Katyusha Romanova

**Grand Duchess** **Katyusha Romanova of Russia** (**Katyusha Nikolaevna Romanova**)(カチューシャ・ロマノバ *Kachūsha Romanoba*, Russian: Екатерина Никола́евна Рома́нова, tr. *Katûša Nikoláyevna Románova*; June 18 [O.S June 5] 1901 – July 17, 1918) was the fraternal twin sister of Anatasia Romanova making her the other youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, the last sovereign of Imperial Russia, and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. For years Historians believed that she perished at the hands of the Bolsheviks, with the Bolsheviks believing that they had killed her along with the rest of her family; in truth she had escaped with the help of a guard. This guard became her Royal Guard and Personal Bodyguard when she married into the Sous Novian Imperial Family; she promoted her bodyguard and adopted him as her older brother figure. Her status as a Grand Duchess was restored with her marriage to Emperor Fredrick of the Sous Novian Empire; against the wishes of his Sous Novian Ministers he changed the surname of the Empire`s Imperial Family to Romanova to honor his wife, Katyusha`s Russian heritage. Though seemly the most ordinary child of her parents, in truth, Katyusha was a master lier and used this ability to escape; though her actions of leaving her siblings behind were an act of self-preservation, she desperately wanted to bring her siblings along and nearly succeeded before her parents managed to persuade them to their side. Presenting herself as a kindly Empress consort towards ambassadors from other countries and the common people, she is fair and just; on the battlefield her personality experiences a change becoming cold, detached, and passionless. She lacks both drive and motivation, though her actions are mostly fueled by hatred towards the Bolsheviks and her parents who caused their entire family to be killed; this hatred is so intense that even Russian soldiers were unnevered by her hatred towards them.

## Biography

Katyusha, the younger fraternal twin sister of Anastasia Romanova, was born at exactly 02:22 one day after her older fraternal twin sister; the very opposite of her older fraternal twin sister. Her parents were disappointed by her birth, with the young Katyusha often rebelling against her parents in extremely subtle ways; she adored her British relations, and saw them as more observant people than her own parents. Her skill in archery and incredible mathematical skills developed her mind, and she developed OCD; she was so particular about doing mathematics right that she even developed the ability to accurately make calculations for Imperial Russia`s weapon systems. The fifth grand duchess was named for Tsarina Katyusha Romanova (the second Empress consort of Ivan the Terrible). The name Katyusha alludes to Catherine the Great, who her name also honors, in honor of her birth the Tsar pardoned all students who had been participating in riots, sending them home with only a warning. Katyusha's title is most precisely translated as "Grand Princess". "Grand Duchess" became the most widely used translation of the title into English from Russian. She was raised as simply as possible, sleeping on a hard camp cot without a pillow to cushion her head, taking a cold bath in the morning, and being expected to tidy her room and do needlework for charity events. Like her older fraternal twin sister, Anastasia, most people in the household, including the servants, generally called the Grand Duchess by her first name and patronym, "Katyusha Nikolaevna", and did not use her title or style. Her personal bodyguard addressed her by her title of **Grand Duchess Katyusha**, refusing to even as much as drop her title; this was done to annoy the Grand Duchess who often punched him. In her early childhood, Katyusha was a quiet, soft-spoken, and manipulative child; although she spoke little, she was always scheming and enjoyed putting terror into the heart of Anastasia. Gifted and extremely bright, she didn`t possess the hemophilic gene at all; making her the only one of the Grand Duchesses to not possess the gene itself. She possessed incredible knowledge about medicine, even being capable of making poisons with little-to-no trouble; she could play the violin extremely capably by the time that she was ten-years-old, the trumpet by the time that she was eleven-years-old, the flute by the time that she was twelfth-years-old, and the piano by the time that she was seven-years-old. Her paternal aunt, Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia, described her "death" as a tragedy, and wrote this about her supposed "death; "such is the tragedy of my dear paternal niece by the vile hands of the Bolsheviks, God bless my beloved niece and send her to a place of restfulness and purity." The supposed body of Grand Duchess Katyusha Nikolaevna of Russia was recovered on the orders of Nicole Jones, and the Sous Novian Catholic Church which Grigori Rasputin had belonged to; Rasputin was actually the son of a Sous Novian noblewoman, and a Russian Grand Duke making him nobility and royalty. Taking offence at his murder, the Sous Novian Catholic Church demanded the heads of the people who had murdered Rasputin, when the Bolsheviks refused, they demanded the unacidified remains of the Tsar, his wife, their five daughters, and one son to be demanded immediately. The Bolsheviks refused once more, and in an act of mass murder that shocked the entire world; the Sous Novian Catholic Church discarded their vows and murdered every single member of the Bolsheviks they could get their hands on. They also retrieved the unacidified remains of the Tsar, his wife, their five daughters, and one son, taking them back to be buried in the Empire of Sous Novia; Katyusha in truth had not died and had instead survived. When they discovered one of the Grand Duchesses was alive, she was brought to the Empire`s Imperial Family and was indicted into the Imperial Family as a distant relative; as she grew older, she began to develop feelings for Fredrick Verdi, with the two eventually marrying. In October 22, 1928, she gave birth to her first-born child, Alix Romanova, who became the eldest of their children; in the same year, Fredrick ascended to the throne as Emperor of the Empire of Sous Novia, with Katyusha becoming the Empress consort of the Empire of Sous Novia.
