Background
Just about everyone thought that Tatiana was a perfect little angel. Everyone except her older sister Katja, that is,
who knew what a little imp she could be. Even so, Tatiana's reputation remained unscathed for the longest time no matter what she did, with Katja always getting the
blame. Just like any little sister, one could say.
T
his daughter of Oksana Voschanov Borodin (Katja's mother) and the eccentric Lazaros Tolstoy (Nikolai's younger brother) turned out to be since Nadia's death, surprisingly, an even more wretched cook than Nadia was! However, she was also truly charming, and always seemed to get her way, even with the Gaje.
Last year she was of marrying age, and her vitsa (the Fiery Dawn) was looking dilegently for a good husband
for her. However, it was discovered that she had a crush on the dark and vengeful Scottish lord Edward Campbell, which
caused a lot of trouble for her, not to mention the Kumpania, who were sworn enemies of the Scottish Regiment at the time. Leave it to Tatiana to get in such trouble!
She also mastered the finer points of blackmail once she found out her cousin Larysa was in love with one of the rogues of the Midnight Sands. Larysa was *very* kind to Tatiana for some time after that, .
Unfortunately, when we were again forced into conflict with the barbaric Scots this past spring, Tatiana favoured them too much, and betrayed her people by loving our enemy. Nikolai was forced to exile her from the Kumpania forever for breaking virtually every Romani tradition concerning the Gaje.
However, this tale's ending is not entirely a sad one. Tatiana always seemed more Gaje than Roma, and she is happy now, wed to a Scotsman and living the life of his people. We miss her, but it was for the best, for her heart lay elsewhere
