Mirka. The Captain. The solid rock supporting the whole team.
Maybe the best of friends I could ever have. The voice inside my head that tells me to calm the fuck down and just do it.
I wanted to save her to be last, because of her importance and the captain always comes on the ice last.
Born in former city of Kalinin (modern day Tver), she's 3/4 Russian and 1/4th Finnish Karelian. She does feel more at home in Finland, having lived in Lappeenranta for years before coming to Lapua with her family to join the team, ending up as the captain the second year. She radiates calmness and does keep everyone in check.
Her command of Finnish is near perfect, she worked her accent off but as they say, the younger you learn, the better you are. Nowadays she's married to Ivan Kuznetsov (honestly, it is a common last name) and has a son, Ruslan, who keeps her up at nights.
She chose to play bass, learning it from scratch for joining in the band and is rather decent with it. She mostly likes to play or tinker with electronics, her parents owning a repairs garage that she works in also. Mirka also does some paranormal investigations when not filming or animating in her little free time.
I wish I really had a friend like her, but I think she'll never really leave me either. At least I hope so.

Christina, the shy and insecure replacement for Minya, who hadn't been a very good skater ever, until Serafina, Anjeylica, Anastasia, Lucrezia and her old enemy, Frankie taught her to skate better and how to do quick moves on the ice to throw off the opponent. She did manage to fill in the skates left behind and rose to be trusted by the team.
Her sister Cat was the one who got all the guts while she grew up to be rather meek. She's grown a lot but has never shed the polite Canadian upbringing she had. Yes, she does apologize to tables and chairs if she bumps into them. No joke.
Big sister Catherine (Cat) Hannigan, a champion kickboxer

Valerie, the mohawk girl. She doesn't want to give up her black and white mohawk, no matter what. She's been rocking that for 10 years now. She did take off some of the piercings though, kinda shame, she looked good with them.
She's the third member of the AOO-line that spun webs around their poor opponents and eventually scored a goal, usually the handiwork of Anastasia, the fastest of the trio.
What she does currently, I don't know, probs still has greyhounds, she looks to be still fit as... well, an athlete. She's edgy and does what she wants, while others usually did what they could.
She likes to shock and maybe she is that part of my personality that never gets out. When you want to stand out, do it properly. I just don't have the guts for it, but she loves to make people look. At least thrice before they believe what they see. Gotta love the huge brass balls she has.
That is self-explanatory...

Eldest of the triplets, Dominika. Flexible and determined, she refuses to be stopped, no matter what.
The third goalkeeper with basically a slinky for a spine. She's always looking after her little sisters as well. Like Kriza, I dunno much about her, she's bit of a mystery as well. Also still wondering why she and Kriza went blonde, they seemed to like it very well in black or their usual combo, purple and silver. Hmm, should ask them.
Song... well, because Lambert, as she said it.

Xenia, a illegit child of a hockey star, whose gotten almost everything in her life, but still has a humble heart. She was replacing Frankie for a short while and like Sofia, never really left, proving herself to be a player of importance to the team.
She plays violin in her spare time and is an olympic level archer, one of Russia's best. Nowadays she mostly does archery and fashion designing, owning a shop called Russian Fashion in Selenia's Royal Mall with fellow artist (singer & designer Marina Kuznetsova) They both also do their own modeling for the store and they are almost best of friends despite the age difference.
Xenia is bubbly and easy to laugh, sometimes fumbles about and ends up hurting herself in different ways.
What a klutz.
Song is... well, it just fits her in some way, maybe it's the violin here.

