Biography
Hi! I'm Sergey Zharptitsov. I'll tell you about my father Ivan. He was the youngest of three sons of a king. His father's golden apple tree was always being plundered by the Firebird. Ivan stayed up all night and plucked a feather from the Firebird. The king declared whoever caught the Firebird would be his heir. On his travels, Ivan met a wolf, who assisted him through various tasks, including retrieving the Firebird, the Horse with the Golden Mane, and Princess Helen the Beautiful. When Ivan was on his way home, his brothers killed him and stole the Firebird to take credit. The oldest son was set to marry Helen. The wolf, with the help of some crows who gave him the waters of death and life, restored Ivan and brought him to the palace. The king punished the two older brothers, and Ivan married Helen.

I'm living quite happily at home. I have two older sisters named Yana and Zlata. I also have two cousins, Andrey and Aleksey, who are both a year older and go to a different school from me. I go to Ever After High. I'm just starting out, but I'm already liking it.

I've always dreamed of being like my father. I want to go on an adventure like him and. It would be nice to have a Firebird of my very own. We live in Russia, where the climate is freezing for much of the yea, so a Firebird would keep us all warm during the winter.

I'm very good at staying awake. I'm a very light sleeper, which is rather strange since I like lying down. Sometimes I wake up at the slightest of noise, like if I hear a cold, icy wind outside. I'm just glad that I can easily fall back asleep, though sometimes if I'm awake at night I get tired during the day.

Even though school is a nice place, I do get teased a lot. I have cerebral palsy, which affects how I walk. My roommate has cerebral palsy as well, so it makes me feel better. I also have burn scars on the left of my face, which I have due to an accident when I was young. I don't like to talk about it, and I tend to avoid questions about it.
