Tatiana Andropov
“There is no good and evil, there is only power... and those too weak to seek it.”
- Tatiana Andropov
Tatiana Nika Andropov (b. December 13, 1980) is the Crime Lord of Burden City and is going by at the moment as 'Lady Ana'. She is not a born resident of it, but rather an immigrate from Russia who took over the city's criminal underworld after the death of her father by her own hands and taking over his criminal syndicate.
Biography
Tatiana was born to Dmitri Aleksandr Andropov and Ekaterina Inga Andropov (nee Borisova) in St. Petersburg, Russia. She is the only child of the couple, as her mother died giving birth to her. Her father, a hardened Russian mafia leader that only showed his soft side to his wife, became bitter and couldn't bare to look at the baby thinking it was the reason his beloved wife died. After that, he left Tatiana in the care of anyone that wasn't him. He ignored her while he continued to do his work in different parts of the world until he was forced to summon her to the United States (where he currently was, specifically Burden City) when the police forces in Russia were closing in on his original headquarters.
She had no issues with her father, happy to avoid him, until one day he came across her and suddenly assaulted and brutally attacked her after carrying a grudge against her for killing his wife and looking like her. After that, her father began to abuse her, emotionally, physically and sexually. She then despised her father then and there, all of her loathing coming to a boiling point one night when she was graduating from a music school and he caught her with another boy. The night ended with two dead bodies - the boy and her father - and her with a chemical wound and a new tattoo her father inflicted on her.
She now rules Burden City with an iron fist after she took over his crime syndication and gave it more power than ever before, just as cruel if not more cruel than her father could have ever imagined in his life. Dimitri wanted an heir when he first learned of his wife's pregnancy to continue his crime syndicate, believing that she couldn't possibly live up to his expectations. Well, the woman that Tatiana is today has proven him wrong.
Appearance
Tatiana is an extremely attractive woman, inheriting her mother's beauty but certainly not her petite figure. She has long, blood red hair and alluring blue eyes. She has pale skin with a rosy tint, flawless if not for the chemical wound got when she was younger and the tattoo of the symbol of the Andropov family - a phoenix, tribal fashion - that's on her left hip. She's 5 feet and 5 inches, with a full and seductive form to match her good looks.
Personality
Tatiana is, on the surface to all those she cannot trust, a sophisticated and charming woman that keeps a calm smile or a seductive smirk on her lip no matter what happens or how someone is acting to her. She is put together and is a level headed person, never letting anyone get to her no matter how hard they try or how stressful the situation is. But under that supposedly cool demeanor is a ruthlessly efficient and dangerous seductress, a control freak who demands the best from her minions and will not tolerate anyone crossing her in the slightest. She may claim to not have an ego, but after years of being the top dog in Burden City it did give her a large dose of self-entitlement. She does not like it when others attempt one up her. If they do so, they will pay for it in equal retribution.
She is a very complex person with many facets to her character. She is a paradoxical person that says one thing but does another thing just seconds after saying it. She is both a Renaissance woman and a hedonist. A person of knowledge and chastity but also a seeker of debauched pleasure. Cool to the touch with her trained detachment against the world but burns you at the same time with her passion if she is willing to unleash it on you. She demands the truth from you but will not trust you at all. She hates to fight but is willing to spill blood. She is, most of all, mysterious. An enigma to all.
Intelligent, icy, smart and dangerously tempting is what describes her the best. But there's much more to this woman than meets the eye, and very few have been able to crack through her barriers. One thing is for certain: She is a strong woman and will not break. If anything, she will break you.
