This is me, Katia Semenovich, aren't I beautiful? I know, I know I am. I moved to Starlight Shores to chase a dream of mine that I've had since childhood. While it is rude to discuss this sort of thing normally I feel I must to explain a little more about me. Daddy, or to others Vladimir Semenovich, was very well known - he was immortal and he would never die of natural causes - but he tried to hide his affiliation with the occult from the townsfolk.
Daddy runs all of Riverview, the Cheng's tried to take over his town at one time, but they were never heard from again. My mother, Svetlana Semenovich, practiced witchcraft like me - I guess you could say we are both naturals. Mother and I were never very close, but I was always close to Daddy. I kept my dreams hidden from Daddy for many years as I know it is not what he would want for me.
As soon as I turned 18, I had many suitors, but my father was set to marry me off to his right-hand man, Pavel Chekhov. Pavel was a very cruel man who liked his meat rare and his women quiet and obedient. I knew Daddy would get very angry with me, he would never hurt me, but I could never be myself around a monster like Pavel! I was far too good for him anyways, very well-known throughout Riverview - for my oddly colored but beautiful eyes, my gorgeous full bee-stung lips (it's all natural, I swear), and my wonderful high cheekbones. Yes, some idiots did used to make fun of my mouth when I was little, I was called Fishy Missy and Katia the Clown quite a few times as a child, but I had to keep that information from Daddy, otherwise my classes would only ever consist of myself. Once I turned into a teenager my lips started making the boys go WILD, HA! I always told them I was better than they were, it just took them far too long to notice.
My daddy WAS very angry when I finally told him that I wanted to follow my dream instead of getting married to Pavel, he did not hurt me physically, but he took away ALL my stuff and kicked me out, telling me I was never allowed to come back to Riverview unless I was rich enough to buy out the whole damn town. One day I will be, but I will not look back. I want to be the most famous and beloved singer in all of Starlight Shores. One day I would like a family too, I'm like, so young still. But no one can keep me from at least looking at the cute boys!

I plan to settle down and live in Starlight Shores as a star (and with a family) in a very nice expensive house one day. I refuse to allow myself to get pulled off track of my dreams, so I bought the LARGEST plot of land in Starlight Shores (OMG can you believe it? It's so green and it's all mine!!! Pavel be damned, this is my life now!) and I will continue to build onto it as I acquire money over time. It will be amazing when I finish!
When Daddy told me to leave, he took everything from me. I asked an old acquaintance named Katarina (who worked in the kitchen of Daddy's large house) to call me on a night when Daddy was going out for a beatdown and mother was asleep. That night, I went back to the house and raided one of Daddy's safes so I would have something to start off with - it was less than 17K, but a lot more than the nothing I had prior to the slight act of larceny (shhhhh).

I had a tiny house built on the lot so I will have someplace cozy to call my own (I had 7K left over after buying my lot), but I had no money to put flooring down or wallpaper - that will all just have to wait. For now it is large open spaces, an unfinished dark home filled with glorious dreams (and the occasional rodent... I am not used to living with so little in the way of means). |
Well, I am a bit disappointed at the difficult road ahead of me after being raised practically as a Princess (and that suited me quite well - I am not sure how well I do at being anything other than Vladimir's constantly sought after daughter). But I will show Daddy that I can do it on my own - I will figure something out. |
Here is my house for now, lots of space which will be good once I have more money. I will have the builders add a few more walls and make some additional rooms. For now I only have one room - my tiny bedroom - with my single bed, cheap shower and cheap toilet. In the larger area I have a cheap fridge, some counters, a sink, a cheap stove and a cheap seating area. The overuse of the word "cheap" is making my skin crawl (or is that something actually crawling on my skin, yikes!), but hearing everyone chant KATIA in the crowd soon will make everything better....
Okay, okay; so I know I don't have walls or even a computer, but I DID get a tablet. Daddy took my tablet away when I told him I didn't want to get married to Pavel, but I can't lose all the important technology from my previous life - I love playing games on tablets! I have to start learning some charisma, I will use the tablet to learn so that I can start building it up through socialisation! Besides, they don't know I'm here yet but once people hear of me, everyone will want a piece!
