**Tatiana Feodorovna** (Greek: Τατιάνα Φεοντορόβνα; 30 December 1787 – 2021) was the Tsarina of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania as the spouse of Tsar Nicholas II. She is the mother of the current Tsarina of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania; Anastasia Alexandrovna and the posthumous mother-in-law of Fuyu Tsuyuri. Originally **Princess Charlotte of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland** by birth, she was given the name and patronymic *Tatiana Feodorovna* when she converted to Russian Orthodoxy. She and her immediate family are all members of the Imperial Family and the House of Romanov; though born as a simple English Princess, she would eventually grow into Nero Austria`s most beloved ruler, having been given the posthumous name of *"Mother of the Nation"*. She guided the nation throughout some of the toughest areas in history; a feat that most rulers failed to do in their lifetimes, and she singhandingly quelled a rebellion, earning a score of admirers and people who adored her, as well as a high score of enemies. She and her husband were killed during an attack on their Empire`s chapel in 2021; being killed by falling rubble. In 2067 the Russian Orthodox Church`s Nero Austrian branch canonized her as **Saint Tatiana the Apostle**.

A favourite granddaughter of Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of the Underworld, Tatiana was, like her grandmother, one of the most famous royal carriers of the disease of haemophilia. She bore several hemophiliac heirs (apparent and presumptive), with only three of her children (Anastasia, Igor and Annika) being neither hemophiliac or showing signs of possessing the disease.

## Appearance and personality

Tatiana was noted to be a beautiful young woman during the course of her life; even her killers admitted as such before she was tragically and brutally murdered by them. Her maternal grandmother Queen Isabella later wrote that "she [Tatiana] was such a lovely child and inspirational person during the entirety of her time living in the Mortal World; yet her life was ended by such scoundrels!" She was often described as quite "sensitive" and possessing a "far more gentler stature and aura" than that of her siblings-in-laws; her husband described her as "tall...and quite fragile-looking, her frame seemed as if it would snap if enough pressure was exerted on it." In 1896, her lady-in-waiting Martha Alexandrovna described her as "a tall slight girl, with rather serious and cold features, a classic profile, and a lovely figure...[and] fair hair that drew away from the sheer and bitterness her features seemly displayed." Alexandrovna further said, "I remember thinking that she was always bitter and cold, maybe emotionless; she would never speak in a emotion-filled tone. The general impression she gave off was that of one akin to a waiting leopard, waiting for a moment to strike at her targets with enormous killing intent." Another lady-in-waiting Marchioness Manya Buxhoeveden, one of Sophia Buxhoeveden`s older sisters (a lady-in-waiting to Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna), said that she was "a tall, slim girl" with "blood-chilling eyes," "rather harsh facial expressions," a "very good complexion," and "beautiful golden locks of hair." An Imperial courtier commented that "she was quite beautiful even though most people considered her cold and unaffectionate towards her husband." In 1905, Pierre Gilliard (the French language tutor to the Romanov children) wrote that "the foreign Empress was as beautiful as the morning sun. Tall and slender much like our gracious and most noble Tsarina, she carries none of the nervousness that our Empress carries, she carries herself with grace and a great amount of pride."

Tatiana was shy. When her grandmother Queen Isabella insisted that she play a violin solo for her entire family, she felt that her "clammy hands...were literally glued to the strings of her instrument" and later described the experience as "extremely nerve-racking" and "confidence-breaking" in her preserved letters to her late adoptive daughter; Annika Feodorovna. Though her facial expressions seemed to make her seem confident, inside she was extremely shy and struggled majorly in all situations where she had to interact with people, though she unwittingly charmed people.

## Early life

    Tatiana was born on 6 June at Buckingham Palace in Westminster as Princess *Charlotte Alice Victoria Helena Louise Beatrice* of the United Kingdom, a former Empire during it`s hayday. She was the sixth child and sixth daughter among the thousands of children (legitimized, natural, or born out of wedlock) of Prince Michael of the United Kingdom and his first wife, Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom, the youngest daughter of the Russian Tsar Peter the Great and his second wife, Catherine I of Russia.

