Synopses:

Blood of My Monster: 4/5 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’m out for revenge. He’s out to rule the world. Kirill and I are as different as day and night. We shouldn’t have been in the same frame or universe. But we meet under the strangest circumstances. He’s my superior in the military and the man who’ll introduce me to carnage. His charm and exterior perfection shouldn’t have tempted me. Behind the smokescreen lurks a manipulative emotionless monster. And that monster might find out all my secrets, including the reason why I’m pretending to be a man. He might also lure me to the point of no return.

Lies of My Monster: 3.5/5 🌟🌟🌟💫

In our brutal world, there’s no such thing as the truth. Lies overflow until they become a reality. But I’m determined to uncover what happened to my family. One problem, though. My monster, Kirill. We are not the same anymore. It’s become hard to trust one another. But it’s downright impossible to stay away from each other. It’s mad, chaotic, and wrong, but it’s us. And we might have to pay for it with blood.

Heart of My Monster: 3.5/5 🌟🌟🌟💫

I’m a man with no morals or feelings. The only reason I made it this far is to reign. Nothing and no one will stop me. Or that should’ve been the plan. Now, my only goal is to get back the woman who belongs to me. Sasha thinks it’s all over, but we’re only getting started. She’s my woman. My partner. My wife. Mine.

Review:

TW//: murder, attempted rape, harassment, and other dark themes.

Well, well, well! Look at that! There are still some Rina books that I’ll actually enjoy!

I’m of the opinion that Rina should abandon the RES world (after eliava), and stick to writing dark mafia romances. As they are far better and more believable than the contemporary(ish) others. By this, I mean it’s far more believable why mafia men are overly possessive and close-minded than rich spoiled assholes. I really enjoyed this trilogy. The first book is my favorite, it was a good start for the series, and set a good tone and pace to follow.

For a dark romance that didn’t advertise itself as a grand love story, nor did its characters express some bizarre romantic feelings after a single encounter. In actuality, both main characters at numerous points in the first book admit that they are attracted to one another; however, they are definitely not “in love” and I quite liked this, as many dark romance these days advertise being grand romances when there’s literally nothing romantic about them. Despite this, both Sasha and Kirill were very affectionate--in their own twisted ways--towards each other.

As I read these books while they were being released, I really hated the cliffhanger at the end of the first book. It rather felt very jarring and disconnected than a suspenseful ending to a complete mini-arc.

The second book was much shorter than the first. It didn’t digress nor linger on side plots. It was very quick and to the point. I quite loved that as well. The ending left me seething and wishing a grewsome, lonesome death upon Kirill. As I considered him the devil incarnate for “the evil plan” he pulled against poor Sasha.

The finale was much like the second book; being very concise and precise. It managed to answer all the questions book one and two posed and tied the series with a pretty blood-red ribbon bow.

I would venture to say that this is probably Rina’s most consistent trilogy. There were no major highs followed by abysmal lows, just a good steady flow of plot!

Definitely recommend it for readers looking for a darker Mulan-esque romance.

˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗ THE FILMOGRAPHY OF … ANNA NIKOLAEVNA !

Anna Nikolaevna as Sasha Pavlova in Love and Hope (2017)

Izumi Hikari, known professionally in the Western world as Anna Nikolaevna, is one of Japan’s most beloved actresses, renowned for her incredibly emotional portrayals. Although she saw widespread recognition as an actress in 2012 and 2013, with her earlier defining roles being in the Japanese film Rainbow Girl (her most popular role in the country) and in the Korean drama Sunny (which sparked comparisons between her and Bae Suzy), Anna’s popularity was mainly confined to Asia up until 2014–2015. Most notably, her role in the Australian film The Outsiders spearheaded her journey to international acclaim.

However, it was her role in 2017’s Love and Hope that turned Anna into a serious actress. The film tells the story of Sasha Pavlova, a Russian girl who moves to the United States in the early nineties. It deals with Sasha’s struggles with depersonalization and bipolar disorder, and her journey to adapt to her new home.

Love and Hope was undoubtedly Anna’s true breakthrough, cementing her as an emotionally driven actress. Sasha’s monologue in the film would end up going viral on platforms such as Twitter, and the scene not only surprised the general public, but had Anna’s fans calling for an Academy Award nomination. She would receive that and more, thankfully, with her role as Sasha garnering her a Golden Globe, a BAFTA Award, and Best Actress nominations at the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards and of course, the Academy Awards.

