Idina Morozov

---

A cool-headed, principled guard who epitomizes discipline, loyalty, and professionalism above all else. Despite her frosty demeanor and dry wit, she is honor-bound not only to protect her superiors but also all those who lay in the path of injustice.

Even her Specter resembles a traditional, ivory noble steed.

• Knighthood in the British monarchical sense never appealed to Idina; rather, she values the traditional code of conduct befitting a noble, which includes using ones power to change the course of history for the better.
  • She also has no issue serving the powerful as long as she has some role in maintaining the peace. She admits that she is better on the front lines rather than at a podium.
• Even though the Morozovs bear striking resemblance to each other, they are not related by blood. Idina’s parents were unable to conceive, so they decided to adopt children who showed the greatest potential as heirs. The oldest Morozov, Diana, is the only child sharing their parents’ ethnicity (Russian).
• Equestrianism was Idina’s main pastime growing up. Several horses reside at the Morozov estate, and she quickly grew familiar with each of them.
  • Her favorite is a white horse named Zavoyevaniye. However, it took many years to tame this stallion, as it was incredibly belligerent around anyone other than its groomer. Idina confesses that it still fights her now and then, though she will never give up on it.
• Prior to her current occupation as her sister's assistant, she considered a career in fencing. Historical European martial arts (particularly swordsmanship) has always been the basis of her self-defense skills.
• Educated by private tutors rather than in an institution, Idina grew fascinated with the ‘public school’ and often requested to visit them as a child. She admits that a life surrounded by peers sounded much more ideal than one of superiority and isolation.
  • One of her most notable trips was to Letterpal, Kansas. She says that this particular visit inspired a sense of purpose in her.
• Rather than fraternizing at social events like her sister, Idina tends to stand in the corner of the room and stare intensely at others. It isn’t that she lacks politeness, but that her sharp instincts compel her to attack anything that could be perceived as a threat. As a result, she believes it’s better for herself (and others) that she remains in the periphery. It doesn’t help that crowds only worry her.
• One trait that feeds into her ‘cold-hearted’ appearance is her resting face. By default, she wears a rather stern, stoic expression. She seems to have trouble smiling naturally, as it always looks awkward on her.
  • Diana jokes that she was born with a Frown Frozen Into Her.
• For her weapon of choice, she owns a blade that resembles both a cavalry lance and a saber. It’s quite long and tends to stick out in the sheath she carries. But she goes everywhere with it.
• Per Morozov tradition, Idina was taught to excel at chess from a young age. Her style of play is particularly quick, so she tends to win by parrying her opponents and using the timer to her advantage rather than using offensive maneuvers.
• Residing with the Morozovs were two servants - the gentle, devout caretaker Pille and the bodyguard Norgintas, who towered over people with an intimidating stature. The children were accompanied by one or both in the continued absence of adult supervision.
  • The two still occupy the old manor today, even after Idina and Diana moved out.
  • Idina notes that her parents only had the two servants because they were deeply fearful of sabotage. Thus, they placed their trust in a select few. Diana would continue the tradition, since she relies solely on Idina for clerical and personal duties.
• One of Idina's closest companions, Undine Belafonte, is her personal stylist for formal events. Undine tends to understand and accommodate Idina’s taste (unlike Diana, who insists upon her own luxurious style).
  • In exchange, Idina has to put up with Undine’s insatiable admiration for said luxurious starlet.
• Morozovs, historically, have a high chance of inheriting mental conditions that evoke hallucinations. Idina is one such example, as she claims to have received visions and heard voices ever since she was a child; however, she cites their presence as a comfort, as she believes they are her ancestors (and powers greater than man) guiding her. They seem to firm her resolve more than any living person.
• Idina’s bodyguard code prioritizes defending her target above all else, so only a few encounters with paparazzi have managed to escalate into physical combat. Many cameras, microphones, and rude reporters have fallen to her blade.
  • Fortunately, Diana’s influence is strong enough to dissuade public backlash and legal threats.
• She likes to rove locations Diana frequents in her spare time. She claims it’s out of reconnaissance, but Diana insists that her sister is a wanderer at heart. If Idina weren’t at Diana’s side, she’d be searching for people to protect elsewhere. Unfortunately, as Diana’s most trusted and only guard, she rarely has the opportunity.
• Ears trained and honed from private lessons in childhood, Idina has a musical side to her that she rarely shows, even to friends. Rumors have circulated that her and Diana’s appearances in the audience of musical theater productions are due to Idina’s interest, not her sister’s.