Charlotte was baptized on 1 July (her parents' tenth wedding university) in the Christian Anglican Church and given the first name of her great-grandmother Charlotte III of Andalor, the middle name of her half-sister Princess Alice, the first name of her mother Margaret of the United Kingdom and that of her eldest sister Princess Margaret, the close personal family friend of her mother Duchess Helena Louise and the eldest of her younger siblings, the stillborn baby Princess Beatrice of Clarence. Her mother wrote to Tsarina Catherine, "‘I have long resented the naming culture of the United Kingdom, what kind of name is ‘Alice’? It annoys and vexes me that my husband has seen it fit to give the child that ugly and insignificant man of little importance! Your name would have far more suitable mother, it conveys power, intrigue, and is an excellent choice. I bemoan the fact that my husband is such an oaf!” Her mother gave her the nickname of "Tati", to honor her late maternal grandmother Grand Duchess Tatiana Petrovna of Russia, a decision that would later infuriate and mentally destroy her father, as he had wanted to give her a nickname of her own. He would eventually coin the nickname of "Cinder" for her, as she enjoyed carving images of flames, these images would serve to make her father closer to her as both of them enjoyed carving wood structures and figurines together in order to soothe the often raging and hotheaded nature of Alexandra (her mother).

Charlotte`s godparents were the Prince Imperial and Princess Imperial, Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania (her future siblings in-law), Grand Duchess Galina Isabella Maria of Russia, Grand Duchess Adelaida of Nero Austria, the eldest sister of the Prince Imperial and the favorite sister-in-law of the Princess Imperial. Her other godparents were Grand Duchess Agnessa Alexandrovna; a notorious and often controversial figure in the Imperial Family who often disgraced the family by attempting to cause conflict between both of Charlotte`s parents (which much to the dismay of the Imperial Court worsened the divide between the two), something that Charlotte later grew to resent her for. Grand Duchess Aleksandra Alexandrovna and Grand Duchess Aleandra Alexandrovna eventually began to serve in the roles of "mother" and "father" for Charlotte.

Charlotte`s older brother Prince Fredrick of the United Kingdom ("Fred") suffered from hemophilia and died on the morning of May the 1st after a fall, when Charlotte was about one year old. Of her siblings, Charlotte was closest to Princess Maria ("Mary"), who was about three years older; they were nicknamed the "terror duo" due to the mischief they would cause when their parents weren`t looking after them.

In November, the disease known as diphtheria infected the entire Imperial Family; Charlotte, her five sisters, her brother Abraham ("Abe"), and both of her parents fell victim. Elisabeth ("Ella"), Charlotte`s second-oldest sister, had previously caught the disease and never recovered from the extreme strain it had had taken on her body to fight it off, eventually dying in late April of the previous year. Charlotte`s maternal aunt Feodora tended to the children and their parents, having made the choice not to turn them over to nurses and doctors fearing that they might be poisoned or even assassinated in their sleep by anarchists'. Feodora fell ill and died on 14 December, when Charlotte was nineteen years old. This was the 19th anniversary of Feodora`s own husband`s death. Maria survived, but several of her sisters (both older and younger) did not. After the deaths of her parents and several of her sisters, Charlotte became extremely reserved, withdrawn, sharp-tongued and extremely antisocial as she feared losing more of her loved ones. She described her childhood before the deaths of her parents and several of her sisters as "great happiness, of perpetual sunshine, then of an overwhelming darkness that blanketed everything in its path of destruction".

