Personality
Ostentatious
Typically the kind of woman who carries herself with a significant desire to express herself, Bianca is self-confident, ambitious and rather domineering in fact, and largely dauntless in her outlay. Used to getting what she wants through one method or another, despite her tendencies toward vanity and perhaps frivolous design, ultimately she shows that she is determined and even single minded when it comes to pursuing what she wants, albeit a little ruthless at times.
Frank
Not often one to beat around the bush, Bianca tends not to mince her words when it comes to her expectations or her desires, and can seem rather blunt around people, especially when annoyed. Seeming to have learned that blunt truths have greater impact than sugar coating and white lies, while it is true that at times she might colour the truth to suit her purpose she also does not shy away from it, and can seem a little jarring in how she comports herself because of that.
Entitled
A girl who has a rather sizeable estimation of her own worth and rather a demanding one at that, spending her life growing up in the lap of luxury has made Miss Kozlova rather spoiled, and also prone to presumption of her own position as well. Believing that she is one of the elite of the world and not about to settle for something else, it is only natural for her to think that she should be doted on and idolized by the world around her, and seems to take badly to being denied the gain and gratification which she believes she is due.
Manipulative
A girl who is used to getting what she wants one way or another, Katya rarely shows all that many scruples in acquiring whatever her heart might desire, and is happy to use cunning and controlling tendencies in order to do that. Learning when she was a little girl that her large eyes and pout got her what she wanted from her daddy more often than not, the girl has refined her tactics as she she has gotten older, she has few qualms about using her looks to her advantage, and can tend to 'play' others in order to favour her outcome. Perhaps not even totally aware of this either, she can launch into tantrums and outbursts of emotion easily but revert when she realizes she has her way, and as such can only make herself more obnoxious to bear.
Contentious
Holding great pride in herself and carrying a rather significant ego, Miss Kozlova does not overlook sleights all that readily, and seems to inherently seek to outdo and subdue any who might seek or seem to overshadow her. The centre stage star of her life and not the type who shares her spotlight all that readily, the girl can be vengeful and competitive, and enjoys putting people in their place because of that. Possessing some element of sadism to boot, she would not deny gaining a thrill from causing pain, especially on a party she feels deserves it.
Provocative
A bratty show off who is rather the attention seeker to boot, Katya enjoys cultivating interest and considers herself rather the captivating character, and isn't afraid to act rather shamelessly to ensure this is true. Dressing in a suggestive manner and having something of a mouth on her, she seems to be the sort that thinks there's no such thing as bad publicity, and as such can be just as prone to employing ill mannered behaviour to draw eyes and minds toward her should her inherent charm fail.
Frivolous
A woman who is ruled more by materialism and transient tastes than deep thoughts and philosophy, Katya is far more interested in her image and the moment than much else, and can show a whimsical and flaky tendency because of that. The type who would think little to welcoming a new lover or discarding one after she has had her fun, for the most part she enjoys pretty things far more than people, and habitually prioritizes her own happiness over the wellbeing of most others.
Generous
In some ways more appreciative of the efforts of others than she lets on however, while Miss Kozlova would struggle to place the needs of another ahead of her own, she doesn't mind sharing a few breadcrumbs now and then either. Often paying over the odds for items she likes and a generous tipper, she likes to reward those who enrich her life, and can sometimes be supportive and encouraging of the people she has grown close to. Assuming it doesn't impede her, of course.
Possessive
Showing a strange sense of loyalty and protectiveness toward those in her life, Katya shows an odd sort of 'chivalry' when it comes to the people she is close to, and through seems to extend certain aspects of her egotism to them. Offended when her staff or family are insulted and perhaps almost as much as she would be personally, she will stand up for them and stamp down those who try to undermine them, and in her own shallow and often clumsy way also likes to dote on them as well.
Appearance
A pretty and mildly curvaceous young woman, Katya is an attractive girl skilled in showing off how good she looks. Coming with an ample bosom and narrow waist which leads into a pleasingly broad set of hips fitted as standard, Katya’s frame belies the tone of an active young woman who makes the effort to keep herself in great shape. The face of the girl a pleasing, slightly impish set of features, Miss Kozlova has a slightly mischievous and foxy visage with her almond shaped eyes as well as her sharp jawline and nose, with full lips that just beg to be highlighted with a nice colour. Gifted with cool cobalt irises, Katya possesses eyes of a rich and brilliant blue colour, they can look quite dazzling when caught by the light and are framed by a set of long, dark lashes which can make a wink or flutter seem to hold such promise.
Keeping her bright blonde locks rather long, they reach all the way down to her mid back, the sense of waviness that is possessed by Katya’s almost luminous locks can make them look a little wild and unruly at times, but provide great body when she styles them right. Possessing an unusually fair shade of blonde hair naturally that can look white or silvery in the right light, this only adds to her overall fair image, and when using her quirk can give her a magical and almost ethereal quality to her image. Most commonly seeming to tie her hair into a tidy plait with a few loose bangs which she may hang over her shoulder, that mild unruliness gives her a bit of a windswept look which she plays up when she lets her hair down so to speak, and can offer a sense of volume and glamour fitting of her status and vanity.
