DEVOTED
xxx»» As horrible as it sounds, Celeste was raised to serve. Her family's old-fashioned sensibilities insist that a woman's lot in life is to support the men in their lives. While she at times questions the wisdom of this, she knows that, being only a child, it's not going to do her any good to argue. She also finds that it's quite useful to be loyal to people, because it often inspires loyalty in return. She would do anything for her brother, for her mother, for anyone she deems as worthy of her attention, even to her own detriment. She's generally able to get herself out of a tight spot, so she doesn't fear the repercussions if an attempt to help someone else goes south. She would hesitate at nothing that was asked of her, so long as the right person was doing the asking.
ASTUTE
xxx»» Being raised that Children Should Be Seen And Not Heard, Celeste didn't do much in the way of talking as a small child. Instead, she did a lot of watching. She observed people, observed events, observed the world in general. While she was rather sheltered as a child and her experiences are therefore limited, she's rather quick to assess a situation from a distance. She's clever, and generally speaking has good judgement. She can make snap decisions and generally trust that her instincts and previous experiences haven't let her down. Overall, she's rather clever, though she likes to keep this to herself.
CLEVER
xxx»» She is quick to think of inventive solutions to problems. When presented with the fact that her brother was doing poorly in his lessons, and didn't like attending them anyway, she offered to attend them in his stead, using her powers to take on his appearance. She can generally think and talk her way out of trouble, feigning innocence and ignorance until whoever has caught her ushers her away with a promise not to make the same mistake twice. She is adept at figuring out just what to say or do in any given situation, solving puzzles easily and recalling the oddest of seemingly innocuous bits of information in a conversation.
TIMID
xxx»» Celeste harbors a great fear of being in trouble, at least with one person. Her father, who can generally be expected to ignore her entirely, will at times very suddenly recall her existence simply to scold her over something small. Of all the people in her life, he is the only one who is never easy on her, and the punishments for trouble-making are severe. She would argue, in her mind, that most of the time the punishment greatly outweighs the crime. As such, she is hesitant to do anything that would attract his attention. If asked by her brother, she'll misbehave, but she is always quite careful about how she goes about it. She's rather quiet and unassuming, preferring to blend into the background. She's uncomfortable with attention being focused on her, and is quite content to stand behind her much more boisterous brother and let him do the talking for her.
COMPASSIONATE
xxx»» While there are few people in the world Celeste truly cares about, she has never been known to be cruel or unkind to anyone she meets. While she was raised in a family that believes itself to be superior to others, she personally sees that their superiority is simply a cosmic gift, not something that was earned. As such, she tries not to look down on those who are inferior to her. She believes in being kind to everyone, even if they don't necessarily deserve it. To earn even an unkind word from her requires quite a feat of cruelty on the part of another, and while she may harbor anger for some, she will never let it affect her own actions towards them.
DILIGENT
xxx»» Celeste believes in the value of perseverance and hard work. Once she commits to something, she is committed to see it through, no matter the outcome. Promises are sacred to her, and no matter how much trouble she has fulfilling them, she will stop at nothing to be sure she does. Nothing short of literal impossibility can prevent her from completing a task she has set for herself, and even then, it takes quite a bit of convincing to make her give in. She doesn't believe in leaving work unfinished, and finds laziness (in anyone but her brother) to be unacceptable. While she's not one who would generally take on hard work out of choice, she believes in doing what needs to be done. If that means helping with a task that should be beneath her, so be it.

CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Celeste is the firstborn child, older than her twin brother by exactly ten minutes and thirty-six seconds, at least according to her mother. Given that the woman is quite obsessed with small details like that, Celeste is inclined to believe her. however, in spite of being the oldest, she was raised with the knowledge that her brother would be the heir, due to his being male, as that was proper. She, on the other hand, as a female, was expected to be someone's wife. Her family is rather old-fashioned in that way, still prone to arranged marriages and teaching boys to be the providers, the strong ones, the boss, and girls to be submissive, sweet, modest. Indeed, Celeste was taught to always look to her brother for guidance, and to respect his authority in all things. The family has one decided quirk, which is that all males are expected to be sorted into Slytherin, house for the ambitious and cunning, and females into Hufflepuff, house of the loyal and hard-working. These values, the family teaches, are quite in line with what is proper for a young man or lady.
xxx»» Being the heir, Sorin was forced from a young age to sit in on lessons with his father, taught all the ins and outs of the world, according to the Kinsley way of life. However, Sorin was never one to care for these lessons. He found them boring, and stifling. He'd been doted on and spoiled by his grandmother and mother when he was born, and so had little real respect for authority figures. Celeste, having been born a metamorphmagus and possessing an unwavering loyalty to her brother, eventually came up with a plan; she would pose as her brother and sit in on the lessons for him. It took a lot of hard work to successfully alter her features to match his well enough, but their father was far to preoccupied with other things to pay close attention, and so their ruse was never discovered. As a result, Celeste received a fairly large chunk of the teaching intended for her brother. Their dynamic shifted as a result, with the previously submissive sister taking on the role of secret leader, pretending to look to her brother for guidance, when really it was the other way around. Sorin, the slacker, was more than happy to adjust to this change, as it took a lot of responsibility off his shoulders.
