Domestic AU Headcanons:
More headcanons for the Ranskahov bros as well as my ocs for the Veles Mafia:
[First Set Here]
A/N: I would like to preface this by saying that these are largely inspired by my boyfriend and his thoughts/experiences/feelings about moving from Russia to the United States and things that he went through growing up in Russia.
--------------- ---------------
- Anatoly can't spell very well and when he's texting in English, many words are misspelled and his grammar isn't correct.
- Vladimir is afraid of spiders.
- Valery doesn't like cats and has had to get rid of kittens as a child in Russia. This is the reason he doesn't like cats and will never have one as a pet. Bad memories for him. But he thinks that having a chameleon would be the coolest pet. Liliya deadpan tells him absolutely not.
- The Veles Russians all call squid calamari. "Squid in Russian is kal'mar! Calamari! It is not my fault that Americans do not call calamari the right name!"
- Liliya has a sweet tooth like no one's business and if it came between a snickers and Russian candies, she'd pick Russian with no hesitation.
- Matvei calls himself a functioning alcoholic and has said on more than one occasion that it's only because of having a job that he doesn't drink all day long.
- All of the Russians chase their vodka with juice. Liliya loves pineapple. Vladimir loves orange. Vera loves cranberry-mango. Anatoly, Matvei, Piotr, Sergei, and Valery don't really care too much about what flavor the juice is.
- If she could, Yulia would drop everything and do meth again. She'd sell her soul for it. "God I miss doing meth..."
- Vladimir's favorite food is sushi. This does not mean in any way, shape, or form that he eats it 'the proper way'. No, what he does is he takes his sushi apart and reassembles multiple different types of sushi to create his own unique type. Yuri is constantly offended for his wife, Yuriko.
- Anatoly sometimes wishes he could quit smoking but really, he knows that won't ever happen. Sometimes when he's stressed out, he smokes every fifteen minutes and has been known to buy multiple packs a day.
- Piotr is a speed demon when driving and is the only member of the Veles mafia to join said mafia accidently. As a kid, Piotr really wanted to move to the States and "always had this feeling deep down that it would happen." Vladimir connects to that feeling very well because he had it too as a kid.
- Look, Vladimir makes literally The Best potatoes known to man. This is no exaggeration. It is magic of some degree.
- Anatoly loves to play poker and many nights the Veles crew have been found chasing vodka with juice and playing poker.
- Vladimir loves sci-fi and wants a smart house. He would be the first to set up a google home in the Veles garage as well as his apartment.
- Anatoly loves the color gray. I've said it before and I'll just say it again.
- Sergei barely remembers things about Russian history and hates himself just a bit for it because he feels as though he should remember his history and culture and just.... doesn't.
- The Veles mafia and Tracksuit Draculas have had so many run ins with each other that it's a wonder Matt and Clint have had to fight their respective Russian mafias.
- Vladimir gets 'hustle' and 'hassle' mixed up all of the time. He also has the hardest time saying 'miso' soup. He usually pronounces it as "meezo" soup.
- To Vera, all noodles are pasta. Doesn't matter if it's ramen, udon, low mein, lasagna, or spaghetti. It is all just pasta to her.
- Valery calls spring rolls, egg rolls, dumplings, and crab rangoons wontons. He claims that they are all the same thing. Yuri is once again lowkey offended for his wife since she is not present to hear this.
- Anatoly was an awful student in school. He was very bored, sat in the back, and tended to goof off more often than not. Vladimir was the complete opposite and excelled in history.
- Yulia speaks and writes in English far more than she does in Russian and has forgotten some words. She is mildly embarrassed and annoyed with herself.
- Anatoly lowkey highkey wants a big ass aquarium in his office at the Veles garage.
- Sergei loves beer and will drink beer over vodka in a heartbeat.
- Vladimir is a human garbage disposal. If it's food, he will eat it.
- Anatoly loves trail mix and buys packs of it from stores, always adding in loads of cashews. Vera, Yulia, and Sergei call him a "squirrely fucker". He always threatens to fire them.
