SPECIES APPEARANCE: Basil is quite good at shifting she's been actively doing it since she first became able to. She can easily alter her facial appearance and hair color. Her preferred shifting is a sparrow. A common bird that hops around the park pavement looking for crumbs, or sitting in a tree listening closely to those she needs information from. She is light, scrawny looking. The breast is white and her back and wings are speckled brown, white and shadowed with black. Her feathers are well pruned and clean.

Taking jobs that will come across as a slight to certain sides. She will always take the identity of a werewolf over an average human. GOALS: Acquire enough self wealth that she will not have to take side jobs anymore and can just stay at home and be an online editor and publisher, unfortunately now that does not pay the bills on its own. She may look for someone in the future. For right now she is focused on sending money home to her family and living comfortably- having fun in the mean time as well. FATHER: Malcolm Ivanova - UNKNOWNMOTHER: Alice Ivanova - ALIVESIBLINGS: Demitry Ivanova (Older) - ALIVE, Lars Ivanova (Younger) - ALIVEOTHER FAMILY: Tanya Slayden (Younger cousin who pops in and out of her life every once in a while)OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: Emily Starnes - Demitry's wife (sister-in-law) - closest thing to a best friend she hasOVERALL PERSONALITY: Basil has never been one to take life too seriously. She has seen some dark things in her past, but over the years she learned to brush them off. She is someone who will laugh loudly, unaware of the attention she is bringing to herself and the one telling the joke. She is usually wearing a smile, and despite the way she makes her money she is never looking to intentionally harm an innocent person. She'd give you the shirt off her back if you really needed it. However, on that note- she'll take your shirt off yours if she needed it, or felt someone needs it more. Basil has the ability to remain quiet and become a fly on the wall, so to speak. Despite her will to have fun, she can be serious as well, especially when an opportunity presents itself. Basil is quite intelligent and can read people well. She enjoys socializing and confirming her beliefs about people. She has a very keen ability to pay attention to detail. In another life she would want to be a detective, but her few run ins with the law, and her bad habit of taking things that don't belong to her would come in the way of that. So she edits in her spare time for aspiring authors, or small business owners looking for someone who doesn't charge much but to give their work a look over.
HISTORY: Basil grew up in the city, a middle child of three, with a single mother to carry the family on her back. This wasn't uncommon in the neighborhood that the Ivanova's grew up in. Most of the families were made up of too many children and one parent. Most, like the Ivanova's were 2nd generation immigrants who came over with their parents on the boat. Their parents spent days and nights working while the children went to school. Hard work was in the Ivanova's bones. If they were to do something they were to do it to the best of their ability. All three of the children always did. However, Basil always found easier ways to do things. She saw things that the others did not. She had urges that the others did not. She helped her mother in her own way. Regardless of her mother's protest when her ways were exposed she still helped her family. Malcolm Ivanova, who was the patriarch of their family was around until Demitry was five, Basil was three, and Lars was due any day. Malcolm had a secret pass time which Alice often assumed was adultery- gambling. One day he didn't show back up home after a night of work. She called his employer and they didn't have any news from him either. When she went to the bank after a few weeks of being missing, they provided her with the awful news that their family's savings were non existence. She went into labor, right then and there. It was hard at first, but living in a community with people who were going through similar hardships was a saving grace. Mothers shared their time to watch others' kids while they were out working, and the children in the neighborhood bonded and became siblings themselves. There was very little crime in their area due to the large population of them being so family orientated- raised right. Putting their community first and working hard for what they want. The Ivanova's were a bit different from the rest. Alice and Malcolm had come to bond due to a similar trait they had. They were shifters. It was no surprise when Demitry was able to shortly after he turned four. Basil started even earlier than him, yet Lars was seven his first time. He was worried he wouldn't be like them, but he was just a late bloomer. During high school Basil went through a difficult time. She didn't see the future like the school guidance counselors were painting it out for her small group of "at risk" teens. Basically people who came from rough get ups with no parents who chased a higher education. They told her there was money out there for her to go, but she did not see how spending four years away from her family was going to help them out in the long run. She guessed one less mouth to feed was a perk for them, but Demitry was expecting his son soon from his girlfriend, Emily. Lars was struggling in high school like she had, not with the content, just with the purpose. She stuck around and became quite efficient at what she was considering a past time. She was seventeen the first time she did it. Stole someone's identity. She had been working as a waitress and a snobby girl had been giving her a hard time with her friends. When the girl left after complaining about Basil to her manager, Basil went to bus her own table and saw that the girl had left her clutch. Her first instinct was to run after the girl who's name was Rose Oliver. Then she thought twice, the girl had been her similar size, height and weight, build too. She looked at the license as a sixteen year old Rose smiled back at her. She took the wallet to the bathroom with her and looked at the license and then back to herself in the mirror. After much focus, they hair, nose and lips were almost identical, a little more work, and then cheek bones matched up as well. The only thing that didn't work was the eyes. But, that had always been the case in situations like these. Rose Oliver did seem like the kind of girl to wear sun glasses indoors. She finished her shift and then stopped by the bank that matched up to the debit card. She removed the amount of a proper tip, and then some more for the trouble. This became something she did. She became very good a altering just enough of her to pass as someone else. The voice didn't come with it. Just enough facial changes to have someone who was just an acquaintance to swear that it was them. She made enough to move out on her own without feeling guilty about leaving her mom alone. She also left behind enough to take care of things. She moved onto bigger and better things, she draped herself in jewels and fine clothes and pretended to be wealthy women spending their sugar daddy's money. Most of the ridiculous clothing sat in her closet and sometimes her cousin came to raid her home she walked away with most of it. She didn't share what she did with anyone; she didn't want to inspire anyone. She quite selective with her victims. Basil feared others would not be. She was sure everyone in her family knew about it, but she never confirmed it. She told Demitry though, he admitted to doing similar things, but he straightened up when his son was born. They were waiting to see if he would shift as well. His mother was just a human; it was the first mix in a couple branches of the family tree. Basil now lives in New York, NY she lives comfortably in a three-bedroom apartment, a bedroom for herself, one for her office editing and her illicit activities, and then a room for when Lars comes to stay with her.
