Yana Semenov (Gems)

## Disambiguation

Yana Semenov (pronounced Yah-na, spelled Я́на in cyrillic) as known by her entertainment name, or Yana Popov, is a Russian adult entertainer in *Gems* that rises in fame as a camgirl and becomes Kaycey's love interest.

## Story

Rising to fame leads to her getting the attention of Kaycey who employs her while letting her do her own work. In time, when Kaycey and Sara have a fued, Yana comes into the limelight and is by Kaycey more than Sara. Eventually, in the "Gems Bust" (see this page), Sara shoots Yana while she and Kaycey are having sex, either cementing her as his partner, or killing him as well and taking it over, depending on how *Gems* goes as a story.

## Background

Yana Popov comes from a family of wealthy businesspeople who hunted whales in the Mediterranean sea. Their money now consist mostly of old money, but Dimitri Popov (Yana's father) and his brother have a small docking business with the same name as their whaling business, on the Black Sea.

Dimitri is often gone to do business and so has business trips often. At home, Yana has nine of siblings, some natural, some step and is unhappy about this. She wishes she got more attention from her father, but doesn't care much for her step mother. Her actual mother is a strip club dancer.

The Popov's do business in America and this is how they will get tied up with the Sandersons.

## Plot

Yana grew up privileged. Her mother comes from old money related to her grandfather and great grandfather whaling. She lives in a small mansion with her father, mother, and several step siblings, and she's in the middle. "To young to make a name for herself, and too old to be a cute little piece of shit," in her words, Yana often leaves the house to mingle with her friends.

Being squished between step siblings isn't easy. With five above and four below, Yana is friends with the brother under her and the baby, who is two.

Her oldest brother, by step, is the oldest and the expectations of the family rest on him as well as on Yana's oldest sister by blood, Eliza, who is just the most perfect daughter.

Yana gets very little attention from her parents, who are usually busy, although her mom is a non working parent who hangs around her friends and does fun things all day.

## Story Excerpt

Yana trodded down the carpeted stairs in her Christmas fluffy socks; they were the ones she wore every day, every day she didn't have to work. She worked, a part time job, just so she felt normal. She didn't need the money--hey family was rich. Her way too big family: three of the little shits were running across the end of the stairs now. God, the stairwell took forever, in the morning, but thankfully half the fifty feet of twisting descent was broken from warm air and the scent of bacon. Mom. "Thank God," she always thought when the bacon came--it meant breakfast was cooked today. That good for shit cook slash maid or whatever couldn't make breakfast right...

fùtball flew up past her tangled brown hair. Fucking tangled, she wanted to cut the stupid crap off--her *father,* Jesus "Fuck dad," she said aloud. Fuck it. She went to the breakfast table. Eliza, Dima, and Pietov were eating now, Pietov being two years older than Yana, and ten inches taller somehow, almost ran into her shoulder before he saw her.