- Valery and Vladimir once took two hours to install a ceiling fan in the Veles garage. This involved very much yelling, cursing, and screaming. Anatoly was found by Vera, sighing out, "I hope they both get electrocuted..." While at that exact moment Vladimir could be heard yelling, "I know which one [the wires] is responsible for what!" And Valery screaming back, "Responsible?! Here's your responsibility, mother fucker! To turn the lights on, not shock me!"
- One of Vladimir's favorite movies is The Fifth Element. He also loves Eurotrip and Interstate 60.
----- -----
A/N: I don't know, may continue this with more headcanons in the future because I do have more I'm just a tad lazy right now and having an awful time with my laptop because I need a new one rip.

Veles Taxi- Chapter 3
chapter 1    chapter 2
Nicolai doesn’t know how long he’s out for. It felt like only a few moments passed from the blinding pain of his head meeting the brick wall to waking up, a blindfold over his eyes and a thick rope binding his wrists to the table. The thumping pain pulsing throughout his skull is the only welcome he receives. After the bout of confusion subsides Nicolai notes the presence of others in the room, their conversation coming to a close after they notice him rousing from his involuntary sleep.
Their discussion starts up again after his silence carries on a few too many beats, not one of them bothers to keep their voices down, all too secure in their belief that Nicolai can’t understand a word of their conversation. But each word is clear in his ears, including the order of taking off the blindfold, given by one of the men, Sergei if Nicolai heard it right.
Another one of the men walks behind him, his hands reaching to remove the fabric. It’s the optimistic boarding on delusional hope that not seeing something means it isn’t true that makes Nicolai duck down his head, his hands pulling against rope securing him to the table. An impatient huff of air releases behind him before his captor tries again, this time managing to slip the material over his head, not without scraping against the broken skin, causing a pain as unexpected as an abrupt sting of electricity.
The room comes into focus within a few seconds of the cloth being lifted. Its appearance comes as no surprise; sparse, a single exit, with the desk in front of him the only furniture occupying it. Nicolai counts three men in the room, a stranger, the man he now knows to be Sergei, and of course the ‘officer’ who removed the blindfold.
Sergei spoke first, ‘’Who are you?’’
Those three little words started off the interrogation. They started off an hour's worth of unanswered questions and growing agitation. Every timid shake of Nicolai’s head was answered with a quiet muttering of Russian curses. 
One of the men, Piotr, left halfway through, murmuring some excuse about making a phone call. Nicolai couldn’t help but feel the knot of anxiety tighten around his lungs as the man walked out the door, leaving him with seemingly the more volatile of the men -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just when it seemed Nicolai’s interrogators had lost their final drop of patience, he walked in. Striding in a few steps ahead of Piotr, the man can only be in his mid-thirties, with a scar running down his face skimming his right eye. An aura of authority encompassing him that was felt by both the young captive and his men.
A few quick sentences are exchanged between the men before the newcomer takes a seat. None of the tools of a criminal's trade can be seen in the room, but maybe the man himself could be considered the necessary weapon with knuckles painted a mix of green and purple and his blue eyes fixing upon Nicolai’s, pinning him to his chair whilst simultaneously asserting an animal like dominance over the situation.
Hi people! Sorry for the long wait for the a fairly short chapter. Please feel free to tell me if you notice any mistakes or If anyone wants me to tag them for the next chapter. I’ll probably see you in a decade or so when chapter 4 is out.

I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH. And the newfound love for Semyon and Sergei is much appreciated 👍 Love those boys. SO ANYWAY Piotr and Semyon cruising along some mostly deserted NYC streets at 2 in the morning, cursing their bosses for giving them this shift, listening to whatever crap comes on the radio and complaining about it but secretly enjoying it and each other's company. Amiright?
omg thank you so much for this message I’ve been feeling down but this totally lifted my mood ♡♡ AND YEAH I imagine at some point one pop song comes on and it’s the really annoying but catchy kind (something like Call Me Maybe) and Semyon just looks at the radio, sighs, and says “it’s this fucking song………” but neither of them make a move to change the radio station 😂

Skateboard Ceddy. Bhuti Wama Element🕯️
Malibongwe Wami😊 I am so fucking PROUD of your crazy ass. You should see yourself now, all chubby and smooth for the ladies, Stoke game on fleek and whatnot but hey we ain't kissing and telling on socials boyo we done did that already😂
You have such a resilient spirit, a caring spirit, sometimes it's overbearing and overwhelming yeah but it's always in the context of WHO you are extending your love to.
