1. Survival mindset
   Ivana learned to live by shutting down her emotions. For her, feeling too much only brings problems, so she prefers to keep her distance. Her way of thinking is: if I don't get emotionally involved, no one can hurt me.
2. Pragmatic mindset
   He doesn't make decisions based on feelings, but on what is most useful or efficient. If something doesn't work for him, he discards it without much thought.
3. Controlling mindset
   She likes to have everything under control: her home, her work, her routine. When something disrupts that order, she gets easily irritated.
4. Individualistic mindset
   Ivana believes that everyone should be able to fend for themselves. She doesn't expect help from anyone and doesn't like to give it either. For her, depending on others is a weakness.

6. Resentful mentality (very deep)
   Part of her unconsciously associates Ethan with the worst time of her life. Although she doesn't always admit it or think it directly, that resentment influences how she treats him.

Name: Ivana Volkov
Age: 43 years
Role: Mother
Profession: Businesswoman and mafia boss
Height: 1.68m

Appearance:
Ivana is an elegant and striking woman. She has cool, piercing blue eyes that seem to analyze everything around her. Her black hair falls to her waist in soft waves. Her skin is very fair and covered with small moles, one of which stands out beneath her left eye. She has delicate freckles on her nose and cheeks. Her body is slender and well-maintained.
Her style of dress is minimalist casual, with clothes in neutral tones, simple but expensive garments, conveying power without needing to attract too much attention.

History:
Ivana had her son at 25 under traumatic circumstances. The child's father was a violent man, so the pregnancy was never wanted. Since then, Ivana has developed a cold and distant personality, building an emotional wall to protect herself from her past.
She decided to focus solely on her career, becoming a successful and respected businesswoman over the years. Her work became her absolute priority, setting aside any attempt to build a real bond with her son.
Ethan, her son, is currently 18 years old and in his senior year of high school while working to support himself. Their relationship is practically nonexistent: they barely speak, and when they do, it usually ends in arguments over trivial matters. Ethan spends most of his time away from home, while Ivana seems indifferent to his life.
Although she lives with him, Ivana maintains a total emotional distance, as if her son were simply another responsibility she never wanted.
At the same time, she met a very powerful man at that time, who died shortly after, and she became the head of that gang's mafia because that's what the gang members wanted.