SCHOOL YEARS
xxx»» Celeste was sorted into Hufflepuff, as expected, and her early school years went more or less the way they were supposed to. She mostly kept her head down and stuck to socializing with her brother, and with the one real friend she made, Delphinia Meadows. Her friendship with the Ravenclaw girl was such that, in an attempt to draw them closer together, she manipulated her grandmother into betrothing her brother to the girl. This was a small consolation for the fact that her own betrothed, a Slytherin named Hermalaos Winthrop, was exactly the sort of boy she'd known she'd end up with. Horrible, in other words. Her relationship with Finny grew strained due to her manipulations, but eventually it was put behind them.
xxx»» By the time they got to their fifth year, Celeste was more or less resigned to her fate, as much as she didn't like it. She tried to focus on her studies as a distraction. Her brother, always a slacker despite knowing the consequences should he underperform, shared that he was worried he wouldn't do well on his practical exams. Celeste offered to take them in his stead. Unfortunately, they were overheard by her betrothed, who blackmailed her into taking his practicals as well, on top of having her impersonate various other students for reasons that varied between harmless pranks and being outright malicious. Then, he broke his word to her by reporting her and Sorin. She in turn confessed, and threw him under the bus.

ADULTHOOD
xxx»» Celeste's father intended to punish her heavily for her expulsion, and the ensuing scandal. But, Sorin, seemingly incapable of sitting by and watching their father take out his rage on his sister once again, reacted violently with his magic, accidentally killing the man. Their grandmother caught them attempting to hide the body. To their surprise, she scolded them for being sloppy more than anything else, and helped them dispose of it. Then, she concocted a story about how Eric had left the country to travel, and had Celeste begin impersonating her father at random intervals to cover his death. She pulled Sorin from school to prevent him from letting anything slip, and continued their studies privately from home as best she could. Their mother remained largely in the dark about what had happened, only being told that Eric was gone. Having been a victim of his abuse just as much as Celeste for years, she quietly accepted this turn of events and went on as normal.

AMBITIOUS
xxx»» Sorin was groomed from birth to be somebody important. The who, specifically, never much mattered, just as long as they were someone possessing power that his name demanded. As such, he has rather high expectations for himself, at least regarding where he'll end up. He assumes that his lack of specific goals won't hinder him, as he'll discover the answer once he gets to school, and discovers which areas he is already predisposed to. Choosing a field in which he has a natural talent, he assumes, will set him ahead of the curve, and make furthering his future career that much easier.
APATHETIC
xxx»» Generally speaking, he doesn't care about much of anything. He has his goals, of course, but the how and why in attaining them aren't important to him. Similarly, save his sister, he has almost no emotional reaction to people. His family inspires little in him, except a vague curiosity. Unlike his sister, a deeply caring person, he doesn't think he'd so much as bat an eye at the news that some horrible fate had befallen their mother or grandmother. His father, meanwhile, he might manage some emotional reaction to... but it would be one of glee, since his father's death would mean he inherited control of the estate. More importantly, it would save his sister all her worrying about what the man thinks of her or will do to her. Strangers are simply tools, once he will evaluate, and makes use of if he can. If not, he has no time for them.
MANIPULATIVE
xxx»» Sorin can be quite lazy; he dislikes making an effort towards anything that hasn't drawn his specific interest, and being that those things are few and far between, he rarely wants to indulge in much of anything. As such, he's become a master of manipulating his way out of almost any situation. He often takes advantage of his sister's giving nature, even getting her to use her metamorphamagus abilities to sit in on his lessons with their father for him, so that he doesn't have to. This, he insists, is only fair, because she actually enjoys the lessons. He's also adept at faking illness or injury to get his mother and grandmother to dote on him and leave tasks they would have requested of him to the family's house-elf. Even his father isn't immune to his machinations, having a soft spot for his only son that blinds him to the fact that he's being conned.
POLITE
xxx»» Sorin was raised to be a gentleman. Offending another person is the gravest sin he could ever commit, in spite of his apathy and manipulative nature. He doesn't care much for people, but he knows how he's supposed to treat them. He's quick with a kind word, and always acts with chivalry. He can be charming when it suits him, and he finds that it often does, as his apparent courteous nature makes him rather popular. It's easier to get his way when he is well-liked, and so he aspires to be as well-liked as possible. While he does harbor beliefs that he is superior to most everyone he meets, you would never know it from talking to him; he keeps all harsh judgements between himself, and his sister.
