Ivan

Ivan is a major character in Void Light. He is the friend of Brian and NJ and the boyfriend of Monika. He is a reformed bully and a Light Sensitive.

Backstory
Ivan was one of the residents on the town Monika moves two when she is 15, and he grows a crush on her. He starts pulling pranks on her to get her undying attention, but she sees this as him being a big bully. He keeps attempting his plan, making the actual situation worse and worse. The "pranks" include, but are not limited to, causing Moni's bike fall under her, and dropping Monika's DS in the lake.

Hospital Boarding
At the beginning of Hospital Boarding, Ivan first appears right after Monika falls from the tree. After bickering with Nathan, he tags along with the crew to Hoospital and begins showing his affection for Monika once more. Being a crusher, he tries to hide his attraction, but ultimately ends up getting together with her. He attends to Monika during her recovery, and helps her through emotional and physical turmoil. He and NJ have a habit to fight amongst themselves. This may be insulting each other's abilities as a boyfriend, to emotional attacks that deeply gash the psyche of people.