The tough bitch. Slavy was the one to send guys flying, basically a bowling ball for a defender.
And rather intense metal fan at times. She's as hard as her music taste. She's usually redheaded, but her wife, a French designer thought she'd need a makeover and completely flipped her colors and she has stuck with it so far, so maybe this is her thing really. Though I kinda digged the red and black punk mohawk.
While some don't quite reflect myself, she's maybe my tough girl attitude that some said in junior high to be fake, but if I hadn't known that you will nearly always get caught from murder, she and many others would have been dead. Perhaps she's my violent side.
Slavy was taught how to play drums by Mirka and has developed her own style since. She's also rather decent singer, with her raspy and low, almost manly voice.
And she loves her motorcycle. Damn, should take a picture of her with it this summer. She sold her old one to help finance some new instruments for the band, and her new drums, so what did wife do? Buy her a new one.
Also, that isn't the most of piercings she's had on her face.
As a doll, I'm not entirely happy with her body, but the skintone is so one of a kind, a body swap is not an option, Asuka from WWE dolls was too yellow-ish and while she's just... white! So, plan for me at least, is to get Apoxie Sculpt to make some body modifications, mainly on her arms and legs, I can't make her fully articulated, I don't have the skills and balls for that, but at least I can make her arms and legs appear more accurate, since she and Mirka are the heavy built duo, who still pump iron, so skinny arms and legs are rather... unappealing. At least to me as a doll collector.
Her song is just ... well if you can get it translated, it's self-explanatory.

Minya, the accident prone Canadian. And also very stubborn. She had broken her leg with her scooter when she was 16 and before it had healed, broke it again, this time so bad it had to be amputated. Her right leg is an artificial one now.
She also hasn't skated since, which bums her out. At least she can now freely pursue her other career choice, opera singer. She's quite a soprano. Minya was the first line center and was the brains of the line Serafina-Minya-Leena hurricane of a lineup. They were the stun gun of the team, taking out the sharpest edge of the opposing team's attack.
She's been mostly in her hometown of Montreal since, but did move to Ottawa later.
Older of the Tenkrat twins, or simply put, Twins. Also the healthy one, minus depression when Sera was in hospital with cancer, clinging to life and she was falling apart with a surprise twin pregnancy.
The speedy first line defender turned to a mother of twins via being a professional guitarist in SnegDisastru before joining Dinner Date Selenia. Boy did she get a catch. She later married her date of choosing (in later episode of Don't Tell the Bride Selenia) and is now a mother of a baby girl. Minttu, Petr (Petteri) and Aino are now her brood in entirety and Kwan is just doting them all.
She's quite open and reliable, she won't turn you away from her door and is always willing to help a friend and lend an ear, when you need to vent. She loves hanging out with friends too or just at the dojang, improving her tae kwon do rank.
As a doll she's a bit tricky. She has stiff legs in a pose but at least jointed arms. Her doll model is Raquelle, so there is no MtM body possible and more posable dolls are hard to come by. She is also one of the unfortunate glue heads and while rerooting isn't hard, it's the rooted lashes that cause the trouble.
Song, well, the Twins are really close and the song hits close to home, they are each others' idols. Along with their dad.

Middle sister Kriza is the joker of the siblings, the class clown in a way, but not too over the top. Why she wanted to go blonde, I dunno.
She's younger of the identical twins, or at least the smaller of the two. She played as a forward, able to play right and left (most of the team were right-handed) and was one of the trustworthy players. Sometimes she got worked up too much and spent time in the penalty box, but she learned from her mistakes and cooled off.
As for song, catchy and she likes to dance.

The Japanese pocket rocket, Anabel, or Beru, how she was nicknamed by somebody, don't remember who.
She's the little brainiac, smallest of the team, but never the one you should underestimate.
Many bullied her in school in Finland because she was half Japanese and half Brazilian, though I believe it was mostly because even in my books, that is a nationality combo that creates the most gorgeous people, another being Japan/India combo. Wow. She's quite often defending those bullied and when she's not busy being a coder, she's making sure nobody is bullied.
Little sister Keiko
She never told me she had a little sister, but she does. Keiko is a young track athlete, just as skilled in sports as her sister and adorable. I swear, cute as a button.

Oh wow, super busy. Here's Hennida, who used to be pretty much the runt of the litter, the second smallest defender of the team .She's all grown up. And pretty.
She's youngest of the triplets and always a bit different from her sisters, who were identical twins. Shy and withdrawn, but with a slapshot hard enough to create serious damage, maybe her wiry frame enabled her to have slapshot from hell.
Hennida has always stayed distant to everyone, but nobody ever had anything bad to say about her. Who would, she was sweetest thing from the getgo.
The Hasek triplets, the twins have gone blonde instead of staying brunettes
As for the song, well, it seems to have been her fave since she heard it, so... Gotta like Enya's voice though.

