{[Apparence;]}
The first thing that strikes people when it comes to Tova's appearance is that she looks a bit like a flagpole, standing barely under 6 feet and teetering just over a 130lbs. She's skinny but not overly so that you're able to see the bones though her skin, perhaps due to all the training she does. Tova has aways had a love for gymnastics and it's been something that she's spent a great deal of her life doing, thanks to this she's developed, long, lean muscles that fits rather well into her otherwise gangly frame. She's got a pretty face with bright blue eyes and rather pouty lips which all creates a rather innocent look on a not so very innocent person and her shoulder long light brown hair only adds to this. She's got rather prominent front teeth and was teased a lot for it when she was a child, it's something that's taken a lot of time to overcome and she still has moments when she feels self conscious about smiling widely, due to it.

Tova loves fashion, colors, handbags and she's a bit of a shoe freak. While she can still wear last seasons dresses and jewelry or handbags, she can not ever go in anything but the latest in shoe wear. She prefers to dress cutely, plain and simple, if the clothes does not make her go 'aww!' or 'adorable!' when she picks them out, she's not wearing it. Even when attending a party with her peers or a social dinner with her family she dresses by her own mind and will, she has an image to uphold after all and if she ever feels like doing anything but cute, there's always Halloween, the year's one legit excuse to dress like a slut.

FIRST IMPRESSION:

IN GENERAL: If you would look up the word playful in a dictionary you won't find a picture of Tova, but you might as well could have. There's nothing she loves more than having fun, even if it happens to be at other people's expenses. As long as it amuses her, it will be all good - something those she calls her friends have learned firsthand over the years. She loves being outdoors doing whatever she can as long as she's allowed to move around. She's always been very active and her addiction hasn't really helped counteract this the least. Tova is a friendly person, she's not the least bit concerned about approaching strangers and making new friends, but like all people, she isn't always a bundle of laughs to be around.

She's always had a bit of an issue with anger and she's a very moody person that can turn from happy and chipper to downright furious at the drop of a hat and without any hints or traces that her very short temper is coming to an end. At times when she flips she's not even aware of what she does or even of the severity of situations that she can unintentionally find herself in. She is seeing a therapist for her anger issues and while that has helped a bit, it is still a big issue with her. Most of the times though she's a rather flippant but overall happy person.

PET PEEVES:
FAVORITES:
IN FIVE WORDS:
STRENGTHS: Cunning, friendly, open, gentle, supportive.
WEAKNESSES: Moody/horrible temper, obsessive, shallow, manipulative/two-faced.

{[History;]}
Mark and Lisbeth Taylor met at a social function in the early 80's and hit it off instantly despite the considerable age difference with him being 30 years older than her. It was a whirlwind and they married only a few months later, five weeks short of his 50th birthday. It was a rocky marriage and things really didn't improve much after Tova's birth. Lisbeth was still young, only in her early 20's at the time and not really ready to be a mother and the pair had divorced before Tova was three. Her mother would come to remarry later the same year while Mark instead focused on taking care of his daughter. There was no lack of female influence on the girl though with how actively her father dated and every now and then he would bring his newest girlfriend home to meet his daughter, it usually never lasted for long and she was still too young to really understand it all.

As Tova got older, her mother started making a come back into her life, the now matured woman was slowly starting to have a need to know her own daughter and their relationship was tentative at best and during one outing with her mother and her most recent husband Tova had a very nasty fall, slipping on the wet surface of the boat and the back of her head colliding with a metal railing. She was in a coma for 3 weeks only to be surrounded by complete strangers when she finally came to, there was no recollection of who she was or why anyone around her was either. It was the start of a very difficult time for her, not only having to relearn the things she's had behind her but also having to re-adapt to her life and to once again get to know her parents. That was the only good thing that came from it really, her parents had equal playing field with their daughter and her relations to both of them changed. She grew closer to her mother despite still living with her father in New York and under her mother's guidance she started a new life as a jet-setter, traveling around the world to the most hip places, meeting the most influential people and with her parents say she found herself at the most prestigious boarding schools.

Prior to the accident Tova had been a rather calm and happy child, never much for getting angry and the times she did, it usually manifested itself with her running up to her room and crying her eyes out. After the accident though, she became violent, physically so even and after a very bad fight with her mother she finally relented and admitted she might be having some issues. At 14 she started seeing a therapist for her anger and it was the first step on a very long and difficult journey. Tova was never much for studying, though she always did like being outdoors and she had a great fondness for the beautiful gardens of their Nice mansion, they were the perfect place for her to hide away from the rest of the world and to be alone with just her thoughts and a coffee.