Queen Isabella and her consort Queen Katherine doted on the parentless Charlotte and became the surrogate parents to Charlotte. They felt highly protective of Charlotte and declared that "while both of us live Charlotte, til she is married, will be more than simply our goddaughter and granddaughter, but rather our loving daughter." Charlotte`s tutors were handpicked and both of the Queens personally instructed and tutored the young Princess in matters of the state, governmental policies, political influence, science, magic, reading, writing, archery, acrobatics, ruling, among other things. She invited Charlotte and her surviving siblings to the Kingdom of the Underworld for their holidays, and they grew closer to their deceased siblings, as well as their surviving Russian cousins. Every birthday and Christmas, they always had a huge celebration with the entire Imperial Family assembled, even those from the Russian House of Romanov, the Nero Austrian House of Romanov, the Andalorian House of Romanov, the Winian House of Romanov as well as the Japanese House of Romanov. Unlike her other siblings, Charlotte signed her letters to Queen Isabella and Queen Catherine with "your loving and extremely grateful child and daughter, Tati," rather than grandchild or even more simply granddaughter, even though she was technically the granddaughter to Queen Isabella and her consort Queen Katherine. Charlotte even wrote that she saw her maternal grandparents as "quite passionate about their love for me and my siblings," "people who cared about us when our "dear" parents unleashed their biting words on each other, as if doing so would erase their pain," "my dearest parents," and "the dearest and kindest People alive." When she was betrothed to Nicholas, Charlotte assured them that "my marrying will [not] make a difference, for as long as I live and breath the air of the Mortal World, I will always express my love for you." When Queen Katherine died on August 12 of that year, Charlotte was shocked and began experiencing mental breakdowns, which left her hesitant to act, bothered by repressed memories of her early childhood and forced all of her repressed feelings to the surface. This shocked the Russian courtiers who considered her as "akin to a statute; cold and unfeeling, a face carved of stone, no facial expressions, the epitome of emotionlessness."

Along with her sister, Princess Elisabeth, Charlotte was a bridesmaid at the November 11th wedding of her godmother and maternal grandmother, Queen Isabella, to Princess Alma of Denmark. At the age of twenty, she attended a tea party hosted in Denmark by the-then King and Queen of Denmark; Christian VIII and Charlotte Frederica on 23 April 1807. Charlotte was constantly offended by the Queen and despaired the fact that "she was simply put an walking disaster case", eventually deciding to leave as she felt offended by her rude behavior.

In 29 March 1809, the now twenty-one-year-old Princess traveled to Florida in the United States of America after having suffered from several strokes, as her doctor ordered her to rehabilitate herself in a warm climate. While relaxing, she encountered an large, extremely hungry alligator and had to be pulled out of the water, as she was going into shock from having the reptile **extremely** close to her face, as if he was about to eat her. At this point, the Princess made it quite clear that she was going back to her native England and after acquiring the necessary permission to leave, left the country without much fanfar.

## Proposed matches

    Queen Isabella greatly favored Charlotte and she wanted Charlotte to become the reigning Queen of t the Underworld, which she considered "the greatest position there is, yet it holds a great deal of responsibilities." On 2 March 1814, she wrote to Charlotte`s third-oldest sister Katya that "My deepest desire and wish is for Charlotte to have a kingdom of her own, no man will willingly rule over her, **she** will be the final authority." While she organized many possible matches for her granddaughter, she wasn`t willing to pressure her into choosing any of them until she was ready to decide and Isabella refused to let any of the parents of her granddaughter`s possible future spouse decide the terms. This terms infuriated many of the Imperial Princess`s possible suitors and intimidated the rest into submission; Charlotte was reputed to have been torn between exasperation, happiness, and laughter when she received the news. In 1815, when the Princess had just turned twenty-seven years-old, she was individually courted by two Grand Dukes of Russia; Grand Duke Nicholas Pavlovich of Russia and Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia (even though the former was already married). Charlotte was disgusted with Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich and instantly rejected his marriage proposal, without any trace of the kindness she used to gently reject his younger brother; Grand Duke Nicholas Pavlovich. Her grandmother, Queen Isabella, later wrote of the incident that "she is a free spirit; fierce and cunning. I shudder to think of the confrontation he would have had, if his new wife demanded to know why he was cheating on her with another woman. I shudder to think. My granddaughter`s reputation would be shattered; men are such idiots, the lot of them I swear." Similarly all of her other grandchildren were unwilling to accept Grand Duke Konstantin and shared a great amount of loathing for the Russian Imperial Court. Charlotte`s youngest older sister Ella vehemently opposed the match because "he [Konstantin] doesn`t look very kind. A real basket case that one. A completely uppity Grand Duke who dares believe that he is worthy to marry our family`s darling Charlotte, I think not!" In May 1817, Charlotte wrote individual letters to both Nicholas and Konstantin. In her letter to Nicholas, she stated "that he was extremely kind and just, she just couldn`t marry him as she desired the heart of another." Her letter to Konstantin was less kind as she was stated to have written the words "I feel no affection towards a man who has a mistress! Shame on you! I have no intention of marrying men that are already married." She wrote to her grandmother that she would marry Nicholas if the person she "promised" her heart to was proclaimed dead but she would continue to resist as long as he breathed in the same air as she did. Her grandmother was notably intrigued and allowed her to find him, so that she could marry him.