Fast skater, beautiful and a good singer. I was pointed out my favorites tend to get more attention in face-ups and body transplants and I have to admit, true.
Ana is one of my favorite dolls I've put together, still not perfectly satisfied with this doll, due to the glue head syndrome, on which she is in a serious watch list and actually does have new hair set aside, just seeing how long can I postpone rerooting her.
She fell in love with a tattoo artist who moved next door and soon they were married, they actually were in the Selenia's version of Don't Tell the Bride some years back and she now has two children with Axel Williams, Max and Tamara, aka Tammy.
She's also the singer of SnegDisastru, a job that has build her with more confidence in herself since the cancer treatments. She was diagnosed with cancer when she was 15, but she is perfectly fine now.
That is a nice tan for someone so light, isn't it? She loves to swim and try new things but also enjoys just sitting home and sewing, when she's not on tour.

This is the quiet Czech, while the Twins are her polat opposites, they won't shut up! They do get along, she's a little piece of home, despite Kladno and Prague being far apart.
She was a defender, a solid presence who always did her best. She came in to fill in Mirka while she was on sick leave and never really left. I do love her reddish waves.
Jirka is kind and patient, almost shy even, unless she's doing things she good at, be it hockey, drums, slalom. She's big fan of winter sports and can often be spotted at events, skijumping, slalom, hockey.
She is maybe more like I was as a kid, shy and the silent observer, but I did get into trouble my fair share, I dunno about her, maybe, like me, she wants to bury them deep and in best case, forget. I'd love to.
One of her favorite songs is Kabat - Mala Dama, Czech heavy metal, but I chose Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl because it rings true, she did find unexpectedly love within the team, one of the Russians.

"Riina, for f*cks sake, take your meds!" "They ran out last week." "...Lord, save us..."
That was the typical to be heard with the team. Riina is the third goalkeeper in the team and has quite the case of ADHD, unable to stay still and she's just all over the place without her meds. Mirka, Frankie, Katrina and Lukrezia usually got pretty much grey hairs or a small mental breakdown when they had to deal with her longer than three hours off her meds.
She's maybe not the most responsible, but she's a sweet girl. She just doesn't have the ability to sit down and listen to your woes. At least not still. She's mostly doing physical stuff to keep her excess energy spent, but she's the epitome of restlessness.
Maybe she's like me, restless at times, unable to focus, I dunno, but she can be annoying to be around with.
Song, well, that could be her day at worst.

Katrina, daughter of the team's owners, eldest of three siblings, Niki and Nina. A goalkeeper and a mother hen, yeah, that's her in a nutshell.
She's actually at nursing school and will be a paramedic, but does some drum tech work to fund her studies.
Her mother Oksana Yelenka is the team owner and with her husband, rather wealthy sports equipment manufacturers, but she's the type who wants to make her own fortune, so to speak, so she rarely asks for anything from home. She does have her little sister living with her at the dorm at times, so she can learn English.
Her song, well, she's Ukrainan and a big fan of Ruslana, so...

"Blondie" or most likely the one to kick you in the face for it. "Mikke" is the classic Swedish-born blue-eyed blonde, but not overly patriotic, she doesn't really give a shite about the nationality and doesn't let it define her.
As a hockey player she was the "old reliable" despite being the youngest of the team. Not afraid to take the shot and block it, bruises fade.
She married rather young, at 20, but has been married to Japanese-born guitarist Takeshi Junko (Arai) for 7-ish years now and is a successful keyboardist, though she was rather shit before Kathleen took over in teaching her the ropes.
Mikayla looks sweet but as we all know, looks are so deceiving. She can serve your ass to you on a platter. I'd probably describe her as unpredictable because she doesn't say her thoughts aloud often, so when she does do something she's planned for a while, she surprises her friends.
The song? Well... This was her jam in teen years and Marie kinda looks like her. Honestly!

Zeta... Damn, what can I say. She and her twin brother were almost typical Americans, for half-black half-Native American. Lakota tribe descent, actually. Her heritage is a jumble of flags. Let's just go with that.
She's the resident rapper and a motor mouth, with pretty similar to her mother by personality.
She was the body blocker of the team, always covered in bruises for blocking shots, but somebody has to do it, you know!
She's just recently come to Selenia, even though most of the band she now works with is already in there, but she's bit of a... well, likes to do things her own way. Let's just say it like that.
Zeyeta has lived in Sioux Falls for 7 years, then in Chicago until 12, then back until two years ago or so. She's not that close with anybody else in her family, except her mother Diantha and her twin, Acen. Who is never around. Traveling the world.