Tumblr media
Most of these folks you met along the way were not a mistake, except Tukelo maybe. That girl don't wanna meet nobody and she calls me her brother. Such Hippocracy, the nerve, but ke Geminis right? 😂
Your murder weapon, your short trip from Chesterville to Manor Gardens, to park at Cuba, go to campus, get a little Uhm "Medicine" and come back with bars, laughs and a couple of books. You started a Russian Roulette with Novels.
It's not quite the vision we was aiming for but come on he's reading something so I mean it counts Dawg, you did good there Miyagi😤 the nerve of thinking you could teach men older than you cause yous a test tube teenager who grew up like Mr Anderson before became Neo with all the special effects. Yous a gangster huh😂
You have touched the lives of many, you have changed and brought life (and ego deaths yes babes claim it) with everyone you have met along the way, some meet you now a little grown, a little sexy, a little scarred and still remember all the stories that come with your R400 (which would have been R1200 at Northbeach area skate shops wait a go be economic and shit 😂😂😂) skateboard.
Tumblr media
Ville. Hawu Nkosi, inkazimulo yethu I feel bad for that man you terrorised the shit out of him, always feeding him conspiracy theories and reasons why he HAD TO read (you are such a forceful bastard aren't ya? Bitch😂) man's ended up spending every morning in a toilet shitting out his past and filling his today's with the Oxford dictionary.
Kwayena lomsunu owunkazi if he just moves to London and has a best seller of indaba zethu and then move us all to Bora Bora where we can watch Netflix and the world go crazy out our college life and barely notice us on the streets of Amsterdam. I think that would be the perfect place to make a album with Ville on some Italian Job kind of vibe we should be so Strick that EVERY VIDEOS OF THAT ALBUM HAS A MINI COOPER (angithi uyezwa Ville Wabantu? Why did 6 call you that vele? Oh right Zodwa,makes sense😂)
Tumblr media
Shimmy shimmy ya Shata thalaaala ain't he the anchor that knows to much,never says enough but packages a whole novel into this one little paragraphs or say 30 minute conversation? I should hire him a writer, someone to get him drunk enough to talk freely but also be accurate with his narrative so his Ted Talks can be novels. I mean hello Shata Rick Ross has a novel! You think that nigga wrote it himself? Cap😂
Tumblr media
And can somebody tell me what are going to do with Ntuthukos beat? I mean it's actually perfect for a lot of South African movies it's not a Spotify vibe its a I wasnt to watch this episode to hear that beat again vibe you know Netflix emails with royalties and shit. Crip walking with Cryptocurrency 😂 (okay 6 I promise I won't make that a song it sounds nice but it's not song title worthy I get away with too much yes we know . Stop👀)
I found my tribe, or something close to it, well I know I would not mind traveling the country to find all my boys, have some Heineken and at least pretend I know what's going on in the PSL maybe even play a game or two of soccer on the PlayStation. The 10-0 loss at the age of 7 is such a played out memory now we deserve something spicy to remember now.
Then there's 6. The most explainable anomaly of the state, FBIs target market, he knows shit he's not supposed to know and he never remembers how he knows it but he knows it that's all that matters, we started this pact of being Shinobis together and that motherfucker ACTUALLY pulled it off WITHOUT YOU. He followed the G code of Shinobis to the T. Hmm that bitch better do a mixtape with me😂
Tumblr media
Well I guess the nerd,read a book ,master need speed Godfather is me hey? The human Google yimi akiri? Argh man why not? It's always been me and they make it feel cool to be that guy actually the tech guy the brains of the operation well, The theory at least (thanks UKZN good look out🤷🏾‍♀️)
And maybe just knowing you'd work hard enough to see your Cubans, to hug them, to raise a class with them to start a company or 4 (erhm "Khoza Trucking" yes Ville YOU KNOW what I mean🤭) maybe these ones are the ones to keep for life. maybe these are the Godfathers that need to protect your kids as you protect theirs.