SPOILED
xxx»» Being the heir of an exceptionally old family, Sorin was doted on. His grandmother in particular adored him, taken with his resemblance to his grandfather. In his youth, he was given everything he ever wanted. As he grew older and the older Kinsleys attempted to reign him in, he made use of his manipulative nature to keep it going. Neither his mother, nor his grandmother, can bear to see him unhappy, so they are quick to fulfill any wish he has. His father, meanwhile, believes that, as the male heir, anything he wants is his due by default. Sorin's only vestige of generosity is that he will often take advantage of this to win things for his sister, who never received the same attention.
LOYAL
xxx»» This trait is reserved for one person in the world, and one only. Sorin would do anything for his sister, would move Heaven and Earth to keep her happy. While she is more than willing to accept others into her heart, and to give them her loyalty, he has none for anyone but her. He'll feign devotion to anyone she deems worthy, as he trusts her judgement implicitly, but at the end of the day, he wouldn't lift a finger for another person if he didn't know his sister would want him to. Still, Celeste's happiness is the most important thing to him. They share everything with one another, and they alone know the truth of the other.

CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Sorin was born ten minutes after his sister Celeste, give or take a few seconds. However, his being male and her being female saved him the dreaded curse of the second born, being left with nothing in spite of the negligible gap between them. Instead, he was named heir to the Kinsley line, something he never questioned, nor did his sister. As far as they were both concerned, this was proper, and it wasn't as though Celeste wouldn't be taken care of in her own way. Practically from the moment they were born, she was trained to be the perfect wife for the perfect husband, a kind and affectionate support to whatever ambitious young Slytherin boy the family could find for her. Females in their family were a rarity, something which was fortunate, due to most Slytherin families wanting to marry Slytherins, and not seeing the draw of Hufflepuffs. The Kinsley line was odd in this respect, in that they believed a woman had no place in the house of snakes, being that traits such as ambition and cunning were unbecoming of a proper young lady. Instead, they were groomed to be badgers, hard working and loyal. Celeste had these traits in spades, a fact her brother always admired about her.
xxx»» Being the heir, Sorin was forced from a young age to sit in on lessons with his father, taught all the ins and outs of the world, according to the Kinsley way of life. However, Sorin was never one to care for these lessons. He found them boring, and stifling. He'd been doted on and spoiled by his grandmother and mother when he was born, and so had little real respect for authority figures. Celeste, having been born a metamorphmagus and possessing an unwavering loyalty to her brother, eventually came up with a plan; she would pose as her brother and sit in on the lessons for him. It took a lot of hard work to successfully alter her features to match his well enough, but their father was far to preoccupied with other things to pay close attention, and so their ruse was never discovered. Sorin was quite pleased with himself for getting her to agree to the lessons. He did note, when they started, that her intellect seemed to be surpassing his own, but that was of little concern to him. While she would eventually be someone's wife, she would always be his sister first. Any wisdom she possessed, was then his as well, and nothing to be threatened by. He knew she would do anything for him, just as he would for her, and so he thought it only right that she share the bounty that their father would have denied her. Given that she enjoyed the lessons, he thought nothing of 'allowing' her to take them in his place.
SCHOOL YEARS
xxx»» Sorin was sorted into Slytherin, and proceeded to more or less coast by on his sister's helping with his schoolwork and his natural intelligence. He never really put forth any effort to excelling, happy to be away from his father's watchful eyes. He rebelled against his father by befriending his housemate Akira, a mudblood tech genius who attempted to teach Sorin about computers out of sheer spite. Sorin was more than okay with this. He was less okay with his sister getting him betrothed to her best friend, if only because he knew he wasn't exactly dream husband material and figured Finny deserved better. Still, he didn't see any way out of it, and made a promise that he would at least be a better husband to her than his father was to his mother. Which wasn't a hard promise to keep, given how low it set the bar, but he made it anyway.
xxx»» Fifth year brought a prefect badge, and anxiety over OWL exams. It wasn't that Sorin thought he'd do poorly, so much as he knew that anything less than perfect would be unacceptable. Given that his wandwork was shoddy at best, even when he did apply himself, he didn't see a good end result. Given that his father tended to take things out on Celeste more than him, even when it was his fault, he wasn't feeling too good about this eventuality. Celeste volunteered to take his practicals for him, which he agreed to. Things didn't quite work out like they were supposed to thanks to her betrothed mucking things up, and in the end they were caught and Celeste was expelled.
ADULTHOOD
xxx»» Sorin returned home, knowing that nothing good was awaiting them. But, when he watched their father preparing to punish his sister, something inside him snapped; his magic reacted to his emotional state, and an attempt to get the man away from his sister threw their father into a wall sconce, impaling him on it and killing him. They got caught attempting to cover the murder up by their grandmother, who took things into her own hands. She came up with a story to explain Eric's sudden 'resignation' and absence, then pulled Sorin from school so that she could home-school the twins.