Another former player turned model and I'm so jealous of that hair (actually color changes from heat).
Maarit is a patient being who loves to hang out outside, or wherever you want company to.
She's a bit more private person, despite being a model, but who knows what goes on in a person's mind unless they don't stop talking and foaming at the mouth about their things (I'm looking at the orange turd across the Atlantic)
In the team, she was a decent player, the type you could send out in any situation, she kept her cool and stayed rational. With Maria and Xenia, they were the workers, who didn't score so often, but made sure nobody scored behind their goalie while they were on ice.
Song choice for her just seemed to fit and it's not the hair, I swear. It just screams her to me, even if she doesn't always open up to people and talk.

Oh wow, Sera's best friend and almost literal partner in crime. Leena and she were usually called collectively instead of terrible twosome as Serlena. They were best friends from Day 1. Another one person riot.
She's smart, surprisingly smart actually, she's an electrical engineer, mostly doing her other profession nowadays, light tech for the band.
She was the other winger as Serafina was the other, so they were wreaking havoc in the first minute of two of the game. She's tiny, but that wasn't gonna stop her. And it didn't.
She's usually bunking with Sera, when her bf isn't home and since her twin has moved out, so their neighbors (including former teammate Anastasia a floor below) usually have to listen a whole lot of Guitar Hero and laughter.
Leena is from a whole different area than me and so, I don't know of how different her personality is from that of an average Finnish girl from Tampere region. That's where she grew up. Her father died when she was young, of hereditary illness, that she oddly enough, didn't inherit. I'm guessing mom has some explaining to do from the 90's...
Choice of songs... Well, she's hilarious and unpredictable, I was even thinking of Joker's Song from Miracle of Sound, but Mind of the Bat sounds something she's singing or humming while rewiring something. I just know she would.

Maria from Oulu, one of the newer additions to the team, but quickly took her place and proved Oulu really is a hockey city.
She's not bad of a singer either, studying Sámi dialects (Finnish indigenous people) and doing some modeling on the side. She continued hockey 5 years after the team's demise, having actually the longest track record of games out of the whole team as it was 10 years ago.
Her doll, as well as Serafina's, isn't mine, but the character is and I think the doll is gorgeous. I totally see Maria with grown out hair and slimmer figure when I look at her, but still with that no-bullshit attitude. I think. I don't know what others see when looking at her.
If I absolutely have to give her a personality trait I have, I think she's part of my old dreams. Runway model (before instead of growing up, I grew wide) and studying languages. Who knows where she'll be going in her life. She's scoring gigs as a photoshoot model every now and then in Selenia, so that is a start.
Song for her is one of my faves as well and I can totally see her dancing to it.

Olga, one of the three original Russians in the team and has lived in Finland the second longest of all the foreigners, only Mirka has lived longer, then Sera and Anje.
Always thin and lithe, her career suffered from her depression and eating disorder, but life is going better for her, she's more focused on her violin playing and psychology studies, that she came to finish in Selenia University.
Olga is one of the more enigmatic characters and I don't know much of her, but she's a kind and quiet, the silent observer who always knows more than people think. That's partial what type of person I am. Nobody expects me to have actually listened (nowadays I really don't listen, if I really have things to do and focus on)
She's Russian, but not really proud of it, she's bit of a wall flower, rather, though in the rink, she was in the second attack line (AOO line) with her best friend Anastasia and Valerie.
Shoulder to cry on? She's the one. No matter if you call her in the middle of the night and need to rant, she'll just make a cuppa and sit down to listen. She may not be able to help, but at least you can unwind.
Song choice is her fave artist and song, I agree, a good one.

