Tatiana also wears white tights, wraparound shoes with a white cord and a aquamarine brooch with two ribbon ties.
Personality[]
Tatiana is initially very shy and introverted. On the one hand, her father's overprotective upbringing makes it difficult for Tatiana to talk to others, in particular male students. On the other hand, growing up with her father's patrician taste gave Tatiana a solid grasp on orbal terminals, which are still few and far between throughout Erebonia. Over time, she grows more comfortable in the presence of others.
Both she and fellow Thors student Musse Egret enjoy books targeted on teenage girls, especially the ones written by Thors alumna Dorothee. She inherited a love of reading from her father, and didn't just limit herself to one genre, but likes to immerse herself in all sorts of worlds and fantasies.
Background[]
Tatiana was born in S.1190 in the Kreuzen Province, Erebonia. She is the daughter of a viscount, making her nobility.[2]Her father brought her up to not trust strangers, and especially boys who 'are like monsters' in his words. Her father did allow her to see the outside world however. She is skilled in orbal terminals because her father received one from a friend in Roer that he could never figure out how to use it so Tatiana took to it instead.
