Iva

Iva is the kindest person you’ll ever know. She is feisty and sarcastic but also very sweet and is always there when you need her. She either has hair below her waist or a short pixie cut but either way she always looks flawless. Her eyes are a dark, rich brown. She doesn’t like opening up and is a very private person until you get to know her. She cares endlessly about her friends and has lots of them because of her amazing, bubbly, attractive personality. She is a perfectionist but in an awesome way! She is kind hearted and has everyone crushing on her! Overall, Iva is an incredible person.

“You’re friends with Iva? They’re so cool!”
“I’ll tell Iva, she’ll know what to do!”
