### Amari and the Great Game

Lara was bullied and ghosted ever since Dylan and Maria were revealed to be magicians. Amari picked Lara as her partner. Together they secretly investigated the Congress Room time freeze.

Lara's fate is unknown at the end of the story.

## Physical description

Lara is a Caucasian girl, described to be tall like her father. It is assumed that Lara has blonde hair like her sister, Maria and blue eyes like her twin, Dylan. Amari finds her strikingly beautiful and graceful, saying "When Lara spins around, it’s like she’s posing for a photo or something. That girl is crazy pretty. Like, neverusedafilterinherlife pretty."

## Personality

Lara Van Helsing is fiercely competitive and always strives to succeed, as shown by her intense rivalry with Amari Peters and her refusal to admit to cheating in the third tryout. Despite this, it's also clear that she greatly values loyalty and family. She was very grateful to Amari for finding her sister and was willing to help Amari investigate a time freeze, despite their past rivalry. Lara also chose not to spy on Amari, despite being asked to multiple times, showing her integrity and respect for others' privacy.

Lara is also quite daring, shown when she snapped her sister's handcuffs. However, Lara's tendency to make things up for attention suggests that she is attention-seeking. Lara also appears to think less of merit kids. This attitude towards merit kids indicates that she may have a tendency towards elitism and exclusivity. She likely values connections and privilege over individual merit and hard work.

Despite these flaws, Lara's success in the third tryout suggests that she is quick-witted and intelligent. Overall, Lara's personality appears to be shaped by a mixture of competitiveness, loyalty to family and friends, perceptiveness, a desire for recognition, and a tendency towards elitism.

## Skills and Abilities

Lara's fitness became Super Athleticism when she touched the Crystal Ball, giving her inhuman strength and speed. However, she is still susceptible to sudden changes in direction by moving objects, shown when she is unable to catch Shadow.

## Notable relationships

### Parents

In Amari and the Night Brothers, Lara appeared to have a close relationship with her mother as she often went out with her mother. However, her relationship with her father, Director Van Helsing, was unclear. When Amari casted an illusion of Lara's greatest fear, it included Director Van Helsing berating Lara for failing the tryouts and being on the floor. This suggests that their relationship may have become strained after Lara failed to meet his expectations.

In Amari and the Great Game, Lara revealed she was not getting along with her parents. The reason for this is unknown but this is possibly due to Lara's failure in the tryouts and her refusal to spy on Amari. Her parents also put a lot of pressure on her to do well, as they had "disowned" Maria and Dylan after the two were outed to be magicians. However, after Maria's arrest, Lara reconciled with her parents, particularly her father, to obtain his teleporter. She used this transporter to help her investigate the time freeze and clear Maria's name. Lara also had to pretend to spy on Amari to gain her father's approval, and Director Van Helsing appeared to be proud of her for doing so.

### Dylan Van Helsing

Before Lara and Dylan joined the Bureau, they were not very close but seemed to get along well enough for Dylan to promise Lara he would be her partner. However, after Dylan discovered Amari was a magician, Dylan chose her as a partner instead. Later on when Lara was about to dump a bowl of spaghetti on Dylan's head, Amari threw it at Lara instead. This caused their relationship to become severely strained and they would frequently argue. What Lara didn't know was that Dylan lived in constant fear of being discovered a magician by her or their parents. When Lara found out about what he was and what he had done, she appeared to be deeply upset.

In Amari and the Great Game, after Dylan's escape from the Sightless Depths, Lara stated that Dylan was no longer her brother. This statement indicates that Lara is deeply hurt and disappointed by Dylan's actions, and she feels betrayed by him. Dylan later became the prime suspect in the time freeze investigation. Lara confided in Amari, saying she hated him for causing so much trouble.

### Amari Peters

Initially, Lara acted friendly towards Amari. However, this appeared to be an excuse for Lara to belittle Amari. Lara would go on to bully Amari incessantly and try to get her to leave the Bureau. Lara's motivation for this was to reduce the number of competitors in the upcoming second tryout. Lara also believed that Quinton, Amari's brother, was the cause of Lara's sister, Maria's disappearance. Lara's actions almost caused Amari to leave the Bureau on two occasions. However, their relationship took a positive turn at the end of "Amari and the Night Brothers" when Lara expressed gratitude towards Amari for locating her sister and acknowledged the tension between them.

Despite their rocky start, Lara and Amari eventually became friends. Lara assisted Amari in the time freeze investigation to clear Maria's name. Despite having bullied Amari in the past, she was willing to set that aside and do whatever it took to help her sister. This unwavering loyalty to her sister led her to associate with individuals she once mistreated, including Amari.

Lara remained steadfast in her loyalty to Amari, despite their former rivalry. Although Director Van Helsing asked her to spy on Amari multiple times, Lara refused to betray Amari's trust. Furthermore, Lara's trust in Amari never wavered, even when she saw Amari with Dylan after Dylan escaped from the Sightless Depths.

### Maria Van Helsing

> If we don’t stand up for our siblings, who will?

Lara had a strong sense of loyalty for Maria. According to Elsie, she always greatly admired her. This was especially clear in Amari and the Great Game, when Lara risked everything to clear her sister's name. To clear Maria's name, she associated with those she had once mistreated and was quick to defend Maria if anyone insulted her.
