a mix of Edwardian and Victorian Winter fashion, and her colours are generally red, green and golden. Destiny's motifs include Christmas-themed patterns, such as mistletoes, poinsettias, reindeers and bells.

Hobbies & Interests[]

Baking & Cooking[]

Back in the North Pole, Destiny would spend a lot of time with Mama Claus in the kitchen, cooking for everyone in the household and baking the most delicious sweets to make everyone happy. Baking is a love language for the Clauses, and it's no different for the Santa heiress. Expect to often find a basket full of gingerbread cookies and cinnamon rolls at the door of your dorm room by the morning - a sweet start for the day and a great reminder that you are loved by the Claus family.

Figure Skating[]

Destiny was part of the Official North Pole Figure Skating Team back in the North Pole, but had to leave the team behind upon moving to Ever After because she could not dedicate enough time to it. She was devastated, but always finds time to figure skate on the frozen lakes of the school during winter time.

Arts & Crafts[]

It's a Claus family thing and family activity and before a Claus can walk, they can woodcraft. It was Destiny's case, and her father's before her, and his father's before him... It is expected that all Santas are pretty good at craftwork and not only are they good at it by virtue of being a Claus, but also because they are passionate about it. At Destiny's annoying insistence, Headmaster Grimm gave her an abandoned shed on the grounds of the school so she could build a small workshop. Dest likes to spend her free time there, making presents to deliver to the whole school by the end of the year and training to take the lead of the Santa Workshop one day.

Organization[]

If one could see Destiny's Naughty or Nice List (she keeps it a secret - you will find out where was your name on Christmas Eve!), they would be equally astonished and terrified. It is a list, yes, but more likely a binder list - with subsidiary sessions and all. Destiny likes to organize everything and has a huge collection of binders she uses for organizing; whether it may be her homework, her lists, her assignments, her planner, her menu for the week... Everything. If you ever need someone to organize your party, Destiny can be your right-hand woman. Her excitment towards this very specific activity can be overwhelming and over the top, but she is efficient and the school staff can (and will) count on her to help organize official parties. Once, the cafeteria had a problem with their ticket numbers and ordering was a chaos. Destiny managed to find out the time of arrival of each individual in the cafeteria, organized everyone in order of arrival and was able to cease the chaos until the ticket machine was fixed. She subjected a formal complaint to Headmaster Grimm later on. Never happened again.

Geography[]

The Claus family is comprised of extraordinary geographers and cartographers that refuse to use technological and magical devices to guide them as they go around the world on Christmas Eve to deliver presents. They can do it by themselves, purely out of their knowledge on geography. Teachers are perpetually surprised to see how skilled Destiny is in geography classes and her ability to read and interpret maps. She is also good on meteorology (Santa must know the weather around the globe as they cross it on Christmas night to fulfill their destiny), geology (delivering presents on mountain rages can be quite tricky), demography (number of presents to be delivered must be exact) and many other topics pertaining to geographical sciences.

Knitting[]

Destiny became a knitter purely out of her wish of knitting matching ugly Christmas sweaters for her and Fay, but she actually enjoyed the activity. She uses her newly-acquired ability to knit blankets, scarves, cardigans and other articles of clothing to donate to those in need. Her ugly sweaters have gotten progressively more professional, too, and Fay is always the target of colourful, full-of-patterns matching sweaters made by the next Santa herself.

Powers & Abilities[]

The set of Christmas-related magic Destiny has includes:

  • Naughty/Nice Senses: Long story short, Destiny pretty much has a "Naughty & Nice" sense... Which means that she can physically sense when someone's up to no good. Basically, it works as a gut feeling: the "bad" sensation is for the naughty ones; the "good" sensation is for the nice ones. For now, it's not something she can feel in the "distance", to say so, but when she stands next to people. Destiny innately knows exactly where to put you in the Naughty or Nice List, but wishes to be fair, so she will give you some time to prove that her senses can be wrong. It's worth to note that they have never been wrong.
  • Ice/Snow Generation: On a very small scale, Destiny is able to generate snow and ice. She got this ability from her mother, who is a North Pole Elf and thus innately possesses this ability.

