Personality;
Ivanova is tough and sarcastic. She usually puts her works before everything, including breaking up with Malcon Briggs originally because she had a new job at the Io transfer station. She considered it a good career move and told him later that she didn’t regret it, even if she cried every night for a month. It is her dedicated attitude that brought her to rank of Commander before the age of thirty. She does break the rules when necessary, including growing a coffee plant in hydroponics for her own personal use.
With subordinates she is fair, but also harsh, and she has little patience for fools or conmen. Her subordinates respect her, but many also seem to fear her. She is not above threatening to tear someone’s lungs out with her bare hands, and she apparently threw a man out of a three story building and into a swimming pool. She also considered assassinating a psicorps representative on station before Sheridan stopped her. While she is sometimes willing to bend the rules, she is loyal to her commander and her friends to a fault, and does not compromise on her greater principles. This is why she chose to follow Captain Sheridan over Earthforce.
Love has been the millstone around her neck, and she seems doomed to tragedy on that front. After her mother and brother died, she became estranged from her father and didn’t speak to him until he was dying. On his deathbed, he begged her for forgiveness, but she couldn’t say it before he died. Romantically, she personally arrested her first love, Malcolm, for terrorism, and her second romantic interest was mindwiped by the psicorps and became her enemy. She was only beginning to return Marcus’s love for her when he died to save her. She remarks in the series that she believes that all love is unrequited.
She has a strong sense of ethnic pride, and is fond of quoting Russian parables. This may have been born of her asserting her culture while living abroad for most of her young life. She is a bit more ambivalent about her religion, because her father was so religious. She does still practice, and lights candles or Sabbath in her quarters.
Ivanvoa’s worst fear is to be discovered as a telepath. It would mean the end of her career and her freedom. As a child, she saw her mother mentally disintegrate from the sleepers used to repress her telepathic ability. Even though she trusts the other command staff with her life, the only person in series that she ever tells is Sheridan, and during this she is visibly shaking and terrified.

Jul. 18th, 2011 12:20 am[It's raining out, but it always seems to be raining out lately. It fits the mood anyway. Nothing like heading out into the world to spin my wheels for a bit and pretend that maybe, somewhere, I'm going to make a difference. Not even the rain washes the city clean, it's rotten from within and it stinks to high heaven.
But what else can a cop do?
Tonight 've got business besides being a cop though, I have certain people I need to meet, although I'm not looking forward to it.]
[Ivanova is in the bar again, basically bored out of her mind.]
I know there are a lot of kids and teenagers there, but there is a bar in Wonderland now. I'm starting to think that the people over 20 should have some kind of get together. Assuming, of course, that there still is anyone here that's out of high school.
I really shouldn't be feeling old.
Hissing, he holds the injury with her other hand. Although in a few minutes she's more shocked by the fact that she has formed red lion's claws on the injured hand out of her blood. The surprisecauses the sin to fail and turn back to blood which then spatters on the floor.]
The book didn't tell us about that.

May. 23rd, 2011 10:20 pmThose who know the city in the modern day might still recognize the historical buildings and the skyline, but the brilliant lights and the spaceport take up a large amount of space. The buildings she remembers most clearly, such as the spaceport and the temple show up in starker detail than others.]

May. 15th, 2011 03:17 am[Currently, she is walking alone on the paths through the hedgemaze. She isn't exactly avoiding anyone, but it's not like she wouldn't be relieved to be left alone for the time being.]
Physical Health and Russian [Action]
May. 6th, 2011 05:11 pmPhysical health students will be clocked for the run today.
All Russian language students are expected to have their translation worksheets turned in at the beginning of the class period.
[OOC: Ivanova still does not have complete control of her greatly expanded powers, but she is no longer suffering mind seizures. She may accidentally read thoughts or emotions from people close to her.]

[Ivanova was up late, sipping coffee as she looked over her paperwork. And then the event hits. It's not so much that she knows it's an event, since her memories were changed in an instant.
It's the sudden cacophony of noise.
Like a hundred people in a crowded gym all started shouting at once, while a thousand different monitors started running behind her eyes and began switching channels so rapidly that she couldn't keep up.
ivanova puts her hands over her ears, falls out of the chair and screams.]
[OOC: Ivanova has gone from limited telepath to powerful telepath. She's experiencing a sensory overload known as a mindburs tin Babylon 5 canon, which means she is hearing input from almost everyone in her immediate vicinity. Most of what she hears will not be processed coherently. If you want her to pick up something from you, you can post it below. Your character may or may not notice that she's read your mind at all.
She's probably going to need help from some form of mentalist to get herself under control.
Feel free to action.]
[Action/Video?] OPEN

[Maybe it was only the wind...]
[OOC: Basically, Ivanova has cracked and is now hunting. She's an old school vampire, which means turning into mist, mind control, and not being able to enter without being invited. She's trying to summon someone nommable from inside, and she may or may not kill them.]

What the hell?
