Most Finkels are still in Germany to this date, but the Grimoire-bearing line moved to the US in the 60s, and this list is all about them and good god are there a lot of them.
The list & all the notes are in Finnish; it’s not like I have any followers who don’t understand Finnish, so whatever ahahah. This is a super boring list anyway, so the only people who will probably enjoy this are @krysanteemi and @kinuskikakku.
Tämä tuskin on kätevin tapa listata populaa mutta come on minä teen mitä teen. B’) Valtaosa näistä tuskin koskaan tulee relevantiksi juonen kannalta mutta onpahan tiedossa jenkki-Finkelien tämänhetkinen määrä kuitenkin.

30: Are you straight, bi, gay, asexual or pansexual?
Important answers under the cut! And since not all characters can answer truthfully (because they’re not sure yet, they’re afraid or in denial, don’t know the correct terms, etc), I’ll include their canon orientations in parentheses as well. = v =
Liese: “Uh straight, of course! What else could I be?! I’m a good person!”(heterosexual/biromantic)
Aamu: “Ace is the place, haha!”(Asexual/homoromantic)
Adelbrecht: “Hmph, why are you even asking? I have been happily married to my wife for 40 years. Should be obvious.”(heterosexual/heteroromantic)
Dahlia: “Oh I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it much. Cute people are cute, no matter what!”(undecided until I know her character better strong pan vibes tho)
Eleanora: “Pretty damn gay™. Not that it’s your business in the first place.”(homosexual/homoromantic)
Fifi: *loud bark*
Heather: “Um, I guess I like boys?”(undecided until I know her character better)
Jamie: “Straight, I guess. It’s not like I’m checking out hot dudes or anything.”(pansexual/heteroromantic)
Johan: “Straight, like every man should be.”(heterosexual/heteroromantic)
Karin: “Ugh, do I have any options, really? I mean, I’m most definitely not a filthy faggot, but I seriously have never been that interested in men, either… Didn’t really stop my father from arranging this shitty marriage deal for me, though.”(asexual/aromantic)
Michael: “Personally, I uh… I might, um, you know, I mean, I don’t think gender matters that much? But I really don’t want to talk about it.”(bisexual/biromantic)
Nicole: “Hm, who knows?”(undecided until I know her character better)
Niels: “Straight! I think? I’m… still figuring that out.”(like he said, he’s still figuring it out)

Spring Roll: *piercing glare*
Ursula: “Super gay for my wife! Hehe!”(homosexual/biromantic)
Valeria: “I… I… I’m… I know it’s okay, but I still don’t like saying it out loud. I don’t want anyone to know that I’m still not… ‘cured’.”(homosexual/homoromantic)
Vance: “Dude what the fuck? It’s not like I have time to think about this shit.”(bisexual/aromantic)
Verna: “I have only been with guys so far, but honestly? I don’t think gender matters at all!”(pansexual/panromantic)
Zacharias: “Ahaha, just a boring ol’ straight dude here.”(heterosexual/heteroromantic)
1. Say, have you been naughty or nice?- Now this is just silly. This is something you’re supposed to ask of children, as adults already know it’s never so black and white, right?
7. Are you getting anything to anyone?- Yes, I am getting something for my children and their families, and for my wife as well. I still haven’t heard back from everyone about what they want or need, but SIlvia asked for a certain book and I promised to get her that. Maybe a new necklace, too; she likes necklaces.
16. What do you absolutely dislike the most about the Christmas season?- The rush and commercialism. Call me old-fashioned, but I believe Christmas should be spent in peace with your family and loved ones. It’s not about who gets the best presents or whose house is the prettiest, hmph.

