Klava Novikova

Klava Novikora or simply Klava is the daughter of the owner of Sosya, although her position as a mediator between Orlov and Misha has basically made her the de-facto sovereign and head of government in Osorra. She is one of the major transgender political figures of the Yarovar world along with Karolina Schneider, although Klava is far less well-known due to her low public profile. Klava's minimal public appearances have been in masks contributing to her low public profile. Her appearance is unknown, however various ex-civil servants have given written descriptions of her appearance and personality, and internet theories have pieced together the little we do know. Klava is believed to be a mostly resigned person, and is quite soft spoken and diplomatic. She is thought to be exceedingly intellectually competent - a polymath infact - and has published several works of her own under pseudonyms. This combination of calmness and intellectual competence has made her the mediator between Orlov and Misha, allowing Osorra to function disputes their disputes. Those who worked daily with her her deemed her a mystery, "Klava is a character of total mystery, her thoughts are indistinct, yet somehow coherent: sometimes she talks much, sometimes little. Her personality for sure is quite an empathetic one - Klava can go in long sympathetic tangents over minor issues - but also lost in some way. She tells us so little about her past, claiming an inability to recall it". Klava's relationships and friends are unknown however some netizens have alleged meeting her, in person or online. Her personality is shrouded in mystery, with numerous internet theories and conspiracies about Klava. Some even has gone as far as to claim Klava is a fabrication entirely. Some netizens have disappeared after posting a new discovery about Klava, never to be heard from again.

Klava is believed to be mixed-race, with pale brown skin and blue eyes. Her face is oval shaped, and her eyes have an. Her mouth and nose are quite dainty, the lips usually adorned with black or crimson lipstick. Her hair extends to her shoulders and is in a hue of dark black. She usually wears native headdresses, adorned with pure gold and rare gemstones. In the center is a detailed jade gem engraved with Kodesian calligraphy, believed to translate to "He who controls heaven determines exception". Covering the rest of her hair, Klava wears a headscarf spun out of dyed silk, embroidered with various native designs. Her dress hides the rest of her form, with a skirt extending down to her knees. Her dress is full of native Osorrai patterns and rare gemstones which complement it. Her hands are mostly covered with gloves, hidden from sight. Those that worked with her described her as "akin to a nun" in appearance, with a unnerving quirkiness. "Klava doesn't dress like a modern women would, that's obvious, but also akin to a premodern one. Her dress seems to be her desire to in some sense disappear from the world, yet at the same time stand out and make herself known. Some of the other girls laughed at the strangeness of her dress, Klava ignored them...".

While Klava has an ambiguous nature, she has emerged as perhaps the most powerful person in modern Osorra. Since 2014 the oligarchy which rules Osorra has been split between Misha and Orlov, both promising divergent national programs to rid the nation of the "national humiliation" it has faced at the hands of foreign powers since the Osorra-Tilenno War. The vast divisions have created a so called "culture war" among the general populace and without Klava's influence perhaps the nation would have been torn apart. Klava is thought to be a placeholder for Izhi Ayara, although it is unknown whether she would accept the return of Izhi and/or has ambitions of taking power for herself. Klava lacking auctoritas, is reliant on meditation between two figures, meaning her ability to conduct reforms has been limited. Klava is thought to be a major member of the Balakirev Triad.
