Vital Information
Taisiya Krupa is a Half-Blood witch of Afro-Russian and Polish descent. She is the daughter of Amaya Adams and Zenon Krupa.

Life Before Hogwarts
She has lived in a few different countries during the earlier years of her life. Her family was lucky enough, or unlucky enough depending on the view point, to be able to take advantages opportunities allowing them to start their lives over time and time again. She was born in the US, however she spent a lot of her youth in Russia before her family relocated for what was to be the last time to the UK. They continued to travel a great deal Zenon often needed to travel for his work although the did not always travel together as a typical they were always near enough to him for them all to feel comfortable. Her mother, Amaya, was a member of a club, the Russian Premier League. She played basketball professionally until a career ending injury shattered her dreams. Her father, Zenon, was an active member of the wizarding community he met Amaya when he mistook her for a Dark Witch she has an uncanny resemblance to. The awkward meet cute ended up being altered for Amaya's friends and family about. They claimed him mistaking her for someone else was a pick-up line just for her. It went over well with her mother and sister's her father on the other hand never actually bought it, he even let know Zenon know exactly that.

They were still in the process of planning their wedding when they found out they were pregnant, or rather, that Amaya was pregnant. All their plans for a slightly traditional wedding were tossed aside and they settled on something small and rather abrupt wanting to cement the status of their family sooner than later. Eight months after they were married Taisiya was born. They never concerned themselves with what other people might think about their rush to be wed, or how soon they started their family. There were rumors from family friends that made their way back to them Amaya was never bothered like Zenon was. As a mixed-race family they had priorities to contend with and their number one concern was making sure their daughter understood who and what she was. Her mother came from a Muggle family and her father both a wizard and muggle family. Since they both knew there was a possibility she would be a witch and although they both hoped she would be a squib and have an exceedingly normal muggle life she made her magic inheritance known and with gusto. Her actually first sign of magic was so inconspicuous that no one ever noticed it. The very minor movement of her baby blanket was not enough to catch anyone's attention.

Magic came as a welcome surprise to her, although she had already accepted the notion that her father had magic and by that estimation that her mother did too. She never thought it would be something they would all share. She was ecstatic when she made a rain cloud appear over the stove and sprinkle little droplets putting out the pan her father had taken his eye off for one second too long. It was by no means on purpose, she smelled something burning and the next thing she knew it was raining in the house. The small puddles on the floor that were left over were something she took a lot of pleasure splashing in. Warned early and often that magic was something not everyone was allowed to know about, let alone something that not everyone accepted. She still made the mistake of trying to show off for her cousins which was usually met with disaster. She did not have control over the magic she knew she had and was therefor incapable of calling forth her abilities at a moment's notice. She was typically made fun of or called a liar for bragging about things that appeared far from true. On the rare occasions that she was bullied so aggressively by her peers for her attempts she was able utilize underage magic without intending to do so.

At no point prior to her acceptance to a prestigious wizarding school did she and her parents ever discuss Ilvermorny, Hogwarts or other wizarding schools. Of course they knew at some point she would need to attend or they would have to provide her with a magical education on their own, yet it remained a topic that the ignored. Whether it was something that slipped their minds or a detail they over looked for selfish reasons after Hogwarts sent an owl with a letter addressed to her the lines of communications were finally opened. Taisiya was a bit overwhelmed. She had never been away from her parents for more than a few hours, apparently wizarding schools were the sleep away type. It made her nervous and even though she choose not to admit it she was terrified of being away from her parents for so long. There was a tiny little part of her that was excited but it was completely overshadowed by the fear of the unknown. She only shared her true feelings with her cousins, the ones with magic who had already started at various schools. They were of little help often telling her things they knew would instill even more apprehension in the young girl. She had the long overdue conversation with her parents the night before her train ride.

Personality
Taisiya is a bit sweet and sour, she is undeniably moody. She had her good days and her bad ones. When something irritates her she holds onto it like her life depends on it, it is hard for her to let go of her frustrations and she is not as good as most people are at venting. The same can be said for her good moods when she is on a high she has a tendency to become the most annoying person on the face of the Earth. Disgustingly chipper and unfathomably perky. She can seem like two completely different people and often makes it seem like either the unhappy version or the happy version of her is not real.

She is unfathomably perceptive and unbelievably sharp She tends to be aware of things most people would be convinced that someone her age should not know or even understand. She is brilliant but she has a sense of insecurity that can spoil all the good things about her. She is sometimes overly paranoid and she suffers from delusions, she is convinced that people are talking about her if they happen to be whispering in the distance near her or when she has passed by. There is no convincing her that she is wrong about that. She gets overwhelmed by anxiety the rest of her thoughts spiral out of control.

She is wildly inconsistent as is made most evident by the variant in her demeanor. She has bad habits and is capable of being content doing what she knows is wrong rather than what she knows it right. When she gets annoyed or frustrated with routine whatever it may be she settles right back into those bad habits she knows she should not be giving into. Even though she knows better and has been taught to avoid her tendency to deviate the decision to break up the monotony always make her feel better. In some meaning of the word doing the wrong thing is relaxing for her.
