1. Mundane Name: Tina Telesco
2. Mundane Job: Admin Assistant/Exec. Sec/office mommy
3. Persona name: Ekaterina Volkova (aka Ekat)
4. How did you come up with your name? Started out as Kateraina Wolchetsa (basically Romainian for Catherine Wolf’s Daughter) but it got bounced hard core by the Heralds. By that time I changed from Romainian to Cossack and changed it to Russian and that’s what passed. I picked the first name because I liked it and was going to go by Katja. Last name… well I’m a wolf. Ekat came about as a nickname because when I finally picked a name, Katja Davidova Orlova had just joined the barony so the proper nickname would have not worked. Honnoria started calling me Ekat and it stuck
