Template:Nina Mikhailova/History

Klava Petrova hailed from Koylma, Russia to a set of very wealthy parents that owned a chain of high-end fashion stores. She was fifteen years old when she got pregnant by her boyfriend at the time, a jock with his eyes set for a scholarship. Klava was forced to reveal her pregnancy to her parents but only when it was too late to terminate the pregnancy, as she did not wish ill for her child. By this point in time, her boyfriend had left her all alone to deal with the pregnancy and her parents. They, of course, were outraged that a girl so young had ended up in such a state.

Her parents, grudgingly supported her through the pregnancy and made sure that she was healthy and happy. However, they refused to let Klava keep the child when it was born. She, after many fights, had lost the fight to her parents. She knew deep down that if she gave her child up for adoption, a family that was ready and needing a baby would get their wish. When the girl was born, her parents allowed Klava to name her before they gave her to a social worker to give to the new legal parents. She was named Galina, after Klava's grandmother, the only witch left in the family as it had skipped her parents and her generations. She was given to a couple who had come from another small village not too far from Ufa.

This couple had cheated the system by going so far away to adopt a child and the truth behind their dirty little visage was the intention to get a maid for their small, dingy estate. They were wicked people with no room in their heart for an infant girl. During the nights, she would lay in her bed made of hay and listen to the wolves howl in the distance until she fell asleep.

When she was six years old, she got a little too curious one night, tried to follow the howling. She had seen a wolf once; on a train from Ufa to Koylma just shy three months prior. It howled just like this one, luring her forward. It didn't appear vicious to her. After some time, she stumbled upon the body of a mangled rabbit where a beast had just been by the looks of the tracks.

She searched for that wolf half the night until it found her. But it was no ordinary wolf; it was a werewolf. By this time, the family who had adopted and raised Galina from infancy noticed that she had gone missing and gathered some farm hands and neighbors to hunt for her in the woods. The werewolf lunged and if it hadn't been for the search party, Galina would have died that night. Instead, she remained in critical condition throughout the night. The local doctor was unsure if she would make it through the night. It came as a surprise when she had.

While Galina recovered from her attention, it became clear that she did not remember anything about anyone. She had completely lost her memory. Amnesia, they called it. Likely from hitting her head against the ground when the wolf attacked. She took some time to heal and was back on her feet, but a little less inclined to do any work she had before the accident. She was like a new person; someone who didn't enjoyed being pushed around. On the night of her first full moon, she turned and it was the most horrific and terrifying experience she had ever gone through but the adventure to follow was out of this world. A whole new life. Freedom.

After she shifted a couple more times, Galina chose to run away from home and live in the woods to escape them at last. She found refuge in a cave she had located on her many adventures. Galina, unaware of who she was, became nameless once more. Over the days, she begun to starve. Unable to support herself because of her age, she tried her best to survive off of berries. Little did she know was that a pack of wolves, who had realized someone moved into their territory had been scoping out the little girl.

The most unusual and in-explainable thing happened when the wolves begun to bring the child food and essentially adopted her into the pack as one of their own. It could have been because of her lycanthropy or maybe it was their unwillingness to let her die but she became one of them. She begun to learn things all over again but from a different perspective and was raised to be like a wolf. She lived with the wolves for three years until she turned nine years old and showed her first signs of magic when she made a stick fly through the air at one of the other pups. That summer, the pack migrated back to Koylma to a beautiful place ironically not too far from her biological mother. Jack London Lake became their new home with their big lake and vast forest.

The Russian ministry, unsure of how else to handle the situation with the child raised by wolves, detained the child with much effort and took her back to their office, where the situated some sort of rehabilitation for her. After an entire year of rigorous therapy and treatment and much improvement due to vague memory recovery, she was deemed ready to be in society and given back to the ministry. From there, they gave her a new legal name of her own; Nina Mikhailov. Finally, from there, they sent her to the best orphanage with the most dedicated staff. Lil Bundles in London, as highly suggested by the British ministry once they heard of Nina's case, had an opening for Nina and she was shipped on the next plane over. Now she lives there while awaiting adoption.
