What is Lilia Vanrouge based off of in Twisted Wonderland? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! However, there may be some minor spoilers ahead! So proceed with caution! Now then, let's get on with it! For those of you who don't know, the characters of Twisted Wonderland are all based on Disney villains in some way. Although they may not be directly based on the villain, they are all based on the villains. Some of them are more obvious, but others have fans questioning who or what they could be based on. Many fans have assumed Lilia is based on the dragon form of Maleficent. Personally, I don't fully believe this. Not only is Malleus already based on both forms of Maleficent, but it also wouldn't make very much sense. Lilia is small, as opposed to the very large dragon form of Maleficent. He also has nothing indicating he's connected to dragons at all. Instead, he's heavily associated with bats. There's a bat on his coffin, he likes to hang upside down, it's implied he can fly, and bats often surround him when he's taking his classes. Along with this, he also says he hates looking for things because he isn't good at finding them. Although there's a chance he's based more on Maleficent's minions than her dragon form, there's an even bigger chance that he's based on the curse itself. Bats did appear momentarily when Maleficent casted the curse in the original film, and Lilia is Silver's father because he found him as a baby and raised him; which would be the equivalent of the curse always being with Aurora. Some fans also theorize that he could have parts of the three fairies from the movie mixed in, but I find this somewhat unlikely. He's more likely an embodiment of the curse, while possibly being mixed with the live action movie version of Maleficent who did help raise Aurora. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I just wanted to talk about this because a lot of fans say he's the dragon form of Maleficent when that's very unlikely. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, I will be including a picture of the curse from the original movie, as well as a picture of Lilia below. Enjoy!
