Manip - Ensign Pavla Chekova
Title: Ensign Pavla Chekova
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Timeline: AOS Genderbend AU
Characters: Pavel Chekov
Rating: G
Tagline: Ellen Paige as female!Chekov.
Series: Rule 63 Trek
Notes: This one was hard. I spent hours searching for Russian actresses but I didn't have much luck: they either had too little choice of pics (and I like to pick celebrities that offer plenty of pics, for my manips) or they just didn't feel like the perfect choice. So I had to broad the search with young actresses and yeah, Ellen Paige seemed to work. She isn't in any way related to Russia though. :(
Notes 2 (12/2021): It has been brought to my attention that the actress who once went by the name Ellen has come out and now goes by he/they under the chosen name Elliot. This fancasting was picked in 2016, when this piece was put together and originally published, and does reflect who Elliot went by at the time (she/Ellen). For these reasons, I won't cancel or remake this manip with another fancasting, but I felt the note was necessary to acknowledge that this fancasting couldn't work anymore and I would pick another actress if I were to make it in 2021.
This might be a good reason to headcanon Pavla as coming out and becoming Pavel in a time after this (fake) pic was supposed to be taken. ;)
About the name: The feminine form for Pavel is Pavla. In Russia, surnames get a feminine form for daughters, so Chekova.
In "Parallel lives" (Star Trek 29/30), the female Chekov is called Pavlovna Chekov. I originally named the female counterpart of Chekov months before the comic came out for a WIP fic, and I like my choice better.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): This cosplayer, as Jane Kirk, did an amazing photoshoot, with even two shots with her with tribbles: sadly, the pics aren't much big and they're jpgs of not so decent quality. Well, at least I learned how shadows work and tried to replicate them as best as I could.
