Olga Alexandrovna (Russian, 1882 - 1960) aka Olga Koulikovsky Romanova, Still life with flowers in a sunny window with a view to the garden, s.d.
Private collection
© photo Bruun Rasmussen
Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia was the youngest child of Emperor Alexander III of Russia. Her older brother was Tsar Nicholas II.
She was raised at the Gatchina Palace outside Saint Petersburg. Olga's relationship with her mother, Empress Marie, the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, was strained and distant from childhood. In contrast, she and her father were close. He died when she was 12, and her brother Nicholas became emperor.
In 1901, she married Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg, who was privately believed by family and friends to be homosexual. Their marriage of 15 years remained unconsummated, and Peter at first refused Olga's request for a divorce. The couple led separate lives and their marriage was eventually annulled by the Emperor in October 1916. The following month Olga married cavalry officer Nikolai Kulikovsky, with whom she had fallen in love several years before.

you know we all say "the gang ruined cricket" this "the gang destroyed cricket's life" that but it was actually the sheer sex appeal of ms. deandra reynolds that started this domino effect. matthew mara was down so bad for dee that he used his once in a lifetime permanent resignation from being a priest for a chance with her. let's all get it right: an opportunity for dee reynolds pussy destroyed cricket's life.

Hi!!! Hope your writing is going well!! Question here 🙋♀️, will be be seeing cass in the future of TDSB? Maybe even helana?
Hopping on tumblr before I start for the day- but im hopeful of finishing this evening!
Cass 100%, i've mentioned her a few times but as of RN she is abroad "finding herself" (shes on a mask mission-) She is due to "come home" in a later chapter then of course stay for the rest of the plot. But as of rn she isnt "avaliable"
Helena no, I already have so many characters juggling- and compared to the rest of Batfam I haven't really read anything regarding her so I wouldn't be confident in fitting her into the story. (Same reason Harper and Cullen aren't mentioned)
Anyways- With so many characters and introducing the premise, I try to balance by having some of the "non essential" (as of rn) characters be convinently elsewhere. Like Cass on her trip or as of RN canon Bruce is in space.
