overall personality:
Phillipa is basically a girl who loves to have a good time. She's always looking for something to do, something exciting, and a lot of the time dangerous. She's quite adventurous, rarely backing down from a challenge. The bigger the risk, the more likely she is to take it. She doesn't like it when other people take the same risks though, and can be extremely protective. Even if she doesn't know you well, she'll do what it takes to make sure you get home in one piece, no matter the cost to herself. And the closer she gets to you, the more protective she gets...
She loves everything and anything that she doesn't understand. The bigger the mystery, the more excited she gets. The world is full of secrets, and she wants to unravel them all.
Pippa is a quite vocal person. She can be wordy when talking, and she isn't shy when it comes to strangers. If anything she gets excited meeting anyone new (she likes mysteries, and new people are mysteries...). She's very loving though, and rarely does anything to offend someone. She's open and honest, rarely keep secrets from people. She just can't keep the truth to herself. She has to share what she knows, with everyone. Even if they aren't interested in hearing it...
Being a former curse breaker, Pippa is innovative and clever. She can handle stress and pressure. Again, it will usually be with a smile and laugh. She doesn't take life seriously, after all! She's good at thinking on her feet, which has gotten her out of several tight situations before. She isn't impulsive though, and doesn't rush into a situation without carefully considering what might happen (especially if someone is with her.).

history:
Phillipa was born and raised by Elke and Henry Aminev. Life, even as an infant was never normal. While pure Russian, Pippa actually didn't spend much of her childhood in her homeland. Her parents careers constantly had the family on the move. By the time she was five, she's already lived in more countries then her years on earth. But, she loved the life. Her father would tell her and her brother fantastic stories every day, and introduce them to some of the most interesting creatures imaginable. Her mother on the other hand would show off her latest treasures, and weave intricate tails of adventure. Basically, she was a dreamer, from the day she was born. A dreamer of adventure. When most witches and wizards her age were learning how to ride a broom, young Pippa was meeting a sphinx for the first time. Basically, she had a very unorthodox childhood...
When it came time for the girl to attend school, her parents seriously considered homeschooling her, convinced they could handle her education far better then any school. But, due to a close friend of her father's being a member of the Durmstrang staff, they finally agreed to send her off. It was the first time she'd ever been aware from her parents.
Her school years, at first, were a challenge. She was loud in class, and often tried to correct the teachers if she was convinced they were wrong, or their oppinions biased. Thankfully, she learned to control these urges after enduring countless detentions. School was never a joy, the girl always counting down the days until she could rejoin her parents on their adventures. Otherwise, her schooling was uneventful.
After graduation, she followed her mother's footsteps, and became a curse breaker. She was a dedicated and enthusiastic curse breaker. She was good too, it was in her blood after all. The experiences of her childhood helped her immensely.
A few months ago though... There was an accident. It was a big job in the Alps. She and several of her fellow curse breakers had made it back to camp with their prize and settled down for the night. They'd head back in the morning. In the night, their camp site was raided by dark wizards, intent on stealing the artifact. They were holding their own, fending off the raiders, until the tent behind Pippa exploded. A week later, she woke up in a hospital, the healers treating her serious burns. Most of her team was slaughtered in the attack, she and only a few others surviving, all badly injured though. In that moment, Phillipa knew her dream was over. Her left arm had taken the most damage, burned almost to the point of being unrecognizable. Being naturally left handed, this was a devastating blow. And it would never fully recover.
She was crushed. In those moments if felt like her life was over. That was when she was approached by Hogwarts. They needed a new History of Magic teacher. With her knowledge, and first hand experience, she was an ideal candidate. She refused, at first. Her, teaching at a school? That wasn't her at all! Until she realized something. If she couldn't continue living her dream, she could pass that dream on to the next generation.
After spending a few months in the hospital, recovering, Phillipa has taken the first steps on her next adventure...
