Victor and Vera start school this year. Victor, their firstborn, is a clever child who enjoys all sorts of puzzles, but is also rather serious and not one to joke around.

Vera is a bit quiet, though not shy, and very responsible for a five-year-old - she's already learned to read.

Adam isn't as outgoing as his twin sister, but is nonetheless a friendly child, though he can sometimes seams rude without meaning to be. 6-year old Vera has become quite a little biologist, and after long debates, her parents have agreed to get her 3 beta fish - the fish are inaccessible to Delilah and Freddie, which doesn't stop them for looking at them with longing. Vera claims to differentiate the fish, and has named them, but her parents think all three look the same.
