||Appearance & Personality||
Appearance: Darya was born an Albino, so everything about her is as pale as can be: pale skin, eyes, lashes, hair, the works. She is also very thin and waiflike in nature, but unlike most of the females in her family she is quite tall. Standing at 5’11”, Darya usually towers over the other girls. Finding clothes that fit her is a nightmare as well. Clothing seems to hang on her like it would a skeleton when she goes to stores and all pants end up being highwaters on her. Hence Darya has to have her clothes tailored especially for her.
Personality: Darya if very quiet usually and doesn’t really like to express her thoughts or opinions for fear of how others will react. She can be described as a bit of a pushover and will usually agree to do something even if she doesn’t want to . This often leads to her being overwhelmed rather quickly but she tries to brush it off and won’t admit when it happens.

||Family & Backstory||
Family members:
-Anton Ulrich-- Father, a prominent Businessman in Germany
-Nadya Ulrich--Mother, a former Russian Model
-Vlad Ulrich--Older Brother, Heir to the Family Estate, Business, and Fortune
-Lotta Ulrich--Older Sister, married off to the son of another Businessman
Backstory: Darya grew up as the youngest child to Anton and Nadya Ulrich. She had life pretty much handed to her on a silver platter but she was never really interested in all that stuff. Instead she loved to be outside, in the dirt, playing with mud and the clay deposits around the property. Of course, her mother would scream and demand she got back inside and cleaned up.
When she was about four years old her father took her with him to Russia on business. It was there that she met a wonderful boy whom became probably her best friend in the entire world. His real name is now long forgotten but she remembers he called her 'Dove' affectionately due to her paleness. He was absolutely amazing, always giving her great big hugs and honestly, Darya fell for him. She called him 'Bear' for those hugs he would always give her. For a few years they kept in contact until schooling became too much for either of them and they lost touch.
Her father was the one that decided his albino daughter would make a wonderful model and began sending her to classes in their home of Germany. But still, this was not enough. So an American school was found--Metric Academy. Darya was accepted based on her exceptional grades and impressive portfolio.
Her first year was.. A nightmare, really. She never liked modelling. But she continued it out of fear of disappointing her father. But then, she took a sculpting class for credit. It was just like playing with the clay back home. She was fascinated by how she could manipulate it. Her brother took note of this upon one of his visits and he convinced their father to let Darya double major. To which Anton reluctantly agreed.
In her Junior year, Darya received word from her family that a Russian museum curator had been looking to match up his son with the daughter of a wealthy family for quite some time. Darya’s parents made the arrangement without considering what Darya herself wanted. Apparently the marriage had been arranged for quite a while.
The wedding date, gown, and all the details have already been settled and upon her return to Germany in the summer of 2017, Darya is to marry Yuri Klokov. Darya is furious and wishes there was a way out of it.
||Social Aspects||
Social Life: Obviously the fact she is so quiet hasn’t warranted her many close relationships, but there are some she might consider friends. Most of the time if she is someplace, she is so much of a wallflower no one even notices she’s there.
Notable Possessions: The last time she saw Bear, he gave her a drawing that she absolutely loves. She keeps it folded up, in a pocket at all times and when she is feeling down she will pull it out. It is stained with tears and in one corner is a stain from when she spilled tea on it and the paper has gradually become worn.
Important relationships:
Yuri Klokov-- the man Darya is supposed to marry once her schooling is finished. She has never met him and something tells her she won’t like him. Of course, she is only making assumptions because she doesn’t know a things about him besides the fact his father is the curator for an Art Museum in Russia.
"Bear"-- Darya would rather be marrying the boy from Russia that she met and fell for all those years ago. She has often wondered where he is now or even if he remembers her. The thought of never seeing him again saddens her and it is mostly because of him that she does not wish to marry Yuri.
||OOC Info||
- Darya has never actually had a romantic relationship with anyone before. This is mostly due to the nature of her family. She hopes to maybe experience something like that one day but fears her arranged marriage will prevent that.
- Darya can most often be found in the library by herself, reading a book. However she actually has been in large mixed groups of people before. But she surprisingly manages to remain a wallflower despite her height and albinism.
- Darya was raised to keep emotions to herself, which often makes it difficult for her to open up to other people.
- I am open to suggestions for any kind of relationships with Darya, just keep in mind her personality and upbringing.
- I may post in the wanted ads at some point, but it would be interesting as a plot point if Yuri was actually a student at Metric as well.
