A few important things to note about my portrayals of Theo and Nina:

Theo’s real name is actually Theodoros ; he despises that name, though.

Theo was born in Athens, Greece and spent much of his early childhood there. His father was a descendant of an ancient noble Greco-Roman line and his mother was a doctor. With that said, his father was rather neglectful of him, seeing as how his only bookworm son was nothing like his macho father and he had a conflicted but overall loving relationship with his mother.

Theodoros liked his books and often researched alone in his study in solace and from a young age, he had a bizzare, perhaps even an eerie endless fascination with anatomy, conspiracies, science, mythology, the occult, and how living beings worked, even as a young boy. This drove him away from other children his age in social isolation but he didn’t mind. In fact, he considered it less of a distraction.

His first friends were Nicolas Brown and Worick Arcangelo.

Was taught to play the piano.

Had a fascination with H.P Lovecraft - particularly the Cthulu mythos - a series he is still fond of to this day.

Theo wasn’t always meant to be a doctor. In fact, he was actually a teen actor and theatre kid back in Athens, where he was born, but that failed miserably due to complications in the household and after having lost his wealth due to his father not giving him anything and doing several morally questionable things, he moved to Ergastulum and helped his mother with the clinic.

Had an affair and fell in love with a lovely courtesan in his middle adolescence, when he found out, however, that she’d been sleeping with another, he murdered her and her lover in blind rage. He vowed to never get that furious ever again, unless if it’s to protect Nina.

Had his ring finger and pinky finger amputated by a group of stray Twilights who got furious with his mother and raided their clinic ; when he refused to give his supplies up, he paid the price. His mother overdosed later that same year, but Theo suspects it was the corrupt police or the Corsica Family behind her death. He was merely eighteen years old at the time.

Has sociopathic tendencies.

He speaks no more than what he believes needs to be said. He is capable of performing brutal and disturbing tasks while appearing cold-blooded and detached over the whole thing. So when he cracks a potty-mouthed comment and keeps a straight face about it, it's no wonder it takes everyone by surprise.

Perfectionist. A bit of a clean and tidy freak, although it’s understandable considering he lives in Ergastulum of all places.

Will swear in Greek when furious.

He speaks Italian, English, French and Spanish with a hint of a Greek accent.

Occasionally acts as a listener, psychologist and therapist to those who need it.

The only person he genuinely loves is Nina, who he considers his daughter, after having raised her for years ever since she was a baby.

He’s skilled in poison and drug creation and will fight with syringes laced in deadly poisons and god-knows-what-else.

Although not an overly religious man, his patron deity is Apollo.

While having advanced knowledge on the human body can be used to save people, it also gives him all the knowledge on how to injure and kill people with minimal effort by knowing all the body's weak points.

Murdered his own father by poison at age seventeen after he wouldn’t give him any wealth in his will to support the Twilights in Ergastulum after he promised him that he would on the same year he murdered his lover and her lover; hasn’t told anyone about this.

Began taking care of an infant Nina at age nineteen.

Theo suspects that Worick ( @kuroyri ) is Nina’s biological father, but hasn’t had the chance to tell him.

Nina’s beat him with a broomstick in an attempt to get him to stop smoking ; it didn’t work.

As a baby, Nicolas and Worick were often assigned to babysit her ; none of them minded.

Nina has a fondness for everything pretty and cute ; she really wants a rabbit and a cat but unfortunately, due to them both living in a clinic combined with their home, that wouldn’t be wise, much to Nina’s dismay.

Nina has her own little rabbit piggybank and saves up.

She often paints portraits and landscapes on herself when she has the time and likes mixing colors. Her room is painted with all kinds of colors — it's a truly marvelous room and she only allows close friends to enter.

She wears homegrown or fresh store bought flowers in her hair, with each flower representing a mood she's feeling.

She's knowledgeable in the flower language and the fan language and other nonverbal communication, and will often send others messages in form of flowers based on the Victorian Era.

As Nina is a halfblood Chimera / Superhuman Normal, she shares a few abilities of pureblooded Chimeras, but as she is both a halfblood and untrained, her abilities are diluted in comparison to a trained, pureblooded Chimera and thus her abilities are in a stage of dormancy, meaning that she’d have to be trained by a Superhuman Normal in order for her to awaken them, but this is highly unlikely to happen regardless.

She possesses eyesight that can see at telescopic/microscopic levels while zooming in and focusing on objects from great distances, hear heartbeats and voices from miles away, determine the chemical composition of objects by smell, dissect food ingredients by taste, and determine fabrics by touch — all things worthy of Theo's apprentice.

Her sense of smell is so acute that she can distinguish between identical twins by differences in smell, and can identify any person she's spent at least five minutes with by scent alone, no matter how hard another tries to conceal it. She can focus on a single person’s scent and follow it through a crowd of people.

She can hear another person’s heartbeat or people whispering on the other side of a soundproofed wall. Can block out even her own heartbeat and breathing to focus on one particular sound. This makes her an excellent spy and scout. This gives her tactical advantages as well, such as awareness of people hiding around the corners of rooms, walls, buildings and furniture and makes it virtually impossible to literally blindside Nina.

On formal occasions she wears a pair of ruby earrings given to her by Theo for her eleventh birthday.

Nina's an agnostic and an eclectic witch.

Although not officially diagnosed, Nina inherits hyperthymesia from Worick. This means that she can essentially recall much of her life in vivid, near perfect detail, as well as public events that mean something to her. She would describe her memories as uncontrollable associations, when she sees a certain date, she “sees” a vivid depiction of that day in her head. These recollections occurs without hesitation or concious effort. However, although this is a rare ability, it also takes a detrimental toll on her mental health. The constant, irrepressible memories has caused a significant disruption on Nina’s life. It’s non-stop, uncontrollable, totally exhausting and a burden to her. As a result, Nina is prone to getting lost in remembering, and she is quite literally trapped in her past. This can make it difficult to attend to the present and the future, as she is literally permanently living in the past. This makes her suffering even worse because she can remember every death, every scream and all her worst memories in vivid, excruciating detail... and there’s no cure. Nina remembers having it for as long as she could remember.

As a halfblood superhuman, Nina has powers beyond the norm, but in comparison to a pureblood superhuman, her abilities are significantly reduced and even so, many of them are dormant.

She strongly believes in fairies and magic while being scientifically knowledgeable.

Although she is merely twelve years old, Nina is in actuality a medical genius and had she had the chance to grow up, Theo truly believed that she would’ve surpassed him, not only as a doctor but as a better person than he could ever be.

She leaves offerings for fairies in the local garden on her terrace.

Although she can see in the dark perfectly, Nina has many lavalamps and fairylights in her room.

Sunflowers are her favorites.

She often gives out lollipops to Theo’s patients.

Whenever things get rough, she takes inspiration from reading old World War II diaries of survivors.

Nina, although questioning, is pancurious ; might have developed a puppy dog crush on Loretta.

She’s always wanted to sail on a gondola and fly in the sky with the birds. Although they cannot afford to pay for a gondola, Nicolas Brown helps in carrying her around in the air which makes her very happy.

She and Theo once went to the Holocaust memorials museums in Germany. Nina came out crying, though it had been her decision to go there

Nina’s favorite movie of all time is The Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
