Iva
Iva Nemec
Adoptive parent of Lukasz, Nadja and Pavel, mother of Nilus and Vasil
Iva is a woman of staunch traditionalism and strict values, having brought with her a distinctive set of principles from her native village, Klemt, to Guthram. Her relationships within the family are fraught with tension, particularly with Nilus, who bears the brunt of her increasingly stringent expectations. Despite these internal tumults, Iva maintains a facade of normalcy, making her a respected if somewhat enigmatic figure in the village.
Iva manages her household with a strict hand, especially evident in her dealings with Nilus, whom she views as needing firm guidance. While she tolerates Pavel's quiet compliance, her interactions with Nadja were fraught with conflict, often escalating into fierce arguments that resonated through the family home. Since Nadja's departure to pursue her artistic dreams, a heavy silence has settled over Iva, one that speaks to her enduring struggle with loss and unspoken regrets. Of Lukasz she has little to say since his disappearance, though she and he seemed to have had a cool respect of each other.
Once more lenient with Nilus, Iva's attitude shifted drastically after Vasil was born. Her favoritism was unmistakably evident towards her younger son, Vasil, whom she adored unreservedly, making Nilus the less favored child. Since Vasil's mysterious disappearance, a deep-seated bitterness has colored her interactions with Nilus, whom she views through a much harsher lens.
