Matryoshka was a kind woman, and raised Al;exi after his family was killed in the dishonorable Polar Bear Invasion of the 1980s. She talked very softly and always kept a warm and safe home. She also was an excellent shot and kept a loaded Kalashnikov handy at all times. She was a talented chef and always had bread baking or soup on the stove. Her entire village knew her kindness, and for those less fortunate than her, she would often hand-knit clothes and feed. She was a fan of nesting dolls and could even be considered a collector. She was a loving person, and nobody that knew her could even fathom anything bad being said about her, to her face or behind her back.
She was also a bloodthirsty killer with no qualms about taking human life. Her favorite hobby, however, was hunting polar bears.
