the first week in nyc, she found an old woman’s apartment she didn’t particularly hate & convinced her she was a distant niece of hers. her skill & the woman’s obvious loneliness worked in her favor — now bridget’s apartment is kind of her safe house. she goes there for a warm, home-cooked meal or just to lay low for a while.
the russian accent’s never really worn off but it’s mostly because of her laziness. she’s quite good at faking accents, however, & usually will resolve to a dublin accent when working with groups she doesn’t know / can’t trust — makes it harder to track her down in case shit goes bad.
for the same reason she tends to change her appearance a lot when staying in one place for too long. hair color / cut, general clothing, etc — it’s quite amusing seeing detectives trying to figure out exactly how many people she is.
she’s got a thing for hello kitty, for some reason: owns more than a few accessories with the kitten’s face, some shirts, too. ‘kitty’ is also a favorite alias of hers, & a nickname she’s partial to.
she’ll steal anything with a leopard print. literally anything. it’s hers.ù
( actually she’ll steal anything, & most of the time it’s just for fun, doesn’t even truly give a shit about it ).
katja has absolutely the worst musical taste ever. russian pop is the only kind of music she’ll ever listen to ( though she’ll dance to pretty much anything ).
she’s had recurring roles on a couple major american tv shows as of now, though she hasn’t made a big break yet. she’s been rumored to have been the cause of a fan-favorite show shutting down production, too: no statement has ever been issued from her part, but that might be ‘cause nobody could find a fucking way to get in touch with her.
she’s... really into cars & motorcycles. cars, mostly, & is a damn good getaway driver for the right price.
doesn’t really own a place for herself — she’s got a couple safehouses ( one in alaska, one in cuba ) should missions require a place to lay low, but mostly she gets by breaking into empty apartments & using people’s shit without too much care. if you find your favorite shampoo suddenly down by half after coming back from a weekend in the hamptons — chances are katja’s paid you a visit.
adores cats but can’t connect with dogs: will literally bark back at any dog on her way, but cats ? she’s gonna steal all of ‘em.
knows quite a lot about literature, russian especially — has a pushkin poem for every occasion, though most of the time it just sounds random as hell.
has never worn any kind of shoe that wasn’t stiletto heels ever since she’s set foot in new york — she’ll run in them, jump in them, slit your throat with them. she’s resourceful.
identifies as pansexual but doesn’t particularly care about sex. she feels attraction, obviously, but generally thinks sex is overrated & not at all fun like, say, assassinating a government agent with your s.o.
absolutely slays at poker. will leave you a beggar if you let her.
really fucking hates needles & the concept of needles — thought about getting a tattoo once or twice but they just freak her out entirely too much.
