A senior branch manager of Snezhnaya’s Northland bank. As a fatuus, he is formally well-known as the Venator Dux, who mans the Snezhnayan Order of Gold and Exchange founded by the Ninth Harbinger. He hunts in pursuit of the Tsar's vision, but his loyalties are far removed from her.

Ah, the renowned traveller, in the flesh. A visitor to each of the seven nations, while your reputation has run across the continent twice over. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. If you've heard of the Snezhnayan Order of Gold and Exchange, that'd be me who's in charge of it. I am one of the agents within Lord Regrator's primary circle of officials, so you may address me as Venator dux.
𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵: 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴
I've been in my respective position for over a decade now, and for the last 3 - 4 years have come across choice tales surrounding your name. A big fan of your work, really! Lord Regrator has had his interest piqued for a while now... so for the sake of civilized peace and alliance, let's get along... shall we? Try not to cause any trouble and I might consider putting in a good word for you.
𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵: 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘴
A large bulk of my work is centered around days of scrawling pen over paper... but really, one can only digest hefty documents for so long. I've had my fill for many years on end-... now, I'd prefer to partake in more physical tasks.
𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘵: 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨
I fear the new batch of rookies are growing too lax in their combat training… perhaps it was my uninspiring teaching method today. As a Venator, it simply won’t do to disappoint them. Traveller, would you help a man out and spar with me? It could provide me with a fresh perspective on things.
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐𝘵 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴
No shelter to be seen... here's to praying that you don't catch a cold. Oh don't worry about me, I seldom get sick.
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘴
I've always wondered how the real clap of thunder would feel in comparison to a shock of electro. Unless you want to volunteer for that, watch your step.
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐𝘵 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴
Eh... I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. That being said, the nights that are covered in an impossibly slow curtain of snowfall are some of the rarer times I stop to admire it.
𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯 𝘐𝘴 𝘖𝘶𝘵
Finally. Some real warmth to my face. I am but a simple man, languishing like a wilted flower in the absence of our sun's blazing gaze.

Actually... I think I might just prefer the miserable winter cold over this.

What's with the aggressive breeze today? Does the Anemo archon have bills to pay?
𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨
Good morning. I was about to stop by the city lake on my way to the bank and feed the local geese. You could join me if you'd like. Keep your distance from Tatiana though. She bites.
𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘰𝘰𝘯
On a slow lazy day, I'd be waking up around noon. Fortunately, the weekend is right around the corner, so I can do just that.
𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨
Although the Northland "bank" closes to the public by evening, the building itself stays open till midnight for other classified affairs. So I may as well make the most of my break time before I'm needed again.
𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵
Oh, I must've lost track of time. It's quite late into the night, so before I go, let me walk you back to whatever establishment you're staying at... Oh, uh- I'm... not sure I heard you correctly. You said you live... inside... a teapot...?

It was the very first decree of order at the hands of Lord Regrator when he came into power as a Harbinger many years ago; to inaugurate a faction dedicated to rearing the potential he painstakingly carved into the foundations of the Northland bank. It is just as the name implies. An executive body responsible for developing economic policies and providing regulation, consulting, and forecasting of socioeconomic and business development, ranging from simple roadside shops to production factories-Oh, have I lost you? Haha... don't apologize, I've seen that expression a couple times before. In simple terms: we help run the nation's cycle of mora, trade system, and citizen’s businesses.

The title bestowed upon me, Venator Dux, signifies not just leadership but mastery over a successful hunt- or in some cases, a successful business strategy. The master hunter requires a discerning eye, a mind that can decipher the intricate patterns woven by our adversaries. Information is our ammunition, and knowledge is the silent arrow that strikes before the prey even realizes the hunt has begun.

Various forms of dance and song are the lifeblood of Snezhnaya’s festivals. During fall, you’ll find multiple dance troupes and clowns passing each village, town, and city to perform. I personally look forward to the dancers.