Varied when it comes to her fashion choices though usually carrying herself with a sense of style and sometimes flamboyance, Katya is bold in her choices and expensive in her tastes, but overall has more than enough experience to know how to make herself look good. Often gravitating for cool colours due to her complexion and as such leaning toward blue or silver, despite that she isn’t afraid to throw a more vibrant flourish into her wardrobe to make a statement such as a piece of red accessory wear or even some exotic print, and enjoys drawing attention to herself on her own terms with vivacious choices in her wardrobe.
Prone to changing her clothes often and even multiple times in a day if truth be told, though the specifics of her wardrobe might change with her mood, provocative designs tend to be a constant. Fond of items that play up her figure, she is happy to wear a short skirt or deep neckline, and feels no qualms either about dressing herself in something skin-tight either. Seeming to enjoy leather and PVC as much as she might cotton or silk, she always has something for any occasion, whether it be a trip to a club or a gala, and usually aims to steal every eye and heart in the room while she wears it…

Background
The history of Katya Kozlova not much of a complicated fair really, she was born as the youngest and only daughter of a somewhat unsavoury regime of northern gangsters, though not so as she would notice, she was born into a life of privilege and power, though perhaps initially heartache. Losing her mother in childhood, this tragedy seemed to be something that would guide the fate of the fair femme and her family as well, and moulded her father especially.
The man feared in the land though smart enough to keep the majority of his exploits quiet, unlike pirates and the sort who seemed to want to steal the headlines he was more low key, and understood that discretion was the key to survival, not prestige. Still keeping himself and his gang as a feared name in the underworld however, he could be ruthless and this fuelled his success, but on the whole was pragmatic for the most part.
A romantic however who had fallen in love with his beautiful wife and fathered several children with her, despite his reputation he was a dedicated husband, and woe be tide any member of his organization who interrupted date night. This perhaps the reason he reacted so badly to losing his wife to the attack of a rival when Katya was only a toddler, the man launched a campaign of vengeance on those responsible and any who might have even thought about attacking his family again, and manufactured an incident known as the bloody valentine that saw him allying with several prominent crews of the time to destroy his opposition and consolidate his power in the meantime.
The grief that the man felt perhaps why he tended to be softer on his daughter than he had been his brothers, even from a young age many remarked that Katya was the spitting image of her mother, and soon learned to exploit the favour she possessed to her own advantage. The most spoiled of his children by a long stretch and a skilled manipulator, she knew that pouting and lash fluttering would often mean she got her way, and tears and foot stomps practically guaranteed it in fact. For that reason wanting for nothing, she only had to ask for a pony or a pretty dress and papa was sending his men to the best stables or summoning the finest couture for her, and always returned home with something special to dote on him whenever he made a business trip.
Ever demanding of his time and attention however and perhaps necessarily given how she was raised with only a doting but at times distant parent, while she was given nannies and the like to look after her she only really seemed to respect or obey her daddy, and craved his interest. Raised as much by her brothers as she was anyone, they were some of the few who seemed able to cross her due to the family connection, but even then things seemed precarious at best. It only taking a complaint from the lass for them to be chided by their father, while she was the youngest and most frivolous member of the family she also seemed to rule the roost as well as she showed a domineering and demanding manner that made her bossy, but also seemed to earmark her as a leader as well.
Isolated perhaps because of the protectiveness of her papa, rather than going to school she was educated in private, though rarely seemed to apply herself. Not lacking for intelligence but having little patience for study, she preferred to develop her wiles, and was more adept at bribing or blackmailing her tutors into reporting good grades than actually doing the work needed to achieve them. Few lasting all that long in fact before the girl and her situation drove them away, she was only too happy to remind them that it only took the right accusation to be taken to her doting daddy for them to lose their job, and more than that, and so she seemed to study what she wanted rather than what was expected.
Interested in daddy's business however and doing what she could to help him when she was little, Katya tended not to think ill of her father for his occupation or the deeds he did, or the men that worked for him either. In many ways seeming to feel like the latter were a distant form of family and treating them like friends since she didn't have all that many kids her age in her life, she played up to the people that worked for daddy and the folk he was allied with, and certainly enjoyed feeling like the center of attention for them too.
Often seeming to show off her dresses and hair for them or offer a little song and dance to amuse them, head pets and candies were a nice reward, and beyond this she seemed to develop a taste for activities that were perhaps far from the norm for a pretty little girl. Firing her first pistol before she was in double figures, for her birthday that year she begged daddy to get her a nice compact pistol she could practice with, and though he was reluctant, he ultimately agreed and offered her up the item.
