⸙ APPEARANCE ⸙

Having just experienced a growth spurt, Tarja is taller than even most boys her age, standing at 155 cm. She has a light skin complexion and blue-gray eyes. The curtain of long hair that reaches the middle of her back seems to be getting darker every year, going from light-blonde when she was a child to nearly-brown dirty-blonde at the age of 11.

⸙ BACKSTORY ⸙

Born to Susanna Soini and Akim Kirillovich Blavatsky, Tarja grew up in a small urban settlement called Kalevala, in the Russian part of Karelia. Her mother being of Finnish descent, the girl lived in a bilingual environment and was influenced by the culture of both, Russia and Finland. As most of the town inhabitant were маглы (Muggles), the family had to conceal their magic, which was easy to the Muggleborn Susanna, but troublesome to Akim who came from a long line of Pureblood duelists that heavily relied on spells in their daily lives. However, being disowned by his family due to his decision to marry someone of no consequence, he had little choice but to move in to live with his wife and her parents. And so it was that Tarja led a mostly-unmagical life, in an old crumbling house, surrounded by nature, exploring the nearby forest and running in the fields; that is, until she was seven years old, when the magic started pouring out of her uncontrollably. First it was a cat stuck on a roof getting safely teleported to the ground, then Tarja's clothes that got torn when she fell from a tree being mended without a sign of imperfection, then a window she shattered while playing dodge-ball with other village kids being repaired immediately; after дедушка (grandpa) Soini once found the girl trying to mount a mysteriously uprooted birch sapling for a flying practice, her parents had no choice but to send her to school before word could spread about supernatural activities in their household. Durmstrang was not an option, since not only did it not accept children younger than 10, but quite a few members of the Blavatsky family had been corrupted by the vile education there, so much so that they went on to become Dark Wizards; neither Akim nor Susanna wanted Tarja to risk falling into that path. Therefore, the girl was sent to Koldovstoretz. She was distraught to part ways with her family and friends, but she obeyed her elders and took a Portkey to the school that would become her second home. Easy-going and amicable, she quickly made new friends, and was soon immensely enjoying her time at the institution. At the age of nine she was deemed advanced enough to join Group 4, meaning her education could begin in earnest. While moderately interested in nature magic, potions and conventional dueling, the girl found she was irresistibly attracted to Flying. That, combined with her inclination towards physical activity, soon made Tarja interested in broom sports. Or, well, levitation sports. Not able to afford a broomstick, much like the majority of other students at the school, she learned to play Quidditch on uprooted trees. Her current goals, however, are to master broom racing and to save up her scholarship money to purchase a real racing broom.

⸙ PERSONALITY ⸙

► OVERVIEW || Tarja is easy to get along with. She rarely gets frustrated, and if she does, it goes away quickly. She enjoys meeting new people, socializing with her friends, and being part of the group in general. While in a way competitive, she is also good sport and doesn't mind losing every now and then. Even though she is supportive, cooperative and kind, the girl is not seen as a model student because her desire to do things her way earns her quite a few detentions. On top of that, Tarja is easily distracted and has poor time-management skills, which leads to hurried last-minute homework preparation and barely above-average grades. She is also a thrill-seeker and too curious for her own good; that, combined with her preference for hands-on experience, means she occasionally has to spend time in the hospital wing after a backfired spell, a failed potions experiment, or a disastrous attempt at a fancy Quidditch move.

Reducio

For more than half of her young life Tarja lived with her magical parents and with maternal grandparents who were маглы. Due to the small size of the community where they resided, there could be very few secrets - especially with the inquisitive ancient women in the village who had all the time in the world and chose to spend it by prying into the lives of their neighbours. A lot of work was put into concealing the powers that Susanna and Akim had, and that Tarja was expected to possess as well. Therefore, much to Tarja's and her pureblood father's chagrin, the family lived almost entirely without the use of magic, although everyone in the household knew of its existence.

The girl had to learn the магл ways, and learn she did - fairly easily, too. She understands some of the маглы technology, for starters. She knows how to use a phone even though she never had one herself (her parents did, however, and Tarja quickly proved to be more apt than her father in cracking the mysteries of various settings and functions). While their family never owned a computer, there was one in the village library that children were allowed to access, and Tarja badgered some of the boys into teaching her to use it. However, the games they played failed to captivate her, and she only used the device when browsing for answers to various questions she had.

Tarja is also quite a sporty. Being amicable and extroverted, she befriended most all of the kids in the neighbourhood that were in her age group, and spent the majority of her free time climbing trees, playing tag, hide-and-seek, dodge-ball, football, etc. She grew to be physically strong and enduring thanks to these activities. Had she grown up in an urban environment, and perhaps in a more western country, her attraction to mostly-masculine sports would have earned her the title of a tomboy; but in the Russian village of Kalevala she was just a regular kid. While not particularly interested in fighting, she did get into squabbles with other children that occasionally got physical, and so she learned how to kick, punch, bite, scratch, wrestle and pull hair of those who challenged her unjustly.

At some point during her childhood the young witch also had a brief but intense passion for archery, forcing her grandpa to carve a simple bow and some dull arrows for her to shoot at a target under careful supervision. Her interest in the activity faded away in a few months, but the knowledge of how to use this primitive магл weapon remained. Her skills may have gotten rusty during her magical education, but it likely wouldn't take long to brush them up if she were to get hold of another bow.

All in all, Tarja is quite well versed in the маглы ways. She is able to use their technology to search for information, she is fast and agile thanks to the years spent playing with the neighbourhood kids, she can pack quite a punch if provoked, and she would be able to use a bow as well, if one was present. Yes, she had grown accustomed to using magic at school, but it did not take away the knowledge and skills gained while growing up like a regular магл.
