CHILDHOOD. | Iwona's childhood was as unusual as it came. Her mother was an assassin working in the Přesýpací Hodiny circle; an organized crime circle active in mid and east Europe. They travel around, never staying in one spot too long. They do all kinds of things; assassinations, illegal trades and black market health care. To her mother getting pregnant was inconvenient, she doesn't even know who the father of her child is. It could very much be one of her clients or one of her victims. If it weren't for the fact she didn't know she was pregnant up till the point she went in labor, she likely would have gotten an abortion.
Since caring for a child would get in the way of the job, the little girl was taken in by the Black-Alley surgeon Boris. An elderly muggle who would serve as her sole parental figure. He'd also be the one to teach Iwona all about muggle medicine and she would be his assistant the moment she could stand and hold things for him. Thus she became an expert at a young age.
Even if things between Boris and Iwona were good, the environment which she grew up in was a dangerous place for a child. She saw things at a young age no adult should even witness. Iwona believes this likely messed with her head which is why she feels desensitised all the time. She rarely gets shocked or frightened which is good for the job but can be dangerous for her as she often underestimates the danger she is in.
Not all the members were keen on having a child around who was a risk of ratting her out. The only person she had around her age was a nine year older girl; Nika who was the daughter of the big boss. They became like sisters as they were the only children and among the few magic users.
|
YEAR 01. | As she turned eleven, Iwona was set to go to Koldovstoretz to learn to control her magic. Boris also wanted her to learn all about magic healing so she could combine the practice and help him out. She had a hard time relating to her class mates who came from totally different worlds.
|
YEAR 02. | Boris became sick and Iwona had a hard time going to school as she just wanted to go home to take care of her dad. Seeing him look worse each time during the break broke her heart.
|
YEAR 03. | At will of her father figure; she made sure to pick all the classes needed to become a healer. While she was on top of her class in healing all her other subjects had quite average grades.
|
YEAR 04. | Boris would die in this year. Nika decided to take Iwona and move to London; Knockturn Alley together after she had a fight with her parents. Nika continued her trade in illegal items and Iwona set up a small medical room. Since she couldn't use magic out of school yet, Iwona focussed on the muggle practice. She was only fifteen years old and a lot of people didn't feel too comfortable being operated on by a fifteen year old so she had few clients in the beginning.
|
YEAR 05. | Despite moving to London, Iwona stayed at Koldovstoretz as she couldn't speak English yet. All the time she didn't spend on school was spend on studying English. Nika got a relationship with one of the local shop owners called Vito. While Iwona wasn't to keen on sharing her sister with someone else, the connection did finally bring clients to her practice.
|
YEAR 06.
| Iwona got her first boyfriend, he was a werewolf two years older than her who had landed on her table after a bad full moon. What she thought was a romantic adventure was more toxic than she had signed up for. While he was sweet at all times, he barely left her alone. The boy was so madly in love that he became possessive and did anything not to lose her. He even decided to 'mark' her by biting her while he was in human shape, knowing these marks couldn't heal. Iwona's love turned to hate but she wasn't sure what she could do, fearing what would happen to her if she broke up with him.
|
YEAR 07.
| As the Cremation started snatching people, Iwona finally saw a chance to get rid of her boyfriend. Nika was working as a snatcher for the organisation and Iwona's boyfriend was one of the first people to end up in the Prison. This came as a huge relief to Iwona. This was also the time that Nika and Vito broke up because of their disagreements on the matter. It is even speculated that Nika was involved in all the disappearances happening among Knockturn. While Ivona had been happy to see her boyfriend gone but the moment people she cared for started disappearing, Nika and Iwona started fighting more. Until one day Nika would no longer be coming home.
Graduating school wasn't her priority but she still managed to do it

ADULTHOOD. | After the Prison break out happened, she got notified that Nika had been arrested and would be spending there rest of her life in Azkaban. She had also been notified the young man she had been dating was found among the deceased.
Iwona would continue working as a Doctor as it's all she had ever known. She hasn't been in a relationship since but she does enjoy an occasion hook up or something casual. The scar on the shoulder where her ex boyfriend had left a mark got covered up with an ornament consisting of roses and thorns. |
