Appearance Reducio As a part-goblin, Viktoria stopped growing at 5'0, which didn't come as a surprise, given the height of both of her parents. Generally it isn't hard to tell who her parents are. She inherited her fathers chestnut colour hair and pale skin and her mother's freckles and blue eyes, as well as slightly pointier ears that she likes to decorate with multiple earrings. Her haircolour tends to switch between blond and natural, Vika quite enjoys dying it. During her time in Yaroyevka, she had been a rather skinny child, but the long years of studying caused her to gain a bit of weight. Now, as an adult, she is rather curvy. --- Personality Reducio Viktoria grew up with few rules and a lot of guidance from her own parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors and friends' parents, shaping her into a free spirited, self confident and social adult. She is eager to learn, easily loses track of time in the presence of books and/or plants and enjoys talking to people, children as well as adults. Maybe it is the lack of rules she grew up with that makes her struggle with authority a little. She tends to be rather stubborn and when disagreeing with someone who holds a higher position than her, she struggles to stop arguing. Spending time with her father and grandparents influenced her interests a lot. Helping Alexei brew potions and pastes to help healing processes caused her to develop a special interest in plants. Often she can be found wearing wild flowers in her hair or bracelets and necklaces woven out of flowers. With practice she became pretty good at making flower crowns and similar, so much that her friends regularly asked her to make something for them. --- Backstory Reducio Viktoria Petrova was born on a clear full moon night on October 26th 1996, in Yaroyevka, a small, secluded village in the Altai mountains, just at the border between Russia, Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan, to Elizaveta Mikhailova, the headmistress of the local school and Alexei Petrov, a healer. A child who showed her first smile before she even opened her eyes. Yaroyevka, although located in a beautiful area, has not reached popularity in the middle asian wizarding population, but the villagers are quite content being left alone. Five generations back, a handful of magical families decided to retreat from noisy cities and built a small settlement of their own. Even though some centuries passed, the village has not moved on from the simple way of life they had started with. Wooden houses seam simple paths that were caused by centuries of people walking the same way, rather than intention, food grown by hand, children raised by all. The villagers had not turned away from magic though. Crops were grown faster, houses protected from the cold winds and made more comfortable, medical issues solved more effectively with a bit of magical help. The fireplaces existent in almost every building were connected to the floo network for easier travel within but also out of the village. Viktoria was born of a fleeting affair between her parents, but she didn't feel any particular way about it. Her parents' houses weren't far and both made sure to have a spare room for the child, when it was clear that Elizaveta was pregnant. Elizaveta and Alexei were friends, so there were still weekends and dinners spent with both parents. Families didn't really keep to themselves so much in Yaroyevka anyway. It was entirely normal for Vika to have dinner at the house of any friend she had been playing with that day. She received basic education at the little school in the village that taught children until they were 11, at which point they were usually sent off to Koldovstoretz. When she was younger, Vika dreaded reaching that age. She enjoyed spending her days in a community where there were no strangers. She liked spending the weekends helping, whether that was in the village greenhouses, with the animals or her father in their little hospital. When Vika finally went to Koldovstoretz, she didn't hate it though. It was like she entered a different world. She had left Yaroyevka to get her school supplies, which had been quite overwhelming, but other than that, Vika hadn't left the village much. At Koldovstoretz, she finally got to use magic herself, learn different ways and meet people who grew up very different than she had. It was one of the reasons most of the adults in Yaroyevka insisted on sending their children to Koldovstoretz instead of homeschooling. While the community loved the city, it was never the goal to keep the children by not letting them know anything else. Vika loved learning. Hearing of different lives in big cities and other countries, outside of the tiny world she had known for all her life before Koldovstoretz. She had always been interested in plants and read whatever books she could find in Yaroyevka, but Koldovstoretz opened up a whole new world. And Vika didn't return. At least not for long. As much as she loved Yaroyevka, she only went back for two years after graduating, helped with the greenhouses, the hospital and the library, before leaving to move to Kazan to study Ancient Runes. And finally, when she finished her studies, Vika returned to Koldovstoretz to become the Professor for Ancient Runes. First Instance of Magic: Vika was 6 and it was a particularly boring lesson in October that she just couldn't bring herself to pay attention to. Aimlessly she was flipping through the classbook, instead of doing the task they were given, head resting on her elbow on the table, glancing out of the window occasionally, watching the village's adults in their daily activities. When the first snowflake fell, her head rose from the table. The ones that followed, had her jump off her chair and race to the window, immediately followed by some of her classmates. The reprimanding of the teacher did little to calm the class of excited children, itching to build snowmen and start snowfights. It had been cold for days, freezing winds blowing through the streets every day, keeping families inside their houses, huddled around their fireplaces in the evenings. Vika knew that this would be different once there was snow. Now the children would be outside after school, for as long as the temperatures allowed, playing in the snow. No, the teacher couldn't tear the children's attention away from the snow. But the open classbooks on everyone's tables did quite nicely. An invisible hand seemed to quickly flip through all of them, carelessly, crinkling and tearing some of them. It was impossible to tell, which child's excitement caused this outburst of magic. But Vika knew.

	Part-Goblin Reducio When Yaroyevka was founded, it was not only wizards and witches, who joined the village. Some veelas, goblins, vampires and werewolves were tired of the treatment they received in wizarding society and saw a chance for a new start, far away. And as the years passed, non-humans and humans in the village began to mix, resulting in several half-humans, like Elizaveta, Vika's mother. Alexei and Elizaveta quickly became friends in school and remained exceptionally close, until years later, one night resulted in Elizaveta becoming pregnant with Viktoria. Despite the pregnancy being unintended and both Alexei and Elizaveta being uninterested in being more than friends, it worked out. The grandparents on both sides were skeptical at first, but loved little Vika from the moment she entered the world. Alexei's parents were at first not too happy about the idea that the newest member of their old, spotless pureblood line was part-goblin, but they quickly came around when they met the curious, creative, and cheerful little girl, their granddaughter was. Whenever they could, they would spend time with Vika, telling her about their life in the wizarding school and Koldovstoretz, the school they hoped Vika to be able to attend as well. And while Vika loved her paternal grandparents, it was her maternal grandparents she preferred to spend time with. Both of them were half-goblins and while Vika never felt she was too different from the other children in the village, she could find the same differences in both of them. Her grandfather taught Alexei a lot about plants, in an attempt to bond with the father of his granddaughter, and he did the same with Vika. When the two of them didn't take care of his two pet alpacas together, they were in his greenhouse and he showed Vika the plants that were edible, used in different potions and also taught her a simple way to make flower crowns. Her grandmother's strength was lying elsewhere. Where her grandfather had his little greenhouse, her grandmother had a forge, where she crafted whatever the village needed or she felt like. Vika spent hours rummaging through her grandmother's impressive jewelry box, all of which the old woman had made herself or inherited from her parents. She took a lot of care that Vika did not hurt herself in the forge while she was small, but when Vika was 15, she allowed her to actually help and craft things herself. Vika quickly became pretty good at it very quickly, wearing the jewelry- usually earrings, as those were her favorite- she crafted every day, swelling with pride whenever someone complimented them. It went so far that villagers asked her to make something for them, so Vika had her own little income next to the pocket money she got from parents and grandparents quite soon. In Koldovstoretz, Vika had little chance to craft anything out of metal, but she could put her green thumb to good use. Her office could as well be a little greenhouse, blooming plants decorating walls, windows and furniture. (503 words)
