[color=lightgray][table][row][/row][row][cell][right][h3][color=a187be][i][b]Tatiana Lobov Newnan[/b][/i][/color][/h3][sup]"Protection comes in many forms."[sup] - Strength isn't always about muscle.[/sup][/sup][/right] [b][color=a187be]⚘ Looking Inside[/color][/b] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A cunning woman, Tatiana can act in a rather scheming and ruthlessly determined way. She is crafty and shrewd: being rather astute and having rather keen powers of judgement when it comes to people. She is clever and sharp-witted: perceptive and observant about her surroundings in both location and the people around her. Alert and ever crafty. Steady and resolute she is resolved in her determination and unrelenting in her perception. A persistent woman, she is steadfast and unyielding about matters. Capable of much, she is concerned about the safety of those around her and safeguards them as much as possible in her actions and plans. Mindful and vigilant she is wary and careful. Tatiana can be cautious and has many reservations. Vague about details and reluctant to share. Noncommittal and discreet is perhaps not an obvious choice to describe her ways but they are more than accurate. She is leery: wary due to realistic suspicions. Skeptical and not easily convinced she is ever questioning. She is unpredictable and temperamental, having drastic changes in her mood and actions that come on suddenly and without warning. Volatile: she is liable to change rapidly and unpredictably, especially for the worse. Strained by events, she is tense and uncomfortable around most. Suspicious, she is obsessively anxious and mistrustful, having an appalling dread in her that makes her overly cautious around people to an extreme. Update: Tatiana has done well in therapy and has been able to deal with many of the issues that were plaguing her when she entered Camp Mexico Beach. That being said, it does not mean she is the bubbly girl she once was. She has hardened a lot and that cannot be undone. The world took its tole and somethings cannot be healed, only managed. She is still suspicious about new people but she isn't obsessively anxious anymore or cautious to an extreme. In fact she is more willing to take chances these days. [color=a187be][b]⚘ A Brief History[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Pre-Outbreak] [color=a187be][b]Growing Up:[/b][/color] Tatiana was born to Name and Name in Kirov, Kirov Oblast, USSR. This was during the tail end of U.S.S.R. and she was forced from Kirov to many other places in Eastern Europe throughout childhood as a refugee. Jumping from camp to camp to avoid the wars that always occurred when a large empire crumbles to dust. This continued for years and put her through what she believe would end up being the hardest years of her life, including watching her parents be executed in the street in front of her as she hid under a dead body. Once the fall of the Soviet Union settled down she was able to return back to the city of her birth. There she stayed, living in peace, studying ballet and going to school until her sixteenth year. An American Ballet Company offered her a chance to move to the U.S.A. to study. She jumped at the chance and was eager to start a new life in a new world. It would be a chance to become something other than just another local girl who dreamed of becoming a Prima. [color=a187be][b]Adulting:[/b][/color] Transferring to the U.S. was difficult, since she did not speak the language but with the help of tutors she was able to grasp the language and ended up getting her GED while working with the ABC to further her dance interests. Ballet came first, everything else was second. This was how things had to be if she ever wished to become something great. Though it seemed not to matter how good of a dancer she was or how much talent lay within her, due to her build she was always placed at the back of the pack. In 2005 she opted to try taking a new direction with her dance and decided to move to Las Vegas Nevada. A city of Sin perhaps but also a place where those whose dreams would not come true elsewhere could come true there. That is if the luck of the draw was in your favor. For Tatiana it was. She found work with a production company as a back up stage dancer and quickly worked her way up to be the headlining performer. For the year before the outbreak she was happier than she ever had been, dancing on stage six nights a week as the star of a show that was designed just for her. She thought the worst in life was finally behind her, she was so terribly wrong. [/hider] [hider=Post-Outbreak] [color=a187be][b]Your First Walker Encounter:[/b][/color] Rumors had been going around about how other areas of the country were falling to a flue type outbreak but in the middle of the Nevada desert things seemed okay. That was until it wasn't. The fever began to take people and soon the city of sin was turned into a war zone; one that reminded Tatiana of the cities back in Russia when things collapsed. Resources were low and it was hundreds of miles to get to the next city; people rioted but the shows had to go on and did until the very end. During what turned out to be Tatiana's last performance a man took ill during the first act, he was dead by the end of it and everything was put on pause while they awaited EMT's to remove the body. Tatiana was standing on stage watching as the scene unfolded and was horrified when she saw what she thought was a dead man grab one of the EMT's and start to rip the mans flesh off his bones with his teeth. She ran off backstage and grabbed her things before heading out the back door and into the streets; her survival instincts kicked in; at least flight had at that point. [color=a187be][b]Those First Years:[/b][/color] For the first few weeks after the outbreak began Tatiana spent locked up either at the performance hall she used to perform at or locked away in her apartment. Her life growing up as a refuge and in a crumbling economic setting had created a bit of a hoarder within her. Ever since she had become comfortable in Vegas she had kept supplies. Food, bottle water, medicine. Anything she came across that she wished she had had more of during those refuge years made its way into her apartment. She ended up deciding one day to try to see what was going on outside and began to search the streets; trying to find information if things would get any better since