Fairy Tale[]

Christmas Folklore[]

Main article: Santa Claus

Santa Claus, also known as simply "Santa", is an important figure with legendary, historical and folkloric origins who, in many Western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children on 24 December, the night before Christmas Day. In modern folklore, Santa Claus is said to make lists of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior, and to deliver presents, including toys and candy, to all of the well-behaved children in the world, and coal to all the misbehaving children, on the night of Christmas Eve. He is said to accomplish this feat with the aid of his elves, who make the toys in his workshop at the North Pole, and his flying reindeer, who pull his sleigh. He is commonly portrayed as living at the North Pole, and laughing in a way that sounds like "ho ho ho".

How Destiny Fits Into It[]

Little Nichole Claus was the very first female born to the titular Santa Claus in eighteen generations - which means that there hasn't been a female Santa Claus for over 500 years. Her parents were thrilled to welcome a little girl who would inherit the Santa legacy one day, and the Claus family rejoiced the fact, celebrating the girl's birth for three weeks straight! Some more traditionalist Clauses discussed that perhaps it would be better for Nichole's younger twin brother, Snowden, to take on the Santa title, but ultimately decided that the child was destined to become the next Santa - thus giving her the nickname Destiny. Snow happily and proudly accepted his role as his sister's helper, as it is customary for the younger Claus kids to support and help their titular Santa sibling with fulfilling their destiny as Santa Claus and maintaining the ancient, admirable Claus tradition, known by everyone in Ever After.

Destiny honours tradition and, just like all of the previous Santas, would never turn her back to her destiny - she is truly passionate about it, and her biggest heart's desire is to eventually take on her father's role and bring the happiness she is destined to bring when December comes. However, she can find herself unfit for such a wonderful role and job, and wonders if maybe, just maybe, Snow wouldn't be better at it than her, and perhaps he should be the next Santa because Destiny herself might prove to be a disaster! But her little brother, loving parents and supportive friends won't let the Santa heiress give up on her dream future purely because of her insecurities and intrusive thoughts. Truthfully, no one could be more fit to the role than the bubbly, kind and organization-driven girl.

Relationships[]

Family[]

Destiny comes from a long lineage of Clauses. The members of her family have always been the legal, democratic political leaders of the North Pole ever since it was officially founded, and the Santa Claus legacy has been passing down from father to eldest child since always. Destiny was the first female first-born child in eighteen generations to be the rightful heir to her father's legacy and title.

Destiny is proud to be a Claus and wholeheartedly loves and adores her unique and peculiar family. The Claus family members engage in numerous family rituals, traditions and behaviours, and are all uclosely-knit, similar and united. To a non-member, the Claus family meetings might seem chaotic, turbulent and rather... Odd. It is like having dozens of Destinys roaming in a big room, talking non-stop about Christmas, giggling and laughing like jingling bells and criticising modern location devices, such as GPS and Google Maps (how could these amateurs use these when you have real maps and geographical knowledge?). The Claus family has what they call the Council of the Claus Cousins (or Council of the Cousins or CCC, for abbreviation purposes), which consists of the Claus cousins of each generation, with the titular Santa and their heirs being the heads of the Council (Dest is the head of a Council consisting of fourteen cousins and they are all amazing). Cousin Councils discuss important matters, such as Christmas-related things - which are always important - the best ways of caring for elderly family members; where they shall go in their next vacation etc.

Other than that, the Claus family is huge, and you can find a Claus in every single corner of the North Pole (rumour has it that they're taking over Sweden and the Netherlands too). Despite the size of the family, all members are very close, greatly supporting each other and being there for each other in good and bad times. They have the habit of greeting each other by saying "Hallo! Ik houd van je!", which translates to "hello! I love you!", and they are never lying when they tell that they love each other. Family love is a serious business to the Clauses!

Parents[]

Destiny is the daughter of Nicholas "Nick" Claus - the titular Santa Claus - and his wife, Annalina. Both love their daughter dearly and she loves them in return. Destiny couldn't be more thankful for the parents she has, and respects and honours them deeply. A big daddy's girl, Destiny is closest to her papa, Nick, after whom she gets her name and who will, one day, grant her the title of Santa Claus. Both have a very friendly, healthy and supportive relationship. Of course she is also very close to her mama, and loves spending time with Annalina, learning how to bake and cook from her.

Snowden "Snow" Claus[]

Destiny's baby twin brother, whom she loves to pieces and truly admires. They have that "telepathic bond", where one feels what the other is feeling (sometimes, it's a little creepy). Destiny and Snow are super close and the next Santa is, sometimes, too afraid that her baby brother might "reduced to role of being merely the helper of Santa", but Snow always affirms that he is more than happy to help her out one day, just like their aunts and uncles did to their papa. Once Destiny began to attend Ever After High, the twins have been separated - Snow remained on the North Pole, but hopes to join his sister soon. Sometimes, the pain of missing her inseparable baby brother is a little unbearable, but they do manage it with the help of many, many letters and Destiny's newly-acquired mirror phone.

