Shasta Balavirev entered into Ballet Courses starting at age 9.
She would later become one of the best ballet dancers in Russia at age 12.
She would later proceed with the elite into a group of 6 Figure Skaters at around age 15.
Her group would be known worldwide as the серафим (Seraphim).
At the heights of a mountain lied a crystal lake that only stays frozen enough to skate on once in every 7 years.
The performance of the group consisted of high synchronization as each Skater would artistically carve out a wing to eventually meet up in the center in a circle.
At the climax of the music, the center is to be lit ablaze.
The flames would then spread to all the scratch lines left by the figure Skaters to show the Image of the Seraphim in all it's fiery glory.
Shasta was the lower right wing for the foot of the Seraphim as shown in the Tattoo on her back.
Her first performance was an absolute success, but things would eventually take a turn for the worst....

On her 2nd performance, at age 23, something had gone very wrong.
At the climax of the performance, as she was timing her 6 spin jump to the music, the ice beneath her had cracked.
As she landed, a shard of ice had pierced her right ankle, leaving it severely fractured.
Despite the best efforts of doctors, she would never again be able to figure skate properly and thus would be forced to give up her dreams.
Shasta would later find solace in her role as a Model starting at age 25 and proceed to win the world championship 3 times, before making her own clothing store.
Despite her newfound success as a model, she still longs for the days of her being able to figure skate again despite her injuries.
