appearance:
Iggy stands at about 5'3, short in comparison to her full-blood Veela mother. It is possibly her greatest shortcoming, her mother will say. Iggy has sun-kissed white-blond hair that frames an equally pale face. Eyes like two Peridot gems, glittering with intelligence; sprinkled with malevolence. Two plump lips keep pearly white teeth caged, while regulating a whiplash tongue. She has a feminine build, not that of a fully grown woman but; blossoming. All in all she appears as most Veela do with bright blond hair and brighter eyes, just.....shrunk.

overall personality:
Perhaps there was a time when Iggy might have grown up a sweet girl. A child of light and joy, smiles and happiness. Sadly due to her family history and her mothers continued attitude towards her father she is left jaded. Iggy, at face value, may appear innocent but as soon as her lips part nothing but venom is often spewed. She hides deeply behind a veil of anger and fear, lashing out at those around her to keep herself protected from being rejected; now or later. Her abandonment issues have kept her from creating any real friendships so she is often found alone, head in a book on another language or some mysterious item. Preferring to keep to herself rather than bring attention to herself she can remain docile... Unless agitated.
One should not mistake her quiet demeanor for shyness or lack of backbone. Being raised by a pureblood veela, single mom. has left her strong willed and unyielding. If Iggy says this is how it goes, that's how it's going to go. Otherwise there will be hell to pay. Intelligent to a point, Iggy excells in many things language and spell related; at least defensive and offensive magic. Other forms of magic seem to hold a bit of an extra task for her. Though Iggy isn't exactly quick to lose her head that isn't to say she won't on occasion flip her lid if the right buttons are pushed. For instance, mentioning that her father divorced her mother and remarried a pureblood witch within a fortnight. That... That would certainly rile her up. And while she is a witch she was raised by a woman who could not perform the simple magics of a witch, her mother made sure she knew how to use her fists as well, always wanting her beautiful daughter to have a form of self defense.
A loner by nature she isn't exactly the most welcoming person when approached. She can be brash and a bit on the mean side of things. However if one can chip away at the outer layer and manage to creep their way past those guards they'd find that she is fiercely loyal. Her heart isn't rotten, nor does she believe in any sort of purity as she herself is a demi-human. This is one of the reasons she is afraid of House Elves. In her eyes House Elves are one step away from being demi-humans themselves. They could wield magic, so why were they serving witches and wizards? The question haunts her, and makes her wary of anyone who mistreats them even though they frighten the daylights out of her.
When it comes to family life becomes complicated. She holds a few fond memories of her father close to her heart but all in all she is bitter towards him abandoning them and taking up a purebred witch right after. This bitterness has bled into her relationship with her father and his new wife, as well as her half-brother and whatever child was currently waiting to burst from Gen. Her relationship with her mother is even more complicated as she loves her mother dearly, but Lyudmila is overbearing and protective. However she is also judgmental and often too opinionated. She lacks the ability to congratulate her daughter on the smallest things, leaving Iggy feeling as if she is never good enough for her mother.
All in all Iggy appears as if she has confidence through the roof, which is partially true thanks to genetics. However Iggy hasn't ever found anyone who kept her attention longer than a day and a half. She has convinced herself it is simply because she doesn't belong.

history:
Iggy was born to Lyudmila and Tormund Travers, the son of Torvil Travers; the death eater imprisoned for aiding in the murder of the McKinnon family. However she was not born out of love, at least not completely. Lyudmila had met many a wizard in her travels across the globe, hailing from Bulgaria, and she had become obsessed with magic folk; mourning her inability to perform Wizards magic as a Pureblood Veela. She devised a plan at a young age that she would find a wizard of great magic strength and wed him, providing her with a child who would have the best of both worlds. Her ability to charm men would come to her aid in this quest and in a small pub in Kenmare Ireland she came across Tormund Travers. The man was captivated by the tall, slender, Veela woman. He'd heard stories, he'd read books, but he'd never had the pleasure to actually meet one of these mysterious women. Being the proud, young, man he was Tormund thought himself incapable of being enchanted by a Veela woman; believing he was simply falling madly in love with her.
