[i]”Why did you save me?”

“As I am in this world, I am bound to this swamp, this Polesia. I can only use my magic through this filthwater, powerful only in destroying man's watercraft and drowning passing fools like yourself. But...through our pact, through you, it is no longer bound. The variety is now infinite. We can do great and terrible things together.”[/i]

True Name: Svetsuli
Taken Name: Mira
Given Name: Klara Zelenko
Age: 25 years old

Personality: In general, Mira is a pragmatist. It's rare that you would see her lounging around; she makes sure that all of her hobbies are useful. If she isn't practicing her English, she is reading. If she isn't reading, she is making something. Her favorite hobby is weaving, oddly enough. She travels with a small portable loom, and is often seen making something to relax, the patterns are likely used for a magical nature. Mira is always trying to improve herself, embracing her new independent lifestyle wholeheartedly. 

Casual acquaintances would accuse her of having a stick up her ass, and they wouldn't be wrong. Mira rejects stimulants of all kinds, including caffeine and nicotine. She wouldn't outright scorn someone else for using drugs or alcohol however. She has a general philosophy of “Live, let live, and don't drag me into it.”. After her experiences with marriage and her demanding contract, she can be bitter at times, though there's room in her for growth. Mira has a bad case of 'angry resting face', and is [b]absolutely terrible[/b] at lying. 

Mira has a dry sense of humor and rarely laughs, but when she does it's incredibly infectious. Because of  her contract, Mira tries not to be tied down anywhere. She is able to get up and go, no matter where she is currently residing and keeps everything essential with her. Because of this, she has very little concern for material objects, either her own possessions or someone else's. 

Since she is relatively new to the country, Mira struggles somewhat with English. Ukrainian is her first language, her Russian is passable and she can hold a conversation, but her accent is quite strong and English feels awkward on her tongue. To the untrained ear, her accent would sound Russian, but anyone else from Slavic countries would be able to tell the difference. 

Nature of Magic: Contract

Magic Practice: Koldun

Brief Bio: Klara was born in the Ukraine to a poor family. She received her magic connection when she was 23 years old. She was sightseeing the swampy region of Polesia, but got separated from her group and was lost. When night fell, she took a wrong step and nearly drowned. She was saved by a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodyanoy]vodianyk[/url] that called itself Boleyk. In exchange for her life, she promised Boleyk her soul. They also formed a contract, that Klara would be gifted his magic and act as his conduit to the rest of the mortal world. If she calls upon his abilities very often, he might demand a possession or an act from her. Most recently, she had to give him her hair. When she turned 24, she decided to go through an international marriage agency so she could seek a more comfortable life in a more developed country. (mail order bride, more or less) It wasn't long before she was on a plane to the United States, though unfortunately for her one of Boleyk's orders ended the marriage prematurely. He demanded that she steal her husband's expensive watch for him, but she was caught. Now a wiser woman, she is without a home and without a job, and is currently moving from one temporary shelter to the next, practicing her English and looking for gainful employment.
