And you know, that's not her maiden name, it's her patrynomic name. I read somewhere that most Russians are introduced by two names, so that's what that is. Like the second name telling people who her father was. I never actually gave Alexi a maiden name for this exact reason :]
Maru is 18 and has just returned home from a recent ship off to Russia. I'd love it if they were pretty close. Someone to tell her secrets to, other than Svetty, Roman's sister.
