Tatiana Baladin (Tati) is a physically rather young vampire that was Embraced during the Qrussian Qevolution. She is currently living with a pack of Werewolves in the town of Clearbrook. She is a player character in the Chains of Rage campaign.

Physical Appearance

Tati is pretty tiny for humans and human adjacent supernatural creatures. She's a little under 5 feet tall and is rather skinny and lithe. Being a vampire grants her a certain unworldly beauty, but it's easy to tell she was very pretty before being Embraced. Tati is very pale, even for a vampire, She has very large eyes, that are now an unnaturally bright red. Her hair is also red, cut into a shoulder length bob that has a very slight wave to it. Tati, being from the early 1900's, has a rather eccentric fashion taste. After experimenting with a few things, she started gravitating towards preppy and lolita fashion. It is very rare to see her not in flouncy, frilly, and lacy dresses.

Personality

Tatiana is well-known for her bubbly, optimistic personality. Despite being out of place and out of time, she has taken it mostly in stride. She sometimes has trouble with modern notions such as slang and technology. It is very rare for her not to be smiling. She is very naive and trusting of others, which can get her into alot of trouble. It is very, very hard for her to lie. However, this brightness overall makes it very easy to like and trust Tati. She is very charismatic and thrives in social situations and political negotiations. Due to her history, she is VERY conscientious of the Masquerade and vampiric laws. Sometimes, however, she does battle with the weight of her past. She can be a bit old fashioned and stubborn regarding social norms, particularly around courtship protocols with her Companion.

History

Tati was embraced in Qrussia in November 1916. Her Sire, Rasputin, was attempting to make an army to overthrow the Czar. He needed more than simple soldiers, and started specifically targeting noble, wealthy, and upper class families with influence. Tatiana was the youngest child of the Baladin family. Her brothers were quite older than than and had very respectful political and military careers. Tati's hand in marriage was prize that was quite sought after. However, even then, Tati was very sure of herself in her wants and beliefs. She did not want to be simply married off for the best match. However, the Baladin name held quite a bit of weight, and they could afford to be a bit picky. Qrussian History then happened, with the political upset with the Czar. Tati was 17 and still unmarried when the revolution truly became bad. Eventually, their home became a target for the mysterious Rasputin and his rising army, for both the mortal and supernatural wars that were being waged. The estate was raided and Tatiana was Embraced shortly after her 17th birthday. Tati, rather thankfully, does not remember most of it. She knows that she was used as a pawn. A weapon. For nearly a month after that point. Her father and one of her brothers eventually found her. Seeing them broke through her Frenzy and helped her remember who she was. They didn't want to kill her, but there is no cure for Vampirism. Fledgling Tati, who was used as nothing more than a soldier, was very hungry and very weak. It was quite easy for them to apprehend her. Through some mystic research, a solution was found. She was staked, and put in a coffin in a state of Torpor. And there she rested.

Soon, the Revolution was over, and things went back to a sense of normalcy. Tati's coffin was watched by the Baladin descendants for quite some time. But history has not been kind to Qrussia. Family history turned into stories and stories turned into myth. Time heals many things, but it wipes away the existence of the poor great great great aunt that died during the Revolution. Most of the Baladin family is gone now, as with the manor and many of the belongings. Eventually, a large portion of historical relics was purchased by a Quenn State history professor, and a palette of relics got shipped to Quennsylvania, including one very large, strangely shaped box. However, one night, an underpaid and bored security guard got a little curious, and opened the box. Tati, who had been asleep for over 100 years, woke up in a Frenzy. She attacked him and everyone else in that building. One got away. This 'Incident' was incredibly bad for Tati, as it broke the Masquerade, and revealed Vampires to mortals. She was apprehended by the local Vampires and ultimately got put on trial by the Prince of State College and the Council. They were surprisingly mostly understanding, and did not sentence her to death, albeit with a couple caveats. The largest of these caveats is that Tati was now on their, and every other local Prince's and Council's List. The Brujah clan 'adopted' her, but it became very quickly evident that she was not meant for the physical scraps they often found themselves in. I got passed around quite a bit, and sent to other towns and cities to do biddings for their other Councils. It was during one of these assignments that she crossed paths with Ash. The pair met at one of his concerts, and since she stood out, she immediately drew his attention. Thinking nothing more than a potentially easy prey, she attempted to Charm him, only to find it incredibly difficult and 'off.' After that, the two talked more often and eventually started dating. However, only after a few months, she was called back to State College, and left Ash without a word. After getting home, she was told to travel to a town called Clearbrook and meet with a Malkavian vampire named Azha. Once there, Tati was introduced to Azha's fledgling, Cathy, and the pair have been inseparable since.

Powers and Abilities

Tati is a self proclaimed 'Bad Brujah.' She lacks many of the physical strengths and skills the often aggressive and fighting focused other's of her Clan have. Instead, being a member of Old Qussian Nobility, and her naturally charismatic nature, Tati is exceptionally gifted in the social magics. She has an extremely easy time with the Prescence, Celerity, and Dominate disciplines. Her girlfriend and promised one, Cathy, has also been helping her to train in auspex as well. Tatianna has a particularly charming voice, a dread full of gaze, and has the ability to get anyone in the room to do what she wants.
