My name is Kseniia Nikolova doch' and I am the daughter of a Boyar named Nikolai Aliksdrovich. I am 18 years old in the year 1550, and our Tsar(Emperor) is Ivan the Fourth (you know him as Ivan the Terrible). I lived in a small town with my mother Olga, my sister Tatiana and my 2 brothers, Nikolai and Aliksandr. One day however, I was kidnapped by raiding Cossaks. One of them was kind enough to keep me alive, even though I was made his slave. I was then sold off to another man, who in turn sold me to an even more kind man, an Englishman. Once he bought me, he let me go free in the wilds of England. I was found by a man named Gerrard Carpentarius, and he has adpoted me as his daughter. I now live in the Kingdom of Ealdormere, and with my new father's permission, have decided to leave and seek my fortune in the barony of Ramshaven.
I am an authorized fencer here in Ealdormere, and am starting to get into heraldry. I am going to start learning embroidery as well hopefully. I am currently a resident of the Canton of Bryniau Tywynnog (Kitchener, Ont.) which is located within the Barony of Ramshaven (Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding area). We all reside within the northern kingdom of Ealdormere.
