Name: Larissa Serafima Kaminski
Russian Variant Name (w/ Patronymic and Surname correction): Larissa Serafima Sevastyanovna Kaminskaya
Nicknames / Aliases: Lara Halliwell
Date of Birth: 15 September, 2019
Age: 19
Description: Larissa stands at about 5'3, normally wearing heels at least two inches high. She has a pale complexion, with green eyes that fade to grey when she's angry and has raven hair. However, she transfigures her hair to various shades of blonde, accompanied with a streak of another color, often pink, but sometimes blue or violet. Her wardrobe can be best classified as punk and/or goth, often black with skull jewelry and fishnets as accessories. She often wears gloves or at least fingerless fishnet gloves, concealing an ankh scar on her wrist that she had carved with a knife.
Parents: Sevastyan Maksimovich Kaminski & Amaranth Viper
Siblings: Demyan Elessar Kaminski (younger brother) & Ethelinda Praskovya Kaminski (younger sister)
Godparents: Svetlana Kaminskaya (godmother) and Ethan Addams (godfather)
House Sorted Into: Slytherin
Wand: 10 inch Cedar with Basilisk Venom
Personality: Lara is icy, guarded and distant with a fierce protectiveness over her family, especially her sister Lynn. She has a lack of trust and faith over people, therefore is quite mean to those around her. She's stubborn and always believes she's right, with a hint of arrogance on her, believing that it was because of her she and her siblings survived and she doesn't need anyone's help. However, she will do anything to protect her siblings and make them happy, even if it is her who has to make the sacrifice.
Lara was always a "Daddy's Little Girl", especially now considering he is the only parent Lara will acknowledge or think about. She sees him as her big, strong Hero who would always protect her from the "Boogie-Man" and died saving all of them, willingly and knowingly sacrificing his life for their's. Her mother on the otherhand was, in Lara's opinion, the most selfish person in the world who abandoned her children to satisfy her own hunger for revenge. Lara will more or less bite the head off of anyone, besides Lynn, who says one positive thing about her Mother or even brings their Mother into a conversation.
Deep down, way past the hostility and defensiveness she is a sweet person with a sense of humor. That is the side Lynn, and sometimes Demyan sees, and maybe someday it'll be the side the whole world sees. But for now, its hidden behind Lara's sharp wit and tongue, and cold exterior.
Likes and Hobbies: +Being the leader
+Being in control over everything happening
+Flying. She often goes out in the middle of the night to go flying on her broom
Can't Stand: -Not being in control.
-Hypocrites
-Control-freaks
-Liars
-Selfishness
-Hearing her mother praised.
-Lying to her sister, even if it is for her own good.
Personal Motto: Because I Can
Theme Song: The Howling by Within Temptation
Distinct History Snippets/Memories:
~ Her father singing to her in Russian, rocking her gently to get her to sleep
~ Running into her parent's bedroom during a particularly nasty thunderstorm when she was about three, feeling an safeness and happiness sleeping beside them, as though nothing could ever hurt her.
~ Being constantly afraid of the dark and of the "Boogie-Man" hurting her, and her father checking her closet and under her bed every night, ensuring and promising her that he would never let any monster ever hurt her.
~ January 7, 2029, Lynn's 4th birthday. It was full of laughter and happiness...until the purgers came. Her father handed Lynn to her Mother, urging them to run while he held them back, sacrificing his life for their's.
~ Her mother taking them to Viper Manor, promising them that they would be safe, only to have the Manor attacked by Purgers a few weeks later.
~ Being handed to an unfamiliar couple who was introduced to Lara and her siblings as "Aunt Dessa" and "Uncle Steve". Lara vivedly remembers her Mother kissing and hugging each of the children goodbye with dark sunglasses on and a cloak over her head, leaving them in the care of her sister and brother-in-law. Lara cried for her Mother to come back, her cries echoing through, tears streaming down her face, only to be held back by her Aunt Dessa who desperately tried to comfort the child.
Lara assumed her Mother left the children in cold blood, considering how Viper ignored her pleas. She never saw the tears trailing down Viper's face as she forced herself to keep running and ignore the painful sounds of her child crying for her.