My best friend, Serafina, one person riot and the wild child. She was one of the first to be made into dolls, in first 5 I think, not actually sure.
Out of all of them, her lookalike doll is actually second that is not really my doll, but belongs to JS. She gave her Sera's adult signature look, the Cloud Strife -hairstyle and I added tattoos, none of them sadly visible with these pics and clothes.
Her doll is still not perfect, because she is usually completely make-up free and doesn't really wear big earrings, but I'm not permitted to change her looks other than the tattoos and clothing. I'm guessing somebody dolled her up.
Sera is younger of the half-Czech half-Finnish twins, she was always the smaller one, but that made her a fast skater. She's also rather restless and since they were taught how to skate at the age of 5, she's been on ice and since the age of 10, playing guitar.
As of today, it's 6 days to her and Anje's 28th birthday, by today she has been the hockey star and co-captain of the team, 10 years as a professional guitarist in a band (about 10, who's counting?) and 6 years free of the cancer that nearly claimed her life.
She's the type of friend I never had, a hilarious personality, who likes the same things as I, trampoline, good music, skating, imitating, movies and cosplaying.
She's maybe part of my tomboy side, not too fond of dresses and pink. She's supposed to be rather small, like me, but dolls being what they are, she's actually just about as tall as most.

Frankie Melissa Montoya. Quite a curve ball she threw at me. I always thought she was Caucasian, but turns out she has also Asian roots. That was surprising.
These things with dolls do actually just happen, you don't necessarily know who the doll is right away in the store or even when you've gotten them out of the box. She's one of them. She apparently likes flashy make-up, just to make a point.
Frankie is one of them who has more backstory than others, it all depends on what they want to share with me later. Her house burnt down when her little sister was a tot and they got separated when her parents thought she was dead, while she simply hitched a ride out of town over an argument with a former hockey team friend. She lived in Montreal for years before joining her friends to come to a new team formed in Finland as an equipment testing team.
Her parents and sister later found her when the team began gathering notoriety and she was reunited with them until their parents were shot as a result of a robbery gone wrong. Her sister took the bullet for her big sister, which brought them even closer.
She's rather open to new things and sometimes has admitted acting before thinking.
Little sister Marie Felicia, newly graduated pharmacist
Frankie was a agile skater and decent handed, so she did have a share of the team's total of goals ever made. She is one of my favorites and dearest friends, maybe because of Canadian kindness and slightly mischevious behavior.
She shares my passion for hockey, metal music and now sadly gone Atlanta Thrashers. She is not overly patriotic, as am not I either, but she'd still be one of those tourists from Canada covered in Canadian flags.
Frankie was bummed out her best friend Minya was injured in a scooter accident that ended her career (more of her later) and was even more hostile when she was replaced with Christina "Bolt" Hannigan, who she had a quarrel with, back in Vancouver. She probably wanted to smack her into next week with her skateboard.
Well, that dispute is over and she's now married to Christina, so maybe the Finnish saying Rakkaudesta se hevonenkin potkii wasn't all bullshit. (Even a horse kicks from love). I can feel her glaring at me right now XD Yes, even a doll can look at you funny. And no, I'm not crazy. I hope.
The song, well, I thought of Mya's All About The Money, which she has liked to sing for years, but she chose this. I have to admit, I approve of this choice as well.
What she represents? Maybe all the things I wanted to do as a kid. Skateboard, be outgoing (I was the shyest kid you'd find, unless you got to know me and I turned out to be a total weirdo)
She's the type to try out new things, something I don't like to do, because they usually ended badly for me, so maybe she's also that. My courage to do things.

Sandra, the tiny pocket rocket from Sweden. As a defender, she was pesky and like a tiny terrier dangling from your ankle. She went for modeling and can't blame her, piercings make her look even more exotic.
She is one of those who just grows on you, with her happy-go-lucky attitude, yet still, a level head.
As for what she represents in me, I don't know, she's one of those more independent characters who just appeared, exotic and vibrant, a complete opposite of what Finns usually are.
She kept on with sports as well when the team quit, after playing in another girls' team for two more seasons. She became an aerobics and later, zumba and yoga instructor, so that is a testament to her wish to keep on moving. Who knows what all other things she does, I wouldn't be surprised to see her in the Bollywood dance classes, or pulling some Arabic dancing classes herself.
Her motto actually is Dance like nobody's watching. A bit of solid advice, not everyone can follow it though.
Song for her was a no-brainer.