Tumblr media
Let's skip the formalities, let's stop testing folks now, and stay true to the mafia you have built for yourself, you grew up too fast and too Jaden let's try this new one let's grow young now. Let's have fun, let's pick up that skateboard and actually learn the kick flip this time😊 (and yes. Let's all gang up on Ville. I hate Taurus guys anyway😂😂😂😂)

Veles Taxi - Chapter 1
Hi fellow humans. I’ve just started writing recently and this will be my first fanfiction. It centres around the Russian mafia in daredevil and I’ve tagged a few people who I think may be interested. If anyone is interested and wants to continue being tagged please could you tell me in either a comment or message. Thanks xx 
The sun has yet to rise above the city when Vladimir gets the news. Waking from a fretful sleep, he reaches out a hand almost knocking over a lamp in the process of stopping the relentless blare of his mobile. A gruff greeting is snapped before he falls silent listening to the Russian words on the line. The words take a moment to register in his sleep ridden mind, before he’s moving around his apartment and out the door, the tight hold on his keys causing small indents on the inside of his roughened palm.  
Within minutes a taxi hastens down the unoccupied roads, tattooed knuckles clutch the steering wheel in a vice-like grip. Each turn becomes more erratic until somehow, without mishap, the vehicle takes a sharp left turn into a rundown garage.  At first glance, the everyday scene seems to greet Vladimir. Yellow taxis are lined up ready for tomorrow’s work whilst a few of his men wander, either talking distractedly or doing the odd repair job. The only blot on the otherwise normal scene is a man standing further off, his hands nervously wringing together. Vladimir quickly identifies him as Piotr. He’s the image of pure anxiety with his left foot tapping a fast-paced beat against the stone floor as he waits for Vladimir to get out of the car.  
“In here", between Piotr’s worn voice and the dark circles around his eyes, Vladimir is reminded to give him a few days off work whether or not he wants them. Piotr leads Vladimir through the nearby door and corridors passing the deserted break rooms in favour of entering one of the unused offices.    
His men tense in anticipation as he enters the room. Vladimir’s eyes are instantly drawn to their new prisoner. He’s young, only around seventeen, his scrawny body quakes beneath a bloodstained hoodie. The source of the blood is evident from behind as the crimson substance sluggishly trickles down his head, matting dark hair in the process. Opposite him, Sergei, Vladimir’s second in command stands tall, fists curled up in obvious agitation. Semyon stands nearby, leaning on the wall half-hidden in the shadows seemingly uninterested in the endless questioning. Vladimir knows Semyon better though, he knows Semyon thrives off intel, he’s not an official thief in law like most of Vladimir’s subordinates he’s a hired hitman paid in information. The strongest currency of the underworld.    
Seemingly sensing their presence, the boy’s head rises up and wide brown eyes glance at Vladimir for a few moments before recognition filters across them and he drops his gaze down towards the aged desk where his wrists are bound tightly together. Smirking at the boy’s obvious terror Vladimir strolls across the room letting his blazer fall across the back of a chair. Before rolling up his shirt’s sleeves letting the captive view the stark markings inked upon pale skin. Markings that were earned through blood. Markings of a killer.
 “Said anything yet?” Vladimir spoke easily in their native language trying to keep their prisoner out of the loop.  
“Not yet.” Unsurprisingly Sergei was less than impressed with the guest’s reticence; three hours till his next shift there was little point in returning home for some much-needed rest. Vladimir glanced at the boy again. His head was tilted down in a pathetic attempt to avoid the notice of the four monsters in the room. Vladimir’s lip didn’t curl up as it often did when a victim would be easy to break and there was no mockery in his next words.  
“He will.”
Posting this was the scariest thing I’ve ever done and I’m willing to admit it gave me a slight adrenaline rush ;) I’m not a big fan of the start but I think it gets better further along. It’s called Veles taxi because I’m not creative enough to come up with something better. I’ll probably change it at some point.