Paloma Claus[]

Destiny's sister, older than her by ten years. Paloma was born to Annalina's previous marriage, but her mother became a young widow and was very lucky to find love again in Nicholas, who became a true father to Palomita. Paloma dotes on Destiny and Snow and loves them deeply. She currently lives in South America, pursuing a second graduation and rekindling with her father's and Annalina's South-American families, but communicates often with the twins and their parents and their deep love for one another has never ceased to exist (after all, Paloma is a Claus, and all Clauses love each other).

Friends[]

(Please, feel free to offer new friends to Dest or ask me to remove them if you wish to ooor pm me on Discord to discuss relationships if you would like!!)

Fay Fairer[]

Back in the North Pole, Destiny didn't have many friends her age - she was homeschooled and her social environment was mainly composed by her family and her father's employees. She had a lot of experience interacting with older people, but was rather clueless when it came to talking to people her age (her brother was no exception; after all, they grew up in the same environment).

When she came to Ever After High, Destiny was absolutely eager to make friends - and was very anxious to be rooming with a fellow student. When she met Fay, during their first day of school, Destiny was so nervous and excited that their first interaction was rather... Awkward. She soon explained herself to Fay, who understood the lack of interactions on her new friend's part and welcomed her with a warm smile and tight hug. Their friendship only grew and grew and it's not exaggerated to say that Destiny loves Fay as a sister figure and, in a way, looks up to her. Of course the next Santa can (and will) make the Holidays season a little bit too overwhelming, knit way too many matching ugly sweaters for the princess, give her many jumpscares by working on her woodcraft late at night and everything in between; but nevertheless, Destiny tries her best to be a good friend to Fay, who is really important to her. Destiny can, sometimes, lack the idea of boundaries and social cues and worries deeply that this might get in the way of their friendship, but Fay respects and understands Destiny and makes the girl feel safe and loved.

Bryce Frost[]

Bryce is a good childhood friend of Destiny, and one of the few friends she's ever had. They'd play together whenever Jack Frost came to help Nicholas during winter, and so Destiny also grew close to Jackie and Northwind, Bryce's little siblings.

Destiny was absolutely thrilled to know that Bryce would be attending Ever After High and welcomed her with happiness and nostalgia. Once they were reunited, Destiny's old crush on Bryce resurfaced, and she'd inexplicably blush whenever her old friend was around, causing herself to be absolutely embarassed. Destiny dismissed her feelings towards Bryce for the sake of their friendship, which is more important to her than anything else, but still gets butterflies in her stomach whenever she spends time with her friend.

Audaline Syne, Pandora Present and Jobal-Jennifer Moria[]

What is better than one Christmas-related legacy? Four Christmas-related legacies! Once Destiny found out about the existence of the Christmas Ghosts, she absolutely had to befriend them and fangirling upon hearing about their story. She will tag along with Audaline, Pandora and Jobal-Jennifer to ensue Holiday chaos (in a good way) even when it's not Holidays season. The trio will help Destiny out with her Christmas duties and Dest truthfully enjoys their company.

Adeline Light[]

Destiny met Addy when the latter was exploring the school kitchens and the first was making sweets and treats with Ginger Breadhouse, and Dest considers this to be such a sweet and memorable meeting. Destiny likes to spend time with Adeline and finds her to be absolutely adorable, and likes to make her baskets full of sweets just to make her happy. Whenever she has an idea for a baking adventure, Destiny immediately invites Addy to tag along, and likes to give her tight hugs.

Pets[]

Noelle[]

Destiny's pet reindeer, who is the sweet baby daughter of Rudolph and whose Destiny was able to bring to Ever After High. Just like Destiny herself has a purpose on Christmas night, so does Noelle - she will, one day, be the leader of the reindeer who will pull Destiny's magical flying sleigh. Destiny does pamper Noelle a lot and even though the baby reindeer should stay on the school stables, Dest will always find a way of sneaking her into her dorm room.

Other reindeer[]

Peppermint, Candy Cane, Buttercream, Red Velvet, Cheesecake, Cookie, Peanut and Fudge are Destiny's other eight pet reindeer who had to (unfortunately) stay in the North Pole. They are, just like Noelle, being trained to pull Dest's sleigh when they grow up. Destiny really wishes she could have brought them to Ever After High with her and makes sure to write letters to each one of them every week.