## Engagement

In 1818, Charlotte attended the wedding of her sister Elaine to Christopher II in the capital of the Winian Empire. At this wedding, the 30-year-old Charlotte reunited with her childhood friend, the 29-year-old Grand Duke Nicholas, nephew of the groom and heir-apparent to the imperial throne of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania. He later wrote in his diary of Charlotte; "such a fierce woman. Even if she is "past" regular marrying age, I find myself drawn to her beauty and enchanted by her fascination in science and the solar system. Truly she has never changed a bit, though she has become more mature and less inclined to be impulsive. I am so lucky, for she alone holds my heart. My treasure, my love, and the person I would give the entire world." As a sign of his affection towards Charlotte, he gave her the repaired broach of his own mother; a gift that shocked even Queen Isabella (the former`s grandmother). They would go onto to scratch their names together into a window pane as well as pose for a painting together with the rest of their families (immediate and extended).

In January 1819, Charlotte visited her sister Elaine in Winia. She, Elaine, and Christopher skated together, accompanied each other to tea parties and discussed her future marriage prospects. Christopher mused on the reluctance of her "best friend" to announce his proposal to her already, which Charlotte in a fit of frustration stated was "Nicholas simply being the same stubborn curmudgeon as ever. Stubborn and steadfast; the perfect idiot really." Eventually, Christopher escorted her to the capital of the Andalorian Empire so that Charlotte could enjoy the company of Nicholas. The two were not enthusiastic about being left alone without any adult supervision and Charlotte described Nicholas as "truly irritating" during this time.

Charlotte`s sister Ella and her husband Christopher were enthusiastically in favor of the marriage between the two. The future Edward III of Andalor told his mother Empress Elisabeth that "Ella will willingly move heaven and earth for Charlotte`s sake so that she may marry a Grand Duke. It will be the greatest match motivated by the strongest feelings that true love can produce; most specifically the two are childhood friends, this marriage will last. I will personally see to it!" Elaine wrote to Diana, "I wish for my sister`s happiness, this marriage will grant her happiness. God have mercy."

Nicholas and Charlotte were second-cousins through a great-grandmother, Princess Petra of Baden, and they were third cousins once removed through Queen Elisabeth William II of Prussia, who was Charlotte`s great-great-grandfather and Nicholas's great-great-great-grandfather. Nicholas`s mother, Empress Elisabeth Pavlova III of Andalor, was Charlotte`s godmother and the younger sister of Tatiana of Adalor, who married Charlotte`s uncle Peter VII. Her sister Ella had married Nicholas`s uncle Christopher.

Queen Rosemary had (during life) opposed the match to Nicholas. She had a vehement liking for the young Nicholas and approved of the friendship they had, even taking her grandniece to see Nicholas or escorting Nicholas to see her young grandniece; instead she disliked the Nero Austrian Empire and saw it as a "breadbasket of disaster" and Nicholas`s father and was heavily worried that her favorite grandniece would not be safe in Nero Austria. She wrote to Charlotte`s older sister Margaret of her suspicions that Queen Katherine (before her death) and Queen Isabella were encouraging the match. She later wrote in her diary that: “Though the match is politically sound and quite benefentical for the United Kingdom, I despair at the thought of my sweet Charlotte, my sweet grandniece being brutatly killed. I`ve heard the horror stories from the people who have divorced members of that country`s Imperial House and they were not pretty stories. They spoke of constant wars, endless sacrifices, pain, loss, endless and hounding assassins. That is the kind of family that she is marrying into. God bless her that she may escape anything sent her way, whether it be assassins or poison attempts.”