Hope nobody minds that I’ve tagged them. I’ve had someone edit this but please fee free to tell me if we’ve missed any mistakes or if parts of it don’t make sense. Next chapter here

The Veles Mafia calling each other ‘bro’ after any meetings they have with the Tracksuit Draculas and snickering for days as they do it.

Note
saw that you have new ocs??? for the veles mafia???? mafia women????
Yeah I do! Because I have zero ounces of self control! So without further ado I introduce ocs for the Veles mafia:
My main favorites so far have been Yulia, Liliya, Valery, and Vera. 
I’m still deciding stuff for everyone else and they are:Dmitry (yes I am aware that there was a Dmitri in the show, two different people because it’s fun for me), Matvei, Mikhail, Stepan, and Yuri.
So Liliya and Valery, I like them together. So it’s official. They’re a package deal.
- They’re married. When they come to America (and I headcanon everyone else was coming right before, during, and after Vladimir and Anatoly escaped Utikin) Liliya is nine months pregnant and ready to pop at any moment. 
- She goes into labor right as they’re leaving the airport and Valery very nearly faints because he’s weaksauce unprepared for this.
- Valery and Vladimir have a hate hate relationship. They’re constantly bickering. Like children. And Anatoly is constantly tired with Vladimir. They’ve almost gotten into a fist fight more times than anyone can count. Everyone makes a drinking game for how many times they’ll talk shit about the other one. They had to stop said drinking game because Stepan started throwing up terribly.
- Liliya has a cathedral, meaning she was born a thief, on the middle finger on her left hand.
- Their son’s name is Luka. The first time Vladimir sees him he says, “Congratulations Liliya. It looks nothing like Valery. You got lucky.” And Valery just glares daggers and, “CAN WE SEND HIM BACK TO UTKIN PLEASE?!”
The disrespect!
- Luka is often left with the neighbors then daycare so that Liliya and Valery can come to work. Three years later they have another son, Grisha. Everyone in the garage throws a baby shower for them but most of the gifts were bottles of vodka and or diapers since no one knew what else to bring. Liliya said, “Well…. at least you all brought diapers. And I can drink the vodka after the baby is born.”
Yulia is my murder dumping lesbian. 
- I like her before she officially joins the mafia, she scams people, men typically, especially from other countries. She’d meet them, pretend to be someone else and tell them how she just needed some money and then she could leave Russia to go to them and marry them. Once she had the money, she’d disappear.
- She’s been to prison quite a bit. Has an oskal, grinning lion, on the back of her left shoulder and a spider on her forearm crawling up. She has a butterfly with an eye on the left wing and lipstick mark on the right wing that denote her being a lesbian.
- Her type in women is probably brunette. That’s it. If they’re brunette, there’s a chance she’s staring with a ‘please come talk to me pretty girl’ look on her face.
- Dimitri tried to hit on her once, thought he was getting somewhere because she was giving him the time of day, and when he tried to touch her, she broke his nose and dislocated his wrist and told him, “Oh stop your screaming and walk it off you baby.”
- Her favorite form of murder is choking someone. Favorite way of disposing the body is by tossing it into a river. She’s trying her best.
- She’s a heavy chainsmoker, nearly as bad as Anatoly is. And if anyone in the garage ever needed a cigarette or a lighter, Yulia and Anatoly are the two they go to.
- She, Vera, and Liliya have a ‘girls night out on the town’ and it results in a dead body having to be dragged from a bar. They argue over the best way to dispose of the body.
And now for Vera…
- Probably my fave so far. I don’t know why. I feel like Sergei is nearly Vladimir and Anatoly’s second in command. Only nearly. Right after Vera. Because Vera is the only one who’s legitimately serious in this mafia is badass as hell.
- Tattooed on one of her fingers is a ring with a crown on it. She’s the only one aside from Vladimir and Anatoly to have stars on both her chest and knees. On her hip is a tattoo symbolizing female thieves. She has a lot of unfinished tattoos on her legs and arms and hands because guards in the prisons would punish the inmates for giving tattoos.