Here is Aria's grandmother from her mother's side of the family. Meet Hazel Montgomery. She is referred to as "Grandmother Hazel" in order to tell her apart from Evelyn. The picture above shows what she looked like back when she was in her early forties.

Spouse: Richard Montgomery (husband)

Children:

Katherine Campbell (née Montgomery) (daughter)

Scarlett Campbell (née Montgomery) (daughter)

Esme Montgomery (daughter)

Gordon Montgomery (son)

Oliver Campbell (née Montgomery) (son)

James Montgomery (son)

Grandchildren:

Ethan Campbell (grandson)

George Campbell (grandson)

Aria Montgomery (granddaughter)

Irvin Montgomery (grandson)

Josephine Campbell (granddaughter)

Mia Campbell (granddaughter)

Logan Campbell (grandson)

Freya Montgomery (granddaughter)

Other relatives:

Thomas Campbell (son-in-law)

Owen Campbell (son-in-law)

Roy Montgomery (née Campbell) (son-in-law)

Isla Montgomery (née Campbell (daughter-in-law)

Yvette Campbell (daughter-in-law)

Heather Montgomery (née Campbell) (daughter-in-law)

Jonas Montgomery (née Olson) (grandson-in-law, deceased)

Interesting facts about Hazel:

Hazel's name is of English orgin, meaning "hazelnut tree". It is also a term for a greenish-brown color found in eyes, which is rather ironic, considering that Hazel's eyes aren't, well, hazel.

Hazel, her husband, Evelyn, and Finn all went to Edinburgh Secondary School together when they were all teens. They were in different classrooms, however. Hazel and her husband were the only two to be members of a club back then. Hazel was a member of the Cooking Club while her husband was a member of the Newspaper Club.

Before she retired, Hazel used to be an employee at Ivanov Corp., the powerful tech company that Sasha Ivanova's father is the owner of. Because of all of her years of hard work, Hazel saved up enough money to spoil her grandchildren once she became a grandmother.

Hazel is a cat person. She and her husband used to have two cats while their kids were growing up. One was an orange tabby cat named Mango while the other was a tuxedo cat named Stella. Sadly, her two cats aren't around anymore as they passed away, but Hazel still has fond memories about them and misses them like crazy.

The only time that Hazel will speak Scottish Gaelic is when she speaks with Evelyn on the phone. The two love to share any clishmaclaver (Scottish word for gossip) that they've heard. But for the most part, Hazel speaks English and will translate what Evelyn says for those who don't understand Scottish Gaelic.

Whenever one of her grandchildren brings over someone that is the opposite gender of them, Hazel has a habit of gushing over this. And she will ask said grandchild if the guest is their boyfriend/girlfriend. This causes her grandchildren to get really flustered at this.

Down below are what her two cats, Mango and Stella, used to look like:

so whenever Russian characters crop up in American/English-speaking media theres a very noticable thing where writers v often dont understand patronymics and full names.

Now, there’s two gradations of “full name” that are in use here. There is the “FIO” full name, or SGP perhaps (surname, given name, patronymic), and there is the full given name.

As an example, let’s take Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich.

Ivanov is the surname. You can tell bc of hte -ov suffix at the end. (Not the only one possible but a pretty decent indication something is a surname when it is there)

Ivan is the given name. You can tell bc Russian has a set (an expansive one) of given names and this is one of them, one of the most historically popular at that.

Ivanovich is the patronymic, it can be translated as “son of Ivan”. You can tell bc of the “ovich” suffix. There is also “evich” and for at least one name just “ich”. Colloquially they will also get shortened into just “ych” making the variation “Ivanych”. (”Y” is the letter used for transliteration of a sound that doesn’t exist in English but is considered fairly close to “i’)

To be clear, “Ivanov Ivan Ivanych” is the exact same person as “Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich”, this is hte exact same name, the only thing that changes is how formal the speaker is being about it.

Female suffixes are “evna” and “ovna”. Anna Petrovna, Anna Fadeevna. There is also “ichna” for at least one name and an antiquated “ishna” which is the colloquial alternative in some cases. Anna Fadeevna = Anna Fadeishna. This IS antiquated tho.