Your little companion has stuck with you since day one? Truly? That is… a highly admirable trait, one that I will always stand by. Loyalty is not a mere pledge, it anticipates the unspoken desires of another; a commitment that transcends the superficial bonds of allegiance. I keep this ideal close to my heart... for only a single person.
𝘈𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯
I was hesitant to use a delusion in the first place, so frankly, I’m glad to have been gifted this for whatever reason I was found worthy of. However… Lord Regrator harbours an uncanny dislike for my vision. It’s not something that has been brought up, but I can read between the lines.
𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦
You didn’t hear it from me, but I encourage the employees at the bank to keep a list of all the infuriating and rude customers. It’s to spice up all the sparring and combat practice sessions by naming and dressing up the dummies as people they’d like to kick- Ha!
𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴
This wintry climate is harsh and unsustainable for various flora and fauna. The Charmomila flower doesn’t care about any of that. They’ll grow in obnoxious places if they want to. The real deal comes from the summer butterflies that feast on its nectar. After a while their wings turn a beautiful honey-yellow, which are harvested and brewed into the sweetest and most expensive nonalcoholic beverage you’ll find around here. I enjoy a glass of one semi-regularly on work mornings.

He will have my sincere respect, always. Lord Regrator has built his empire up from a scratch in the dirt, something impossible to do if he were a different man. His sacrifice of blood, sweat, and tears has bled into the policies that the bank stands on today. Money breeds imbalance and power, which in turn grants freedom and recognition if you are on the right side of the coin. Regrator is a utilizing man and he guards what’s his, zealously. He will take and take until his arms sag with the weight, and uphold his promise to give out the correct equivalents because he lets his value of fair exchange lead him like a vice. For as long as he stays true to his greed, I will be the hand that reaches forward to grasp what he desires.

Lord Regrator always expects a strict level of decorousness from everyone working under his name- from me to even the most forgotten grunts. It's nothing outrageous of course. You would only ever see the metaphorical boot-licking than a literal one. I find it a bit much sometimes but the public eye is nothing to scoff at. Especially to a man of his status. The Snezhnayan dvoryane make up more than a third of the Northland Bank's clientele- not to mention the stakes a couple of them have invested. And if there is anything that those feather-headed fools care about, it's posh theatrics. *Sigh* Still... I quite enjoy falling in step with Pantalone's politesse. He has a beautiful manner of speech that I've never been able to measure up to.

