Nadya's grandmother (Oleksandra, wrinkly raisin pictured above), the family matriarch, had sacrificed her own firstborn daughter to gain the goddess' protection after she had to endure the Holodomor and WW2 in her youth. Binah Mokosh, in return, granted them a forest and a хата (Ukrainian rural homestead) far removed from society inside an impenetrable forcefield that slowed time and prevented death by normal means so long as the whole family stayed inside it.

Nadya lived in this woodland liminal space in the middle of nowhere with no one but her grandma, aunt and mom. She escaped as a teen after a lifetime of abuse from her grandma, particularly after she came out as gay. Afterwards, she fled home and became a goth tattooed Sathariel Morana-worshipping junkie party animal.
