    Nataliya Vasilyeva
    #1
    In Character
    Full Name: Nataliya Zina Vasilyeva
    Nicknames:
    Birthdate: September 22, 1815
    Current Age: 68
    Race: Vampire
    Occupation:
    Social Class: Lower
    Family: Sire: Demetri Asimov
    Appearance: Nataliya is very pale, having a slight blue tinge to her skin, and with dark shadows under her otherwise brown eyes. She has dark, wavy hair that reaches slightly below her shoulder and a rather small built body, though with decent curves. She is a bit shorter than the average british woman, and a bit under the average weight as well.
    History: Born in Russia, Nataliya was born in a middle-class family, living near Sankt Petersburg. She was the sixth child out of 10, giving her plenty of opportunity to run away from the family and explore the city on her own. This was never a problem for her. Being born a halfblood witch, she went to Durmstrang during her school years, and when she was finished she began searching for a husband. This was not any good until 1836 when she meet a young gentleman in her eyes, Demetri Asimov. They begin courting unofficially shortly before Nataliya is completely under his influence and Demetri decides to turn her. Not even 21 years old, Nataliya runs away from her family and everything she knows to live with Demetri, wanting nothing more than to be with him all the time.
    This lasts five years, until 1841 when Nataliya suddenly realizes that Demetri does not keep her around because he loves her and want to be with her, but because he can control her and use her for sex. Nataliya does not wish for this to continue and run away from him.
    Never staying in one place for too long, Nataliya has been running around the world, surviving and killing the majority of her ‘meals’, simply to avoid creating another vampire. She has just gotten to Scotland and Hogsmeade, having learned the languages while being on the run.
    Personality: Nataliya has been a bit of a mess. When she was a human, she was a bit of a rebel, only listening to her own thoughts and decisions. This led her to running away with Demetri in the first place - but while being with Demetri she was quiet and always did as he told without questioning him. When she realised what he had been doing, she got angry and had a minor killing spree out of anger - before she began running. She has learned to blend in over the years, but she tries to avoid too much civilization, meaning that she has a bit of a wild streak to her, but she does not like to live entirely in the wild. She is still trying to settle down being a vampire, and her emotions still tends to go from one extreme to the other.
