overall personality:
Born out of her family’s over-protectiveness, is the young woman’s incredibly stubborn and sarcastic persona, which also resulted in her being a very caring and compassionate persona. For her friends and family, Alyona is willing to go to extreme lengths, and sometimes this is seen as recklessly, putting herself in danger, thus, usually leaving the people who care for her extremely worried and exasperated. Alyona’s persona is also partnered with being extraordinarily clever and quick-thinking, which often saves herself and others in dire situations. Not only is she stubborn, but she is also headstrong and has a very fiery personality.
After the death of her mother and father, Alyona became a shell of her former self. While she is still a very hard working, patient and loyal person, there is a darker part of her. She rather kills than be killed, and is seen as very apathetic. She’s incredibly resourceful and intelligent, especially in both muggle subjects and the wizarding world, something that makes her an asset when it comes to building her bombs. Alyona has no care for the lives of those around her, as long as she is alive and thriving, the lives of others are like that of a rat in a science experiment.
Because of her loyal nature, if she feels that she has been betrayed or manipulated, she will do the same to others. She is exceptionally cunning and manipulative herself, but she is also broken and destroyed. She doesn’t trust easily, especially after everything she’s been through. She can also be seen as quite gullible and naïve, but she usually hides them very well.

history:
Born in the heart of Russia to a wealthy pureblood mob boss, was none other than the daughter of Vladimir Ivanova and his wife, Astrid Ivanova. Upon her birth, along with that of her twin brother, Alyona Ivanova was a beautiful bundle of joy. At the time of her birth, the young Alyona was set to be wed to a young man of a fellow pureblood family, a young boy by the name of Egor, a boy that was, at least, five years older than the recently born Alyona. As time moved on and the business of the Ivanova’s boomed, selling of illegal substances, deaths of thousands of muggles, and even that of stealing and selling historical wizard technology. Thus, both Alyona and Andrei were trained under their father, taught the ways of running their family business – together. It was destined at the beginning of their life that Andrei would take over the industry and Alyona would marry into a respectable family, and that was almost to become true. That was until their mother, Astrid, was killed in their very own home, and their number one suspect – Egor’s family. It was in that moment that Vladimir quickly took back his offer of Alyona’s hand in marriage, and once more the families fell into a deadly feud…one that killed many in the crossfire.
As time went on, and the life of the Ivanova family changed dramatically, and at the age of two, Alyona learned that her father had cancer. Many of the members of the mob begged Vladimir to get treatment, to be cured by magical means, but he was done with life. He wanted to return to the Heavens where he believed his wife to be, and thus, ignored the treatments that many wanted him to take. Given only a few months to live, Vladimir grew closer to his children and arranged for a respectable family to take them once he was dead, however, this would never come to pass. For the next two years, longer than Vladimir had been given or wanted, he knew his time was coming. At the age of six, Alyona’s father already picked a successor to take over the business until Andrei and Alyona became of age.
It wasn’t until Alyona and Andrei were at the age of five, that their life was once again thrust into the fire. While Andrei was out with a family friend, Alyona was at home with her father. It was in this home that Alyona and her father were playing a game of chess, her father’s favorite pastime that he obtained while dying for the last three years. And it was during this game of chess, that their house was attacked from the inside. Quickly, Vladimir hid his daughter in the closet, telling her to stay there until he told her to leave, and then he was killed. The sound of someone yelling foreign words was enough to scare Alyona into coming out of her hiding spot, finding her father on the floor, unmoving and his eyes lifeless. It wasn’t long before she fell to the ground, that the house began to go up in flame – and it didn’t take long for Andrei to save her from the flames and bring her to safety outside.
Because the two children, at only five, were found wandering around the city they lived in, they were picked up by local law enforcement and taken in for questioning about the burning building. Unable to pinpoint the family they were supposed to live with, they were sent to the local wizarding orphanage where they stayed for a little over a year. At the age of six, however, they were adopted by a family over in Europe that enjoyed saving children that were in desperate need of some love – and luckily, they were okay with adopting twins to add to their small family of four. The Allen family, Michael and his lovely squib wife, already had two older children and were pregnant with another when they brought Andrei and Alyona to London.
Alyona, feeling alienated from the rest of the family, stayed at her brother’s side until they finally warmed up to them. It took about five years before Alyona stopped speaking in Russian around the rest of her family, and when she received her letter to Hogwarts once she turned eleven.
When the time came for the two to go to Hogwarts, they were sadly ripped apart by different houses. Her brother had gone to Gryffindor while she had been thrust into Hufflepuff, a horrid choice but something that she quickly fell into. Sometimes she would even speak in Russian to get people to leave her alone, she knew English (she knew many languages) but her native tongue was a security blanket. For the next seven years, the two of them continued their schooling and made a handful of friends. After graduation from Hogwarts, Alyona decided to continue her education in a muggle college, where for the next five years she studied both mathematics, physics and engineering. It was in 2016 that she graduated from the college in London with a degree in Engineering with a minor in Physics and Mathematics.
For the next seven years, Alyona fell down a dark path. Her brother, during her time studying, had returned to the home in Russia and learned the truth of their heritage and the fact that they were not of tainted blood, something that they barely remembered after the traumatic experience. Alyona returned to Russia to see her brother and quickly was thrust back into the world of the mob, and Alyona was the weapons master. Using her degree and her magic, she created not only magical guns but also bombs, bombs that confused even her brother. She had mixed both the magic and the muggle within it, and they conquered anyone that got into their way. She was the creator and he was the leader, they were the perfect pair – at least, until he married a woman he fell in love with and produced an heir. Alyona, feeling slightly betrayed by her brother, went off on her own. It was during one of her jobs that she was met with Elaine, a Purifier from London who recruited her. At first, Alyona was hesitant but she felt a draw to Elaine and her cause, and thus, followed suit over to London.
It was in 2023 that Alyona’s bomb was first used in London, the attack on King’s Cross Station. Her second bomb was for the attack on the Beauxbatons carriage and Durmstrang ships. The disappearance of Harry Potter, the destruction of the Order into two separate groups, all hell is breaking lose. The attack on Ilvermorny was by no means the work of Alyona’s creations, but who knows if one of them were stolen and used in American – Alyona will never know truly, and to be honest, she doesn’t care.
Each day she perfects her bombs to the point that the muggles she tests on cannot defuse the bomb. She’s like Jigsaw, except there is no escape.
site events reaction:
everything that has happened since the explosion at king's cross station, has been the dault of alyona. or at least, some of them have. the explosion that killed those exchange students after that tournament? that was alyona. the explosion that happened at ilvermorny? that could have been here, but who knows. while the attacks, the killings, the explosions have been the work of her group, they haven't exactly openly affected her. she caused some of them, yes, but she feels no empathy towards the victims or their loved ones. when in doubt...blame alyona's bombs.
