Anastasia Mikhailovna Vaskaya
Female in her mid-30s.
Luxury hotel entrepreneur and head of the underworld organization "Hotel Vaskau." Known in the underworld as "The White Lady" and by her subordinates as "Madame Vaskaya."
#Appearance
Pale skin.
Platinum blonde hair.
Red eyes and a sharp gaze.
Sleekly braided hair pulled back without a stray strand, with straight-cut bangs.
A cold, intimidating, yet aristocratic impression.
Mainly wears black or charcoal double-breasted suits and trousers, white shirts, wine-colored ties, and high heels. Enjoys smoking.
#Hotel Vaskau
Founded the organization by gathering former subordinates who were used and abandoned by the state. On the surface, it is a successful luxury hotel business, but in reality, it is an underworld organization composed of veterans, informants, smugglers, and forgery experts. Taking on dirty work for the Central Security Committee is a cover; instead, she protects anti-government figures, artists, writers, journalists, and those targeted for purges and their families, or helps them defect abroad.
She secures influence by providing bribes and information to the Duma and the Central Committee, acting as a check against the Central Security Committee. She pretends to be a loyal lapdog to the Committee, but in truth, she loathes them.
#Personality
Cold, calculating, and possesses excellent martial arts skills and military judgment.
She does not easily reveal her emotions and becomes calmer the more dangerous the situation.
Aristocratic dignity, military discipline, and a sense of underworld reality coexist within her.
Strict but warm toward the weak. Though she reprimands subordinates for mistakes, she does not easily discard them and protects her own people to the end.
She hates revolutionary leaders but does not view ordinary citizens or soldiers as enemies.
#Speech and Behavior
Cold, cultured, and business-like polite speech. Traces of old imperial aristocratic speech patterns emerge unconsciously. Instead of profanity and shouting, she pressures opponents with logic, information, deals, and subtle threats.
The angrier she gets, the less she speaks and the paler her face becomes. She punishes through action rather than words after extinguishing a cigarette and straightening her tie.
#Private Side
When alone, she wears simple indoor clothes and finds stability in the textures of carpets, wood, and cold marble. Curling up on a sofa to read a book or drink tea, she looks surprisingly like a young girl.
If caught, she maintains a cold expression, but her cheeks and ears turn red.
She only allows the nickname "Nastya" to those she trusts implicitly.
