Traits
Organized: Any good secretary's biggest secret weapon is organization! I know where everything on my desk is! And the same goes for my house, and anything else I'm in charge of really.
Sensitive: I'm sensitive to what others say or think about me. I'm easily upset. And tend to be weak physically.
Compassionate: I care about a lot of things. If someone I know is hurt, or needs something, I will do my best to help.
Polite: I know my manners. I acknowledge others with small, shy, gestures. I clean up after myself and speak with an indoors voice. I dress modestly. And the like.
Jealous: Sometimes I get a little jealous. And spiteful.
Uneasy: I've been hurt by those I love, and tend to be a bit paranoid at times. Especially around men.
History
Growing up with three older sisters and an annoying twin brother was a little hectic to say the least. There was so much drama growing up, but for the most part, life has been good. Hmm. I suppose I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning.
Twenty-six years ago, on a snowy morning back in Russia, I was born, and less than a half hour later so was my twin brother, Yuri. I already had three older sisters, and they were each as unique and flaky as snowflakes.
The eldest was the artsy type. And rebelliousness, extremely rebelliousness. As soon as Stalina was of age, she moved out. But she still stayed close with the family. As cr- er eccentric, Mama says to call her eccentric, she still had her values in the right places. And while she was talented in the artistic fields, she did not want to learn the family trade of Jewel crafting. Not that it was of much avail. A woman jeweler? Ridiculous! So she went on to travel the world, painting marvelous pictures. She was even the one to find out about the kingdoms, having visited there for a short spell in her early twenties.
Then, my parents tried once again to have a son. But instead they got my second eldest sister. /Sighs/ She was much more feisty than the others. Often feeling like she was in the shadow of our oldest sister, Vera felt the need to act out. Luckily for her, Vera's talent for melodramatics landed her some pretty cool acting gigs. And she is now part of the Russian stage ensemble. And while we are happy for her, we all love to tease her about what a little hellion she was when she was growing up.
I think by the time my parents had Manya, they were a little bit bitter. As that's what Manya means, bitter. Papa wanted a son so badly, and had three fussy girls instead. Poor Manya, she used to be such a sweet girl. But I guess between Vera's drama queen routine and Stalina's finding herself (while driving our parents crazy) Manya felt the need to find ...attention via other means. /sighs/ Being a middle child can be hard. She is currently bouncing from boyfriend to boyfriend, same as high school...She was what Mama said, a bad influence, but still family. She and Papa never really saw eye-to-eye, and still don't. She like Stalina moved out when she could, but doesn't stay close with the family. Instead she only sends mail when she needs money.
Well after three and a half tries /giggles/ I was born, and then Yuri. Papa finally had his son. And as soon as he was old enough to hold a drill bit, you can bet Papa had him working part time in the shop. I remember when Yuri was thirteen, he was pulled out of school to work in the shop full time.
Ah, but I'm sure you didn't come here for a history lesson on my sisters and brother.
Growing up in such a loud and busy house, I wasn't too sure about myself. My sisters, while 'different' were all so very pretty. And very social too. Growing up, I watched as many hopeful boys would ask them out, and they'd turn them down. I didn't get it. I became jealous of the attention they would receive from men. I never got asked out they did. What were they doing so different? I had their DNA. Looking back on it, it was most likely due to my quite personality. I guess I gave off this 'loner' vibe. /hugs self/ But it was in school that I learned I wanted to pursue a career in the communication arts.
But as I got into my older teens, I became less socially awkward, well, less socially awkward. I found a few friends, and with my sisters out of high school, boys were starting to notice me...I hope that doesn't sound shallow /blush/ But I felt like I was finally growing into the person I should be.
I stayed in school, and graduated. I did well in my studies, and went to college for a short while to complete my Secretary degree. That is how I was able to become Secretary to the Mayor here. /smiles/
The reason why I came to this kingdom was that I was sick of my social circle. I was the youngest daughter of a family my whole town knew. Which was bad because everyone expected me to be wild and cra- er, eccentric, like the rest of them. And with Manya's reputation still fresh in the gutters, I didn't like the attention I was getting from men. They thought because she was easy, that I would be too. Suddenly, the attention from men I was receiving wasn't very desirable.
Stalina, noticing how much I wasn't particularly enjoying living here. And so, she told me about the Sky Islands. Honestly, I didn't believe her at first, as she liked to 'experiment' sometimes and would speak in metaphors. But I decided to humor her. And once the idea got in my head, I could not remove it. After graduation, I set off for the islands.
To make matters easier, Yuri decided he'd come with me. Though I don't think it was his sole choice to come. I overheard Mama and him talking before he told me he would be joining me. She worries about us all, and I knew she had some influence on Yuri leaving. I remember at first how much he hated the aspect of it. Having to leave everything he knew behind, but ah, he's always been more social than I have. And I am very grateful he has come with me. And I know he is too.
We are sure to visit home at least home at least once a year. However, last time did not go so well. I had been seeing this man. We were keeping a long distance relationship actually. And I did not want to be teased by my family, so I never told anyone about him. Well, on our last visit home, we met up. He said he was sick of the long-distance relationship deal. And he became very suspicious, thinking I was cheating on him. It made him even more upset that I would not be intimate with him. Our talking became more heated. And one thing led to another. It's sufficient to say that we broke up after that. He took from me what no man should have a right to. I really don't want to talk about it further.

Family (editing)  Dad Joseph Stolin Respected✣Papa, I love you! And I must admit, you've got courage. Living in a house with so much estrogen. /smile/  Mom Aglya Stolin Respected✣You do your best to look out for your little ducklings, as you call us. /hugs/ Can't wait to visit you again!  Oldest Sister Stalina Stolin. The 'Artist' Best Friends✣Six years older than myself, and I still think you're my closest sister! despite how quirky you are, it crystal clear how much you care. I'm glad to be related to someone as strong as you.  Even older Sister Vera Stolin. The Drama queen Friends✣Four years older, but sometimes I'm not so sure you're the older sister. You tend to be a bit melodramatic and childish at times, but you're still so loveable! /hugs/  Older Sister Manya Stolin. The Slut Disappointed✣/plays with hair/ Uh. Manya. What can I say about you, that won't come off sounding like an insult? You're sort of the black sheep in the family. I wish you'd clean up your act.  Twin Brother Yuri Stolin Best Friends✣/Sighs/ My parents simply would not rest until they had a son. And ironically enough, the doctor told my mother that we'd both be girls. But nope, 18 minuets later they finally had a boy. Thank God. But yes, I love Yuri. He has his faults, but his heart is in the right place.
