Ilya
About
Born in 1998, Ilya (pronounced ill-yah) is a young Mage, a hardworking, bookish girl who has always favoured living and looking on the bright side of life. She wears small glasses over big brown eyes and has straight brown hair that's often up in a messy ponytail or braided with a flower in it. Her clothing style is casual, with jeans and a t-shirt her most common attire, what she wears sometimes borders on hipster, but never quite makes it. She's often spotted with her a book, the iron nails that she got from her dads collection when she was younger, or occasionally with her iPad, to write things down, or carry out her school study.
While ambitious, Ilya isn't always the most prudent when it comes to playing with her magic, which has from time to time resulted in no slight annoyance for her mentors. But she always tries her best to help people, and to do as she's asked by those she sees as her betters, relying on her own sense of judgment to make the right choice, even when it means she has to say no to her superiors. Her sense of right and wrong means she could have made a good guardian, as one of her mentors suggested, but since she's already joined the Mysterium as an Acquisitor, and is happy in this role, as it suits her skillset and life-goals well.
Ilya means well, she always has. That's not to say that she doesn't get things wrong, because somehow she's wound up on the wrong side of things just enough times to know that mistakes can hurt. On many occasions, she's scraped through on naught much more than sheer determination. However, this doesn't stop her bubbly, joyful personality from shining through.