…Why do I feel like you’re trying to fish for critical information...? Fine- I'll concede. It's your head on the line anyways. Lord Regrator is a big player in the system of underground businesses that connect Nathan and Snezhnaya. Technically it could be called a black market, but it’s mainly run by a small council of social elites from both nations. There are occasional hosted auctions, that my lord targets to buy out priceless artifacts from. I’m talking about lost pieces of history and endangered caged beasts over items with resell value. Now… with that being said, as long as this secret remains safe… so do you. It’ll be me who’s dispatched to make sure it stays that way.
Once again, to celebrate this awesome day, I thought I'd give another shout-out to some more of those wonderful ladies that I alove and admire, both those who hve inspired me for a while now, and those that I just recently discovered ...
IMAN VELLANI. Oh my sweet girl! :3 Exploding onto the scene thanks to the recent acclaimed hit/fan favourite that was the Disney/Marvel Ms. Marvel streaming show, the most adorable geek girl in ALL THE WORLD really got a major, much deserved profile boost (regardless of the problems) thanks to her co-starring return to the role of super-popular young Marvel superhero Kamala Khan in The Marvels. She's a genuine absolute SWEETHEART and she deserves all the success that's surely coming to her.
GIDEON NAV & HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS. Yup, I have FINALLY gotten round to reading Tamsyn Muir's ridiculously popular sci-fi fntasy novel series The Locked Tomb! It's still early days, I'm only on Gideon the Ninth, but I am ALREADY falling head over heels in love with the story's central duo, the reluctant warrior Gideon, a snarky oversized golden retriever of a woman, and her "hated" charge, Harrow, the scheming, overly-ambitious scion to an ancient clan of intergalactic necromancers, who's a metaphorical vicious little soaked ferret. I love them, they're so adorably dysfunctional ...
AWKWAFINA. For me, one of the funniest people around, this musician, comedian and actress deserves every ounce of success she's earned for herself. I mostly know her for her acting, having been a fan ever since she was in Ocean's 8, since showing up in a raft of great roles in the likes of Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings, Raya & the Last Dragon, Crazy Rich Asians and Swan Song, although she's REALLY hitting her stride now, showing up in REALLY BIG stuff like Renfield, Quiz L\ady and, now, the incoming (and long-awaited) Kung Fu Panda 4.
TATIANA SUAREZ. Perhaps the most incredible sportswoman I have come across in a good long while, this one is a TRUE INSPIRATION REVELATION. A strong up-and-coming contender for UFC World Champion, she's been through SO MUCH in her life to get where she is now, having had her teenage dreams of being an Olympic Gold Medal wrestler dashed after an accident during training led to the discovery of a burgeoning case of thyroid cancer. Fighting off the condition, she then fought her way back after embracing judo and then mixed martial arts, before AGAIN suffering a debilitating neck injury which NEARLY ended her sporting career again, forcing her to take another long-term hiatus to get back into fighting shape ... just as COVID hit. Now she's back again, fighting fit and better than ever, hungry for that next chance and looking like she's definitely gonna get it this time ...
SINEAD O'CONNOR. The last 13 months have been really tough, we've had to say goodbye to some truly wonderful people, but one in particular REALLY HURT. The music industry lost a true GEM with the passing of this genuine GODDESS, the Irish singer-songwriter best known for her INSANELY popular cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U, although those in the know recognise that she was ONE HELL of a force nature in her own right, courting controversy throughout her career for her outspoken religious and political views. She NEVER backed down on what she believed, and earned my undying respect and admiration for it.
FLORENCE PUGH. A completely amazing young actress who's had a trily ASTOUNDING rise to fame in recent years, I've be a fan of Flo's ever since she broke out in a MASSIVE WAY in the twisted psychological drama Lady Macbeth. She's blown us all away since, lighting up the screen in the likes of midsommar, Don't Worry Darling, Oppenheimer and, now, Dune, Part Two, but now, for me she will ALWAYS be Yelena Belova, the true successor to the MCU's Black Widow mantle.