Ferdinand and Hélène were both vehemently opposed to the marriage and didn`t want Charlotte as a daughter-in-law, as they personally feared for her safety. Hélène Feodorovna told her sister Titania of Denmark that as one of her favorite goddaughters, she feared for the personal safety of Charlotte and that though she believed that Charlotte could be an excellent Empress consort, she was fearful at the thought of Charlotte being put in immediate danger or even worst dying. Ferdinand also had similar thoughts to his wife and wished for somebody dispensable, that would act as the "official wife" to his son and population of the entire Empire while his son`s actual wife was Charlotte; a plan that later dismissed after both Nicholas and Charlotte personally vehemently refused to follow through with the plans. Ferdinand favored Grand Duchess Alexandra, the tall, light-haired and blue-eyed daughter of Alexander I of Russia, Tsar of the Russian Empire. Nicholas was not attracted to Alexandra and even became disgusted with the Grand Duchess on several occasions, later remembering that "though the Grand Duchess [Alexandra] was simply put quite beautiful, she was rather rude and nasty towards the only woman who truly holds my heart in her hands, Charlotte. Her beauty was only on the outside rather than on the inside; Charlotte has beauty on both the outside and the inside." Alexandra was personally not opposed to the match and sought to marry the Grand Duke, though he rejected her time-after-time, much to the disappointment of his father who had hoped for Alexandra to become his secondary wife. Ferdinand also sent emissaries to Grand Duchess Elizabeth, sister of Tsar Alexander of Russia and an albeit distant relative of Queen Rosemary. Nicholas was furious and personally escorted the distraught Russian Grand Duchess to see his mother and Charlotte. Elizabeth was unwilling to marry Nicholas and Charlotte instead personally arranged a marriage between her and one of Charlotte`s own nephews Prince Vladimir of Andalor; as her brother had deemed her "incapable having an happy marriage" due to being declared infertile by doctors of the Imperial Russian court, she was quite happy with the arrangement. On 19 November 1827, Charlotte personally escorted Elizabeth down the wedding aisle on her right hand while her brother [Rupert] acted as the wedding officiator. The wedding was rather quiet and private so it didn`t take long for rumors to spread about the missing Russian Grand Duchess and that she was happily married; consequently, Charlotte was implicated as one of the conspirers of this scheme, though this was never proven true by any member of the Russian Imperial Court.

When the health of Nicholas`s father began to waver in 1829, Ferdinand finally gave his consent to marry his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte, and sent him with a letter to deliver to Charlotte after blessing his son [Nicholas] with holy water. Hélène also gave her consent for Nicholas to propose to Charlotte but was initially reluctant to do so until persuaded to by her husband. Nicholas was ecstatic after receiving both the blessing of his father and mother, immediately sailing on a boat to the United Kingdom where he personally handed over a letter to Charlotte.

Instead of the "yes I will marry you" that Nicholas expected, Charlotte shut him down immediately, vehemently refusing to convert to Russian Orthodoxy from her Catholic faith. She wrote to Nicholas that “I cannot [convert to Russian Orthodoxy] against the wishes of my older sister Olympias" because “She has not blessed this marriage, thus I shall never convert till she says yes to this marriage. Otherwise I will personally call off our wedding.” Nicholas was devastated but eventually Olympias consented to the engagement and later on, marriage on 1937 and Charlotte said yes. Following the finalization of the engagement, the couple sought to hide their only daughter (at the time) born out of wedlock by the concealment of magic, ensuring that Olga would only be "born" after the two were already married. In June, Nicholas traveled to the United Kingdom and the couple attended a show at the Opera, where they spent the night in silence, quietly admiring the costumes of the actors. Charlotte became extremely happy after having her engagement finalized that she even wrote to Queen Isabella (her fraternal grandmother) that "happiness is such. My soul simply brims with joy and life." Nicholas later wrote in his diary that "she is my one and true love. At last, we shall be married like I have always wanted. My dream was to spend the rest of my life with her. Now I can; I am so happy that words cannot express my feelings properly!"

