Yevgenia Zaitseva

Yevgania Dmitrievna Zaitseva (née Pavlova) (1895-1965) was a Russian pure-blood witch, socialite and the first daughter and child of Dmitri Pavlov and Maria Pavlova (née Smirnova). She was said to have her father's features, but inherited her mother's striking golden-blonde hair. She was born into the rich Pavlov family (though their wealth started declining during the early 1910s) and was thrust into the social scene at a very young age. Yevgenia was a frail girl (both physically and mentally) and often got sick, so she had to stay at home a lot. She spent a lot of time with her nanny, Olga, forming a strong relationship with her. Olga was someone she always confided in, even after she got older. 
Yevgenia was childhood friends with her future husband Artem. Their parents arranged their marriage and they got married in 1913. Yevgenia was eighteen and Artem was nineteen. Out of the blue, Yevgenia's father died two months before the wedding. His death destroyed her mentally, as she was very close with her father. Yevgenia was in a bad state to attend the wedding, but was still forced by her mother and future parents-in-law to proceed with the plans anyway. 
After their marriage, Yevgenia and Artem still had a 'friends' sort of relationship, but they slowly fell in love with each other. After almost two years, their friends and family could tell that they were the love of each other's lives. Subsequently, Artem became one of the only people Yevgenia trusted (along with her nanny Olga, her best friend Polina and her brother Grigoriy) and Artem was the only one who could calm her down whenever she had mental breakdowns. He was also the only one that - as Yevgenia wrote in a letter to Olga - 'the only one in the whole wide world that understands me'. 
The year after their marriage, they had their first child and son, Daniil. Yevgenia was only nineteen. They were pressured by their parents to have a baby quickly, and it had to be a boy. Yevgenia, already deeply saddened by her father's death, often had anxiety attacks because of the constant pressure and her mental health went spiralling down during and after the pregnancy. Two years later, they had twin boys, Vasily and Valeriy. Yevgenia went on to have two miscarriages, which deeply affected her mental health. 
After the second miscarriage, her mental health was at a whole time low and Yevgenia contracted a serious fever soon after. With her frail body and terrible state of mind, she tragically died at the young age of 24. Daniil was thirteen and the twins Vasily and Vitaly were only eleven. 
Yevgenia's children were devastated by her death, especially Daniil, who never fully recovered from this event. In a letter from Artem to his good friend Pasha, he said 'The children, especially Vasily, cannot seem to sleep. Valeriy frequently tells me that he has nightmares and Daniil turns much more in his sleep. At times, a servant reports to me after their curfew that Daniil would be found reading in the library. And when asked the reason, he said that he could not sleep because he 'misses his mother too much'. Valeriy is occasionally found in the garden, zoned out and staring at the daisies - Yevgenia's favourite flowers. Vasily sometimes stays up after his curfew to talk to me about Yevgenia, and in truth, I do not mind, as I often cannot sleep either.' To honour Yevgenia, Vasily later named his first daughter after her. 
Artem, blaming his parents and Yevgenia's mother for his wife's death, refused to let them attend her funeral and only invited their siblings along with their closets friends (Olga, Polina, Pasha, Maria and Oleg). After Artem died many years later, he requested to be buried next to her, along with their unmarried son Valeriy, who had died a year prior.