MIZU. One of my favourite female characters of the past year (although I'm sure she would balk at actually bringing up her gender), the titular lead protagonist of Netflix' wild runaway success new animated series Blue Eye Samurai is a genuinely fascinating and intoxivating character, who prompts profound debate about gender roles and personal identity while kicking arse in SPECTACULAR FASHION indeed in feudal Japan.
TEYONAH PARRIS. Definitely one of THE MOST AMAZING African American actresses coming up right now, this young lady is definitely earning her breakout star status. Having come up through sterling turns in the likes of Dear White People, Chi-Raq, If Beale Street Could Talk and Candyman, before finally making good on all that promise with high profile lead turns in THey Cloned Tyrone and her ongoing role as MCU superhero MOnica Rambeau/Photon in Wandavision and The Marvels.
BILLIE EILISH. What do I REALLY need to say about one of the most popular and astoundingly unique musical artists of the moment? Ever since her breakthrough at just THIRTEEN YEARS OLD with her wildly successful first single, Ocean Eyes, which became a massive runaway smash on Youtube, this incredibly talented young singer songwriter has consistently impressed with ever release, entirely deserving her immense success with an amazing debut EP and two subsequently BRILLIANT albums. She keeps going from strength to strength, and at just 22 years old is only just BEGINNING what's sure to be a MONSTER of a career ...
KITTY O'NEIL. A true legend in cinema, even though most of us have NEVER actually seen her face, this little lady was one of the GREATEST stuntwomen and racers of all time, and a MASSIVE inspiration throughout her life as well. Despite going deaf due to illness during childhood, Kitty still went on to become a record-breaking racing driver and professional stunt performer, probably best known for having doubled Linda Cart in Wonder Woman and Lyndsey Wagner in The Bionic Woman. It's a genuine mystery why Hollywood hasn't made a biopic about her yet ...
HOLGA KILGORE. Probably my ABSOLUTE favourite fictional female protagonist of 2023, the badass barbarian lady from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a pure, unapologetic JOY, thanks in no small part to a wonderfully game turn from Michelle Rodriguez. Holga's just an absolute sweetheart, fully capable of decimating a whole room full of big, dangerous men with her bare hands without ever losing her gentle kindness, simple, honest innocence and unswerving loyalty. TRULY the MVP warrior tank any adventuring party wants in their corner ...
SIOUXSIE SIOUX. Truly one of alternative rock's true, all time GOATs, the lead singer of one of goth's greatest and most important bands, Siouxsie & the Banshees, is a singular master of haunting, ethereal vocals and a genuine style ICON who lent her look and manner to a whole GENERATION of scary young women ...
SABINE WREN & SHIN HATI. While my favourite Star Wars offering of 2023, the opening season of the Ahsoka series, was, all round, just SO GREAT for me, there was one particular element that just stuck with me above ANYTHING ELSE - the season-long rivalry between Ahsoka's troubled Mndalorian apprentice Sabine and Dark Jedi student Shin. They raged, continuously tried to kill each other and endlessly traded smouldering looks of hate that bordered on OBSESSION ... all while genuinely SIMMERING with barely restrained sexual tension. They made the whole fandom FERAL, myself includced. #wolfwren indeed ...
BRODY DALLE. And last, but BY NO MEANS LEAST, a little more personal self-indulgience ith one of my greatest rock-fan super crushes, namely the awesome Aussie lead singer/guitarist of supercool punk bands the Distillers and Spinnerette. Still rocking her iconic status to this day, she remains a genuine inspiration ...
Do you know if Maria Khoreva switched her coach at the Mariinsky? I know it always used to be Elvira Tarasova but in her recent Instagram post about Swan Lake she mentions Tatiana Gennadievna (Terekhova). Do you think they just prepared SL together or might it be permanent?
I did see this and was surprised by this! Would love to know if anyone has more information!