## Empress of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania

### **Wedding**

Main Article: *Wedding of Nicholas II and Tatiana Feodorovna*

On 1 November 1844, Ferdinand abdicated at the age of forty-nine. Nicholas was confirmed as Tsar Nicholas II, the very day that his father abdicated. The next day, Charlotte became "Tatiana Feodorovna" observed by all of her future in-laws and in front of members of the Nero Austrian branch of the Russian Orthodox Church. She repudiated Catholic and her former faith in accordance with the laws of the Nero Austrian Empire in order to marry her husband. She took the name *Tatiana*, in order to mimic her aunt-in-law; Tatiana of Andalor. Ferdinand hoped (during his life) that Charlotte would take the name of "Yekaterina" but Tatiana was not a fan of the idea, as she had hoped for one of her female children to have the name of "Yekaterina" instead of her. Nicholas was notably extremely delighted at Charlotte`s choice for her new Russian name, stating that he had a younger sibling that had been named Tatiana: Grand Duchess Tatiana Vladimirovna of Andalor. On 26 November 1844, Tatiana and Nicholas married in the Grand Church of the Absolute Monarchs of Saint Richmondsburg to the great excitement of crowds.

### **Coronation**

Main Article: *Coronation of Nicholas II and Tatiana Feodorovna*

On 14 November 1846, Tatiana and Nicholas were crowned at the Graceling Cathedral in the Fortress of Canterberry.

500,000 people gathered at the capital to watch the entertainment, dine with the new Tsarina and Tsar, as well as their "niece"; who was actually Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna (their disguised daughter), whom a courtly official called "ghastly," "pale" and posessing an "sullen, withdrawn and gloomy nature" that "drew" from the general atmosphere of the people around her. During the party, an assassin attempted to murder the then-24-year-old Grand Duchess Olga in front of the party-goers, though her injury was deemed not serious, the Grand Duchess later "died" and was buried less than a year into the reign of the new Tsar and Tsarina. They chose not to attend the Russian Ambassador hosted in their honor, due to mourning their niece`s death and all foreign ambassadors were ultimately all banned after the "death" of Grand Duchess Olga at the hands of an Russian assassin.

### **Birth of children**

On 30 April 1820, Tatiana gave birth to her eldest child and daughter, Olga (really just a disguised Olga), at the Alexandrovna Palace. The nation rejoiced as Tatiana had produced an heir on the first try, thus allowing the succession to continue unhindered by any sudden and accidental deaths of the future monarch.

### **Relationship with her children**

Tatiana had a distant relationship with Olga; the eldest of her children. This rift would only grow wider as time progressed as Tatiana didn`t spend nearly as much time with Olga as she did with the rest of Olga`s many siblings; something that may have served to widen the rift between the two of them even further.

## Background

Tatiana was the reigning and current Empress consort of the Nero Austrian and Jefrouvanian Empire as the wife to Nicholas II and the mother to Anastasia Alexandrovna; the heir apparent to the Imperial Throne. The favorite granddaughter of Queen Isabella and Queen Catherine; the consort of her grandmother Isabella, she was the youngest daughter of her family`s many children, having originally rejected Nicholas`s proposal, viewing him as underneath her in terms of position. As her grandmothers ruled the Underworld; long considered a place of death, she was technically afforded a great deal of respect in the Mortal World and often acted as the intermediate between the Underworld`s depths and the Mortal Plane. After a great deal of begging, Tatiana reluctantly agreed to marry him, though she often acted in a demeaning or even cruel way towards him; in the end, she accepted it as part of her duties to the Mortal Plane. Upon the birth of their heir apparent; Anastasia Alexandrovna, Tatiana fullheartily expressed her love towards him, finally reciprocating the immense amount of love he had given to her without any signs of restraint. Tatiana and Nicholas II were shown watching their children