Which wasn't.... completely untrue. Though Lyudmila did use a bit of a push to gain his attention the affection that blossomed between the two of them became real. Their passion connected them deeper and he was convinced that they were meant to be, even if she wasn't a pureblood he had to have her. He had to wed her and spend his life with this ethereal creature. However when he chose to do so many of the Travers family disowned him. The family name was dragged through the mud, called blood-traitors among other very nasty names. Still Tormund stayed with his bride, especially as she would bare his child only a year later. His life never seemed so clear as he stared in the green eyes of his firstborn, and for a time their lives seemed to fall into a routine of peace.... He'd even caught her a Jarvey pup, letting Lyudmila name it after her favorite Quidditch player of all time, Viktor Krum. Life seemed... perfect. Until Iggy got her letter for Hogwarts, then they began receiving hate mail, while Tormund also received false anonymous tips that his beloved was being untrue; selling herself they'd said... Purebloods didn't want a Veela bred child at Hogwarts with their children...
It didn't take long for Tormund to cave, his mind rationalizing these lies becoming enraged by it all. He struck Lyudmila. The proud Veela woman threatened to castrate him while he slept should he lay another hand on her in any such manner. This fight ended so poorly he left in a flurry, drinking himself stupid in the nearest pub that'd have him.
Where he met Genevieve Broadmoor, a pureblood witch with a nasty reputation for her hatred of all things non-witch/wizard. Seeing an opportunity to insert herself into a failing marriage she lead Tormund to her own home in Kenmare, bedding him. Sure to leave a mark on him for his beloved to find. Which he, again, tried to rationalize by accusing her of her supposed philanthropy. Sadly this was the last straw of their marriage and Lyudmila demanded a divorce, though she allowed him to retain that he divorced her. His family cared, hers didn't. Despite the pain he had caused her Lyudmila still loved him, still wanted him to live happily and unburdened.
At least at first...
Up until Tormund married Genevieve two days later, and weeks later she announced that she was with child. The news sent Lyudmila into a deep depression and as a means to seeking some form of reprieve she took her young daughter back to her homeland to be raised there. Gen gave birth to a new Torquil, Tormund pleased to have a son to carry on his name and legacy. His pureblood son gave him his status back, leaving Iggy a mere stain on their purebred history.
In Bulgaria, though her father would at least send her owls, this was all the interaction she truly had with him save for one Christmas where she met her half brother. This was the first time Iggy was able to meet her fathers new family and it was one of the worst experiences of her entire life, though she'd missed Ireland greatly. She remains living with her mother when not in school, though now as she is looking to graduate the young teen is trying to figure out just what her next step should be. Her mother would gladly allow her to stay with her until the end of time but Iggy wanted to live her own life, make her own mistake; though hopefully not quite the "her father" type levels.
site events reaction:
In Iggys fifth year the murders of muggles began. Though she was not born of any muggle blood it kept Iggy fearful for herself. It was, perhaps, one of the only times she boasted her bloodline to the Travers family. After all they were of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, surely that would keep her safe. When Eileen came out to be the culprit, one of her very own Slytherins, at that, Iggy was both relieved and disgusted. Though she hails from a purist family Iggy holds no ill will towards those who are half blood, or even muggle-born. Though as a means to please her father she would never speak this aloud. But where one disaster died down with her escape, another rose to take it's place. Her school year ended with a "Bang" so to speak as Kings Cross itself became a target and the Purifiers destroyed a vast portion of the station before the arrival of the Express.
Her next school year seemed relatively event-less save for the Triwizard Tournament, Iggy not even being of age to participate in the first place she was simply pleased to watch others put themselves in harms way. It all seemed to be returning to the peaceful existence they'd come to know until it came time for each school to make their departure. Both schools forms of transport were bombed, sparking Iggy to think that Eileen had returned once more to tear down the walls of Hogwarts out of spite. Instead it was the Kraken who took credit for this act of terror. This lead to Iggy once more boasting her Travers name in hopes of keeping herself immune to any Purifiers or Kraken for that matter; not exactly understanding what it was she was supposed to be in support of.
School this year would prove to be an even greater challenge as Illvermorny too felt the wrath of a terrorist organization so Iggy was forced to mingle with even more strange new faces. This only served to annoy her, but nothing too great. She even managed to befriend a few, accompanying them to Hogsmeade to show them the great things about the magical little town. Unfortunately this is also when the dragons fell upon the town, trapping herself and another student in the shrieking shack. It wasn't until everything died down that the true horrors were found out. Between the injured and now traumatized more bad news would reign as word that her grandfather had escaped Azkaban. The grandfather that had never been too pleased about having a halfling granddaughter with a "beast". Iggy flew into a panic, heading straight for the owls to warn her mother and hope that it got to her in time before the outbreak of Hags Fever had taken over; locking the entire isle down.
Now she is stuck, suffering with her classmates as she hopes that no one she loves is harmed or becomes ill. Or worse... Her grandfather comes to try and murder her.
The joys of being a Travers...
