okay so i’m sort of a silent reader of all your fics BUT i saw the new posts about katya and im SO interested! could you share some of the lore behind her? is she adopted by natasha?
EEEE !!! i am so glad to hear that you’re interested in her !!!! and i am even more glad you asked this because it gives me a reason to talk about her !!!
katya actually isn’t adopted by natasha! she’s her biological daughter!
i explain it more better in the prologue but, a very basic explanation as to how she came to be is, katya was made by the red room after natasha joined shield. she was specifically chosen out of all of the other eggs that were harvested before natasha’s hysterectomy because she was a perfect split between natasha’s dna, and bucky’s dna (because his dna was used to fertilize the eggs before freezing them so they didn’t die).
she’s very very favorited by the red room because by their standards, she’s genetically perfect. she’s the perfect solider, the perfect widow, etc.
she genuinely believes that she is better than everybody else and is extremely mean to the people she views as “weaker” and “less than her”.
specifically bucky. she’s really really mean to him, but she has reasons for why she’s mean to him in the way she is that’ll be explained later 😋