Coming back to our Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, this is the “FIO” form of his name, the way it will be put on formal documents that require one’s full name. The “Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov” form is also acceptable, its just not the order you write on documents in. The patronymic (Ivanovich) always comes after the full given name (Ivan), the surname can be stuck on either side of that.

The traditional respectful address to someone you know is the full given name + patronymic. Ivan Ivanovich! Could you come over here? It’s used with plural/formal “you”. This form is also becoming obsolete in recent years but if you’re writing mid-20th-century or characters of middle age+ Ivan Ivanovich is the name to go.

(Note the difference from the address + surname form in English: Dr. Smith or Mr Smith etc. In Russian this form does not exist except several centuries back or in very very impersonal century back “citizen Ivanov” that like a policeman would use to address you. Not anyone you actually know personally. Schoolchildren will often not know their teachers’ surnames because they are all Ivan Ivanovich to them.)

Now I keep saying “Ivan” is the FULL given name. The short given name from “Ivan” is “Vanya”. This is a set linguistic fact - the set of given names in Russian is factually two linked sets, a set of full given names and a set of short given names. Some short given names can be short from several full given names, some full given names can have several short names (a person will usually pick one to use). A short given name doesn’t go anywhere on formal documents. It just follows from your full given name naturally, like conjugation. Some full given names (Gleb, Oleg, Diana, Vera) are short enough to be used as short given names too and so don’t realy have assigned short counterparts. In fact Vera can be both a full name on its own - Ivanova Vera Ivanovna - and short for Veronica - Ivanova Veronica Ivanovna.

Short names are formed through a variety of rules. There are basic requirements for the form they take as a result though. Full given names can have “complicated” consonant pairs together: Dmitriy, Aleksandr, Pavla, Anna. Short names are “simple” will almost always go consonant-vowel. Dmitriy -> Dima, Aleksandr -> Sasha, Alik or Shura (don’t ask how that last one happened, it’s a miracle of absurdity, but it’s one of the traditional shortenings), Pavla -> Pasha (well, Pavla is a rare name, you hear Pasha and you usually assume Pavel, the male name), Anna -> Anya. (”y” is not a consonant here, “ya” is a vowel sound English doesnt really have)

(As an exception to the consonant-vowel rule, when there’s a consonant pair the second of which is “l” it’s usually kept together in the short name - it’s just very simple to the Russian ear / tongue. Vladislav - Vlad or Slava, for example)

Often a name will be formed fully from the syllables / consonants of the full name, give or take changing the last vowel to the gender neutral “a”/”ya” (It will either be “a”/”ya” or a consonant). Vladimir -> Vlad, Ruslana -> Lana, Tatiana -> Tanya, Anna -> Anya, Katerina -> Katya, Dmitriy -> Dima or Mitya, Ivan -> Vanya. And then there’s the “sha” suffix tacked on as the second syllable: Pavel -> Pasha, Natalia -> Natasha or Tasha, Daria -> Dasha, Aleksandr -> Sasha, etc.

So long as they conform to these rules, you can kind of make them up. Though considering the whole of history, you’re not super likely to make up something that hasn’t been made up before you. Anna historically speaking turns into Anya, Nyura, Nyusha... -shudders-

So how are short names actually used?

As an implication of familiarity/subordination, that’s how. For the weebs in the audience, you know the ‘-chan’ suffix in Japanese? Kind of exactly like that. Japanese has more nuances, but generally if you wouldn’t call someone -chan, you shouldn’t call them by their short name. (Unless they specifically asked you to, but I think that’s a thing in Japanese too)

Short names are never paired with patronymics. The steps of formality in address are basically “Ivan Ivanovich” => “Ivan” => “Vanya”.

(There’s also formal you, so to be completely clear: “Ivan Ivanovich” (formal you) => “Ivan” (formal you) => “Vanya” (formal you) => “Vanya” (informal you). If someone is getting called their full given name + informal you, it’s either implying antiquity - pre 20th century - or they’re using their full given name as their short given name.)

You call your children and siblings by short names. You call your friends by short names. You MIGHT call your employees, especially if they are sufficiently young, or if you’ve known them for a long time and the “familiarity” part applies, by short names.

