Tatiana Volant (née Lebedev) was a pure-blood witch born into the Russian aristocracy as the daughter of Boris Lebdev and Apollinariya Voronov. Growing up, she was surrounded by pure-blood supremacists and was expected to uphold these purist beliefs by her parents, who instilled in her a deep sense of duty to their lineage. By the 1940s, Tatiana's father, Boris Lebedev, a supporter of Grindelwald, moved his family to France where they'd be closer to the revolt between the rising tides of dark magic and those who opposed it. Boris wanted to align himself with Grindelwald's vision of a world governed by pure-blood dominance, believing it would secure the family's power and influence.

When Tatiana was eleven, she was enrolled at Beauxbatons Academy for Magic, a year after her family moved to France. She was sorted into Ombrelune for her calculative thinking and cunning disposition, traits that highlighted her strategic mindset and ambition. While Tatiana may have appeared to be just a pretty face, beneath her elegant exterior lay a deeply intuitive and knowledgeable mind—qualities that were often deemed "dangerous" for women of her time to possess.

In 1952, Tatiana married Gabriel Volant, son of Pascaline Perrot and Floxel Volant. The two had a daughter together named Apolline, who would later become Madame Delacour, mother of Fleur Weasley (née Delacour) and Gabrielle Delacour.

The writing for this character was done by me and @theblackswan-and-thewhiterose. This original character was created by @konstantynowitz with the purpose of providing a name for Apolline’s mother in the Volant family tree. The original characters Gabriel, Pascaline, and Floxel Volant belong to @lazyreinelle.
