Essentials ──────── Name. Klara Anastasia Vasilieva Age. Twelve D.O.B. December 19, 2008 School & Year. Koldovstoretz, first year

Reducio Appearance. Klara is a beautiful girl and draws attention to herself no matter how hard she tries not to be noticed. Her long, golden-brown hair falls a little ways below her shoulders, and her light blue-green eyes are simply stunning. For such a pretty girl, Klara doesn't care all that much about her looks. Brushing her hair and teeth every morning is about as far as she gets - and often she doesn't even do those that! Clothes-wise, the young girl does her best to wear dark, bland colors that will help her slip unnoticed through crowds. Most days, she can be found wearing a plain colored top and skirt, although in the winter she wears leggings and sweaters as well. ──────────────────────── Personality. A very observant girl, not many things escape Klara's attention. Her eyes are constantly scanning whatever room she is in, trying to determine one thing or another about her environment and the people around her. Klara is almost always the fastest in her class to understand a concept or skill, and she can master it just as quickly. When this is not the case, however, she can get upset as she thinks that failing is one of the worst things in life. If she is asked if she needs any help, Klara will turn frosty and cold and say no - even if she is really confused. An introvert, the twelve year old stays as far away from big groups of people as she can, slightly afraid to be around more than five people at a time. Cautious when talking to others in fear that they will end up hurting her, Klara doesn't make many friends - but if you ask her, she'll tell you it's because she'd rather be thinking than talking, unlike most others. When she does end up having a conversation with another person, it can seem like she thinks that they is unworthy of her time, but that's just how she acts when meeting someone at first: distant, and cold. If you can get her to accept that you're not trying to hurt her, however, the attentive, intelligent child she really is will shine through. Characteristics History ────────────── Reducio On a cold wintry night, as snow fell softly outside the window and brushed lightly against the glass, a beautiful baby girl was born. Named Klara for her clear, bright eyes, the young girl's mother absolutely adored her. Her father, however, was a different story. While he was not outwardly cruel or mean to the child, Klara's father's attitude was more... indifferent. To her, it felt almost as if he didn't notice she was there. Or maybe he did, but just decided to pretend otherwise—who knew? A genius man, he was often occupied by work and other brilliant thoughts roaming about his mind, so perhaps people passed off his ignorance of his daughter as simply the fact that he was busy with other things. Still, for Klara this made life at home hard. Sure, her mother loved her very much and was always doing everything in her power to make sure that she was comfortable and had everything she needed, but living with a father who barely ever take notice of you is very, very difficult. This was the case of Klara in particular. Like all children do, Klara felt the need to impress her parents—mainly her father, if she was honest—from a very early age. A very intelligent girl, even from the beginning, Klara was often trying to help her father with his work. He was always concentrated on that, she thought, so what better way to get his attention? The young child would sit by her father's desk for hours on end sometimes, just trying to see if she could pick up enough bits and pieces of information to actually understand what he was doing. But no matter what she tried, he was never impressed. One night, during the summer of 2016, Klara saw something slightly out of the ordinary. The door to her father's study was wide open! As it was practically the middle of the night, and seeing as her father was a very secretive man when it came to his work, this little change sparked a fizz of curiosity in the seven year old. Tiptoeing out of her room, Klara peeked inside. The room was empty—her father wasn't there. Hardly daring to believe this stroke of luck, Klara slipped inside and looked around. There were so many things she'd been wanting to examine without her father in the room—this was her chance! If she could read up on everything her father was doing, then maybe she could surprise him with what she'd learned the next day, she thought to herself excitedly. Creeping farther into the room, she spotted one of those thick leather-bound books he was always crouched over. She raced towards it, and, not looking where she was going, tripped. Her foot had gotten caught around the leg of a table, and Klara knew that the noise she would make upon hitting the ground would definitely wake her parents. Her eyes squeezed shut as she braced for impact... CRASH. At least I know how to land properly, was Klara's first thought before she opened her eyes again. It's definitely a useful skill to know. Still, even landing properly hadn't kept her from all injury, as she soon found out from a strong stinging feeling in her right arm, where she had probably been cut. Sitting back up, Klara gave just the slightest glance towards her arm, not really caring much that she was hurt—although even just that small look told her that her arm was bleeding quite badly. Instead, her gaze swept upwards towards the door, checking if anyone was coming. For a few seconds, everything was silent. Then, hurried footsteps sounded, coming towards her direction. As her eyes widened, Klara realized that there wasn't even enough time for her to scramble under a desk. All she could do was wait. When her father arrived seconds later with his wife Natalia right behind him, he found his daughter sitting on the ground, staring at her right arm in amazement. When her mother asked what was gone, Klara simply pointed at her arm, not even looking up at them. For where the large gash had been, her pale skin was perfectly smooth once more. The whole cut had simply... disappeared. A while after this happened, when Klara was eleven, she received an acceptance letter to Koldovstoretz. Excited to finally learn more about magic, she waited impatiently for her first day at the school of magic to arrive.
