Ivanna Utkin [Dropped]

Name: Ivanna Utkin
Age at death: Twenty-eight (At time of death)
Race: Human - Ghost
Occupation: Permanently retired, Haunter, Ex-barmaid
Birthday: April 22, 1599

Appearance: Ivanna's oval face is lined with dark brown, wavy hair that reaches to her mid back and that she likes to keep loose. She has a slight build, and stands at around 5' 5". Those that could see her would see that she wears a red linen tunic with long, baggy sleeves that tie off near the ends. She also wears a traditional Naughtsian skirt, also red, with Naughtsian boots peeking from the bottom of her skirt. When she feels like it, though, she imagines herself in other outfits, so her appearance can change whenever she wants.

Personality: Ivanna is a caring and thoughtful person. She will always see to the welfare of others, and tries to keep those close to her happy.

History: Ivanna's parents were farmers, living in a house out in the country. When Ivanna came of age, she wanted to see what city life was like. She had gone with her father on many trips to the city to sell their products, but Ivanna wanted to actually live in a city. Although it was rough at first, she quickly fell in love with the city. She got a job as a barmaid, living in a small, cheap apartment. On one particular day, she met a gentleman that seemed like he had had a rough day. Being her usual cheery self, she tried to make him feel better. He didn't seem to want to talk or anything of the like, but she began noticing that he came around more often, and that he started striking conversations with her. Eventually, the conversations turned into plain flirting, but Ivanna didn't mind. Unlike the other men that flirted with her, she liked this one. Dmitri was his name. The two started going out, and were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. They loved their time together, and Ivanna was much happier to see Dmitri as happy as he was, in contrast to when she first met him.

There came a time when Dmitri became quiet again, as if in thought, but Ivanna tried to pay no mind to it. He still seemed cheerful around her, so she figured nothing was wrong. Then, one day, while Dmitri was out, some strange men came and kidnapped her, and that's when she learned that Dmitri was not only a hitman, but a vampire as well, and that Dmitri's sire had been the one to kidnap her. Apparently, Dmitri had been shirking his duties to be with her, and that now he was going to be punished. Ivanna had never been so scared in her life. She was told that Dmitri was out redeeming himself, and that if she was a good girl, no harm would come to her. When Dmitri finally returned, Ivanna couldn't tell if she was happy or scared that he was back. She still loved him, but if being with him was this dangerous, she wasn't sure that she wanted to continue being close to him. Before her mind could be made up, she heard the sire say something about an unsatisfactory job and then a gunshot. With surprise, she realized that she had been shot. Her last image was Dmitri running toward her with his arms out, ready to catch her. She remembered feeling someone hold her tightly, and something wet hit her face. She heard Dmitri crying out her name. She could hear the tears in his voice.

When Ivanna woke again, she was surprised. She was sure she had been dead. When she saw her body stand before her, she realized with disgusted shock what had happened. A necromancer revived her body for his own use. She vowed to haunt this man for however long he should live. Her body was treated as a family heirloom, passed on to each generation like some trivial item. She followed her body wherever it went, though, and has haunted the necromancers ever since.

Abilities: As a ghost, Ivanna is able to manipulate small objects up to about the size of a small corner table and pass through solid structures. She can also posses people, taking over their bodies and shutting the person within out for about an hour. Once the hour is up, Ivanna's strength is depleted, and she becomes pretty much helpless for about four to five hours.