## Equipment

**Holy Enchanted Blade**: Tatiana uses a heavily modified Holy Enchanted Blade forged by acclaimed Japanese blade master; Tsurugi Riseki; the ancestor of Aiyuki Riseki and Heisuke Riseki. It is the same as any katana from the handle to directly above the hilt, but above that, the weapon loses its blade and is replaced by a sharp blade similar to that on a pike or a spear that is thousands-of-times stronger than ordinary metal used by the United States` military for warships and war fleets around the world. It ends in a sharp two-headed, slightly oval-shaped razor-sharp bladed end, resembling a fleur de lis in terms of its appearance. The "fleur de lis blade" as it would come to be known, is designed for swiftness and adeptness in battle. It allows for great swiftness, due to it`s light weight and light sheath, in fact it is described as having "no presence". She has also modified the weapon`s sheath to allow her to carry additional weapons, in cause that she cannot draw her sword in time. Her katana's hilt is shaped in the shape of a Narcissus flower with 5 petals; The petal has an dark purple colored core with an black border and her katana itself is lavender-blue in color.

* Her star sign is unknown
* Current concern: She never got to say goodbye to her surviving children before she was killed
* Until her death in 2021, she was one of the youngest surviving grandchildren of Queen Isabella and Queen Katherine of the Kingdom of the Underworld; after her death Princess Elisabeth of Cambridge, her younger sister, became the youngest of those surviving grandchildren.
* Tatiana was the first person of foreign birth as well as one of the highest blue-blooded female aristocrats to marry into the Nero Austrian House of Romanov after the events of the Russian Revolution that deposed the Russian House of Romanov.
	+ In 1995; a member of the Kageyama Family, a family that is long-recognized as the holders of the Reverent Throne and the title of Night Queen married Alexandros Alexandrovich; a nephew of the Tsarina and Tsar.
		- Through her niece-in-law, she is directly related by marriage to the main Kageyama bloodline and distantly related by marriage to the branch house of the Kageyama bloodline.
			* Meaning that Tobio Kageyama as a member of the main Kageyama bloodline is now directly related to the Tsarina and Tsar of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania by the marriage of his older sister (Yuki) to Alexandros Alexandrovich (a close relative and eldest nephew of Nicholas and Tatiana).
				+ It is implied that all members of the Kageyama bloodline (consorts or natural members) have all received titles as Tempest Kunimi is addressed by "Her Holiness", Tobio Kageyama is addressed as "His Imperial Highness Grand Duke Tobio Kaganovich of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania", Miwa Kageyama is addressed as "Her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Miwa Kaganovich of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania" and Lily Akaashi is addressed as "Her Imperial Highness, the Princess Imperial Lily of Nero Austria and Jefrouvania".
* She has several older sisters, the most notorious among them being Princess Phaedra, who orchestrated the burning of the sacred Winter Palace`s famed chapel of Faith and was subsequently sentenced to an insane asylum. One of her older sisters Princess Calliope also shared her name with one of Tatiana`s ladies-in-waiting; Calliope Petrovna.
	+ The most mysterious of her younger sisters is Princess Nefeli; who died underneath mysterious circumstances, widely rumored to be a miscarriage but whom the Historians of the Empire refer to as "the poisoned British Princess", implying that they may have some evidence that Princess Nefeli was actually poisoned instead of dying underneath "suspicious circumstances".
* She was called **Bloody Mary** because it was widely believed (by both her ministers, the entire Imperial Family, the entire Empire`s population, and the enemies of the Empire) that she personally assassinated and killed many of the enemies to her country and its people personally, spilling their blood in retaliation for every single innocent Imperial citizen killed by the advancing troops.
	+ How true this is, is actually well left up to debate, though there has been some concrete evidence that has reinforced the evidence.