- She was a prostitute before joining the mafia and has quite a few tattoos that show this.
- She and Sergei begin a friends-with-benefits type deal and it results in a baby girl, Nadezhda (Nadya because I think I’m funny because Faith and Hope ba dum tass okay byyyye) who is one year younger than Grisha.
- Okay but Sergei, I headcanon he had a girlfriend, Yelizaveta, and accidental daughter in Russia. But when he’s arrested she leaves him and he has no contact with her or their daughter, Nastya (because I think it’s funny, Nastya and Nadya. no? okay byyyye.)
- She’s a heavy drinker. Smokes, just not as much as Yulia or Anatoly. 
- Is skilled at picking locks. She started at a very young age.
- She’s cold and blunt, nearly rudely so, and stoic to the point where no one can tell when she’s being serious or telling a joke. So when she also acts a fool, everyone is just in shock and “Vera?!” Her response? “Oh no. Your stupid is contagious.”
Okay and Piotr… I have some stupid, cracky headcaons for Piotr but I love them so much that it’s staying.
- So Piotr has a few prison tattoos, more innocent than anything really, from going out drinking under age and getting caught. Vandalized a building at one point or five with some friends. Stupid stuff like that.
- He comes to America for school and needs a job. Just so happens that he catches a glimpse in the newspaper one afternoon that says ‘Veles Taxi Garage: Now Hiring!’So the poor eighteen year old goes and pplies for the receptionist job. Sergei and Yulia see his few tattoos and think he’s already part of the mafia, and hire him on spot. And Piotr starts working as a taxi driver for a full week during the day since he mostly takes night and online classes. And for this full week he doesn’t realize that anything is wrong.So what if he hasn’t met his bosses yet? So what if everyone else in the garage looks scary? They’re also complete and utter morons and hilarious and treat him like family. So what if everyone has tattoos like his and that means they were in prison? He was in prison and he’s still a decent person he likes to think.So it’s just not that weird to him.Until Anatoly sees him one day and “Who the fuck is this? Guys! Who is this child?!”Mikhail, “Oh that’s Piotr-”Piotr, small wave, “Hello.”Mikhail, “-he’s been here a week.”And Anatoly is just ‘how dafuq did i never notice this child here????’ so he takes Piotr up to his office and Piotr starts to worry he’s about to be fired. But Anatoly is just asking him questions.And Piotr just shrugs, “To… to be honest I just wanted to be the receptionist. But I don’t mind driving the cars.”Anatoly hold up wait a second what the fuck did- “…. receptionist?”“That’s what was in the add.”Anatoly finds the add online right there and just leaves the office to start yelling, “Who the fUck put an add for the fucking mafia in the newspaper?!”Yulia raises her hand, “Oh that was me. Vova said to.”“Why the fUck would he do that?!”“He said to get more women in here willingly so we can sell them.”“Well you know what we got?! A college student!“ And that is the day that Piotr begins working for the mafia because he’d rather work for the mafia than be killed by the mafia. Then he meets Vladimir and develops a huge crush.
- He has a thing for people older than him.
- For Domestic au (which is really what all of this is basically yeet!) he meets Linda Diaz (another of my ocs because I’m an oc creating monster) who is friends with Claire, a nurse at the hospital, and begins crushing hard. This ends in a fiasco of him getting stabbed multiple times in various spots by Anatoly because Anatoly just won’t listen to him fully.
- He and Linda have a baby boy much later on and Linda names him Peter after Piotr. Piotr’s never grinned so wide in his life.
So uhm yeah. Still fleshing out some of the ocs for this but as of now, this is them. They are all over grown children and it’s amazing that anyone is scared of them because they’re walking disasters.
I also have way too many ideas on them all throughout the eight years they’re living in Hell’s Kitchen.

The OCs: Alex Sheikh
Tumblr media
Full Name: Indulala Alexandra Sheikh
Emojis:  🐘🍚💃🏽🕌👸🏽
Nicknames: Alex by everyone except her mother who calls her Alexandra. Indulala by her dad and step-mom. Zvezda moya by Anatoly. Alexei alternates between calling her maa or just mom.
