-mercurialThe best way to describe Tavi around people is awkward. He grew up in a family where everyone was accepted and welcomed regardless of their faults, which was a double-edged sword because he was accepted but it also meant no one tried to correct the issue of his not being able to communicate well. Most of his life was spent listening rather than talking, so when he does try to talk now it can come off as gruff and aloof.
Nothing could be further from the truth, however. Tavi is loyal to a fault to his loved ones and does have a genuinely big heart - he tries to help those who seem to deserve it and he has a huge deal of empathy for humans, animals... even plants. He much prefers listening to speaking because he takes a genuine interest in the world around him - hearing the lives of others is intriguing to him and collecting stories from both now and hundreds of years in the past is his passion.
His main faults beyond poor communication are an ingrained suspicion and wariness of strangers due to the treatment his people sometimes received by others, and a quick temper that fires up when his protective streak does. With all this together, he finds it difficult to make friends, especially since he spent his childhood moving around and never stayed in one place long enough to develop deep friendships. A wanderlust that lives in his bones always makes him too itchy to move on to the next adventure to create more meaningful relationships than he already has.

Luckily, living in a Ruska Roma family meant that there were always people around to help out - while the people his mother lived with weren't all blood-related, they had chosen each other as family and treated each other as such nonetheless. Octavian Kostyovich (known to those around him as Tavi), loved his family fiercely and ended up becoming quite the protective older brother when more younger siblings were added to his family as men filtered in and out of his mother's life.
Since the nomadic way of life was banned in Russia for the Ruska Roma, Tavi's particular family of Russian Roma people spent much of their time travelling in caravans outside of Russia, only moving to settle in at apartments in Moscow for a few months at a time when there were large events on. They made their money through performing arts and entertainment, and though they never ended up having much money - most people would classify them as poor - they were happy.
Tavi particularly enjoyed traveling through different countries and learning about a number of cultures, although in many places his people were looked upon with suspicion and even occasionally chased out of town. They never did anything wrong, but social status and their way of life caused bad blood sometimes. It was due to this that Tavi ended up developing a temper and wariness of strangers, and if anyone even looked the wrong way at his siblings he'd be ready to go off on a rant or even get physical.
His particular family of people also happened to be wizards, though they never incorporated this into their performances. It was more a comfortable, unspoken thing that they could all use magic, and when they were out in the middle of nowhere in their caravans one could often find dishes being done on their own or instruments plucking out melodies while no hands touched them.
The boy’s own first magic happened when he was nine - his little brother got too close to a cooking pot about to spill. Tavi was running to grab the pot to stop the boiling water from sloshing all over the two-year-old and knew he wouldn’t make it when suddenly the pot righted itself, the liquid moved away from his brother, and all was right again. When he told his mother she wasn’t overly surprised, she just thanked him, kissed his forehead, and told him that the family legacy continued through him.
As he neared eleven, Tavi's mother took him aside and explained to him that going to a magic school was a good idea because it would help him gain control of magic plus open doors for him to do whatever he wanted when he got older. It sounded unappealing at first, especially since he was used to the casual homeschooling life with different family members as teachers, but his siblings all appeared so excited by the idea that he knew he had to go. If not for himself, then to show them that magic schools were alright so that they'd have whatever opportunities they wanted when they were older since it would encourage them to attend the school with him. It also gave him the chance to scout out the school before any of them started and to keep an eye out for those who chose to come after him.
Between Durmstrang and Koldovstoretz, Tavi decided to go with the Russian school since it was closer to the travel path and word was that it was a more open-minded school than the traditional Durmstrang.

Fearless ➪ Fear effects such as a dhmpir's aura, the ability terrible presence, a lycanothrope's intimidation or certain charms, potions and jinxes that would normally cause a fear effect do not work on you as you are immune to them.
ReducioGrowing up in a family considered outcasts by the rest of society, Tavi met his fair share of people and creatures who would normally put others off. His group tended to allow anyone to join them with an easy acceptance - a strict 'no questions, no past' policy for those who wanted to travel away from their homes for various reasons - which meant even through the short amount of years he lived he met a wide variety of the Wizarding World's 'most terrifying.'
Vampires, werewolves, dhampirs, and others all came and went, most of the time without incidence. By the age of six he'd already met at least one from each species and had the chance to get to know some of them, a couple through listening to them tell their stories around the campfire to the nonjudgmental Roma and a couple others through just peering curiously at them as they silently contemplated things. Though a dark aura seemed to hang about these people, Tavi slowly learned not to be scared of them just because of an unnerving appearance.
Judge who they are, not what they are was something that had been ingrained in him since youth, and his mother had explained to him very early on that though there were different types of races, sexualities, religions, cultures, genders, and more, you judged based on the heart of the individual instead of the label attached to them. Anyone could be good, just as anyone could be a Ублюдок (bastard). The more he considered it and the more he spent around different types of people, the less unnerving that dark aura felt.
By the time he'd reached ten, Tavi even had a couple werewolves and vampires in his extended family from various incidents, and he knew that a lot of the time it wasn't their fault they were what they were - shit just happened, for lack of a better term. As a matter of fact, since those species sometimes faced discrimination and ended up outcasts, Tavi began to be more comfortable around them than 'normal' folks. Those who knew what being treated different for something you couldn't control was like tended to be more empathetic and understanding than people who'd grown up privileged. Regardless of the reason why one was an outcast, there was a feeling of kinship with others in the same boat.
Now Tavi remains completely unaffected by the presence of things that would usually strike fear in even wizards. He'd rather strike up a conversation with a wayward werewolf or vampire than someone more mundane who might want to coax him into small talk - small talk is the real terrifying presence in this world.Broom
