Kiva Ariella Kijewski is the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, Aladren Head of House, and has been recently promoted to Deputy Headmistress (much to her dismay). Born and raised in New Mexico by her Muggle Father and Witch Mother, Kiva has grown to appreciate all forms of life. Her father, a Zoologist at a local Zoo, taught Kiva everything he knew about animals and often would take her to his job site and allowed her to interact with some of the smaller, plant eating animals. It was the times she spent at the Zoo with her father that Kiva fell in love with working and learning about animals. Her father's passion became her own. When Kiva turned 11 she attended Sonora Academy as a student and was sorted into Teppenpaw .

Most people believed Kiva to be a rather shy, but intelligent girl. That still has not changed. Kiva was always crafty with her charms and excelled in Transfiguration knowing that these were what she would need most when it came to her future career. Though she was always friendly to everyone, studying was what she was best known for.

After graduating from Sonora, Kiva became part of a research group that travels the world studying all forms of creatures, magical and nonmagical. They lived amongst the animals in their habitats to learn all they could about them. It was during these times where her charms and transfiguration skills came in handy the most. Kiva has lived all over the world in such places like the Amazon Rainforest, Romania, India, Africa, and various places throughout the Far East. She worked along side the research group until she was twenty-five. She left for home for personal reasons and took up the position of CoMC Professor. She has been at Sonora ever since.