Birthday: March 20th.
Place of Birth: Hell's Kitchen, New York.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Misc:
- Her parents divorced when she was nine years old and her mother moved to California. Alex almost went with her mom but she decided to stay with her dad in New York.
Alex considers herself whasian since her mother is white and her dad Asian.
- As a child some of the other students would sometimes laugh at her name, Indulala, and pick on her. So she started to go by Alex instead.
- She’s vegetarian just like her dad. 
She asks Laila to teach her how to cook non-vegetarian Indian foods since Anatoly isn’t a vegetarian and neither is her step-mom.
- Alex is a practicing Hindu, like her dad. Her mom is Christian, and her step-mom is muslim.
- She isn’t overly close to her mother. 
- When she was a teenager she began to work in her dad’s restaurant, Indian Delight, for some extra spending cash. Once she hit highschool and college, she would often fall asleep in a booth from studying. 
- Her favorite dessert is gulab jamun.
- She speaks Hindi fluently since her dad wanted to make sure she knew the language but she struggles with reading and writing in it.
- Her paternal grandmother in India tells her father that he should find a suitable husband for Alex before she’s too old. Alex is eleven when she hears this and chokes on her rice. 
Sanjay tells his mother that Alex will get married when she is ready and to who she wants to marry.
- She’s twelve when her dad meets Laila.
Sanjay meets Laila while visiting family in India and after several months of long distance, Sanjay brings Alex with him to India for his and Laila’s wedding. 
- Laila was a trained dancer in India and teaches Alex how to dance. Alex falls in love with dancing and so begins to learn other forms of the art and decides that she wants to teach dance and own her own studio one day.
Alex sucks at ballet. It’s her least favorite form of dance when she does it but she loves to watch others. 
- Alex always loved spending half of the summer in India with her family. She has many cousins around her age so she never felt without friends. Her mother’s side of the family is much smaller than her dad’s. Alex herself is an only child.
- She has many favorite colors; really she just loves bright and vibrant colors.
- Her favorite animal is elephants. 
- Alex is fairly short, five foot, two inches.
Anatoly has called her a hobit many times before.
- She meets Anatoly when she’s twenty-two. He had been 38. He hadn’t realized she was so much younger than him and she hadn’t realized how much older he was but by the end of their first date, neither really cared. There was an equal amount of pull of affection from both. 
He and Vladimir had gone out for lunch and decided to try Indian Delight. Alex was their server and Anatoly couldn’t help but be captivated by her. Vladimir calls him out in Russian on staring at Alex’s butt as she walks away.
- For Alex and Anatoly’s first date they go to a Korean restaurant. 
- They end up dating and getting married two years later. The wedding was a very Indian wedding; big and long.
Anatoly hid the mafia life from Alex throughout their dating time.
The women in the Veles mafia, Vera, Yulia, and Liliya, had gotten henna for the wedding from Alex’s relatives.
- A year and a half into their marriage Alex learns that she’s pregnant. 
This begins a series of events. The pregnancy is hard for Alex as she’s very anemic and worries she’s going to lose the baby. She’s constantly tired and exhausted, hates some of the cravings she has, and Anatoly is very over-protective of her.
To add on, she and Anatoly have the hardest time picking out baby names. They settle on the agreement that the baby’s name will start with A just like their names and that she can pick out one Hindi and one Russian name, he’ll do the same, then they’ll just pick their favorite out of the four.
Alex picks the names Aaliyah and Alyona. Anatoly picks Anna and Anshula. Once the baby is born Alex tells Anatoly he can pick the name and they name the baby Anna.
- Soon after the birth though Alex finds out about Anatoly’s mafia business and takes their child and leaves him. She’s too afraid to go to the police, fearing something may happen to her child and parents.
- It takes a few years of living with her parents before she finally has the means to move out on her own.
The subdivision she moves into, Yuri and Yuriko live across the street. The Jackson families lives next door on one side with the Li family on the other. This leads to the formation of Alexei, Taka, Jamie, and Peyton being an inseparable foursome.
