==Biography==
===Early life===
Zhasa Ivanova was born in St. Petersburg in the Russian Consortium in 2345, the daughter of Sofie and Andrei Ivanov, and the younger sister of Ganya Ivanov. When she was younger, her father called her "dushenka moya," Russian for "my little soul."
When she was at the age of thirteen, she developed a passion for Kasherev, a radical Neo-Communist author whom her father felt would be "personally responsible for the death of Russian culture." When Andrei was invited to one of Kasherev's readings, Susan whined and pouted until he agreed to take her to it. Susan prepared for days a question she thought was sure to impress her idol—only to have Kasherev tell her it was the most foolish thing he had ever heard and refused to "bandy words with a bourgeois twit barely out of diapers." Susan was crushed, but then her father stood up and rebuked Kasherev and his writings, commenting that if he were not a pacifist he would horsewhip him through the streets of St. Petersburg as he deserved. When they left, Andrei told Susan he thought she had asked an excellent question.
Ivanova was educated away from Russia; her father wanted her to have certain advantages the rest of the family did not, and then she decided to apply for Starfleet and her family backed her.
