hello there, my name is Tatiana Krum, but you can call me Tania. I'm 15 so that makes me a 5th year at Hogwarts, where I reside in Hufflepuff House. You could say I'm hard-working, patient, and loyal, but I personally think that I am kind, generous, and sporty. People say I look a lot like Ana Golja, but I don't really see it...

appearance:
Tatiana is 5’2” with an average—if not slightly athletic—build. She has dark brown hair and eyes, and her skin holds a slight tan. Her hair is fairly long, reaching about midway down her back, and she usually keeps it straightened. She also has a scar on her right elbow from a Quidditch fall.
In her school uniform and in her everyday clothing, Tania does enjoy looking girly, which usually means the addition of jewelry, although the only piercings she has are her earlobes. She gravitates towards brighter colors and favors skirts over pants.
The one exception to her sartorial choices is when she’s on the Quidditch pitch. She isn’t afraid to play rough, and she couldn’t care less about her appearance.

overall personality:
Tatiana Krum is the type of person who would easily be described as never having met a stranger. She is a kind soul and tries to treat everyone she meets with the same respect that she would like to receive from them, whether they are a school staff member or a fellow student. She also seeks to include those who might be feeling left out, lending a helping hand or a listening ear. She feels most at home when she is helping others, though helping the Hufflepuff Quidditch team to victory comes as a close second.
On the Quidditch pitch, don’t let Tania’s sweetness fool you: She inherited her parents’ Quidditch skills, and she is keen to put them to the test. As a Beater, she doesn’t go easy on the other teams during matches, although she remains a good sport about her wins and losses. She considers her Quidditch team to be an extension of her family, even though she knows that she could be playing against them professionally someday.
Aside from her cheerfulness, Tania has also suffered from anxiety since the start of the past school year and developed post-traumatic stress following the kidnappings in April of 2023. She doesn’t talk about it much—feeling as though she’s the only person who hasn’t been able to move on from the horrors—and even just the theoretical situations posed to her in her Defense Against the Dark Arts classes make her uncomfortable. Tania relies on Calming Draught to keep her panic attacks at bay and Potion for Dreamless Sleep to allow her to sleep without the intrusion of nightmares.

history:
Tatiana Krum was born on October 20, 2007, to Elena and Viktor Krum. The youngest of their four children, she was born and spent her early years in Vratsa, Bulgaria. There, Tania had a peaceful childhood, and, like her siblings before her, was taught to fly a broom from a very early age. Quidditch ran in her blood, so it was only expected that she would follow in her parents’ footsteps and play the sport, too.
When Tania was about eight years old, her mother was offered a position with the Department of Magical Games and Sports—in Britain. The Krums had been considering a move, anyway, because they didn’t want to send their children to Durmstrang, but it became official. They moved to a small town in North Yorkshire called Thirsk, and that became Tania’s new home. It wasn’t in Bulgaria, but she loved it all the same and eagerly awaited the day that she would go to school at Hogwarts.
She was the last of her siblings to start at Hogwarts, so she knew what to expect. It wasn’t a surprise to Tania when she was Sorted into Hufflepuff, either; her sister had been put into the same House in the previous year, and Tatiana couldn’t imagine herself anywhere but Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. She adjusted quickly to life at school, always remaining close to her siblings but branching out, too, to make friends with students in all of the other Houses. Her best subject was Herbology, although it wasn’t until her second year of school that Tania could truly allow herself to shine. The Quidditch pitch was better, she felt, than any classroom, and, even at twelve, she was able to prove herself with a Beater’s bat.
Her earliest years at Hogwarts were as perfect as Tatiana had imagined that they would be. She had friends, and she had also had a few crushes. The fact that all of those crushes had been on girls didn’t bother her, but she kept it from her parents. By her fourth year of school, however, the atmosphere around Hogwarts became much darker. No longer was it the safe haven that she had known; not only were politicians being killed, but students were, too. It frightened Tania, who sent her parents a flood of letters, begging to be pulled out of school. School wasn’t a place where people were supposed to worry about being killed, and especially not at Hogwarts, which had always been so welcoming to her. The kidnappings were, perhaps, the worst of all, and the first of April was the icing on the cake of horrors that Tania had had to suffer through. It was the first time that she had truly feared for her own life, and she has been filled with the same dread ever since.
Preparing to start her fifth year at Hogwarts, Tatiana has spent plenty of time locked in her bedroom, scared for what might happen when she boards the train to school. She might not be Muggle-born, but she is gay… and the daughter of the Viktor Krum. The one thing keeping her at Hogwarts is her Quidditch, and, without that, she isn’t sure what she would do.