- At first Alex is terrified when she sees Yuri since Yuri worked for Anatoly and she worried that he would tell Anatoly where she was. But Yuri had a secret family that no one else in the Veles mafia knew about and he didn’t want anything happening to Yuriko or their son. So he and Alex made a deal that they wouldn’t tell anyone about the other.
This would later blow up in their faces but the agreement works well for several years.
- When Anna comes out as trans at twelve, Alex stays up for two whole nights doing research and learning the terminology. She takes Alexei to a doctor and both learn about hormone blockers and HRT.
While reading over the notes she had taken at the doctor’s office later, Alex almost cries. She wants more than anything for her child to be happy and feel safe but she just doesn’t see how she’ll be able to afford the blockers. After a day of thinking it through she decides to talk to Yuri and goes to visit Anatoly at the Veles taxi garage. 
She’s nervous and terrified to be talking to Anatoly but steels herself, this is for her baby. He doesn’t understand all of the terminology she’s using but he gets the gist of it -- their child is their son and Alex needs help paying for future medical bills. Anatoly gives her the money. Then asks if he’ll be allowed to see their son.
- Alex helps come up with names. 
“I liked the name Ayan. But your father didn’t. We had so many disagreements over your name.” It’s the first time in a very very long time that Alex mentions Anatoly and Alexei asks about his father. He decides on a Russian name; Alexei.
- Alex and Alexei have a tradition that during spring break they go to a boardwalk in New Jersey. Both look forward to it all year.
- Alex loves henna. It’s something that she and her step-mom do together often. Alexei likes it too and has been known to help Alex sometimes with it.
- Alex becomes good friends with  André, Malee, and Yuriko. The four families end up celebrating many holidays together. They have the best cook outs.
Because of this, Alexei, Taka, Jamie, Peyton, and Marie have very high standards of Indian, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese foods.
- The few times that Alex has dyed her hair she’s used henna hair dyes. She’s allergic to box dyes.
- She teaches Alexei traditional Indian dances.
She’s taught Marie, Ravdí, Vasya, and Nika how to pole down (because of the exercise and Marie and Vasya both want to be able to do all sorts of dance too). She teaches Toly hip-hop. 
- Anatoly doesn’t tell Alex about re-marrying or his other two sons so it’s a surprise to say the least to both Shauna and Alex when they meet each other.
Until she learned about Shauna, Toly, and Andrey, she imagined a life with Anatoly again. Since they had never officially divorced Alex and Alexei both thought it might be possible. Alex is heartbroken all over again when she learns the truth.
Alex never once blames or hates Shauna, just feels awkward because she feels like a homewrecker. Shauna is heartbroken and angry at Anatoly but doesn’t hate Alex either.
Alexei takes some time to warm up to his younger half brothers but soon the three are super close and willing to throw down in a fight for each other.
- Alex and Shauna become very great, nearly best, friends. The only reason Shauna is hesitant to say best is because Briana has been her childhood best friend.
The two do Saturday afternoon yoga together. 
- She is very particular about her house being very clean. Hence why she has no pets and why Alexei’s messy room bothers her so much.
Alexei begs for a pet so she allows him to have fish. He starts an aquarium with three fish in his bedroom.
- Her favorite movie is Ram Leela.
- When she cooks she listens to Bollywood music and can’t help but to dance around the kitchen as she cooks. Alexei has taken many snapchats of her and sent them to his friends.
Her favorite thing to cook is curry. Any kind, she loves curry.
Sometimes when he’s helping her cook, Alexei will dance along as well.
- She considers Toly and Andrey to be her nephews since they are Alexei’s younger half brothers.
Learning that Vladimir has children of his own is a surprise to her and she treats Jack and Vasya as her nephew and niece as well.
She finds it ironic that Vasya had been learning ballet at her dance studio for years as well. Alex was always so close to Anatoly and neither of them knew it.
- When she’s much older, since Alex has no daughters, she gives a majority of her jewelry to her granddaughter, Zarya.