SHORT NAMES ARE NOT FORMAL. This is important. Nobody has “Natasha” written in their passport (unless I guess they were making new documents in America or something from scratch and didn’t use any old ones as basis of establishing idenity so could make up whatever. It’s still weird! It’s like having “Johnny-boy” written in your passport!)

SHORT NAMES ARE OFTEN GENDERED BUT YOU CANNOT TELL HOW WITHOUT KNOWING THE CORRESPONDING FULL NAME. “Pasha” and “Misha” are both male names becaus they are short from “Pavel” and “Mikhail”. Of course you could have a Pavla or a Mikhaila, but the former is very rare and the latter is probably a foreign Mykaila Russianified or something. In these cases it’s usually considered normal to assume gender, even if there’s a tiny chance you could be wrong.

PATRONYMICS ARE NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INTERCHANGEABLE WITH SURNAMES. You have the same surname as your family members, but if you have the same patronymic, either you’re siblings or there are multiple people with the same given name in your immediate family, which is slightly odd. A patronymic is formed from your father’s name by unambiguous and definite rules. Foreign names can be turned into patronymics easily. (Though kids of foreign citizens can get whatever their parents want on their birth certificate - patronymic by the rules of one of the parents’ home country, no patronymic at all, whatever) Surnames are surnames and work the same way they work anywhere else.

PATRONYMICS AND SURNAMES ARE NOT CONNECTED IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. Any surname goes with any patronymic same as it goes with any given name. Except for the obvoius “statistically likely to be from the same culture” part. (Your “Russian” character could have Georgian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Lithuanian, Bielorussian, Kazakh, Tatar descent, descent from any number of indigenous cultures on the territory of Russia that I personally never heard about until I started translating documents in high amounts and stumbling upon them. Russia is an empire!) But even that’s just statistics - you could have a Tsukino Farha Bogdanovna and I’d just go “that’s a fascinating family history right there��.

GOOGLE RUSSIAN GIVEN NAMES, DON’T MAKE THEM UP. And pay attention if something is marked as “diminutive” - that means it’s a short name, and it will not be used on formal documents or in conjunction with a patronymic. Go for the name it’s diminutive for and just have the character ask everyone to use their short name if you want - it’s trendy these days.

There’s all kinds of fuckery going on with name use on the margins - some old people will call their close friends the “patronymic + informal you” construction. (Actually it’s a “Russian babushka” stereotype that actually exists within the culture. And if anyone ever uses the “short name + patronymic” form irl it’s this category of people, though I’d imagine only in third person) Some bosses or even teachers will invite their students to call them by their short name (I am so deeply uncomfortable with this). Age is often the difference between a Vanya and an Ivan Ivanovich in the same situation.

All patronymics and a good share of surnames conjugate by gender! “Ivanov” and “Ivanova” are the exact same surname, but a guy will have the former writen in their documents and a gal would have the latter. If you legally change your gender that letter changes too. (No, there’s no gender neutral form. Some surnames, like those ending in -enko, just don’t do this, but those that do are at all times one or the other) I guess expatriates a couple of generations down could have whatever going on, but if you have an actually-born-in-Russia “Ivanova Ivan Ivanovna” that means “Ivan” is a girl with a male name for some fucking reason. Name gendering is just tradition, patronymic gendering is grammar. (And if you have an “Ivanova Ivan Ivanovich” that’s just someone making a typo) (Maybe our hypothetical Ivanova Ivan Ivanovna transitioned and liked her birth name so much, she decided to not even go for Ivanna or something else plausible, Ivan or bust. Officials would probably just shrug and go with it lmao)

Oh, and in less formal lists and situations, surname + short given name is a classical combination. When I call my grandboss, surname + short given name is how I introduce myself, because I’m much younger and much subordinate so short name it is, but she’s under no obligation to identify me from my given name so surname it is. (To people who I expect to remember my name but who weren’t expecting me to call, just surname is good, but to people who can connect my surname with my identity but probably don’t remember my given name immediately & exactly from that, giving also the form of given name they address me by is the reasonable person thing to do)

