Public Information:
The world knows Morzanna Constantinova Strastych as one of the top dancers of her generation. She began dancing professionally at the age of fourteen, retiring at 18 to enter the military. She distinguished herself as a Russian military hero, retiring at thirty due to an injury. She then returned to the stage, proving she had not lost a bit of her strength or skill.
Her family is one that is also known to have faced tragedy. Her mother died in a boating accident when she was a small child, her father burning to death in a house fire just after her seventeenth birthday. Her eldest brother Alexander disappeared when she was thirty, just before she returned home after being injured while in the field of battle. Generations of Strastych have faced terrible odds, leaving many to wonder if they are cursed. Financially she is quite wealthy, inheriting a fortune and many businesses. Her defunct blog is about her cooking adventures, and in Russia she has a cookbook. She has also dabbled in modeling and has had brand sponsorships in the past.
Most recently her father was reported missing, last seen in Wailing Rock. Her publicist has checked the local area for appearance opportunities, as well as handling her housing and transport before her arrival. (If you want to set something up, let me know)
Other Russians will also know: Her father was rumored to be a criminal, possibly in charge of multiple organized crime groups. Her brothers all have prison records and are quite notorious as assholes.