Romance[]

Destiny is too busy focusing on her destiny to think about romance and keeps it a secret that she doesn't find herself suitable to be the sweeheart of someone, once again allowing her insecurities to speak louder and keeping her from finding her dearest. Dest's not a big fan of casual dates, and wants to fall in love with someone she will spend a long, long time with. She has felt herself get flustered when talking to a few particular people, her heart has skipped a beat once or twice, and Dest has her mind and heart open to anyone who is kind, patient and as jolly as she is - and accepts and loves her for who she is, all things considered.

Trivia[]

Lily james gif

Lily James, Destiny's portrayer of choice

  • Destiny's birthday is on December 23th. She really, really wishes it'd have been on the 24th.
  • Her full name is Nichole Carola Carmina Claus.
    • She has been nicknamed "Destiny" at a very young age.
  • She smells like gingerbread cookies.
  • Destiny would most likely be voiced and portrayed by the English actress Lily James, who possesses a lot of Destiny's traits and would make a perfect faceclaim.
  • Destiny has a very heavy Dutch accent.
  • Destiny was only able to have a Mirror Phone when she came to Ever After High, as they weren't necessary or popular in the North Pole. She finds it magical.
    • Speaking of that, she uses a lot of emojis in her texts. Destiny finds it easier to communicate through emojis exclusively.
    • Additionally, she also tends to incorporate internet-language and emojis into her speech. She will often say something like "Red Heart", "Smiling face with heart-eyes", "Sad dabbing cowboy" and so on.
    • It's noteworthy to say that Destiny changes her phone case quite often.
  • Her usual tags/names/url on social media is either holly_jolly or jingle_bells.
  • She speaks Dutch, Swedish (those being her first languages), French, Spanish and English fluently. She only learned how to speak French to talk to her best friend in her native language. Spanish is her mother's native tongue and although she does not speak in it frequently, Destiny remembers a great amount of it.
  • Due to spending a lot of time hearing bells, Destiny has a small, but constant sound of them echoing in her ears.
  • She is somewhat intolerant to warm weather and would get sick monthly when she came to Ever After High.
  • Destiny needs glasses, but usually does not wear them. She cannot wear contact lenses either, as she is allergic to them. Therefore, Destiny has an impaired vision, but has gotten her eyes used to the lack of ophtalmologic help - she will, however, require the help of her friends, classmates and teachers to read some things.
  • Destiny always checks everything twice. Her homework, her Christmas list, her letters, her binders, her texts.
  • Had she not chose to follow her destiny, she would like to become an elementary teacher or a cartographer.
  • She's actually pretty strong, despite her small stature. She can lift anyone with her height with no trouble at all, and can, to an extent, lift people taller/bigger than her. Destiny's also capable of carrying multiple and heavy things at once. Everyone is surprised by her physical strength once they witness it. Fay found out about it when she saw Destiny carrying five huge boxes full of things with no trouble at all and still cannot process this fact.
  • Destiny descends, on her mother's side, from North Pole elves and elves who emigrated from South America a long time ago.
  • Destiny cannot stand grammar mistakes and will correct them on a heartbeat.
  • Destiny's ideal birthday present is a Christmas-themed ring binder for her to organize her Naughty or Nice list. She asks for it every year and her friends always think that she is joking and get her something else - she doesn't complain, but would love to get her Christmas-themed binder.
  • Her laugh sounds like jingling bells.

Specific things Destiny likes:

  • The smell of gingerbread cookies coming out of the oven;
  • Listening to people speak in French, as she finds it really lovely and beautiful;
  • Surprise hugs;
  • Lifting taller people up and giving them a tight hug;
  • Wrapping Christmas gifts while listening to Christmas songs in general, especially "All I Want for Christmas is You";
  • Watching the first snowflake fall from the sky;
  • Soup (any flavor).

Specific things Destiny dislikes:

  • Crying in front of people. Destiny tends to cry alone and it just breaks her, but she can't stand doing it in front of others;
  • Disorganization and mess;
  • Warm weather (summertime is "Destiny has a cold" time);
  • Cold food and beverage;
  • Ice cream. Growing up surrounded by snow, she finds it weird to eat something that has the same texture as snow, melts like snow and is basically flavoured snow.

(Borrowing this idea from Taleart!)
