by Name: Ivana Nightingale
Gender: Female
Age: 53
Birthday: Unknown
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Other than typical wrinkles that come with being a woman of Ivana's age, Ivana appears free of anything too out of the ordinary.
Personality:
In Ivana's day-to-day life, she could be described a as a simple, free-spirited woman. Ivana tends to stick to her own, not being very fond of social interactions, she prefers having few friends and having strong relationships with them. Her reclusive tendencies have lead her to be somewhat cautious and careful when dealing with new situations or when lacking experience in something. General alertness and caution have lead her to be very planned, not fond of spontaneous activity, preferring to be prepared when doing anything, from simple tasks to important duties. Some people may view Ivana as a cynic though she sees herself as a realist, often being brutally honest with reality as well. The harshness of Ivana's worldview can cause her to be analytic, thoroughly inspecting each and every little thing to come her way. Despite her presumably cold exterior, Ivana deeply cares for her friends though she doesn't usually show it in anyway. Ivana likes to treat her friends as close as a near and dear family member though it's typically hard to get Ivana to lend her trust to someone easily, it has to be earned over a long period of time. In groups of people, Ivana can be very volatile, her attitude towards them usually depending on a predetermined mental judgement of each person. Emotionally, Ivana can lean toward apathy, seemingly indifferent though when her emotions do waver, they can be very apparent and in your face. In her free time, Ivana likes to read books, typically ones basing around myth and fantasy and sometimes write or draw to express her current state of mind or other things. Lastly, Ivana doesn't subscribe to any specific religions though she does like the thought of exploring the beliefs of most theistic religions, to get a deeper look into their culture and how they see the world with a deity supposedly watching over them.
When faced with combat, Ivana generally tries to keep composure but when that facade of easiness fades, she works very rationally and precisely. She views battle as a strategic art, involving mental calculations and predictions. Ivana's formulaic view of battle can cause her to be very easily intimidated if one of her predictions or calculations were to be wrong. Similar to her personality in everyday life, her mood can swing erratically, allowing her to go from composed and calm to trembling and panicking within moments. Before battle or during (if given the opportunity), Ivana likes to point out and make notes of visible weaknesses of her foes and think of ways to use it to her advantage. If confronted with herself or her ally, she would usually think of saving herself before her ally and would rather focus on defeating her enemy before fleeing to try and save her ally. Aside from more strategy-oriented parts of her battle personality, Ivana's everyday attitude can leak into her battle one quite easily. Extreme caution, brutally honest, and so on usually influence her decisions and choices causing people to get hurt for her to succeed or not be injured can haunt her after the fight, like self-inflicted guilt.

General Appearance
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 115lbs
Hair: Ivana's hair, before strands of gray had begun to appear, was a dull, shiny black color. Now, her hair is a dark gray with few strands and tassels of varying shades of gray. Her hair is parted in the middle, simply flowing down to her shoulders in length.
Eyes: Ivana's eyes are similar in hue to the color of amber, like a burnt ingot of gold. She has long, sometimes fake, eyelashes along the fox-like shape of her eyes, evoking a sense of slyness.
Skin Tone: Ivana's skin is cool in tone, peachy and rosy-pale. Her skin is free of imperfection except for a few freckles here and there across her body and minuscule scars from a few clumsy cooking slip-ups.
Appearance:
With skin of rosy porcelain, Ivana stands at 5'3" with a decent, fit figure for her age. Long, varying shades of ashy gray-colored and neatly kempt tassels of hair, with a part in the middle, rest idle atop Ivana's square-shaped head, reaching down to her shoulders. Ivana's prominent cheekbones, puffy and shaped lips, as well as shifty, amber-hued eyes are the main features of her face, not to forget her small yet perky nose. Few wrinkles and lines are present on her face, mostly due to her current age. A skinny yet short neck connects her head to her seemingly athletic body, her mostly flat chest covered by a white crew-neck t-shirt paired with a pair of pale-blue jeans with the ankles rolled up. Her feet placed into black boots laced up with matching black laces. To finish her outfit off, she wears a windbreaker-esque black jacket over her milky white t-shirt. Ivana tends to switch up her outfits depending on situations, especially combat-related ones but tries to keep herself fashionable.

Likes:
- Literature: Ivana finds company and entertainment within books, using reading as a sort of escape from her current reality and writing as a way of expression.
- Mythology: Ivana adores listening to and learning of the tales that detail the creatures and gods of mythos, believing some of the messages within the fables to be of extreme value.
- Fashion: Ivana likes to dress well and sees expression through clothing, from casual to formal, to be fun. Ivana usually prefers vintage clothing and unusual accessories.
Dislikes:
- Dark/Unholy Beings: Due to her past experiences with darkly-natured spirits, Ivana associates all dark beings and magi with that part of her history. So much so that she's taken up getting rid of them in her free time.
- Competition: Ivana doesn't like competition between peers and friends, finding herself to easily become frustrated when it comes to doing badly (in whatever they might be doing) and act negatively. She tends to avoid competition.
- Betrayal: Ivana often has trouble making strong bonds with friends and especially lending her trust to them but when she does, she acts very loyally toward that person and to waste the time and effort put into the relationship by turning on her is one of the worst things in her mind.
Motivations:
- Understanding: Comprehending other cultures, religions, belief systems, etc. in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is one of the most important, lifetime goals Ivana has developed in the past.
- Recognition: Fame and recognition is something Ivana hopes to achieve while pursuing her previous goal, despite disliking being in the spotlight and social interaction, she believes leaving her mark on the world is something that drives her.
- Judgment: Concerning Ivana's history with dark creatures, Ivana's taken up the vigilante-esque role of pursuing and eliminating any and all she can in her old age, hoping to chase after and defeat as many as she can before her end.
Fears:
- Failure: Failing to complete a job, failing to save herself, failing anything can strike negatively with Ivana. Strict parents in her childhood instilled in her that failure is the worst thing possible and that mistakes are usually the means to an end.
- Death: Ivana associates death (outside of old age) with her fear of failure, seeing it as the result of her flops and as the ultimate punishment for her incompetence.
- Darkness: The eerie presence of abundant shade can really make Ivana uncomfortable easily, not knowing what might lurk around within the shadows is what tears her apart the most.
