Dream Job: Completely unsure, but probably something where she can bend the rules


Personality:

■ Devious - Ivanna's always had a knack for breaking the rules, especially when it comes to having more fun. She isn't afraid to pull a prank or a clever trick when it comes to achieving what she wants.
■ Driven - Once she sets her mind on a goal, she'll do whatever she can to achieve it and consider the consequences later.
■ Cunning - When it comes to her interactions with others, if the situation calls for it or if Ivanna feels that it can be used to her advantage, she has no qualms against manipulating and plotting.
■ Strategic - Ivanna is the type to plot to herself and consider all aspects of a problem, if she can.
■ Confident- Despite her strategic way of thinking, at times, Ivanna may impulsively speak her mind and veer towards being brutally honest, even if it can come off as mean from time to time... However, this also means that when it comes to her true friends, she will never lie to them.

Likes:

■ Surrounding herself in luxury and keeping updated on the latest fashions
■ Cold weather and thunderstorms
■ Spiders and tarantulas, really anything that's an arachnid... She finds them cute and loves learning about them.
■ Hallowe'en or anything related to Hallowe'en - it's her favorite holiday even when it's not in season
.
Playing pranks and occasionally challenging authority

Dislikes:

■ Being unable to figure something out
Anyone or anyone whose parents work for the Ministry of Magic
People who harm spiders or think badly of them
■ Hot weather - She finds the heat absolutely annoying and would much rather stay inside in the dark on extremely sunny days.
■ People who are overly happy or cheery, but only because she finds them extremely difficult to relate to


Hobbies:

■ Swimming in lakes in rivers, especially at night
■ Shopping and surrounding herself in luxury when she can
■ Studying acromantulas


Strengths:

Her ability to 'trick' her way out of certain situations and maintain secrecy if needed
A natural explorer, Ivanna has always had a knack for finding her way around dark corridors or forests

Weaknesses:

Blunt to a fault - Ivanna's brutal honesty and tendency to speak on impulse oftentimes means she might very easily end up saying something that may get her into trouble, or that she may come to regret.
Stubborn - Similar to her sense of independence, she has a hard time listening to voices of authority and others in general whenever she disagrees or simply wants to do something else.

Fears:

■ She is deeply afraid of failing to meet the expectations of her parents, and being unable to keep the blood pact they made her make to them shortly before they were both sent to Azkaban.
■ To put it simply, Dementors.


Patronus: None yet.
Happy Memory to Summon Patronus:
Maybe one will come to her in the future, or maybe not...

Apparition Status:

History:

Childhood: Ivanna hails from the wealthy Zhirov family, and is originally from Russia. Her family name is particularly prominent within Durmstrang Institute, the school that all of her family members had attended through the years. For Ivanna as well, that had always been the plan-- For her to attend Durmstrang, a plan that changed on the evening of her parent's arrest.

The wealth of the Zhirov family did not come without a price, that price being their connection to the criminal underworld of the dark arts. For many years within secrecy, the Zhirov's held illegal duels between dark witches and wizards, in the form of underground fighting circles within their family manor. The money of course came from the gambling aspect related to these duels, and the family had always been very selective on who they chose to invite to the duels.

Eventually, the Zhirov family was betrayed, and the secret of their crimes was revealed. Ivanna had only been a mere nine years old at the time this happened, her parents both now wanted criminals by the Ministry of Magic.

For the early stages of her life, her mother and father had done their best to instill the family ideals and expectations upon the young Ivanna. A Seer predicted the inevitable to Ivanna's parents-- That they would soon find themselves imprisoned within Azkaban. After receiving this news, viewing it as their only option, Ivanna's parents made Ivanna form a blood pact with them in the form of a promise to one day break them free.

Shortly after the blood pact was formed, a few days later when her parents and her fled the family manor in a last attempt to escape fate, it didn't take long for a party of Dementors to track them down.

After her parents were arrested and sent to Azkaban, Ivanna was taken by the Ministry of Magic and put into the care of her Aunt Alina. Her Aunt had always distanced herself from the rest of the Zhirkov's-- For it was she who had turned her own brother into the Ministry in the first place, after marrying someone who worked there. Ivanna holds an astounding amount of resentment towards her Aunt Alina for this betrayal, and hastily accepted the invitation to Hogwarts, not wanting to be anywhere near her Aunt.