It had started out as a tentative friendship, meeting the gardener one early morning while she was out for a walk in the garden as the old man had been sorting weeds and she had struck up a conversation with him. At first they'd spoken about the garden, the how's and why's and even his ideas when he had been creating it but soon their conversations grew, they spoke of plants, of life and death. She confided in him about herself, her feelings and the doubts she had and he listened, becoming one of the few people that she, to this day, trusts with all her secrets. Their talks, small breaks and moments of early morning coffee in the garden, watching the flowers bloom for the day to come, earner her a standing invitation to his house, if she ever needed somewhere to get away from it all. She took him up on the offer every now and then and it was during one of those times that she would meet his grandson, her first great love. Pascal was two years older than Tova and with near black hair and deep brown eyes he swept her off her feet completely. Her father disapproved, Pascal being a construction worker was not nearly good enough for his daughter, she deserved and would find someone better, Mark was certain of it. Her relationship with Pascal only lasted that summer and as autumn came she went back to school, while he promised to write, he never did and she has a sneaking suspicion her father has something to do with it and it's something she'll always hold against him.

At age 16 she'd found the thrill of boys and could be seen dating a new one nearly once a month, her relationships never seeming to last very long. While many of them were cute, nice and all that, they weren't the boy she had lost and as such neither of them was good enough and the frequent change in boyfriends didn't really help her image as innocent, thought the boys grumbling about her never letting them do anything did give it a slight boost. While seeming innocent and orderly at school, Tova was a hellion during the breaks. Traveling around with her mother, getting drunk, fooling around with men left and right. It was a stark contrast against her otherwise well mannered behavior. As the years moved by she grew up, the thrill of getting plastered each weekend no longer had the same allure though the attention of the boys certainly never grew dull but Tova started concentrating more on school and her friendship with the aging gardener came to play a part in her choice when she finally enrolled into University where she chose to study Architecture.

She's an average student, working hard and playing even harder during the times that she really lets loose but with a new school came new opportunities and she's once again back to behaving like a slightly air headed, innocent ditz. Because life is far more fun that way.

{[Misc;]}
OCCUPATION: Student, undergraduate senior, majoring in Architecture. Works part time at Pavlov's Bell, because it's fun and allows her to be around coffee.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES:Tennis, Gymnastics captain, Beta Kappa Upsilon Tresurer.
HOUSING: Suite 107B; Beta Kappa Upsilon house.

WEIRD QUIRKS:
⇨ Addiction; coffee. Tova is very addicted to it, and yes it is really bad. She regularly consumes between 15 to 20 cups per day and heaven forbid that she does not get her morning coffee. She gets irritated, twitchy, restless and is prone to angry bursts when the dose of caffeine drops to low. And not just any coffee will do either, it must be Kopi Luwak or she'll simply refuse to drink it and woe those who happen to be around her then, better be ready to run for the hills. Tova wholly blames the educational system for her addiction whenever anyone asks or comments about it, even if that's really not the truth.

⇨ Severe Nickel allergy. Tova is very allergic towards nickel and as such she only wears jewelry that's pure gold or silver, anything containing nickel will made her skin swell and cause extreme redness and blisters which itch horribly. Anything with nickel in it applied to an open wound or an already irritated area can cause severe infections and keep the wound or irritated area from healing. She has a few scars on her wrists and neck from this, it did take a bit to establish what her allergies actually was after all.

⇨ Due to her near obsession with shoes, Tova has a room full of them back home in Toronto. At school one of the closets is filled to the brim with shoe boxes just so she'll have some to choose from. If, in town or wherever, she finds a pair of shoes she's never seen before, she will buy them and not even bat an eyelash at whatever they might cost, she must have shoes. .

EXTRA:
⇨ When she was 9 Tova had an accident that left her with amnesia and a great chunk of her life missing. Scared, alone and having to re-learn all the things she knew set her back a couple of years which is why she's 3 years older than her peers.

⇨ Tova has a very unassuming look, with big Bambi eyes and a general innocent demeanor she's usually the last person anyone suspects when things go haywire and she loves it and uses and abuses it with all her might. If she's able to get away with more stuff thanks to it, then she will.

⇨ Due to many years doing gymnastics, Tova has developed a remarkable balance and doesn't seem to ever trip or fall. Sure she stumbles at times, trips over things or skids on patches of ice but instead of falling down she might flail like a fool but she always comes out standing on her feet. A sprained muscle or an overworked ligament sure, but still standing.

⇨ Only eats white meat and absolutely loves Salmon. It's her favorite food ever though turkey is a really close second.
