Nadia Svana (AQUAVIA)

She's an averaged sized young girl, shorter than most men, but moderately tall for a young lady. She stands proudly and if it weren't for the insistence of her family that she dress ladylike, she would be easily passed for a boy. As the eldest daughter of a president of a production and innovative entertainment company, she is expected to represent everything they stand for, meaning it's not uncommon to see her in odd costumes and representing the ideal Aquavian model, woman or flesh doll. Her clothing of preference however is rather hipster like. She likes wearing jean shorts or capris, but its not often she's in the possession of them, so she makes due with cut offs and the costumes she's allowed. She often goes out in disguise so she can just be herself but her father's personal paid guard is never too far away. 

She always feels more comfortable in the disguises than she does in her flamboyant and eye catching costumes but she does a great job of hiding it. Nadia is well bred and while she can easily hold her own in a dress, but sneakers and casual clothes are more her personal preference. At times she is a little embarrassed because her younger sister is the princess type and doesn't mind the attention where as she would have never wanted it to start with.

Nadia is a tomboy and if she had been left to be herself, she would have grown up carefree and wild. However, fate is not so kind and as the elder sister of two in her father's footsteps, she had to work her hardest to uphold the family appearance. It's fine, she was taught, for a young boy to rise up into the company but a girl? It simply isn't done. So she was bred for one purpose and one only. To attract a suitable, intellegent, rich young man to the company to inherit. A breeding she has dispised to the point that there had been rumors that she was lesbian. 

These rumors had never been true however. Nadia was a young woman and she had found she entertained the idea of having a young man at her side. However, every marriage meeting her father had arranged ended in complete failure due to the very simple fact. Nadia does not like to be controlled and she diliberately will fight to show any potential husband her true self so that he will know that he's not getting a flower, he's getting a woman. This has caused many an uproar and awkward situation with all the high bred young men her father presents her with.

As years have continued, Nadia had only mellowed slightly in the interests of her sister, who has been recently presented into the limelight as an Idol as well. Nadia is a loving sister and doesn't want Philamena to have to deal with the same kind of treatment and forcible command she has. She uses her ability to control her personality to attract attention away from her sister and keep her save, hoping that maybe there's a chance she'll get a happy life.

GOALS & SECRETS:

Idol - As and Idol, Nadia has several abilities she's been tirelessly trained for. Singing and voice talents are one, dancing is another. She performs often so these skills must be kept well honed so that she doesn't injure herself. 

martial arts - as part of her idol training, she has been loosely trained in defensive martial arts both to keep her in shape and just in case the unthinkable should happen. It's one of the few parts of her training she enjoys as she gets to release all her pent up frustration into training.

Instruments - Though she wasn't trained extensively in any one instrument, Nadia can play most common things such as flutes, recorders, the piano and guitar to a certain degree of proficancy so that she might represent her father's company.

• her sister

During the days of Nadia's childhood, there were many moments she would gloss out of her memory. Her mother's death wasn't one of them. Her mother had died protecting her and her sister from gang members that had broken into the house, not realizing there were still people home. Or maybe they had known. THey had never been caught.

From that day forward, Nadia was the woman of the house. She was treated like a woman and had the responsibilities of a woman. However, she hadn't really had the chance to grow up. Then one day, the tutors started dressing her and modling her for her debut, as if it were perfectly expected that the  first born would be on stage representing her father as best she could, even if she was only an elementary school aged student. 

At first it was fun. Loads of fun. She accepted it for a while. Then her manager, then a male, had grabbed her... it had startled her. She'd screamed and her father's guards were on him in a minute. After it was over, her father had never asked or cared how she'd felt about it. He'd treated the whole situation as if someone had touched HIS property and he had been taken care of. From then on, Nadia had insisted that her manager and any who worked closely with her be female. Her trainers, her tutors... even the chauffeur was female if they worked directly for Nadia. Nadia also had similar orders made for her sister so that she would never feel what it was like to be someone's piece of meat...

but the day came that Philamena too was pushed onto the stage, and though she took to it even better than Nadia, nadia didn't like the idea of her sister being paraded out for the same reasons she hated being paraded out. It was around that time that she decided.

She would take her father's company... without a husband to hold her hand when she did it. And then it would end this vile circle and she and her sister could be normal.

But she slowly starting to realize that it might not be that simple. When a bird has been caged so long, it might not remember how to be free.
