<strong>name:</strong>Svetlana Alexeyev<br/><strong>age:</strong>20ish<br/><strong>gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>race:</strong>Witch<br/><strong>Blood Status:</strong>Pure Blood<br/><strong>position:</strong>Student<br/><strong>Signature Spell:</strong>Cold Snap, as spell whose purpose it is to cause the temperature of an immediate area to drop below freezing. This spell can also be used on a life form for obvious ends.<br/><strong>Wand:</strong>Ironwood, 10 inches, banshee claw tip core<br/><strong>mirror, mirror on the wall:</strong>Svetlana is a Ukrainian beauty. She has a slender build and stands at 5'7''. Her hair is medium brown, long, and straight. Typically, Svetlana dresses moderately typical--if she was a muggle. Her clothing is always nice, clean, and her nails are always manicured. Despite her pleasing appearance, she has something a little<em>off</em>about her. It might be the cool way her hazel eyes calculate their surroundings and the people who are in them. She is very usual indeed.

She has a bitterly cold temper and is prone to have a very long memory indeed and is most certainly not above payback. In the barest essence of the word, Svetlana could best be described as mean. Being mean is not to be confused with being a bully because she does not lack in self esteem at all. She acts better than everybody else because to her she simply<em>is</em>. If there are other aspects to her personality, no one outside of that precious inner circle ever sees them.<br/><strong>my dark past:</strong>Svetlana grew up in the Ukraine, in the city of Mykolaiv which is directly north of the Black Sea. Her family is an old blood family and they have never bread outside of the Slavic wizarding communities. She was raised with two other siblings who are now off doing their "own thing". By and large, to Svetlana her upbringing was fairly decent. She certainly never complains about it and you would be acutely hard pressed to find evidence to the contrary. Actually you'd be hard pressed to find evidence of her upbringing, period.<br/><br/>According to her, she attended Durmstrang and graduated at the typical age of 17. It is apparently from Durmstrang that Svetlana met her inner circle. She seems to be somewhat worldly, as she possesses knowledge of several European and Middle Eastern countries that only someone who had actually been there. There are no other known records of Svetlana's past.