Name: Demyan Elessar Kaminski
Russian Variant Name (w/ Patronymic): Demyan Elessar Sevastyanovich Kaminski
Nicknames / Aliases: Dem, Elessar, "D" .... Identifies self as Demyan Turunen when speaking to those of the past.
Date of Birth: 11 April, 2022
Age: 16
Description: See picture below for the main idea. Here is a list of his personal effects:
--* Necklace with a stoppered bottle pendant. Within the bottle is Amaranth's note of 'Gomenasai'. It is curled so the word can be seen from within its container. He is
very touchy about this piece of jewelry. Attached to the bottle is also an ankh pendant.
--* Amaranth's locket, which Sevastyan had given to her for Christmas in the year 2018. He doesn't wear it, but does keep it with him.
Parents: Sevastyan Maksimovich Kaminski & Amaranth Viper
Siblings: Larissa Serafima Kaminski (older sister) and Ethelinda Praskovya Kaminski (younger sister)
Godparents: Svetlana Kaminskaya (godmother) and Ethan Addams (godfather)
Medical Information: Like several of his Viper-family ancestors, Demyan has a light variety of CIPA that prevents him from being able to sense hot temperatures. Likewise, Lara is unable to perceive cold.
Animagus Form: Black-scaled King Cobra (click for pic)
House Sorted Into: Slytherin
Wand: Oak and Runespoor fang; 9 3/4 inches
Personality: Though he hates to hear it, Demyan's personality is very much like his father's. Because of all that he has seen in his young life, Future Demyan is remarkably silent or at least quiet around those he doesn't know. He does not talk about his past too willingly to those he does not trust, and tends to be very touchy about Slytherin-, Viper Clan-, and/or Kaminski Clan-bashing. At his worst he can be an annoying pessimist; at his best: a haunted but still kind-hearted young boy.
He harbors a great resentment toward his father, under the assumption that the man "abandoned" his mother and sisters. Voicing this tends to create tension in the friendship between him and Edwin DeLanquar, though Demyan often shuts up when Edwin defends the man in question. Sometimes his acting out like this is seen as rebelliousness. Demyan has a deep unconditional love for his mother, whom above all he just wants to see alive and well again. When he thinks no one is watching, he either talks to his mother through the stars or via her old locket that Sevastyan gave to her that he now possesses.
Likes & Hobbies:+ Being multi-lingual (can speak fluent English, Russian, German, and Parseltongue... knows very basic Japanese)
+ Doing
something! ((hates idling))
+ Anything Oriental / Japanese
+ Wizard Chess
+ Plotting & planning; "playing" leader of the siblings ((xD))
Can't Stand:
- Idling about
- When his sister Lara clashes heads with him
- Feeling abandoned
- Lying to Lynn about when their father died, yet feels honor-bound not to tell
Personal Motto: "That which does not destroy us makes us stronger."
Theme Song: Planet Hell by Nightwish
Distinct History Snippets / Memories:~Infant memory of Viper's soothing parseltongue whisper as he fussed...
~3rd birthday; when parents bought him a toy broomstick
~Some time when he was around 5, Demyan hurt himself. Viper had him "all fixed up" in seconds
~Found an ashwinder and asked his mother if he could keep it. She agreed, though she needed to speak with his father first.
~Playfully chasing his father around on a real broomstick at the age of six, in a mock game of quidditch that was close to the ground
~January 7, 2029. Lynn's 4th birthday party in Hogsmeade. Everything was going great, and the family couldn't be happier. That was when the Purgers came. Sevastyan seen them, and immediately handed Lynn off to Viper and urged them to go, but he didn't hear or understand that part. All he sees is Sevastyan "pushing Lynn into Mum's arms and running toward a group of cloaked figures". They had gotten out of there before danger could befall them.
~The attack on Viper Manor, and the shock it had been. Resented father for not being there even though he knew the man was dead. It hadn't fully sunk in yet.
~Viper taking him and his sisters to Odessa's house. Remembers the look in her eyes and the fact that he couldn't quite place why she looked so sad at first.
