My hearts been cauterized
Hanging on to hope
Shackled by the ghost
Of what I once believed
That I could never be"

Personality:
Illiana comes off as very grave and distant at first, if only because she rarely cracks a smile. She finds herself biting her tongue a lot only because her personality that can be misconstrued as bitchy. She has a dry sense of humor, but a big heart. Illiana is fiercely independent, extremely ambitious, persistent, and determined.
Illiana is also very flexible she is able to re-survey any situation and take a different approach if necessary, which sometimes makes her come off as manipulative though that is not her intent. She is the clearest of thinkers, looking at a project from all sides and putting forth some logical and well-thought-out ideas. She tends to bring her objective reasoning and big-picture ability to the table. While some may perceive all this logical thought as cold and unemotional, it's simply how Illiana ticks.
Illiana is a true artists, but not necessarily in the typical sense where she’s out painting happy little trees. Often enough though, she is perfectly capable of this. Rather, it's that she uses aesthetics, design and even their choices and actions to push the limits of social convention. Illiana enjoys upsetting traditional expectations with experiments in beauty and behavior.
She lives in a colorful, sensual world, inspired by connections with people and ideas. Illy takes joy in reinterpreting these connections, reinventing and experimenting with both herself and new perspectives. This creates a sense of spontaneity, making Illy seem unpredictable, even to their close friends and loved ones.
Despite all this, Illy is definitely Introverts, surprising her friends further when she steps out of the spotlight to be by herself to recharge. Rather than dwelling on the past or the future, Illy thinks about who she is. She returns from her cloister, transformed. Illiana lives to find ways to push her passions always taking things to the next level.
All in all Illiana is very deep, intense person, there is always more than meets the eye. She presents a cool, detached, and unemotional air to the world yet lying underneath is tremendous power, extreme strength, intense passion and a strong will and a persistent drive.

History:
Illiana was born and left on the door step of St. Agnes church in Sahka (Yakutia) Russia. She was raised in an orphanage by the Catholic Nuns, until she was adopted at the age of 4 by a young same sex couple who struggled to conceive on their own (with sperm injections).
Adrianna and Cenna, Illiana's moms where kind, and generous souls. She had a wonderfully strong relationship with both of her parents, though she bonded more with her mother Adrianna. For a while everything was good.
Though Illiana was an only child she found she adapted really well. She learned English relatively easily, and joined many clubs and sports such as debate club and soccer. Illiana did not really fit in however. She tended to lean towards spending more time with herself and her books than making friends. Most people did not know that she had same sex parents, it didn't really come up in what little conversations she had with others.
Adrianna was diagnosed with cervical cancer in April. She held out for many months, through chemotherapy and Naturopaths, really anything she could try. She ended up passing away peacefully in her sleep on September 10th the day of Illiana's birthday. Illiana refused to succumb to the depression that eats at her every day after her mothers death. She buried herself in her work and in her studies.
After Adrianna passed Cenna and Illiana struggled to make ends meet, between medical bills and living expenses. Illiana got a job at the local bookstore, and Cenna worked double shifts as a nurse. Illiana's relationship with Cenna became strained. They hardly saw each-other, and when they did they fought without Adrianna to keep the peace.
She had submitted an essay on the off chance she would get accepted so when Illiana got accepted into Crossroads Academy on a scholarship for writing nothing could have surprised and excited her more. She was determined to become the best she could be and take care of her wonderful mother.

. I'm totally down to help you set him up though. I can lie and tell him that you're about to leave campus for some reason, and that I left my key in our dorm and you have it but that I need him to take it from you before you leave since I'm busy helping that crazy sister of mine with something, if that makes sense. I'm sure he'll fall for it. We can do it whenever you get down to the barbecue if you want
