Mikhail Petrovich/Family

The Petroviches are a purist pureblood Russian family who can trace their bloodline and family tree all the way back to the days of Peter the Great and the early days of the Russian Empire in the 18th century. Their family seat is the Chateau de Petrovich, a mansion in the Russian countryside that has recently fallen into disrepair.

## Pyotr Petrovich

### Appearance

Pyotr Anatoly Petrovich is a tall, intimidating forty-three-year-old Russian man with wavy black hair, grey eyes, some stubble on his chin, and he wears his black glasses. When he goes to work in the Ministry of Magic, he wears a white buttoned suit and a black blazer. At home, he'd wear the same black blazer and a long-sleeved white buttoned shirt.

### Personality

As a part of the Ministry of Magic and pureblooded society, Pyotr always expects himself to maintain the facade of the perfect father and husband to his family with conservative and purist values. He works very hard to achieve his goals and is particularly invested in trying to accomplish them. Unfortunately, it often comes at the cost of his own pride along with having a hot-headed temper. As a result, he expects his sons(especially Mikhail)to be perfectly well-behaved with their emotions and thoughts repressed in order for him to advance his career as he'll do anything to keep his secrets hidden. He can also be prejudiced against half-bloods(he calls them half-breeds as he didn't understand the difference between the two terms), Muggles, and Muggleborns as he sees them as a threat to their way of life.

### History

Pyotr was born to Yegor Ivan Petrovich and his wife Ludmila as the second-eldest son along with his fraternal older twin brother Grigory. As a young boy, he and Grigory used to play together and they were closer than anything else in the world. But when they turned eleven, Grigory was given an acceptance letter from Hogwarts and Pyotr had to attend Durmstrang. Soon, the twins were sent off to their respective schools and as they grew older, they began to grow apart from each other as Pyotr became his father's favorite and Grigory became the black sheep of the family. Soon they had a disagreement and when they turned eighteen, Pyotr graduated from Durmstrang and two years later, he married Sonya, a pureblood from another Russian pureblood family and they had two sons together, Igor and Mikhail. After that, Pyotr moved to Moscow and he soon inherited the Chateau de Petrovich after his father's death which became his life until he received a job from the Ministry of Magic and he moved the entire family to London.

## Sonya Petrovich

### Appearance

At forty-one years of age, Sonya Petrovich is a slender Russian woman with long, straight black hair, a small nose, green eyes(unlike the rest of her husband's family), and has a beauty mark near one of her eyes. She usually wears an average-sized dark blue dress and a striped dark blue ribbon.

### Personality

Being the mother of two sons, Sonya is intelligent and cares about her family very deeply. She can be gentle and whenever she works on her potions, she's very focused and dedicated to making them well. Sometimes, she cares for the wellbeing of her own family, especially her husband, Pyotr. Yet despite being content with her marriage and her family, she doesn't see the flaws in her husband who is often violent and abusive to her whenever she doesn't follow his orders. As a result, she has become submissive to his every need and want while working hard to provide for her family.

### History

When she was a little girl, Sonya was raised by her strict parents to be a proper young lady who never asked questions so that someday, she'll marry the perfect pureblooded man. When she was eleven, she was sent away to Durmstrang in order to begin her education. For years, she did well here and she became a good potioneer. When she was eighteen, she graduated from Durmstrang and a year later, she was to marry Pyotr Anatoly Petrovich, another pureblood like her in order to help give her family the stability they needed. They moved into Moscow and they had two sons, Igor and Mikhail. Despite the rocky relationship she has with her husband, she loves her husband anyway.

## Igor Petrovich

### Appearance

Igor Vasily Petrovich is a seventeen-year-old Russian man with short-cropped black hair, grey eyes, a big nose, bushy eyebrows, and he usually wears a white shirt, dark grey trousers, and black shoes whenever he goes out on his adventures.

### Personality

As the older brother, eldest son and heir, Igor is an amusing young man. He's often the life of the party and a social butterfly whenever he hangs out with his friends from Durmstrang. Most of the time, he can be very charming and persuasive along with making other people laugh. But his humorous nature has a dark side as well. He's extremely arrogant and cruel just like his father and other times, he can be shallow, greedy, and conceited which is just the tip of the iceberg. Because he had been raised by his father to be a purist, he can be hostile towards half-bloods(he usually calls them half-breeds), Muggles, and even Muggleborns as well.

### History

Igor spent most of his childhood in Moscow and their countryside estate, the Chateau de Petrovich with his parents. When he was three, his little brother Mikhail was born. At the age of eleven, he attended the Durmstrang Institute like his mother and father before him. In Durmstrang, Igor made friends with the other pureblooded students and he spent many happy years in Durmstrang. He also had a marriage arranged for him by his father with a woman named Miss Lockwood, but after a while, they both decided they weren't suited for each other and called off their engagement.

## Grigory(Grischa)Petrovich

### Appearance

Grigory Abram Petrovich is a tall, forty-three-year-old Russian man with dark brown slicked back hair, brown eyes, a black eyepatch over one of his eyes, an upturned nose, big black eyebrows, and some facial hair. When at home, he usually wears a sleeveless shirt, green shorts, and a bathrobe. Whenever he goes outside, he'll wear a blue turtleneck sweater, black pants and a brown jacket and black boots while carrying a pink umbrella. He doesn't wear any glasses like his younger twin brother and he wears brown leather shoes around the house.

### Personality

Unlike his twin brother Pyotr, Grigory is more levelheaded, wise, and pragmatic. Most of the time, he'd be optimistic and modest about his status in life while maintaining a sense of responsibility. Sometimes, Grigory can be clueless, obnoxious, and a bit annoying when he wants to be. He'd even become self-indulgent and has a huge sweet tooth for everything sweet which his beloved nephew Mikhail has already inherited. Nonetheless, while Grigory's oddness has set him apart from the rest of his estranged family, it has earned him his own self-respect and gave him the opportunity to find his purpose.

### History

Born to Yegor Ivan Petrovich and Ludmila Petrovich, Grigory and his twin brother used to be the best of friends and as children, they would often spend their days playing games in front of the Chateau de Petrovich. However, upon turning eleven, Grigory got accepted into Hogwarts which made him the first Petrovich in a family of Durmstrang alumni. Yet it began a distance between him and his twin brother which grew until they had an argument which severed their relationship. When Grigory finished his education at Hogwarts, he moved to London, England where he spent seven years in a boarding house until he met and eventually married Vivian, moved to Liverpool, and they had two children: Yanik and Hanna.