the net and tv no longer worked. Maybe she would find someone she knew. It would be something; anything was better than the solitude at that point. Solitude was the worst part of being a refuge after the starvation and pain. Sometimes it could actually be worse. Tatiana was rounded up and taken to a camp, a supposed safe zone. She knew better than that. The place was like every other refuge or interment camp she had ever been in. It was no better. This many people who were hungry and scared crowded together in a small space never did well, add to that that there was an illness of some sorts causing things to go wrong made it so much worse. Disease spread in small confines. The only solace she found was when Davina found her. The two made a plan to get out and get away. Since then they have been together; jumping from group to group when needed but mostly trying to stick it out on their own. The less people in a group that better. Two seems to be their perfect number. Both know enough to balance out the other and keep the pair going. Whether it is when Davina has to con a group to let them in for a short time or they are stranded in the middle of no where and Tatiana has to use skills she wished she would never have to again to keep them going. Either way the pair have survived this long and made it almost to the east coast after all this time.[/hider] [hider=Since Entering RP] [color=a187be][b]Carrollton:[/b][/color] In Carrollton she lost track of Davi, who had been with her since the beginning of the outbreak and through the entire trek to the east coast. Where she went Tatiana does not know. Tatiana ducked down in a closet in the DMV in Carrollton, when she came out Davi was gone and a man was there: Jack. The two stuck it out together for the next few weeks, moving through Carrollton to collect supplies and get to know each other. [color=a187be][b]Newnan:[/b][/color] Arriving in Newnan was interesting. Tatiana was scared but had Jack. She got to know the people there, taught some dance classes but mostly studied psychology and learned how to counsel people. She became the main therapist for Newnan. Tatiana married Jack in Newnan and had a lovely wedding. The day Newnan fell Tatiana chased an orange cat into the distillery. The two ducked into a stand alone freezer when the place caught on fire and went up in smoke. Tatiana awoke later that day to find Newnan burning. She escaped with another and that damn cat following her. [color=a187be][b]The Road:[/b][/color] Tatiana kept trekking, leaving markings behind so that Jack could find her if he was still alive. She gave birth to Jamie in the woods, days later - alone - she left and kept moving on. On the road, she was captured by a group who took Jamie hostage. Tatiana did what was needed to ensure the life of her child. Tatiana kept traveling with the group despite the burns and branding and other methods of torture she survived. Jamie kept getting older, Tatiana kept an eye out and leaving a trail when she could. [color=a187be][b]Reunited:[/b][/color] It was raining and dark when Tatiana jumped out of a moving car after seeing the Hordebuster in the road. A fight ensued but in the end she was reunited with Ash, Jack, Riley, and Amelia. Finishing off the group that took her hostage, Tatiana kept moving with Jack and Jamie south, following Ash's orders. They ended up in Florida after a time and met a group from a local safe zone: the first Tatiana had seen since Newnan. [color=a187be][b]Camp Mexico Beach:[/b][/color] Tatiana went into Quarantine. She ate, punched Ash, taught Ballet, did her chores, kept otherwise to herself. The interview was long and in Russian. Tatiana then moved into an apartment with Jack that had a room for Jamie and a local to help get them settled. Over the six months after the quarantine Tatiana attended many therapy sessions to work through her issues. As she did it caused a rift between her and Jack. They are still together but Tatiana doesn't look at him the same way she used to, currently they are mostly just together because they are comfortable enough around each other and want to be a support system for Jamie. Tatiana is considering full separation. [/hider] [color=a187be][b]⚘ Relations[/b][/color] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [hider=Major][right][sub][h3][b][color=steelblue]Ash Holloway[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup]"Oh da, there is something you need knov." [sup]- Said right before Tatiana decked Ash[/sup][/sup][/right] Tatiana met Ash in Newnan back when he was the leader. She worked with Ash very little but she talked to him a lot, following him around and poking him with a stick to talk. He married both her and Jack in Newnan before it fell and once the group met back up together he was named Jamie's Godfather. After they reached Camp Mexico Beach, Ash found Thana and he stepped down from being Jamie's God father, that was after she punched him. It was for the best. The man is the closest thing she has to a brother and she is closer to Ash than most anyone, probably even her husband at this point. [/hider] [hider=Minor][right][sub][h3][b][color=598527]Wayne Maldonado[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup]"Holy fuck Batman!" [sup]- Said right after Tatiana decked Ash[/sup][/sup][/right] Tatiana met Wayne in Quarantine. He was different but got her and Jamie juice, seemed to look out for her and the baby, and stood up for her when others turned against her. Wayne started taking on the role that Ash was stepping down on and Tatiana ended up letting Wayne watch Jamie from time to time in Quarantine. He seems calmer with the baby around than when left to his own devices. Tatiana started teaching Wayne ballet, he sucks but she still works with him. Wayne has become one of Tatiana's most trusted confidant as he is usually the one watching over Jamie these days. [right][sub][h3][b][color=dc143c]Thalia Carmichael[/color][/b][/h3][/sub] [sup]"Da, I vill teach you" [sup]- About teaching Thalia ballet[/sup][/sup][/right] Over the first six months, Thalia and Tatiana were around each other a lot due to training and Thalia wanting to learn ballet. The two have become good friends even if they really don't say a lot to each other. They push each other during training and when they aren't they are much like the silent female version of Hank and Wayne - a lot of nods and grunts while looking at other people.
