Opere/Tanya/Emi
Name: Opere (Harukor)/Tat'yana "Tanya" Kirillovna Medvedeva/Yamasaki Emi
(Like Itakshir, the official name on her passport and other forms is Emi Yamasaki. Unlike him, though, she is smart enough to call herself by her Japanese name around Westerners, and her Russian name around Asians. She knows that if, for example, she introduced herself to a Japanese person as 'Emi', they would be able to tell right away that she is not really Japanese. However, if she introduces herself as 'Tanya', they would not know the difference between her and an actual Russian person. Typically, it works the other way around, too. Historically, this reflects how the Russians thought the Ainu were Asian, and the Japanese thought that they were Caucasian.)
Representing: Shikotan Island, Russia
Age: ~18
Ethnicity: Ainu
Religion: Russian Orthodox
Occupation: Fish Factory Worker
Residence: Kommunalki
Education: None, but naturally pretty clever.
