xxxThere is a very thin line between 'bravery' and 'stupidity', and more often than not Misha has crossed that line to be labelled the latter. He's very much someone who acts before thinking, jumping full force into a challenge without analysing the possible consequences of his actions. Often times he'll land on his feet, fast reflexes, a friendly persona, and more than a little luck helping the young man come out alright. And, whenever luck isn't on his side, there is that optimistic streak to Misha that allows him to see the silver-lining.
xxxWhile Misha is undeniably gifted at flying, and most sports, his academic record has never been as smooth. He finds it difficult to stay seated for any significant length of time, his attention wanders and his hands start to fidget. Misha's talents do not lie in the subjects which required methodical learning and memorisation, the book subjects if you will. Those subjects were where his lack of patience and unwillingness to learn the basic steps first resulted in a less than desirable grade. That's not to say that the Russian native is dimwitted, for he has a startling propensity towards dramatic spells, the ones which will burn your eyebrows off if you get too close. He's fast at spell casting, if unnecessarily noisy, and while not the most accomplished of duellists, he can readily hold his own.
xxxRegardless of his varying magical talents, it's undeniable that Misha is a friendly individual. There's usually a dimpled smile on his face and a welcome word to friends. Never one to shy away from a social situation, he's usually the first to strike up conversation. Making friends has never been difficult for the young wizard, and of those friends he values highest they will know that having Misha on your side can be valuable. He's loyal to a fault, and brave (or thoughtless) enough to jump in to defend a friend against any foe. A good sense of humour is a sure way into Misha's good books, not to mention a fondest for everything quidditch. While Misha has never been the most flirtatious of individuals, he does enjoy a good banter with a few attractive souls.
xxxOf course, under the bubbly mask is a slightly different Mikhail. The competitive nature that saw him strive to be the best in quidditch, now watches the witches and wizards who used to be his teammates with hints of envy. Even his optimism can't completely hide the heartbreak that hit him when his career came to an abrupt halt. He'll hide his disappointment behind a wide smile and wave aside questions about how he is. On the days when his injuries are causing him more strife than normal, he'll take a deep breath and remind himself that at least the accident didn't take his looks. A smile and a wink at his reflection in a mirror is usually enough to have Misha's mask back in place, almost enough to even fool himself.

xxxxBorn in a time when pregnant women out of wedlock were shunned and ostracised, Mikhail might very well have grown up an outcast with his young mother. Yet, the first few years of his life were spent in the luxury of his pureblooded grandparents manor. They were slightly more progressive than their muggle peers, or perhaps they merely wished to hide away their daughter's shame. It wasn't until Mikhail's father, a man who had left his mother the moment she declared she was pregnant with his child, reappeared that Mikhail and his mother were thrown out. For, while a child out of wedlock might have been barely acceptable by the Vasilievs, a child born to a muggle was not. Ariana was struck from the family record, as was Misha, and it would only be years later as his flying talents became apparent that the Russian branch of his family would reach out to claim him.
xxxxMisha doesn't know how long his father stuck around, all he knows is that eventually his mother revealed herself to be a witch, and he left again. This time, for good. So, for the majority of his later life, Misha was raised by his young mother. It wasn't always ideal, while his mother was talented, she was also brash and her temper quick to flare. While her temper was rarely aimed at Misha, it did find its target in several employers who were always quick to shake off the witch after such explosions. The mother and son duo moved around often, going wherever Ariana might find work.
xxxxMisha attended Durmstrang for the first half of his official education. Despite claims from pureblooded elitists that his muggle father would dampen his magic, Misha's spells were always powerful. 'Uncontrolled', 'overly-energetic' and 'dangerous' were words thrown around by the teachers, possibly due to Misha's inclination to cast large, explosive spells (they were the fun ones) and worry about the results later. Luckily, Misha found an excellent outlet for his energy, and a hobby that let him satiate the thrill-seeker within him; quidditch. Misha took to flying like a fish to water, and the only thing that kept him from making captain of the Durmstrang team was his transfer to Hogwarts at the start of his sixth year.
xxxxThe move came after his mother had fallen in love with an English wizard, whom she would never marry, but is still with to this day. Misha's twin sisters were born a few years later. While Durmstrang wasn't particularly strict on overly-dangerous spells, Hogwarts' rules were slightly more cautionary, and Misha learned to control his magic to a finer degree. Of course, the young man joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was thrilled to be among the winning team for both of the years he attended the school. From school he was recruited first to the Tutshill Tornados, before changing to Puddlemere United. He was, by all accounts, tooted to be the next big name in quidditch, until a flying accident saw Mikhail forced to sit out the season.
xxxxThe 'temporary' break continued through to the next season, and Misha was forced to face the fact that he might never return to playing professional quidditch. Disappointed, but determined that he would eventually, one day, return to the field, Misha accepted a role within the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Games and Sports. Perhaps he's not the most dedicated worker, nor the smartest, but he has a passion for quidditch unmatched by many, and experience in the game that is invaluable. Though he walks with a slight limp, and his left hand sometimes acts up, Misha still flies whenever he can, a needed outlet least he drive the office crazy with his restless fidgeting.

PREVIOUS OCCUPATION:
Misha was previously the rising star of the Puddlemere United Quidditch team, where he played as Chaser. Tipped to be a shoo-in for the national team, a bad injury has seen Misha forced to take a possibly permanent break from playing the sport professionally. The slight limp he walks with, not always apparent, wouldn't have kept him from the game, but problems with his left hand meant gripping the broom and catching quaffles is extremely difficult.
