Appearance PB: Kim Cloutier
Physical Description: Flowy long skirts, scarves, head wraps, loose blouses, or loose dresses. She barely wears pants (typically only for quidditch). She's known to run around barefoot. She's not very tall at all and quite slight. She has her ears and her nose pierced (which her father hates) and she has a flower vine tattooed on her foot magically. Her hair is usually free flowing and she wears it long and slightly curly.
Personality Likes: Animals, magical creatures, being outdoors, baking bread, flying, and traveling. Dislikes: Her father. Her mother. Her Grandmother. Potatoes, washing up the laundry, and whining. Quirks: She's odd. She frolics in fields, skips in springs, and likes to put flowers in her hair. She doesn't care what others think of her because she doesn't particularly like people.
Secrets: She considered a fox who traveled along with the Gypsy tribe her only friend and she was devastated when he was killed, another reason for her to scorn other people.
Although Petya outwardly despises her family she really just wants them to love her and care about her. She especially wants them to apologize and make up for her childhood. She feels like she's never been loved in her life. Strengths: She's a natural when it comes to magical creatures. She also a natural when it comes to quidditch. She can pick up on different languages very quickly and already speaks several including Bulgarian, German, English, Romani, and Greek. Weaknesses: She has awful social skills when she's not scamming someone. She doesn't really know how to care about people.
Detailed Personality: She's bitter sweet, from a distance she seems like a sweet girl but once she gets to know someone she turns sour. She doesn't let anyone get too close and if they do she pushes them away by acting mean. She will sugar up anyone and then turn the switch and hurt the person, physically, mentally, or emotionally. She's been known to do all three. She likes animals more than she does people. She tends to be very short with people when in conversation and even though she looks approachable she is quite snippy.
She can't be bothered with ranks and hierarchy mostly because she can't be bothered with people at all. She only likes being around self-involved individuals when she know she can get under their skin.
There are a few reasons why she still plays quidditch even though she's been estranged for three years. She plays because she's good at it and it gives her something to be good at. A bit of her also plays because she feels like she's closer to her father if she does although she'll never admit this. She also plays because it's one of the few chances she gets to fly and that's one of the best feelings to her.
History:
Petya was the first born daughter to Viktor and Yana Krum. Her birth was the reason why her parents got married so young (the reason they got married at all). She had a turbulent early life, always being treated as a burden and constantly looked down upon by all of her grandparents. Once her father decided to make the situation work she started acting out. She would purposely do poorly at school or another student would end up being hurt or confused long enough to ruin their scholastic record. When her sister Anka was born three years ago she ran away from home and joined a Gypsy tribe, since she was so young and willing to learn she was adopted by a family. She was renamed Luminitsa by her adopted family when she was baptized in the community and since she already had a common name they didn't bother to give her another.
After a month of living and traveling with her Gypsy family there was a terrible storm while they were camping out in the woods. Lightening struck a tree and it collapsed on their camp killing several of the Gypsies including a boy her own age whom she played with and her Gypsy grandmother.
Her biological mother and father know that she can be reached at school and they send her letters to let her know what's going on in the family and beg her to come home. Viktor showed up at the school once last year to ask her home for Christmas and she refused. She stays at the school during winter holidays and tends to raise trouble in the nearby villages and cities. During the summer she wonders out to find her tribe and spends the summer traveling and trading with them. She's fascinated with fortune-telling but she's never had the knack for it and loves to watch some of the older women do it.
She has a pet owl named Besnik who she cared and brought back to health when she found him dying in the woods. He is very helpful when it comes to finding her tribe during the summer time as he acts as a messenger between Petya and her adopted family.
She doesn't really know what she wants to do with herself once she graduates from Durmstrang. She most likely will not continue into her eighth year and she doesn't know why she continues on at all. The options in her mind are that she can go back to the gypsies or she can work with magical creatures on he own. |