Using this all the more to impress her siblings and friends, she would often shoot cans and crockery as target practice, though unlike her brothers seemed to dislike the idea of trying her hand against birds or rabbits. Possessing a strong affinity for animals and owning a multitude of pets, she had a range of dogs and ponies, birds in cages and even craved her own tiger, but even doting daddy had to say no to that.
The interests and hobbies of the lass not limited to shooting and animal care however, though she enjoyed music and a little singsong she had more talent for both singing and dancing, and showed that she was a decent little performer when given the chance. The coaches she had for this some of the only adults outside of her family that she seemed to take seriously, the fair femme had a flair for performance and could show herself something of a perfectionist when she found something worth applying herself for, and demonstrated that when she took part in a youth performance at the local theatre. Gossip of course saying it had more to do with who her father was, of course, a dazzling performances in talent shows proved that she was born for centre stage, and though her interest in such a thing ebbed like so many other hobbies this would not be the last time she sparkled either.
Taking an interest in personal combat though not for the most wholesome of reasons, in later years Katya might have been embarrassed to admit that she developed a teen crush upon one of the better fighters in the gang, and found herself seeking his tutelage and approval that came with it. Training herself vigorously to be able to wield a pistol while weaving her way through close combat fights, in part the exercise was designed to help her get closer to a stoic and sometimes gruff figure who was far too old for her, but ultimately this proved enough motivation to develop a dedicated routine as well.
Dad not exactly approving since he could see through her intention of course and no doubt having a word with her tutor to deter any temptation all the same, the lingering discontent from his wife's assassination meant that he did appreciate the fact that she had grown better at taking care of herself, though still seemed to prefer to assign her bodyguards and such rather than the lass get her hands too dirty. A shame really, since the aging Miss Kozlova couldn't help but feel envious of her brothers and the exploits they talked of as the joined the operation proper.
The loneliness of her life provided with at least some relief however when father seemed to provide her with a personal attendant, though at first Katya was a little bewildered by the company of some urchin he had rescued from the street or something, ultimately she grew to accept and enjoy the company of the lass assigned as her maid. It rare that the girl ever had the company of someone her own age after all, in time she welcomed the girl as a companion and even a confidante, and seemed to dote on her in her own way. Having little sleepovers and giving the lass makeovers for fun, it was like being a big sister, and she enjoyed both the attention and loyalty she garnered.
All the more armed to join her brothers as well when she has rather the sweet sixteenth birthday, while there was talk of her being gifted her own luxury yacht and crew father really wowed his daughter by providing her with a true rarity, and one she could scarcely think suited her more. Coming across the Gira Gira no Mi over the course of his business and giving it to the apple of his eye for such on occasion, Katya certainly approved of the ability to conjure sparkling gemstones whenever she wished, and decreed there was no power more befitting her brilliance.
Quickly coming to love her ability as well, though perhaps some days by the pool she lamented the loss of the ability to take a dip the now dazzling diva loved her ability to create such marvels, and barely seemed to care that they weren't as precious or valuable as diamonds or sapphires. Viewing herself as the true splendour always and her ability merely the window dressing to bring that out, she learned to craft sculptures and even weapons with her power, and use it creatively for the purpose of combat. Though in time, perhaps her father would come to regret doting on her so much, and not just because of the times when she attempted to go to parties and such clad only in glittering gemstones?
Seeming to raise her ambitions as well as she grew older and more able, while in her youth she had been eager and excited to follow into the family business, as she grew into the task more and more she felt disconnected from such ideas. A soul who was far too ostentatious to be discreet, while others shuffled and sneaked about like rats she wanted to strut like the peacock, Katya was better at sending a message than capturing reward covertly, especially when father seemed too protective to let her put her good looks and charms to use as well.
The life that had given her everything slowly seeming to become something that smothered her as she grew into a young woman, while it was nice being doted on by daddy and wanting for little in terms of means, a steady dissatisfaction seemed to drive Katya to wish to flee the nest. Coming to envy the faces of pirates and outlaws that she found on posters and in newspapers in fact, she envied the fact that they seemed to build an almost celebrity-like level of infamy, and wanted to claim that for her own.
For that reason deciding that she should go out and make her own name in the world, at first she asked her daddy for a ship and crew, but ultimately his protectiveness forbade this as well. Left with no choice but to abandon her home in order to pursue her dreams, she arranged to escape and rally her own crew with a note to her father to watch the headlines, and has since set out into the world armed with her now honed abilities and ambition as well, with every intention of being a figure that dominates the headlines.
Young certainly but undaunted by that fact, and practically assured of success given who she is, at least in her own estimation, she is ready to take the world by storm and accept no compromises in claiming her status. After all, how can she force the world to idolize trivial figures like snake empresses and mermaid princesses when she is waiting in the wings, hm?
