Backstory
As a child, Snezhana was raised by her grandparents in place of her typically absent parents. Both her mother(when around) and grandmother served as wonderful maternal figures, to an extent even her grandfather, leading her to adopt her current optimistic and motherly personality. Her father worked outside of the mother’s family’s orphanage, and eventually he joined the war only to pass away, his mother following suit.
Snezhana had been so accustomed to her optimistic role, her positive attitude uplifting even her mourning grandparents, thus giving her no chance to cry herself. Being demons, with better physical abilities than a human even at their ages, Snezhana’s grandparents eventually joined the war for the sake of the orphanage’s children. Despite being so young, Snezhana continued to put up a tough facade even when her grandparents disappeared, simply because the ever growing amount of admitted children needed her positivity.
While she ignored her sadness, it was subdued a considerable amount when she cared for others. Seeing that she was capable of raising children of all ages, multiple infants even, Snezhana was proud of herself. She assured herself that her family would think the same, finding her work to be a passion in place of an inherited burden. Of course, she would have liked more constant aid, but Reuya’s townspeople had always been beneficiaries to Maruska’s orphanage. Reuya treated the children as their own, even if they didn’t outright adopt anyone; the children were insistent on what they considered their home. Townspeople occasionally performed for the children, sent gifts and funding, even paying a demon doctor to tend to the children.
In the end Snezhana got so many helping hands, and the townspeople were very appreciate of what she had been doing on her own since she was a child. When she smiles, it’s for the children, for the family she wants to impress, and because she’s genuinely happy now. There are existing issues like the remnants of the wars, angels searching for demons in her town, and recently rumors of Baba Yaga. Snezhana smiles despite such things as well, but if anything where to threaten the safety of Reuya’s children, she’s promised herself to do something about it at the cost of her own safety.
