Tatiana Miasnivena

Personal Information

Appearance

Short to average height, tangled mess of red hair, weathered pale skin, strange yellow hawk-like eyes. Apparent age 25-30, difficult to discern as her skin does not heal the general wear and tear of the ages during daysleep. Hands are calloused, old scars leave her skin slightly distorted. Plants and vines woven/tangled in her hair. Normal casual dress is loose overalls, the top half tied about her waist rather than covering her arms etc. Decorative shawl covers her shoulders. Simple blouse underneath. Sunhat with a flower upon her head, or simply left off with the plants in her hair have gotten too wild to keep a hat on top of that week. Vines and leaves in her hair. Secateurs in pocket, along with various gardening items. A Shashka (Russian light sword) sits at her hip.

Mortal World

Tatiana has very few direct ties in the mortal world - her bright yellow eyes and broken, pointed teeth making that next to impossible. The vast majority of her interactions are via her retainer - Lincoln Isayev, a sweet old gentleman that runs a florist-shop, through which Tatiana sells her plants.

Information Known by Kindred Society

• Elder Gangrel, of the Vedma bloodline. She's fairly creepy according to most of the Neonates, but she never seems particularly malicious - unless you damage her plants.
