first impression: “Look at the size of-OH CRAP WHY IS SHE CRYING?”
TEN TRUE FACTS AND A SECRET
1. The only thing extraordinary about Yekaterina’s appearance is the size of her breasts. Even with being well endowed she is by no means as beautiful as her younger sister and is often called ‘plain’ or even ‘childish’ due to her soft features and round face. Her clothing choice also does her no favours, and she only wears modest clothing that keeps her covered almost head to toe.
2. Yekaterina is only too aware of this previous fact and it’s caused her self-esteem to become virtually non-existent. She envies her sibling’s looks and often wishes to be as confident or as beautiful as they are.
3. Even though Natalia and Ivan are a large source of Yekaterina’s problems, she holds a love for them that’s wholly unconditional. Having acted as a mother for most of her life, the title has seemed to stick with her and even though they are all adults now, she still finds herself constantly worrying and fussing over them.
4. Like the role of mother might assume, Yekaterina puts all of her focus on those around her and her family. This leaves her almost no time for herself and she often forgets to take care of her own needs, and forgetting to eat occasionally. She’s also normally under the weather, whether it be sniffles or full blown fever, but you won’t see her in bed for it. Family comes first.
5. Yekaterina has managed to stay religious; no matter her uncle Iosef’s attempt to strip her and her siblings from their faith. She is still a part of the Eastern Orthodox church that her Aunt Catherine brought her to during her stay there. She believes that there’s no other explanation for how her family managed to survive and prays every night for her sibling’s safety and well-being.
6. Shy and a bit meek most of the time, Yekaterina is still an optimistic and giving person. She can usually be seen with a small, pleasant smile, but you won’t hear her speak much. She’ll usually do anything for anybody.
7. Though, if you do insult her (even if you don’t mean to, she’s sensitive!), don’t be surprised if the waterworks start to flow, she has been known to be somewhat of a crybaby.
8. Something you might not expect from her though, is that Yekaterina is actually extremely clever. She’s good with logic, games, and anything really that… doesn’t have to do with numbers. For some reason she’s never been good with them, nor money. She’s absolutely horrid with the family budget, and the only reason she’s not completely broke is because of the size of her inheritance.
9. Another thing that you wouldn’t guess is that Yekaterina can in fact defend herself. By no means is she a violent person like her siblings, in fact she detests violence. But if either Natalia or Ivan threaten it, she does have the means to put them in their place. Though this is usually involves ‘tickle wars’.
10. Yekaterina’s hobbies have a wide range. From her vegetable garden, to knitting, down to ‘guro’ video games; the short amounts of free time she comes upon is quickly filled with these simple things- whether it be tending to a row of sunflowers, knitting another scarf, or playing the newest release of a complete immersion thriller.
11. There’s a reason that Yekaterina dresses modestly and it’s not just because she’s shy. She’s got scars from a time she does remember at her Uncle Iosef’s; and most noticeably the large burns across her back from one of her last encounters with the man. It might very well be the reason she’s never gotten too close to anyone outside of her family.
SECRET
Yekaterina has been in trouble with the law. Once. It was a time back when her womanly figure was just coming in and her tops weren’t quite... able to handle the load. Needless to say, her top almost literally burst open and she flashed everyone in the small shop she was in. Unfortunately, an officer was nearby and she spent that night in jail for “public indecency”.
Ever since then she has refused to wear anything too-tight or with too many buttons.
Writing Sample
The flight into Liberty was full of a nervous stomach aches and even more nervous fidgeting. It wasn’t that Yekaterina didn’t want to see her siblings; no, she loved Ivan and Natalia unconditionally.
They could just… kind of be scary.
Who was she kidding? Ivan and Natalia were the epitome of her fears and of her love, all wrapped up into one large, seemingly sweet brother and one small terrifying package. She’d seen her brat capable of terrible things and her syestra even more so with that- bloody, silly knife collection of hers! Yekaterina really didn’t understand it herself, and the thought sunk her stomach.
The amount of relief that flowed through her when the plane landed was-
Virtually none-existent.
After quickly apologizing to the red-head(? Was that red hair?) neighbor, Yekaterina was already hurrying out of the plane. She managed out of the aircraft with little incident, staggering into Liberty’s airport and almost blinded by the still bright snow covering every building. She stared out the window, eyes transfixed on the light snowfall as she sucked in a breath.
Yekaterina quickly rushed out, pulling her knitted scarf tighter around her neck. Her head bowed, she hurried out into the snow- The light flakes falling on her hair and shoulders were almost soft, fresh. She couldn’t help but feel the slight hope rising in her chest-
And a golden haired young man who was oddly familiar running straight into her-
“O-Oh God I’m so sorry- I-“ she paused. “A-Alfred…?”
