There isn't much known about Klaud Nine in the canon, so this will be all AU/head canon. She also has a pet monkey 8|
Klaud Nine was born in Eastern Germany, December of 1976 - while the Berlin Wall was still up. Her family was once very famous for being a long line of people within the military during World War II and were sent to the camps because they defied the Reich. While the richer members of her family fled to the States during the World War, Klaud's grandfather didn't want to leave Germany. His grandmother would have forced him to leave his wife and leave their children, rather than divorcing her because they were devout Catholics. Since then, the once proud Nine name was forever doomed to be in hiding, but they were the few Germans that were within the resistance. Klaud's grandmother and grandfather, young during that time, formed networks with the ghettos and the French resistance, spanning all across Europe. Since then, the new Nine family were those who knew the most people underground, especially then during the Cold War.
During the time of the Iron Curtain, Klaud's mother and father wanted her to have a normal life, past the lives that that they had experienced. They used their connections to get Klaud into the best schools that Eastern Germany had to offer. One day, when they were going to the ballet, she had requested to see the ballet dancers. While she was practicing with them on stage, Klaud Nine was recruited to be a ballet dancer for the Russian Ballet Company. Her time with the company was the happiest time of her life; she was a very talented dancer, even scoring the leads in productions. That was until there was a horrible accent. She was working late in the theatre when they were on tour when there was faulty wiring that caused the lights to fall on her. That accident shattered her ankle and burned her face. Klaud Nine would never be a dancer again. It was then that Klaud matured very fast; she went from being a bubbly dancer to a calm, collected and even at times, stoic young woman.
To compensate for this setback, she turned to teaching. At first she taught young children how to do ballet, but there wasn't much money in it. However, as the times were getting harder, she had to stop teaching dance and she started to focus on her talents on literature and history within the local secondary school. Soon after the accident, her mother passed on and she moved in to live with her father.
One day, when she was 22, a man offered to smuggle her to New York city, where her grandaunt had fled during World War II. While sitting in their living room, Klaud wondered whether or not she should leave her father. Reluctantly, she agreed, her father had argued that he was old and he would want to die with her mother. But, it had been eight years after the wall fell, why did it take so long for them to find her? It turned out that her grandaunt had no other children and she died, leaving everything to Klaud Nine.
When Klaud arrived, she arrived in a glittering world of Chanel and brunches; an entire world so opposite of the world she Klaud grew up in. She had to could have chosen the life of a socialite, though instead the stoic and collected Klaud chose another path and started to look for work. Currently, she teaches Literature at Constance - though, the Nine family is known on the Upper East Side.
Questions;
Set I.
Who or what, if anything, would you die for?
I would die for my duty, whatever it may be. At this moment, it would be my students, whom I care for deeply. After all, they are our future, are they not? It is my responsibility that they are safe, and if it means my life to save theirs, then I will gladly give it up.
Would you rather learn everything there is to know, or experience everything there is to experience?
It could be argued that one cannot learn everything without experience everything. Though, you cannot experience everything without learning all there is to know. It is impasse, you cannot have one without the other.
What is your guilty pleasure?
... a woman such as myself should not have a guilty pleasure. Though, I must admit that I do enjoy the occasional night at the opera or even a dance performance. Alone
Which would you rather give up: television or books?
I would prefer to live with books more than television. During my life, I have not found television to be ... that exceptional. I am fond of classic literature and some contemporary authors as well.
Your hearing, or your eyesight?
You can see all there is to see in the world more than once; you cannot hear all there is to hear.
What is your favorite thing to do when you’re alone?
I like to drink wine and enjoy an evening to myself. There are no distractions and I am alone with my thoughts, allowing me to focus on the tasks ahead.
Do you believe in God?
Yes, I do. I believe there is a higher power that we all serve by doing good in this world. Through that, we can achieve true self satisfaction.
Set II.
Describe how you met your best friend.
I met my best friend at my birth. My mother was always more than just my maternal guardian. She was the one present on my first day of school, the first time someone made me cry, the first one to foster my love for the wide world and ... so much more. Even though I had class friends, and friends within the troupe, whenever I would be in the country, my entire trip was worth just to see my mother's face.
Describe the most difficult experience you have ever had to deal with.
It was a day just like any other, I would think. I was ... with the others before the we were told to go back to our quarters. I wanted just some more time to perfect this step. The electrician did not realize that there was someone below, and there was a short circuit that caused the rigging to fall and crush me. For a few months, I thought that my life was over. My face, my legs, my career ... were finished. I thought that I would never go on. It was my mother and father, and God that told me that I had to move on because my life was not over, but there were others that wanted to do what I had once been able to. I took those as my students.
