Tatiana's Stats and Characteristics

[Tasha_R]

As I just did in Marie's and Anastasia's threads, this topic is to assist those who would like to be able to picture the Grand Duchesses in full color and demeanor:

Name: Tatiana Nicholaievna Romanova
Date of birth:    May 29 / June 10, 1897
Eye color: deep grey
Hair color: dark brown/auburn
Nickname: the governess, Tanya
Name day: January 12

Other things we could add, of course, would be things like favorite gem, favorite perfume scent, etc.

Please note: Robert Massie describes it as auburn.  "Auburn" is technically a color which includes some red in it - some see it more as a red, others see it more as a brown with some red in it.

You mean 1897, right? Sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, I just don't want you catching grief from anyone else...

ARG!  What an awful typo.  Yes, 1897.  I do that a lot.  I'll type in one girl's birthyear while thinking/writing about another one!

i thought her hair was dark brown, not auburn?

It was dark brown.

The problem with that is some people say it was dark brown, others auburn!  It seems like she had auburn hair as a child but it darkened to brown when she got older.  That's the impression I get too.  It's the same with Anastasia and Maria, lots of conflict with their hair color and eye color too.

Alix had reddish-brown hair...so probably from her mother.

I think Tatiana had Jasmine perfume.

I believe she was about 5' 7", wasn't she? The tallest of the girls? Was she also referred to as Tatya?

Seeing as MN was around 5'6"-5'7" I'd say TN was about 5'8" or even 5'9".  I think she was also called Tatya/Tatia.

I do not think she was called Tatia. It is something VERY rare. Do you know some document with that name? I nerver heard that.

I think I read it SOMEWHERE, but mostly I've just seen 'Tanya'.
