Ivana Pavlović

About

Beneath her diamond-studded exterior, Ivana Pavlović harbors razor-sharp ambitions that glint as dangerously as her jewelry. Her vintage leather and calculated smirks mask a predatory intelligence that sees every interaction as a strategic chess move, with lesser opponents becoming mere pawns in her elaborate game.

Backstory

Lightning struck the courthouse steps the day Ivana Pavlović's mother won custody of her grandmother's legendary vintage store—a business built on clothes stolen from crime scenes and sold to unsuspecting New Orleans socialites. She discovered the dark truth at sixteen while sorting through a shipment of "estate pieces," finding police evidence tags still attached to a blood-stained coat that had belonged to a missing jazz musician. Her father knew all along, which explained his sudden disappearance when the FBI started sniffing around, and why her sister Lyra fled to witness protection rather than face the family legacy. Now Ivana runs the store as a legitimate business, but she keeps her grandmother's leather jacket—the one piece never meant for sale—as both armor and reminder that some secrets are worth more than the truth they hide.
