Russia! My astonished child's eyes see huge palaces, beautiful parks, fountains, gardens, amazing gatherings of relatives, military parades, religious services in churches glittering with gold, jewels so breathtaking you can hardly believe they are real [... ] My eyes also see long corridors, vestibules, and halls, of a size beyond compare, opening one into another, and our feet trotting timidly over wide stretches of floors, so unbounded and polished, that we seemed to walk on ice. And everywhere, a very characteristic smell: a mixture of turpentine, Russian leather and cigarette smoke, with a fragrance, unique in its own way, that distinguished the imperial palaces. Imperial is the right word, fantastic, like in fairy tales [...] every superlative is at its place in that Russia of the Tsars, that Russia full of splendour, which today is no more...

－ Queen Marie of Romania, “Story of My Life”

Letter from Maria to her friend Olga Voronova

"...There are lots of extra children there now [at the orphanage], such awfully sweet darlings. We gave them all presents and they were so happy with them and each one showed their nanny what they got. They are so appetizing. There are some really little ones there, some are only two weeks old. I love little children so awfully much, play with them and carry them in my arms. Do you love babies?"

In her photograph album, Maria pasted in many photos she took of the little children at the 'Nanny school' (orphanage) that she and her sisters often visited. Sadly, during WWI, the orphanages became even more full. The Romanov children visited several days a week, and cuddled and spoke to the children, and spoon fed them porridge.

And so the Animation Gods decreed, "Gals who appear in groups of three or greater shall be color-coordinated, excluding she who is the Main Character."
