Deep down, he wouldn’t mind breaking the rules now and again, but was taught the hard way as a child that rebelling against the status quo will only make things worse for himself and others.Īfter the events of Book 1, he learns to be a bit less strict with his fellow dorm members, as well as with himself. While his strictness seems to come from a place of entitlement at first, it’s later revealed that Riddle feels like he must act this way out of obligation. He has a tendency to lash out against those who disagree with his way of thinking, as he considers his values to be morally right no matter what. He can be a bit irritable at times, sometimes for unnecessary reasons, like when someone mentions his height. Riddle is very dedicated to his studies at Night Raven College, and seeks perfection in every aspect of his life. He considers any written rule, whether it be from the school, the teachers, or the Queen herself, to be of utmost importance, and believes that any disobedience will cause unneeded chaos. He can be seen as strict and intimidating by his fellow dorm members due to his severe punishments towards those who break the Queen’s rules, no matter how insignificant they may seem. He makes it his duty to uphold hundreds of strange rules created by the Queen of Hearts as per his dorm’s customs. Riddle has a strong commitment to maintaining order among his peers. Placed where the sash and cape connect is a white rose, halfway covered in red paint.

The cape is seemingly connected to a checkerboard-patterned sash with yellow trim that wraps over the lapel of his coat. It is black on the outside with red underlining and a large, white collar near the neck. His signature cape is worn over his left shoulder, and reaches the floor in length. The boots have gold soles with high-heels, and red heart designs over the toe cap and heel. Over the pants are black, over-the-knee boots, with a gold, heart-shaped design on the boot collars. His pants are white to match his coat, with a red and yellow stripe on the outer seams. Over the coat and around his waist is a striped, yellow and black sash, tied on his right side under a white pin, with red ruffles and a gold “H” in the center.

Underneath the lapel of the coat on his left side hangs two gold ornaments, and printed on his coat is the symbol of Heartslabyul. A gold, crown-shaped pin is placed where the bow-tie intersects. Seen under the coat is a white dress shirt with a frilled collar, and a red and black cross bow-tie around the neck. The lapels of his coat are asymmetrically colored black and red, and the red cuffs on his sleeves are folded up to reveal long, black gloves.

The coat dress is folded in the front in a curtain-type manner, connecting to two red roses on both sides of the coat. He wears a long white coat dress with yellow buttons, yellow trim, and a red underlining with a card-suit pattern. Riddle also wears red eyeshadow when in his dorm uniform. The most distinguishing features are the small, golden crown on his head resembling the crown worn by the Queen of Hearts, and a long cape worn on his left shoulder. His eyes are bluish-gray, and he is commonly seen with a stern look on his face.Īs the housewarden, Riddle’s dorm uniform differs greatly from the rest of the Heartslabyul students. His bangs curve inward, and two prominent strands of hair on the top of his head fall forward and form a heart shape. His hair is a neutral red color, and is cut short in the back and a bit longer around his face. Riddle is a young-looking, fair-skinned boy that is considerably shorter than a majority of his peers.