If I were introducing myself in the “Hi! I’m Tsukino Usagi!” anime intro format, I’d go for “Short given name + surname”. Short name is usually the one people think of as their personal identity as it’s whatt their close circle will have been calling them for their entire life, and ACTUALLY it’s normal for the surname to come after the given name. In a book citation of “famous doctor X did Y” they will probably be “famous doctor fullgivenname-patronymic-surname”. For a Russian speaker, switching between Japanese name order and English name order is not a difficulty, but we WILL be distressed by not being able to tell which is which and therefore which it is on sight )=

MARVEL COMICS WALL OF SHAME

- Natasha Alianovna Romanova. First, “Romanov” is not a common surname, it’s the surname of the royal family, it’s like a random English guy being called “Tudor”. Well, it’s plausible, it IS formed by the classic “common given name + -ov” rule, but Roman isn’t even that common a name (and not exactly Russian), and... well. It’s just weird. I don’t think there’s good chances for it to have come into existence as such historically WHEN IT WAS THE RULING FAMILY SURNAME. Second! Natasha is a short name! She should be Natalia/Natalya! Third... I mean I will not say Alian is not an existing male name, and I won’t even say it’s not used in any cultures that exist within Russia, but if they were aiming for “common Russian male name” they missed 180 degrees.

- Ilyana Rasputin. First, -in is a suffix that makes this surname adjective-ish, meaning it conjugates by gender, meaning she is RASPUTINA. Her brother is Rasputin. She is Rasputina. Second, again, I have heard of exactly one (1) guy with this surname, and it’s the same guy you’re thinking of right now. It is in no way, shape or form common, or reasonable to give to a character without making it a plot point. Third, Ilyana is not a Russian name that exists. Ilya is a male name, but there’s no female form. FOURTH, I distinctly remember reading a comic where she was calling her brothers “Piotr” and “Mikhail”. That’s their full names! I mean bonus points for actually finding the full names this time, but it’s extremely weird for their LITTLE SIBLING to use them! They should be Petya and Misha as far as her own speech is concerned!

P.S. “All Night Laundry” is a fantastic webcomic, but “Grandimir” is not a real name, “Grand” is not a Russian word root and will not be used in a name this way, you’re looking for “Velimir” or somethng (though that’s, like, a thousand years antiquated). Also while both the uncle and the nephew having the “Petrovich” patronymic is not that odd, Petr is not THAT rare a name and maybe their brother/father was Petr Petrovich... considering we never learn their surname, I seriously suspect the writer just confused a patronymic with a surname. Also, naming their dog the same name crosses the line into slightly weird. Who names a dog after their father? This is actually what prompted this...

Talking about my love for my OC with @xxqueenofdragonsxx. This is my Zahira as best as I can make her, though someone awesome may be drawing me some amazing fan art of her so fingers crossed.

ZAHIRA ZELENA ZACARIAS (ZEE):

Magizoologist, works for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures for the Ministry of Magic.

Born 9th April, 1964 to parents Michael Ivanovich (Misha) Zacarias and Magnolia Jackson Zacarias. Misha, a Muggleborn Russian Auror who is following the trail of a dark wizard and finds himself in Paris where he meets the American witch Magnolia Jackson. They fall in love and get married and Magnolia moves to Moscow to be with him and then when Zee is six, her mother is killed.

I think that it was a gruesome death, a curse that tortured her for days before she finally succumbed to her death. They were living in Russia at the time and Zee was with her Baba and Deda, as she was only six, and her mother had gone into town to do some shopping. The dark wizard was stalking her and cursed her. She was left alone in an alley to die and wasn’t found for almost six hours, by then, the curse had taken over too much of her and any attempt at saving her life was impossible. She’d lost her mind and Zee was never able to say goodbye. Magnolia didn’t even recognize Misha when he found her which was part of why it hurt Misha so much to lose her in the end.

Misha meets Sorcha Brown when Zee is eight, a freelance journalist from Scotland. Zee grew up travelling between Scotland and Moscow and she always loved animals. She spent her summers visiting her American grandparents on their ranch in Toccoa, Georgia where her grandmother owns a 50s diner called Flo’s and her grandfather is chief of police. Her stepmother is the mother she grew up with. Mama, seeing Zee’s love for animals always allowed her to bring home strays. Her father continued to work in Russia, travelling back and forth via international portkey every day when they spent time in Scotland. And when it came time for her to go to school, they decided to send her to the wizarding school in Russia — the Koldovstoretz School of Magic because it had such an amazing Care of Magical Creatures program. She speaks fluent French, Russian, and Mermish because of her upbringing and her career and a little bit of Greek.