~Finding the note that simply read 'Gomenasai' just before finding out his mother died, and the measures he took to preserve this note within a bottle.
~Discovering that the reason why Uncle Steve was having allergy problems - and why his favorite cereal was disappearing rather too quickly - was because Lynn was harboring an injured rabbit in the back yard. Instead of ratting on her, he decides to keep her secret instead. Has mixed feelings about having the rabbit named after him, but allows it - going so far as to refer to it as his "hairy little/twin brother".

Name: Ethelinda Praskovya Kaminski
Russian Variant Name (w/ Patronymic and Surname correction): Ethelinda Praskovya Sevastyanovna Kaminskaya
Nicknames / Aliases: Lynn Turunen
Date of Birth: 7 January 2025
Age: 13
Description: Lynn is a Metamorphmagus, often changing her features both out of amusement and for safety. Naturally though, she stands at about 5'2, although she doesn't like wearing heels, opting for flats instead, preferably flip-flops. She looks alot like her father: medium brown hair with a tint of red and big blue-grey eyes. However, using her Metamorphmagus abilities she often alters her coloring just a bit: mainly her hair and eye color to see how she would look like with her Mother's features. She wears an assortment of colors, but mainly crimson and emerald colored clothing, as she remembers those were colors her parents wore and were fond of. Hidden beneath her robes is her father's locket, an identical one to the one he had given her Mother for Christmas. She keeps it on at all times, positioning it close to her heart.
Parents: Sevastyan Maksimovich Kaminski & Amaranth Viper
Siblings: Larissa Serafima Kaminski (older sister) & Demyan Elessar Kaminski (older brother)
Godparents: Svetlana Kaminskaya (godmother) and Ethan Addams (godfather)
House Sorted Into: Ravenclaw
Wand: 9 inch willow with unicorn tail hair.
Personality: Lynn is best classified as the sweet one, caring for and about all those around her. She has a fun sense of humor, and it doesn't take much to make her smile and laugh. However, she tends to seek refuge behind her happy, bubbly facade. She feels many emotions such as sorrow and fear, yet never shows it, bottling them all and keeping it to herself.
Deep down she also feels an intense jealousy towards her siblings for they have one precious, priceless gift that she can never have: memories of their parents. True, she has her flashes, remembers a bit here and there, but not like her siblings. Lynn has to struggle to even remember exactly what her parents look like.
But despite the limited time she had with her Mother and Father, she loves both dearly. Unlike Lara and Demyan she blames and holds anger for neither Mother or Father. To her, both parents sacrificed their lives to protect her and her siblings. Neither abandoned their children, they merely did what they had to do to ensure the children's safety, even if it meant paying with their own blood.
Often, whenever she's lonely or afraid, she reaches for the locket she wears and clutches it, feeling as though her parents are right beside her, guiding her through all the trials she faces in life.
Likes & Hobbies:+Puzzles and Riddles
+Playing Wizard's Chess
+Brewing Potions
+Taming Magical Creatures
+Spending Time with Her Siblings
Can't Stand:-Arguing and fighting
-Liars
Personal Motto: A single moment of understanding can flood a whole life with meaning.
Theme Song: Somewhere by Within Temptation & Butterfly by Delta Goodrem
Distinct History Snippets / Memories:~Her father holding her gently against him as he sat in a rocking chair, telling her in a soft gentle tone how he and her mother met and other various anecdotes.
~Sitting on her Mother's lap as her Mother played the piano, singing softly while Lynn banged various keys as well, turning the song into a duet of sorts, her father sitting beside her mother singing along.
~A celebration of sorts where Lynn was sitting on her Father's lap and noticed a necklace hanging around his neck: a locket. She plays with it for a moment before her father sees her looking and playing with it and takes it off so his daughter can observe it and hold it more easily.
~Various flashes filled with red and green beams of light darting everywhere, fires spreading, lightning tearing through, screams, and tears.
~Lara crying for their Mother while Lynn herself, not knowing what was going on, rested as her "Uncle Steve" carried her.
