SECTION 2
APPEARANCE
Ivana is of average height, with above-average strength. She prefers keeping her straight hair short. She doesn't have any preferred outfit, though she always made sure to wear a Boilweave winter jacket over it.
No longer in ownership of said jacket, she does not have any consistent outfits.
SECTION 3
PERSONALITY
Ivana is an outspoken, determined, yet cautious woman. She treads the line of caution and proactiveness, though prefers to play it safe. She doesn't handle stress or anger very well, though she's learned to manage. Somewhat.
Her biggest wish in life is to live a stable life; she doesn't care about fame or fortune. In fact, she has become strongly averse to anything exciting.
Ivana really does not like skirts.
SECTION 4
BACKSTORY
By all counts, Ivana had a good upbringing. She was an average child born to an average household, known for being a sweet girl even through her early teens. She had a brief rebellious phase, sure, but always meant good.
In the end, it was the casinos that started Ivana's downward spiral. She'd gotten lucky and won big early on - big enough to buy an imported, used Boilweave jacket, among other nice things. Instead of taking her winnings and running for the hills, however, she fell into the Marinov trap. She played again, and again, and again, always hoping to win more and more. When she ran out of money, she began to take loans, all to pursue an impossible goal.
By the time she was twenty-three, Ivana was deep in debt and regret. She was forced into a life of crime to repay what she owed, struggling to make ends meet for two years. It was by pure luck she'd acquired a connection that lead her to the Solovievs, who initially paid her to smuggle booze. Her very first run had gone poorly, causing her to take her first lives, much to her own dismay. It gradually escalated from there, until she found herself part of a conspiracy to commit the then-greatest jewlery heist in Drahosican history.
Life became even more complicated when, after coming home from another planning session around that heist, COCI caught her. Instead of being immediately thrown to the court and a near-certain visit to the electic chair, she was given an offer that she simply could not refuse. Become a mole, and she would eventually be a free woman, able to live a quiet and boring life in Greater Martil.
Ivana would end up winning big in that heist, thanks to her companion Veiyesti somehow managing to concince an ambushing COCI to back off and let them get away with the entire store's supply. Her apparant loyalty had been secured, and she was free to burrow deeper into the mob's blindspot.
A little over a year following the heist, Ivana's double-agenting had finally bore fruit. She had gotten enough dirt on the Solovievs that COCI was able to destroy western operations, and with it she was free. She was given a one-way ticket to Hiji, and chose to never look back. The Solovievs nearly got her on the way out, but a team of Blackroses ensured she arrived to Greater Martil in one piece.
Once in Greater Martil, Ivana's story was over. She was a free woman, able to lead the life she'd always wanted; unexciting and comfortable. And so she would contentedly live out the rest of her days in an exotic land which tolerated her most of the time, surrounded by a small group of friends who genuinely appreciated her (odd) presence.
She didn't get to keep the jacket, though. Turns out, it had been stolen and thus illegally sold to Ivana, so it was immediately taken from her. Its rightful owner was glad to have it back, though.