Adelene
11. Who will you spend the next Christmas with?- I know Father would like to have us, but I promised Mike we would visit his parents this year! It’s been a few years since we’ve done that, so I’m sure it’s going to be fun.
12. What would you like that your true love gave to you?- I don’t know, I don’t write long wishlists to Santa anymore, so I’m usually happy with whatever Mike comes up with! He’s really great at picking presents and usually knows/remembers what I want better than I do… He is the best Christmas present I could ever ask for! Yeah, sappy, I know.
19. Do you have any special Yuletide traditions?- Me and Mike? Not really, but some things I used to do with my family when I was little stuck with me till this day. Like uh, we exchange and open presents on Christmas Eve, not on Christmas Day. That’s more common in Europe, I think? Oh, and actually, I and Mike also have this homemade Advent Calendar we fill with small gifts every year - I do twelve slots and Mike does the other 12. Usually the gifts are just candy or bags of tea, or paper slips with funny quotes, et cetera, but it’s fun nonetheless!

Johan
6. What makes you feel the most independent during the Yuletide Season?- What does this even mean? Well, thinking about how I don’t have to spend time with my idiot family makes me feel pretty fucking independent I guess?
7. Are you getting anything to anyone?- Nah, I don’t think so. I don’t think they want me to participate in the traditional oh-so-wonderful family Christmas party anyway, so I’ll just spend Christmas alone. It might be nice to get something for Valeria, but she lives pretty far away and I don’t even know her address.

Priscilla
1. Say, have you been naughty or nice?- Hey, I am plenty nice! I guess it’s a little… subjective, though.
3. Your best Christmas memory.- Now, Christmas has never meant much to me. I mean, I was a typical rich kid; the only child of extremely wealthy parents who didn’t know what their child needed most of the time. I could ask for anything I wanted for Christmas and get it, so presents never were much of a catch for me. Once I grew up, I learned to appreciate some aspects of Christmas, of course, but there aren’t many that special memories especially tied to Christmas.
Something nice did happen very close to Christmas five years ago, though! I had been thinking about getting a kitten and contacted an acquaintance who is a breeder. She said she had just sold the last of her current litter and wouldn’t have new kittens for a year or so. A few days passed and she called me again, saying that one buyer had actually changed their mind, so she had a kitten for me after all! That’s how I got my Turkish Van, Spring Roll. She was so cute back then (and still is) and I was so happy to have her!
8. What do you absolutely like the most about the Christmas season?- All the lights and decorations that really light up the city and everyone’s houses! Even if Christmas isn’t a very important holiday to me personally, seeing all those beautiful lights always fills me with joy.
18. Would you join a Secret Santa jumble at your work place?- Well, sure if I actually had an actual “work place”. I currently work with three people in secret and don’t have much of a job outside of all that, so it wouldn’t be a very interesting Secret Santa, I think.
21. Winter night or winter day?- Dark winter nights are the best! Especially when all the Christmas lights are on, as I mentioned earlier.

Ursula
1. Say, have you been naughty or nice?- Umm, I’m pretty sure I’m on the nice list. At least I’m trying my best!
7. Are you getting anything to anyone?- Yeah, I’ll get something for my parents and a couple of friends, and of course I’m going to shower my wife with gifts too! I’m definitely getting her those shoes she had her eyes on last week, but I’m not sure what else to get, yet…
12. What would you like that your true love gave to you?- I just want to spend some quality time with her! Maybe we could go on a vacation, to some kind of a luxury spa or something. I have always wanted to go.
25. Jesus vs. Santa- Pff, what kind of a question is this? I’m going to have to go with Santa, though. He brings everyone presents, after all I’m sure Jesus is cool too, though.

Jamie
2. Wait, do you even LIKE Christmas?- Well I guess I do. Like, obviously it doesn’t feel as magical and miraculous anymore, but there’s nothing wrong with Christmas, so uh.
8. What do you absolutely like the most about the Christmas season?- I dunno, like, the food’s good? And somehow I kinda like seeing people run around with their errands and Christmas shopping. That kind of hustle is fun, especially when I don’t have to partake in it.
24. What do you want for Christmas this year?- A car! Like no kidding, Dad still hasn’t bought one for me. He lets me use his but it’s not the same! I want one that I can use whenever I want.