Perhaps the myth of a surviving Nikolaevna is a lie we tell ourselves because it’s easier than accepting the slaughter of their innocent children for the sins of the parents. The hope that a 17-year-old girl gets the chance to grow old and have a happy ending…
A rewrite of the Anastasia musical for a movie adaptation. I feel like this story could work very well on film. I was inspired by different aspects of the Anastasia plays, films, ballets, the operetta, and stage musicals. This is an adaption of the Hartford production with parts from the Broadway show and tours in it. This version leans more into historical fiction.
I know normal movie scripts don’t have this much description, this is just have I’m visualizing it. I hope that you enjoy it.

As I am wont to do, I like to imagine how Disney/Pixar would approach the story of Swan Lake — especially with their recent succusses with Coco, Moana, Soul and Encanto! So, I went ahead and made some basic character models and designs!
Odette’s character design is inspired heavily by the Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia — tall, slender, and elegant with dark auburn hair, gray eyes, and fine features.
For most of the swan maiden designs, I used the period surrounding the Swan Lake ballet’s debut performance in 1877 as inspiration; however, Odette is the exception to this rule. Instead, her main design is reminiscent of the Neoclassical dresses worn in the early 19th century, including an empire waist, flowing white fabrics, and rather simple in design. This neoclassical design is a representation of her obsession with the past and inability to live in the present or move on to a brighter future. That being said, the only object of her past that she keeps is the teardrop pearl necklace that her mother gave to her before she was captured, which she fiddles with whenever she remembers what she has lost.
For her ballgown, the overall design is much more fantastical and modern. While the shape of the bodice and the split overskirt are inspired by classic Imperial Russian court dress in the time of Emperor Nicholas I, this design lacks the traditional heavy embroidery and long open sleeves of the Muscovite style that is associated with real-world Russian gowns. The sleeves and the skirt of her overskirt are sewn with white and gold pearls and resemble swan feathers in shape. I was also really taken with the exaggerated shape and boning of the corsets I used as inspiration, which I combined into the final design shown here. Overall, this ballgown is a combination of both Odette and Odile’s styles, since Odile is the one to design and give it to Odette when she encourages her to attend the royal ball.
tatiana, what were your favorite dance styles to do when you did dance? also, what is your favorite ballet?
Ask My OC Anything → Receiving
Oh, gosh, I might have to think about that for a moment, perhaps, or a month, heh, forgive me, bad joke, but I haven't thought of anything dance related in a long, long while . . .
I guess part of me wants to say classical ballet. That's the dance form I was raised in, for lack of a better term. I was trained from the age of five, and I was en pointe by the time I was fourteen. By early adulthood, it was my whole life. I wasn't a great student and I didn't have many friends growing up, but I excelled at the ballet and I idolized Tchaikovsky more than any movie star or celebrity crush. I was a shoo-in, as my coach would say.
But, at the same time, there was another side to me. The side of me that would choreograph front aerials to Whitney Houston songs, and would record Janet Jackson's music videos on the VCR and rewind them until the film spilled out. Do you know that one Paula Abdul music video, the one with the cat? Opposites Attract? Yes! I wanted to be just like Paula! A slick contemporary Jazz or tap dancer. Sometimes I wished I was born into a family that was more accepting of that whole Hollywood scene. No one in my family understood it, not even my brother.
That bit of spontaneousness is something I've always kept tucked away inside of me, and it's for that reason my favourite ballet isn't Swan Lake or the Nutcracker, but A Streetcar Named Desire. It was the first and only ballet I performed as a soloist. Obviously, there was controversy at the time and while I'd never be able to say this publically, Blanche DuBois is a woman I relate to more than I thought possible of a fictional character. She lost her career, her husband, and, in the end, her mind . . . The more I think of it, the more potent it gets.
Sorry for dragging the mood down. Honesty never comes easy for me and now you see why.
Rules: Search and post the meaning of your OCs’ names (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! Bonus if you can find something for their last name too
Guess we'll do WCTD characters for this since that's the wip with the most characters lol. Though as you can see...I don't really think too much on name meanings XD
Fenice: "phoenix" (Italian)
WCTD started out as fanfic that I was really paranoid people would read over my shoulder as I was writing it so I gave all of the characters code names that started with the first letter of their actual name. So I just searched for female names starting with the letter "F", found Fenice, thought the symbolism was pretty fitting, so I used it. When I gave up on the fic and started turning it into an actual original story, I ended up keeping the name.
Charles: "free man" (English, French)
Same deal as above. As you can probably tell, I don't put much thought in name meanings.
Sola: "Alone" (Spanish?)
The internet couldn't give me a definitive answer, lol. I just pulled this name from my head and didn't really ascribe a meaning to it. The character's full name is Sola Eidos, and, fun fact, it isn't even his real name. He just made up the name when he came to Aetier because that's what he thought Raian names sounded like.
Dantalion: Name of one of the great dukes of Hell (Ars Goetia)
The Ars Goetia was my go-to for fantasy names if I was ever stuck.
Titania: "giant" (greek)
It was originally a toss-up between Titania and Tatiana, but Titania sounded more regal. I recently learned that Titania was also an appellation Ovid gave to Diana, which ended up fitting the character considering both are hunters.
Illysandre: (made it up)
I butchered the name Alexandra and ended up with this. I guess you could say that the name could also mean "Protector."
Meidira: (Made it up)
I was stuck on names and ended up butchering the name of one of the wip's goddesses, Meidther, to make Meidira.
Andras: A great marquis of hell (Ars Goetia)
Ars Goetia to the rescue once more)
Leda: "woman" (Greek)
I needed a name really quickly and the last thing I saw before writing was the painting Leda and the Swan.
Aretos: "excellence"? (Greek)
I have a list of Byzantine names that I pull from
Cyril: "Master, Lord" (Greek)
I have a list of Byzantine names that I pull from
vi Aetier: "of Aetier" (made it up)
As some of you may know, I like Code Geass. And why spend extra brainpower trying to come up with a family name for royalty when I could just use the name of the country. It's great propaganda too.
