Her hair is either kept short or just long enough to pull into a ponytail. Her style tends to lean towards the tomboy side, and she's never been seen with makeup or really dressed up for that matter. Well beyond her dress uniform that is.<br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong>Tatyana believes the only true limits one has in a world like this are the ones they place upon themselves. So excuses don't get far with her, in fact, they only get her pushing the individual harder. Most would see this as harsh or cruel, but in the end, she is actually doing it to better them. To help them to survive and become something more then they thought possible. She has an eye for the potential in people and has always strived to help them realize as well. Granted some are far less grateful for the added attention. Only in time do they come to understand what Tatyana was really doing.<br/><br/>Tatyana has always been known for her strong will and determination. To the point where she has pushed herself farther then most would ever think possible. Standing when most would think she should fall, or taking on the challenges most couldn't see her surpassing. In past years she's been known to have pushed herself to the breaking point. But she has become stronger for it in the end.<br/><br/>Most of the lower classmen utter hushed rumors about her. Some say she has no emotions, as she seems to never become shaken or broken down. No one has ever seen her cry, or simply give in. In truth all people break, all people want to give in at some point. But it is then Tatyana reminds herself to be strong. Only in her most private moments, would she ever release the storm of emotions that have assaulted her senses through the years. Learning to utilize them to strengthen her magic has taken years of practice. The understanding of control and the ability to tap into them at any given moment has been trying at times but a proven skill she works to better with each passing day.<br/><br/>That being said Tatyana is not always a constant hard ass. She does have a cheeky side to her and knows that there are times to enjoy life. Working that hard for a goal and never rewarding yourself (no matter how small) just seems silly. One of the few known moments is when she is sitting around the table, drinking a bit and playing poker with her fellow classmates. Or taking the moment to celebrate a victory, after all forgetting what you’re working so hard for will only weaken you in the end.<br/><br/>Tatyana has never been in a relationship during her time at Durmstrang. In all honesty, she believes it would be far too distracting. And despite her father's beliefs about where a woman’s place should be, she strives to make her own path. That does not mean she hasn't had urges...or that she doesn't satisfy those urges. But overly romantic attachments are not her thing.<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong>Tatyana Lauritzen younger years were spent chasing after her brothers. Her older brother Axel and her twin Gabriel were always off trying to train with their father or play the rougher games girls weren't supposed to play. It drove her father mad, as he believed that a woman shouldn't be doing such things. That Tatyana should be playing with dolls or having tea parties, not rolling in the mud or climbing rocks. Yet despite his best efforts to instill a softer ideal upon her, she was determined to be the tomboy that bested her brothers.<br/><br/>Tatyana's mother, a strong-willed woman, saw no harm in her daughter wanting to do what her brothers did. And despite her husband's grumbling encouraged her to be and do whatever it was that felt right. Even if that meant she didn't get to play dress-up with her little girl.<br/><br/>Upon entering Akademiya Iz Mladshiya Volshebnik (Academy of Junior Wizards) it was clear that there was more to Tatyana then one would think when first looking at her. At her age she was still smaller than boys, even her twin brother outweighed her. But her mind was what helped her excel during her younger school years. She practiced without pause to be the best. Her grades a clear indication of her minds real potential. Tatyana graduated with honors before moving on to Durmstrang.<br/><br/>Upon becoming a first year Tatyana set goals for herself. Her twin brother teasing and believing she could not surpass him or achieve those goals only motivated her to push that much harder. She was known for her energy, her need to learn and her willingness to try. It was hard, to say the least; upper-class men pushed her that much harder because of the attention she'd draw upon herself. But Tatyana dug in and pushed forward, passing her first series of test on the first try. This became the starting point of her brother’s resentment as his scores were not only worse than hers but he barely managed to pass some of them.<br/><br/>Tatyana began to put her plans into motion the moment her first year started. But first, she had to learn how to handle herself against harsher opponents. This meant that a good bit of that year was spent getting her ass handed to her in some of the more physical exercises. Brute force was never going to help her win, there was simply no way she could match the boys in that area. Her brother made that rather clear when it put her in the infirmary. It was then Tatyana began to read her opponents, each one had a weakness she simply had to find it and use it to her advantage.<br/><br/>Training hard every day, even to the late night hours Tatyana learned to use her speed and agility to her advantage. Her mind was her strongest weapon, but her body was soon becoming finely tuned to compliment that. The tides turning as she challenged her brother once more for his Captain position of one of the school's Quidditch team. The final blow not only returning his favor of pain but also gaining her the new position and a great deal respect.