H E I G H TXANDXB U I L D: 5â6â and slender.
Danika Orlov is a woman of grace and sophistication. There is hardly any moment in which you will not see her dressed up to the nines or looking the best she can. Part of being a socialite and under the watchful eye of many, is that at any moment someone could be trying to get her at her worst, but Danika rarely lets that happen.
When she was younger, she despised wearing dresses unless it was for skating. She could not stand it, but slowly she learned the ways of coming from wealth from her grandmother. If she wanted to gain the attention and hold said attention the best way was in a perfectly hand crafted outfit. This typically meant wearing dresses and heels from various designers across the globe.
Danika herself is slightly about average height, standing at five foot six. She has a slender build which has aided her in her athletic career, but she doesnât offer a lot of curves. Her limbs are long, but her muscles are toned from all the training she has done in her life.
She has dirty blonde hair that falls down in loose waves resting in the middle of her shoulder blade. That is when she has it in a natural state, Nika is known to have her hair professionally done or done by herself and she goes through various routines to keep both her skin and hair in good shape.
One of her standout features is how small her nose is and how slim her face gets. Not to mention the freckle by her eye, it would be hard to mistake her for anyone else.
Not many people know this, but Danika does have a couple tattoos, but she only has them in places that are typically covered by clothing.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:
Danika usually has one of two impressions on people. The first one is that she is charming and incredibly charismatic in the way that everyone feels as though theyâre friends with her. Danika makes a point of being well known in the socialite world, but not only to have favours owed to her when she needs them, but to gain other peopleâs secrets. Danika trades things for knowledge, and she may not be proud of everything sheâs traded for said knowledge, but she has the ammo she needs. Everyone has a secret and Danika is keen on finding out those said secrets.
The other impression that she gives off is the cold and aloof one. Danika doesnât actually like many people, or more so she wants to, but she keeps her distance. She is very often in the background listening even if you think she isnât. Danika has been good at not interacting with people at times because most people bore her and most secrets that she finds out are rather boring.
The thing with Nika is that she deeply does want to love and take care of people, but people donât usually want the same things. People are cruel, callous, manipulative, and monsters. She has a hard time trusting people and their intentions because of her past, and sure she shouldnât base it off of past experiences, but after the revolution it further solidified her hunch on society.
Danika although not trusting most people. She can trust herself and how stupid people are sometimes. She can easily talk her way out of any situation.
F E A R S:
Danika has several fears and one of those is held deep within herself that she doesnât really admit and tries to work through a lot, but she is afraid of men to an extent. They are completely irrational and unpredictable at times and after her past sheâs not keen on them. She is hugely afraid of her step father in particular and hates being near him. She has thought of so many ways she could try to get rid of him. Something less serious is that Nika has a fear of thunderstorms, but she hates to admit it and tries not to show it.

(TW: Mention of multiple forms of abuse (subtly), death and illness in this bio.)
Danika was born as the eldest daughter in the Orlov family. The family comes from a line of politicians, socialites, debutantes, athletes and much more. For as far back as the history goes money has never been a real issue and to most people looking there would be the perception that she was fed with a silver spoon and everything was handed to her. Danika will admit that she has been privileged to have no financial burdens and can be relatively humble.
As soon as she could learn to walk her parents Anna and Zayne were assessing what kind of sport she may be into along with various other skill sets. The couple never wanted their children to be without the knowledge to overcome any situation they were in, and quite honestly Danika never felt that her life was abnormal. .
It was soon found that Danikaâs passion and skill best suited figure skating. Immediately they spent money on her skates, outfits and the best coaches they could gain. This was easy for them to throw all the money into their child in hopes she would become an Olympian like some of their other family members.
At the age of seven years old, Danikaâs younger sister Victoria was born. Danika hated having a little sister at first and was cold towards her. Danika only focused on her studies and her skating. There wasnât a whole lot else she was even allowed to work towards, but from time to time she was a fan of books and would sneak in Harry Potter novels or Alice in Wonderland.
Her father Zayne had passed away due to kidney cancer. His battle was a long journey, but it at its end sooner than the Orlov family would have thought. Danika was only eight years old at the time and her mother became very distraught. This meant that Danika was now in charge of her sister and making sure everything went right because their mother had gone completely absent for years.
Danika always made sure Victoria was clean, fed, and had a warm place to sleep. It wasnât long before she was reading her books to Victoria. When Danika was eleven years old, her mother slowly came back around, but wasnât quite the same, that was when their grandmother came into their lives full time. She was there to watch after both girls and make sure Anna got the help and recovery she needed.
Her grandmother was Nikaâs favourite person. They baked together and got ready for her figure skating competitions. It almost helped her forget the absence of her father, but apparently her mother chose to fill that void with another man, Patrick.
From day one Danika despised Patrick and refused to be nice to him unless she had to keep up appearances. It was her grandmother who taught her how to be in the socialite life and it really helped her grow confidence, which seeped into her competitive side in skating.
At the age of thirteen, Patrick became her step dad, or as she always called him, a step monster. She watched the way he stared creepily at women and girls in general, and there was something in her gut that told her he just wasnât right. To make matters worse in the same year her grandmother passed, so it was just her and Victoria to take care of each other.
She was fifteen when the next tragedy in her life came about. The one thing she felt about Patrick ended up being true. Her mother was out late running errands and her sister was doing harp lessons. It was just the two of them home and he had cornered her. A variety of situations occurred that night, and they were ones that tore Danika down. It made her have a lack of trust in most people and it was when she decided the world was an awfully ugly place.
From there Danika did her best to finish her studies early by being home schooled by tutors. She got her high school diploma early and this led for full time training. Danika was seventeen when she moved out to be at one of the most prestigious training camps that ended up aiding her to achieving the life long goal of her father. She had secured a spot in the Olympics at the age of 19. She did not place as a medalist but she did get in fourth place for the short program.
It was from then that she decided to take a break and go to university. She got her bachelor of arts with a major in political science and a minor in Public Relations. Danika eventually went home to take care of her mother who was sick. She was not in well enough shape to take care of her business, but she only trusted it to her eldest daughter Danika, it was what Zayne would have wanted.
During the revolution Danikaâs big hope was to help others through who needed a safe place or needed to escape. Near the end of the revolution it became apparent the rich were to lose their wealth and thatâs when her step father fled with her mother..
