Ksyusha Yakovlev
RL-Kristina PimenovaKristina was born in 2005 in the souther city of Rakalin. Her mother was the youngest daughter of a minor noble and her father a Naval Officer. She grew up on the family estate with two older brothers. She was an exceptionally quiet girl and would spend her days sat in her room colouring and painting. She was encouraged to read a lot with the Yakovlev family having "Book Club" every evening when together, where the family would gather in the lounge and read books for an hour. By the age of 11 she was obsessed with the Narnia books and began writing her own stories in the Narnia universe.
In 2016 she began study at the Rakalin Academy for Girls and her teachers described her as a book worm. She would spend breaks and lunchtimes in the library reading various books. She naturally as a result did well in school but she struggled to make friends.
By the time she was 13 she had become to be recognised as a pretty girl and her mother tried to get her involved in beauty pagents and modelling. She did three competitions, coming 2nd twice and winning one before convincing her mother that she didn't want to do them. Meanwhile she also succeeded in helping Rakalin Academy for Girls win her age groups Academic Challenge (annual competition that is a combination of a quiz and essay writing) competition in 2018 and 2019.
In 2023 she graduated from the Academy with straight A grades and had intended to go to University to study History and Literature however she was then approached to join the Royal Preparation Academy and gladly accepted as she believed it would give her access to world class lecturers. In addition to studying International Leadership Studies she is also studying Literature.
