✷ Height: 5'7 [] 170cm

✷ Appearance & Aesthetic:
Nadia's appearance was relatively genuine, although leaning towards unkept. She had acne scars lining her temples and subtle blemishes on several areas of her pale face. Her face itself was quite sharp feature-wise, with thick trimmed eyebrows and deep-set eyes. Her hair remained fresh in its color, from observation frequently dyed, although usually its waves were a little matted at the ends. She was built with a fit stature, some muscle definition visible on her legs and arms, whilst her torso remained relatively soft stomached.
Nadia's body was littered with small tattoos, all of birds; crows, quails, seagulls, you name it. They trailed from her neck, to her bust, to her arms, to her love handles, to her thighs and to her feet, leaving her stomach and lower chest clean. Her nails were jagged from biting, subtle teeth marks on the dead skin around them. She wore some soft gray eyeshadow which she smeared on her eyelids, and dark eyeliner which she seemed to only had run down her lower lid.
As for what she wore, Nadia's clothing consisted of simplicity with an edge, usually leaning towards grunge or streetwear; mostly flannels, leather, denim, and sometimes something more feminine like silk. She usually littered her hands with intricate cheap rings and bracelets, and sometimes a earth toned kandi piece or two.
✷ Hobbies:
SCRAPBOOKING: As a family-knit individual, Nadia wouldn't like to admit it, but she reminisced a lot. When she moved to Karakura in pursuit of individuality, she packed suitcases to the brims in small pocket-sized notebooks to encyclopedia sized scrapbooks, every page filled with notes, trinkets, and pictures, all ranging from big moments to small, Nadia had them pasted in her books for her to look back on. Some of them seemed meaningless, like her brother's old baseball glove that had ripped at the seem, hardly held on the page with duct tape stuck across it, making the entire scrapbook refuse to lay flat. Some seemed eventful, would be A three-day waiver, the one she would sign when let out of the mental hospital while in the process of being diagnosed.
HIKING + RUNNING: As a child, Nadia enjoyed strolls and jogs. Ever since she could waddle on her own, she'd sprint, even if she fell. Her mother teased her for her ambition, referring to it as an antelope whom just discovered its legs. Her mother often used primitive or animalistic metaphors to explain such human behaviors to her children. As Nadia reached her teenage years, she slowed down, but still enjoyed a gentle walk when she felt solemn, or a unplaced run when she felt energetic. She also loved to explore wherever she could. This usually ended up with her injuring something, leading to a mildly accident-prone future, but she never seemed to quit.
✷ Disorders: Ever since her middle school years, Nadia has remained to live with bipolar I disorder, experiencing both mania and depressive states. Admitted by her mother, her diagnosis was confirmed after spending 96 hours in the nearest mental hospital, after experiencing particularly self-endangering depressive symptoms. They concluded since her spouts of depression were irregular and she also expressed symptoms of mania that would occur at random that this disorder suited her behavior.

SVETLANA GENINA DOBRINKSY:
- VERY CLOSE
- MOTHER
Svetlana Dobrinksy was born and raised in Penza, and resided there till her early twenties. She fell in love with a young Japanese man come abroad. Within months of his stay, they married. She fell pregnant with her first child and only son, Igor, when they traveled back to Yokohama, Japan together, and she gave birth to him when they settled down there. The family lived in solitude for a few years, but Svetlana soon realized her husband wasn't good for her, often leaving her alone at in the eve' to attend what he claimed were business conferences, coming home drunk and deadbeat, sometimes even to the point he'd forget to cover up evidence of his infidelity. Svetlana filed for a divorce after the clues started tallying up, and left with her three year old son to live in cheap share house. She fell pregnant with a second child to her long-term partner at that time, another local of Yokohama. She gave birth to Nadia soon after she married to this man.
Svetlana and this man had a pleasant marriage, but not a long lasting one. Nadia was barely 5 months old when her father passed due to being caught up in a violent break in and beat to death behind the very shop he worked at. Svetlana became quite depressed from her two failed marriages, but she didn't see her children as a reminder of them, but as a beacon of her care and perseverance. They kept her happy, and she attempted to return that favor as their mother, despite their poverty for the first few years after the passing of Nadia's father. Svetlana got out of her debt through working various jobs, and provided for her children the best she could.
IGOR DOBRINKSY HIGASA:
- CLOSE
- HALF-BROTHER
Igor Dobrinksy was born in 2003, in Yokohama, Japan, as his sister would be years after. Igor's upbringing was rough, finding his mother struggling often, first through the abusive treatment of his father and than the death of his stepfather years later. Igor, when life started to get a bit easier in his early teens, indulged athletic leisure and team sports, such as baseball and skateboarding. His relationship with his close family, such as his mother and sister were fine. He drove his sister home from school most days, so they often got to talk. He also took her to his friends' baseball games occasionally. They quarreled, as any siblings would, but it never drove either one to hate each other.
✷**✷BACKGROUND!!✷**✷: Nadia Dobrinksy was born 2007, August 28th, in Yokohama, as was her brother. The death of her father was fogged from her memory, but she did often wonder if life would have changed at all if he had been around. Her happiest was from elementary to junior year, partially because she was quite sheltered outside of it. Middle school hit like a bus for that reason, exposing her to the shamelessness of people her age. Nadia fell victim to these behaviors a few times, forming an unhealthy bond with one of her brother Igor's friends, whom was about sixteen when he pursued the thirteen year old girl. This lasted the summer, till Igor found out. Feeling used, Nadia told him she'd end the relationship. Igor beat the boy bloody next time he saw him. Around this time, Nadia got admitted for bipolar I, experiencing unusual depressive symptoms, which she didn't even seem to be aware of. Her mother would find her with bruises and scratches, but not from purposefully inflicted self-endangerment. It seemed like she was mindlessly practicing behaviors that harmed her, such as running sticks into her legs when she was outside, and picking endlessly at her skin. When in the mental hospital, she learned that unaware self-endangerment was also a symptom of mania. Understanding her disorder better, Nadia did sometimes look down upon herself. Her mother, however, revealed that it was likely passed down from Nadia's grandmother, whom had bipolar I disorder. She reassured her daughter for years that it would never get in the way of their family or her future. Nadia pondered if this was true, but appreciated her mother's kindness nonetheless. When she turned 18, she expressed her curiosity in starting her adult life outside of Yokohama, saving her expenses to enroll somewhere in Karakura. Accepted by its local academy, she embraced her family for a final time. The transition was a struggle, for she had been so close to her family for her entire life, but she knew she couldn't be tied down to one place forever. She had to lay down the stepping stones.
