Sadovskaya Danilovna

**Sadovskaya Lesya Danilovna** was a famous Bolian-born Nagoldian painter, entrepreneur, and author. She was born in Toneznev, Bol to cargo ship driver Yunevich Rodionovich and Zahra-refugee Razina Maximovna. Danilnova quickly lost citizenship of Bol due to their parents moving to Nagold for a better life. She never spoke any universal languages in Lasherde until 1861, but by then she had already been suffering from dementia for years prior, so she lost memory of most of her paintings. Danilovna originally spoke the now-extinct language of Ixpano, which both her parents also spoke.

Originally born into a wealthy family, Danilovna lived in one of the largest houses in Nagold, nicknamed the Danilovna Household. She attended the local Mamaraun Elementary School and was well into art and music. For college, she went to Tostad, the capital of Nagold and attended the Tostad Art University, where she graduated with a fine art degree.

After graduating in 1813, she went over to Tjota and purchased several art supplies, which put her thousands of dollars into debt. Due to her debt, she was forced back to her house in Mamarun. She began setting up her art supplies at her house. Her first painting was *Desert Wonderland*, painted in 1815.

After she painted the piece of art, she asked several small museums if they would display her art. No one wanted the piece of art apart from one museum in Mamarun, which was unnamed at the time, but later named the Danilovna Museum in honor of her.

The museum then bought Desert Wonderland from Danilovna for $1,000. When the painting sold for that much, she was happy. She knew that she could create more works of art. In a few years span, she created over 15 paintings, all of which sold for over $100,000 all together.

After she gained the $100,000, she purchased a building and a house in Tjota, Nagold. The building was for her to start her own art company, originally named *Danilovna Avchnt* *(Danilovna Art)*, but then renamed to *Sadov Avchnt (Sadov Art)*. Upon purchasing her first building, she created over 40 paintings in 1825, all of which she sold at her business.

After promoting the business for a week with posters, customers started flocking in. Everyone wanted to purchase her artwork. 10 of her paintings sold in just a few minutes, generating over $1 million, and everything got so out of hand that it started a shooting, which her brother, Novikov Rostislavovich, ended up shooting 25 people, killing 11 of them and severely injuring 5 more.

When the shooting occured, Danilovna decided to close up shop for over a month. During the shooting, several of her artworks were shot and were ruined. Even though they were ruined, she kept them in her house. The reamining paintings were sold to museums across Lasherde, including world-famous museums such as the former Udlovk Art Museum and the Krotep Museum.

All across the 1830s and 1840s, she sold over 200-300 paintings, generating millions of dollars in revenue. In 1851, she announced her retirement from painting, and sold Sadov Avchnt to Tereshchenko Nikolayevich for $15 million. Sadov Avchnt is now owned by the Danilovna Company, a holding company for all of Danilovna's companies and other shenanigans.

In 1856, she published her first book titled *A Masterpiece: How I Became A Millionaire Selling Art*. The book was an instant hit, instantly going to book stores worldwide and selling thousands of copies. The book generated her over $38.8 million in revenue. However, this would be her last known public appearance.

On December 26, 1890, at age 99, she died at her home in her sleep. Her cause of death was not revealed until 1990, where it was revealed that she died due to heart failure. A memorial service was held privately for her family on December 26, 1891. Her body remains at the Skonnoding Cemetery at Skonnoding in Kavkazk.

Upon graduating from college in 1813, she went to Tjota and purchased thousands of dollars worth of art supplies, which at the time she didn't have any money to spend, so it put her thousands of dollars into debt.

After being forced back to Mamarun by her parents, she decided to start painting. Her first painting was the *Desert Wonderland*. After done painting it, she went to every museum in her city to see if they could put it up for display. No one wanted it except for one museum, which was later called the Danilovna Museum. The Danilovna Museum purchased it from her for $1,000, which would now be valued at $10 million according to experts.

She was happy that she was able to make $1,000 already from painting. This $1,000 motivated her to start spending way more time into her paintings and put in more effort into her paintings. Due to this effort, in just a few years span, she created over 15 paintings, which she later all sold to museums, including the Danilovna Museum.

#### Sadov Avchnt

After making over $100,000 for artwork, she used it to move to Tjota and begin her real career. Danilovna purchased a building and a house, the building would later become Sadov Avchnt (previously called Danilovna Avchnt). Once she made Sadov Avchnt, she painted over 40 paintings in 1825, which she all sold at her business for over $1 million.

In 1851, she announced her retirement from painting and sold her business to Tereshchenko Nikolayevich for $15 million.

##### Shooting

*Main article: Sadov Avchnt shooting*
While selling all of her art, a mass shooting occured, caused by her brother Novikov Rostislavovich. Rewind to 1818, where Danilovna sold all of her paintings for $100,000. Her brother was jealous, and he wanted to make a name for himself. Novikov had a crazy plan, where he knew that she would eventually start her own business, and so she planned a murder. He would go into the building, look normal, and once he was in the front, he would shoot his older sister and kill her.

The plan never executed inside the house because he was too young to legally purchase a gun, and he knew that 1825 would be the year because she told him that she was going to start her own business in 1825. Once 1825 hit and she started her business, he illegally got on the same bus that Danilovna was on. He then rented a hotel room for 2 months, because it would give him enough time to purchase a gun, and plan out the attack.

A month and a half later, Sadov Avchnt would open for business. Tens of people would be waiting at the entrance, and one of them would be Novikov. Once she opened the business, everyone flocked inside. Purchasing paintings left and right. She sold over 10 paintings in just a few minutes, which would equal to over a million dollars.

Business was booming, and it was doing great, until someone yelled out that someone has a gun. Everyone tried their hardest to flock out, and in the middle of all of this, Novikov decided it was best to shoot everyone. And so he did. 11 people died, and there were people trying their hardest to get out of the building as fast as possible to save their own lives.

Police were on the scene within a matter of minutes, but while on the chase found a guy with a gun. He was immediately tazed and taken into custody as a suspet. All of the bodies were taken to the hospital, 8 of the 11 died were pronounced dead at the hospital, 2 were reported dead upon arrival and the rest got killed instantly. After investigation, it was revealed that Novikov was the murder.

Novikov was taken into custody at Kavkazk City, Bol and was sentenced to 5 life sentences without the possibility of parole. He was then put onto death row for 12 years, where he died from suicide at the age of 30.

### Writing career

In 1856, she published her first book *A Masterpiece: How I Became A Millionaire Selling Art*. The book was an instant success, generating over $38.8 million in revenue. It became the #1 bestselling book for over a year across Bol, Nagold, Zahra, and Kington. Even though thousands of copies were sold, it's estimated that only about 50 of them are still out there, the others have been lost in time.
