Mokley, I included the ideas we had shared for Chiudka and Tjasa's relationship, I hope that is OK?
I am open to ideas and suggestions for improvement.
Name: Tjasa Kuznetsova
Age: 17
Appearance:
Tjasa has dark red hair (darker than the picture) and green eyes. She is fairly tall for a woman, but not exceptionally so. She both loves and is good at sewing and embroidery, so her clothing is always well made and intricately embroidered (even when it is not practical for it to be so).
Occupation:
Tjasa serves as her father's housekeeper and cook since her mother's death, and in general does all the womanly tasks for her household, which consists of her father, and herself. She also dyes cloth and thread for other women.
History:
Tjasa's mother, Bronislava, was a beautiful woman, and Jaroslav (Tjasa's father) had a great deal of competition for her hand, at least by village standards.Tjasa was born within a year of their marriage, and Jaroslav, who as the village smith was, and is, a large and intimidating man, proved to be a gentle and loving father, if a bit overprotective. Branislava's sister Chiudka also took a shine to Tjasa.
Except for the normal childhood woes, all was well with Tjasa's world until her tenth year. Her mother took ill over the winter, and gradually wasted away. Tjasa, and Jaroslav, were heart broken. Tjsa took over the role of woman of the house under Chiduka's guidance. Many young women would resent this, but Tjasa has no signs that she objects. It needs to be done, after all.
Tjasa has a reputation for being absent minded and quite curious, or as the old women put it, nosey. They mutter that on one of her trips into the woods to gather plants and berries to make into dye, she will wander so far investigating this and that, that she will forget her way home. She is also a little soft spoken.
Tjasa has inherited her mother's beauty, but seems oblivious to any efforts to gain her favor, which is just as well, for Jaroslav has made it quite clear that he will have a little 'talk' with anyone attempting to court her without his hard won approval. The old women of the village mutter that if Jaroslav isn't careful, Tjasa will end up a spinster like Chiduka.