She has 4 tattoos:

Gold and green tribal elephant on right side of ribs

Red and gold dragon across spine

Black niffler on back of her neck

Zee tattoo over scar - deep green vines with bright blue orchids scattered from the top of her left hip down the side of her thigh, wrapping around her knee, Lady Godiva hidden in the vines covering her scar lying on a bed of blue orchids ending at her ankle. I AM WOMAN written on one side, HEAR ME ROAR, written on the other.

Zee found him napping on the sofa and she smiled at the sight of him, bending to kiss his forehead. Her curls tickled his face, a small smile on his lips. Not wanting to disturb him, she hurried upstairs to pack the rest of her bag. She changed into a short halter dress over her new bikini and was admiring her calf in the mirror when he came in.

His eyes met hers in the mirror and the look in them sent desire raking through her.

“When did you get home?”

“Maybe fifteen minutes ago? You looked so peaceful having your nap.”

“I was resting my eyes,” he said, making her grin.

“Right.”

Sirius moved towards her, his eyes trailing down her body. “You look fucking gorgeous.” His gaze stopped on her leg, a brow rising. “You got a new tat?”

Zee held onto his arm as he picked up her leg to examine the new tattoo. She had gotten Lady Godiva. She’d done her panther’s sleek form in a dark black outline but other than her golden eyes, she’d coloured the panther in with flowered camouflage. Purple perennials and pink tulips, red roses and blue lilacs that brightened her leg and covered every inch of the ugly burn scar to the back of her knee. Deep green vines and leaves surrounded the outline of the panther, framing the words written down either side of the panther in cursive: I Am Woman and on the other side it continued with: Hear Me Roar.

“Fuck, that’s sexy,” Sirius murmured, his fingertips tracing the words.

“Yeah?” Zee said. “I didn’t want to look at my burn anymore so I wanted to cover it with something beautiful.”

“And the Reddy lyrics?”

She grinned. “Points to you.”

Sirius let go of her leg and bent his head to kiss her. “I love it. But you were sexy with the scar too.”

Zee slipped her arms around his neck. “And that, Mr Black, is one of the many reasons why I love you.”

Sirius slid his hands up her back into her hair. “Let’s go shag on the beach.”

She laughed as he let her go and picked up their bags. “Sounds perfect.”

As he walked out the door, she couldn’t help but think that she had never loved anyone more than the man before her. She didn’t know what the future held for her, but she did know that her future was nothing without Sirius Black and Harry Potter. (Excerpt from A Second Chance, chapter 213)

Zee’s wand was made by Gregorvich and it is chestnut as the wood meshes with her love of animals, I think it’s short like her, only 15 cm in length and her core is from a coral reef. Her wand core gives the owner patience, someone with a coral reef core knows how to bring things to fruition, provide protection for all, as well as generate longevity. They have a knack for deflecting disaster, whatever form it takes. They are also loving, nurturing, and healing; are a source of enduring friendship and support and often the glue that holds the ship together. I thought it sounded very much like Zee.

She stands no taller than 156 cm (roughly 5′1 and 3/4) and often wears 4 inch heels as if she was born in them, preferably her heeled cowboy boots. She has long dark brown hair with golden caramel highlights mixed through it. Her grandmother on her mum’s side was African-American so her skin is like a caramel toffee. She loves bright red lipstick and big earrings. She wears a white gold and turquoise turtle belly button ring and usually has smaller hoops or studs in her ears above the big hoops. As shown above and mentioned before, she is very curvy, hourglass and I picture her body type like Jaydah Doll, but her face is the gorgeous model at the top (I saw her and thought Zee).

Her pet is a panther named Lady Godiva. She rescued her from Muggles who were hunting her and her pack in Kenya. Her parents were killed and she was the only cub that she could find so she nurtured her and kept her safe. Why Godiva?

