OTHER Grandfather; Demitri Levkova (82), retired from US Marine Corp.

HISTORY Yana's father died two months before she was born, and her mother died two years after she was born. She had absolutely no memory of either of them, and though she used to look at their pictures and try and imagine what they were like and what they thought of her, she has long grown past the habit. The girl went into her grandfather's care, who's one family migrated from russia to the US a few years before the world war. He chose patriotism, joining the US military and staying in it as a career until he retired the year Tatyana was born.

He raised Yana with little sentimentality. Though he loved her very much, he was a marine through and through, and had a hard time showing his affection. Yana grew to beam at him whenever he deigned to give her a soft, barely-there smile, or put his hand comfortingly and briefly on her shoulder. At the same time, he taught her to be tough, to not rise to the bait of fools, to use self defense with or without weapons, and to keep a straight face when he was shouting wrathfully at her. He was the one who first put it into her head that she should never allow herself to show her deeper emotions.

It was only when she was thirteen and had developed her wind powers that he grandfather revealed that he was also an elemental. Also a wind. He had gone to the academy, so that's where he sent her, thinking it a good place for her to gain experience and start herself off on the military career he dreamed she would one day have. She went, hoping that she'd be able to find a lot of good friends among her element. Alas, it was not so—she was betrayed by several of her wind friends upon the start of the first war.

So Yana gained a stony outward composure. She disliked but applied herself to her studies, and she excelled in the power training like no other student in her grade, regardless of the element. In her senior year she was voted leader, but that didn't last. Her military father had imparted to her military strictness, and before she knew it she had taken enough of her element's freedoms away that they voted and kicked her out of the position. This solidified her already growing dislike of other people.

After high school at the academy of the elements, she went on to an army academy in the US. Although she loved what she got to do, the girl didn't much like the inability to wear her hair the way she wanted or take as much leisure time as she wanted. Still, far from lazy, she applied herself once again, mastering in a few years the use of several firearms, knife and unarmed fighting, even against multiple opponents. She was the person whom people went to when they were feeling cocky, challenging her to a sparring match and hoping to gain the champion title. But it never happened.

Until her fourth and final year in the academy. One of the men she had made a fool of multiple times drugged and sexually assaulted her at knife point. That was when she gained her scar. The half-memory is burned into her brain, and the numbness she gained from it caused her to loose her game and her position on the top of the heap. Soon after she disappeared from the place altogether. Without contacting her grandfather or her instructors, she skipped country and found herself back at the academy doors again.

Not really understanding the reasoning behind her own choices, Tatyana did three things. She got herself Canadian citizenship, applied for the position of highschool PE instructor at the Academy of the elements, and dyed her hair white. With lavender highlights. Now she had been teaching since the beginning of the term, hoping beyond hope that her grandfather doesn't find her and force her back to the one place she never wants to see again.
