Biography
Hello! I'm Ivo. I'm the son of one of the people who encountered the mischievous monkey. My father, the barber, was his first victim. They monkey came in his shop and asked for him to shave his beard. However, the barber ended up cutting a snip of the monkey's tail. The monkey was angry and demanded a razor. The barber refused, so the monkey stole one of his razors and left.

Luckily, this little accident (my father insists that it was an accident) didn't hurt business at my father's shop. My father has two sons, of whom I am the younger of the two. My father is friends with other people in our town. Some of the other local kids - namely, the ones whose parents the monkey food - attend Ever After High with me.

I'm starting my first year in Ever After High. It's definitely not like home, since home is warm and sunny while here it gets cold during the winter. But it's still a nice school. My roommate Cicero, the baker's son, is really cool and really fun to be around. We do everything together. He also bakes bread for me and him to eat.

I like to cut hair. My father taught me how to do it - and how to shave beards. I enjoy styling my own hair - and styling my friends' hair too. Sometimes I can lose focus, though, and I've gotten lots of cuts on my face because of it.

I try to get involved in school activities too. I'm good at football (or soccer for you Americans), volleyball, swimming, tennis, and rock climbing. I also love arts and crafts, and I especially love to paint. I enjoy sending paintings home to my family so they can see them.

I'm a Rebel since I don't want to get into a dispute with a nasty monkey. I'd rather keep him away.