“I always admired her bravery; standing up for what she wanted and doing the only thing that she could do at the time to make her stand. No one would listen to her and she had no power and no ability to use weapons. She wasn’t a witch with powers to sway them so she set out on a horse, completely nude, and she got the attention she wanted. She made her mark. I found Lady Godiva in Kenya, hiding from the Muggles who had shot and killed her family, when I rescued her and confronted the Muggles, she jumped from my arms and stood in front of me, growling at them, almost daring them to fight her to get to me. I thought that she was making her stand, a cub with no power of her own, but she was trying. So I named her Godiva.” (Excerpt from A Second Chance, chapter 65)

Her grandfather on her dad’s side was a Muggle and veteran of the Second World War. He drove a 1937 BSA M20 and it’s hers now. She loves motorcycles and getting her hands dirty. She’s an incredible cook. She likes to read mystery, horror, and romance novels. She travels for her job and has been all over the world, but has recently been enjoying her time working in the menagerie within the Ministry of Magic and helping to organize it.

As to the Koldovstoretz School of Magic, I like to think it’s hidden somewhere deep in Russia and that it looks like the ruins Balga Castle to prevent anyone from finding it, but when you get through the warding it opens up and looks the Vologda Kremlin and Saint Sophia Cathedral, just gorgeous Russian architecture -- but not as large as Hogwarts’ castle. It says that they played a version of Quidditch there where they flew on uprooted trees instead of broomsticks -- which is another reason why I think Zee was never big into playing the sport herself. Also I imagine her as short and curvy, which means she may not have great balance on a broom, and she loves riding the motorbike and likes the Muggle machine more than a broomstick if she has to choose.

As to her family tree:

The Jacksons:

Colten (Muggle) and Florence Jackson

The Ivanov Family.

Crest: A stag with a scroll above its head that reads “In Unity We Thrive” and flanked by turtles doves.

Current Residence: An eastern providence named Ilsyvich. It is a mostly wooded province with many cities along its main trade route that snakes through the forests. Rich with woodland culture and mead breweries.

Lord Ivanov: Mischa Mikhaïlovitch Ivanov, aged twenty-four. Unwed. Unpromised. Soldier in the Vlarov’s Army. Second son to Mikhaïl Ivanov. Recently discharged from the Isles War.

Lady Sabina: Sabina Igorevna Ivanova, aged sixty-one. Wed to Lord Sasha Vadimovitch Ivanov thirty-two years before he died during the Red War. Mother of two children. Grandmother to Lord Mischa Ivanov.

Lord Feliks: Lord Feliks Mikhaïlovitch Ivanov, aged thirteen. Unwed. Unpromised.

Lady Rosa: Rosa Mikhaïlovitch Ivanova, aged eleven. Unwed. Unpromised.

Above is the quick and dirty for the Ivanov family! They are one of the noble families within Nazadar that visit Angavda during the festival. Below is the more of an in-depth look into how their family interacts with each other and the city/country around them.

Taglist: @beatlesandbards, @ambrosichor, @neothespian, @24hourauthor, @quilloftheclouds

Lord Mischa Ivanov is was the second heir to the Ivanov household but after his father died during the Red War and his brother died during the Isles War, he became their leader. Behind closed doors, Mischa doesn’t believe that he has what it takes to lead his noble family. He was raised to be a soldier for the Vlarov and he is through and through a soldier. He doesn’t understand the pettiness of politics and courtship because his father and mother taught him different skills; combat, maintaining a farm, and accounting. Despite this, Mischa wants to do what is right for his family - even if he doesn’t know exactly what that is.

Lady Sabina Ivanova is Lord Mischa, Lord Feliks, and Lady Rosa’s grandmother. She has been well ingrained in high society and acts as the raven on Mischa’s shoulder- whispering ideas to him in ways that he can understand. She loves her family but her actions can sometimes be described as calculating or cold; she often acts with a purpose and that purpose is usually furthering her family. She is caring and empathetic but also guarded, as one must be in high society.

Lord Feliks and Lady Rosa are thick as thieves and love to run around together getting into trouble and creating headaches for Lady Sabina. They both adore frogs and bugs, often putting them in suitcases, flower vases, anywhere they can be stored for the two children to find later. Mischa wants to give them time to be children, despite Lady Sabina’s not-so-subtle hints to promise them to other noble houses. They’re young and wild and should be allowed to before life slaps them.
