As a child Ivan appeared quiet and off-putting, due to being raised in the slums and not knowing proper social behaviors. His fascination with Till started during this time, but the two of them often got into fights due to Ivan often saying things and behaving in ways that upset Till.[2] Ivan put effort into appearing more normal, in ways such as practicing his smile in the Anakt Garden pond.[3]

Later on in life, Ivan succeeded in appearing more normal as he adopted a cheerful persona and learned how to smile and be friendly around others. Classmates saw him as "too perfect to get close to", but he did manage to become friends with Mizi.[4] His childish interior could still be seen in the ways he still tried to bother Till to get his attention, though.

Beneath both the off-putting exterior of Ivan as a child and his cheerful nature as he grew up lays a deep sorrow and fatalistic view of the world, however. His two solo songs generally depict him as someone who believes he's destined for nothing but unhappiness, and that no amount of trying will ever change that. This is clearest when looking at his interactions with Till, as though Ivan is quite obsessed with him, he seems to be resigned in the fact that Till doesn't feel the same[5]; even when they were close to escaping together, Ivan simply smiled as Till let go of his hand.

He's notably quite hypocritical, berating Sua for sacrificing herself for Mizi yet doing the same for Till, and also not following most of the tips he gives for his classmates in Anakt Garden in his student interview like not eating regular meals.

Ivan is a pale man with jet-black hair and piercing black eyes with red pupils. A fang peeks out from the corner of his mouth. He is dressed in a sleek black turtleneck and topcoat with a teal inner lining for the coat, with a diagonal belt accentuating his chest and long black gloves that extend up to his forearms. His lower half consists of a pair of grey slacks with and dark teal boots with straps along the hem, on pants, boots, forearms and chest-These straps advertise brands.

In Top-3, he was depicted wearing a white loose or airy sweater, with long-air sleeves, black pants, and a black fur coat over his shoulder

In Round 6, contrary to his Round 3 attire, Ivan is seen wearing a long white topcoat With unusual sleeves and a ribbon underneath, over a grey turtleneck fastened high right up to the neck, with a zipper. He wears matching white pants and shoes.Strange patterns were noticeable on the pants and turtleneck, resembling a gray cross on the pants, and mugs on the coat,On the turtleneck itself or under it, white ribbons come out, While Ivan's hair was down during Round 3, his hair is slicked back and pushed up for the "Cure" performance.

During the karaoke scene before the 6th round and on the day of adoption, he was depicted wearing a black jacket, over a white blouse, a black bow tie without a tongue, and black pants, with black shoes. The bangs covered the entire forehead, unlike the 3rd and 6th rounds, respectively.

As a child, Ivan was depicted in torn, dirty and crumpled clothes(He was dressed in gray pants and a sweater, with an open shoulder, visible from there with a red strap, and without shoes) as seen during flashbacks in Round 6 as well as the album cover for Nowhere. His face was beaten with bruises and abrasions and his hair was sloppy and shaggy. Later, after being bought by Unsha, Ivan’s hair became much tidier and he wore the standard uniform of the Anakt garden. However, Ivan appears to be the only child without a collar on his neck, with evidence suggesting it was either removed by the aliens due to his obedience or removed by him and concealed with a turtleneck. As a child, his hair covered his entire forehead, and resembled a pot or bowl hairstyle

Background Past Ivan was originally from the slums before being adopted on February 14[7] by his owner as a present to his wife. Although he was a very quiet child, he quickly got along with the other children at ANAKT, dispelling his teacher's worries.[3] Despite his exceptional singing talents, he was unable to truly open himself up to deeper connections with the other children, leading to the formation of a deep, one-sided attachment to Till.

Motivated by his love for Till, Ivan attempted to free him from ANAKT and escape together. Unfortunately, their attempt was brief, as the aforementioned decided to return to the garden, not wanting to abandon Mizi.

Alien Stage Events Ivan is placed in the third round and sings "Black Sorrow" and wins 90 to 68.

After the events of "All-In", Ivan is seen rescuing and caressing Till's cheek after the aliens abused the latter.

In the sixth round he goes against Till. Near the end of the song, Till stops singing, which leads Ivan to give him a forceful kiss before putting his hands around Till's neck, as if trying to choke him. This is because Ivan wanted to lose points so that Till would live longer and survive till the next Round.

(in this they are in the Anakt Garden so he is wearing the robes: sweater and white trousers, accessorized with an emotion-indicating collar) (he also very obsessed with Till even though the love is one sided! :3)
