Emigrated to California from Russia after an incident with her cousin Nikolai (who sexually abused her). She felt dreadful for leaving her sister but it was necessary at the time. She learned to speak English very well, applied for citizenship and with what money she had started attending Ruize, where she met Suzanne. She started dating Collin after things fell out between him and Suzanne. She may still be with Collin. She moved to the city for better opportunities and also because she missed her best friend.