<br/><br/>This caused a great deal of strife within the boys close to her brother. They challenged and bucked against her command. One even going as far as trying to attack and take advantage of her, his way of putting Tatyana in her place. Thankfully she had not earned her station without reason and was able to put the attacker in his place. He was promptly punished for his actions once released from the medical area. A position the sorry male still finds himself into this day. Her brother may have resented her, but he did try and explain that was never what he wanted. Still, the whole incident has led to a great deal of strife between the siblings.<br/><br/>Her 3rd year was that moment when balance and control needed to be found. Tatyana needed to find the ability to remain calm no matter what was thrown at her. Emotions had their place and would only make her seem weak and feminine. And despite the equality within Durmstrag, she knew it would only hold her back. Meditation, study and further training of her body readied her for what was to come.<br/><br/>The day of her final tests Tatyana was forced to make a choice. Accept that she could only go so far, or push to prove her family and others wrong. Her brother tried to put doubt within her mind, even going as far as telling her she shouldn't surpass him. That it would make him and the family look bad. But her response was clear once she decimated him in the first challenge within the tests. If he was so weak that he had to stoop to those tactics then he did not deserve to excel. He would have to work as hard as she did or fall back in the ranks once more.<br/><br/>Her scores were beyond impressive; the doubt that was once held about her seemed to vanish as she finished her last tests. Now Tatyana still strives to push herself believing that there is always more to learn. She uses her station and knowledge to help those below her. Granted her version of helping is known to be harsher than most with a softer touch. But she knows what they will face if they really wish to achieve anything worthwhile and knows that being easy on them will get them nowhere. Now heading to Hogwarts for the TWT Tatyana knows that they will face unexpected changes and challenges, but believes with enough force of will and belief of self that she and her fellow classmates can not only handle but excel at whatever comes their way.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Music, reading, playing cards, cigars, a good stiff drink, flying, the outdoors, parkor, gymnastics, training(mind and body), dueling, war games, competition, snowboarding, camping, rock climbing, sparing, swimming, being a general smart ass with her friends...<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Whining, people being lazy, people expecting her to be weak for being a woman, her brother, cockiness (specially when you can't back it up), chick flicks, drama queens,<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong><br/><br/>Older Brother | Axel Falkenrath  | Hit Wizard | 32 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Twin Brother | Gabriel Falkenrath | Student | 23 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Father | Pettier Falkenrath | Head Auror | 57 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Mother | Adela Lauritzen | Head of Accidental Magic Reversal Department  | 57 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Aunt | Sassa Lauritzen | Magical Historian | 55 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Grandfather | Stefan Lauritzen | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Grandmother | Kaia Bremer | Magical Historian | 89 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Great Grandmother | Tatyana Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Great Grandfather | Reportedly unknown (dark family secret)<br/><br/>Maternal Great Great Grandmother | Gabriella Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Great Great Grandfather | Lucas Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Paternal Grandfather | Halvard Falkenrath | Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot| 84 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Paternal Grandmother | Frida Falkenrath (Raske) | Housewife  | 82| Pureblood<br/><br/>Paternal Great Grandfather | Johan Falkenrath | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Paternal Great Grandmother | Katja Falkenrath (Vinter) | retired mediwizard | 103 | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Great Great Grandmother | Gabriella Bremer | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/>Maternal Great Great Grandfather | Margit Falkenrath (Dahl) | Deceased | Pureblood<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br/>O - Outstanding<br/>E - Exceeds Expectations<br/>A - Acceptable<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br/>P - Poor<br/>D - Dreadful<br/><del>T - Troll</del><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br/><em>Charms</em>- O<br/><em>Transfiguration</em>- O<br/><em>Herbology</em>- E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em>- O<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em>- A<br/><em>Potions</em>- O<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em>- E<br/><em>Astronomy</em>- A<br/><em>Divination</em>- P<br/><em>History of Magic</em>- O<br/><em>Arithmancy</em>- A<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em>- A<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br/><em>Charms</em>- O<br/><em>Transfiguration</em>- O<br/><em>Herbology</em>- E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em>- O<br/><em>Potions</em>- O<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em>- E<br/><em>History of Magic</em>- O<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Harris' hawk (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/Harris%27s_Hawk_%28Parabuteo_unicinctus%29_3_of_4_in_set.jpg/220px-Harris%27s_Hawk_%28Parabuteo_unicinctus%29_3_of_4_in_set.jpg) (her familiar/pet his name is Franky)<br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong>Katee Sackhoff<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong>Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22100.msg859410#msg859410)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong>
