Having a sibling or three really like….gave you interpersonal skills and moral exercises from an early age that people who were only children had to learn later on, because nothing makes your brain work overtime than having a ride or die relationship with someone who you would suplex through the dining room table in a second if they touched your shit, but you’d also stand up and take the blame for some shit if you knew it wasn’t their fault or stepping in and swinging if they were being bullied by someone else

Also gives you a keenly honed ability to lie, wide-eyed and plausibly and at the drop of a hat, because you definitely had Nothing To Do With This Situation, How Could You Even Think This Of Me, Papá

“In 1910, fourteen-year-old Olga persuaded ten-year-old Maria to write their mother a letter asking that Olga be given her own room and be allowed to let down her dresses. Maria tried to persuade her mother that it was her own idea to write the letter.”

30 DAY ROMANOV CHALLENGE - FAVOURITE GRAND DUCHESS OR PRINCESS| Day 1

Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia (O.S.) 3 November 1895 - 17 July 1918 (N.S.) was the daughter of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia and Princess Alix of Hesse.

“Olga was always described as the most intelligent and studious of the imperial siblings, but at the same time the most prone to self analysis, even melancholy. Much like her father, Olga enjoyed taking long walks in the parks of Tsarskoe Selo. She often said that she would someday live in a small village because she liked nature so much more than the city. As Olga grew older…she became an even more voracious reader of books: the classics: the history of Russia and works detailing the lives of the peasants, ancient traditions, customs, laws, and geography of her national. She had an extraordinary memory. Along with her siblings, Olga had a keen interest in the lives and problems of others. It was she who once noticed a disabled girl in one of the keeper’s cottages in the park at Tsarskoe Selo and insisted on becoming the child’s ‘patron’. She made arrangements for the child to be to a hospital, and planned on paying for her own care out of her own allowance.” – ‘The Diary of Olga Romanov: Royal Witness to the Revolution’ by Helen Azar

“God will make it so everything is somehow resolved and subsided. They say that nothing good or happy goes on for very long, or rather does not last, but in my opinion the same is true for the bad, it should also all end sometime, right?”

Olga Nikolaevna Romanova, 21 December, 1917. (trans. Helen Azar)

“Olga Nikolaevna was very straightforward, sometimes too outspoken, but always sincere. She had great charm, and could be the merriest of the merry. When she was a schoolgirl, her unfortunate teachers had every possible practical joke played on them by her. When she grew up, she was always ready for any amusement. She was generous, and an appeal to her met with immediate response. “Oh, one must help poor so-and-so. I must do it somehow,” she would say. Her more careful sister, Tatiana, would suggest practical measures, would note names and details, and come back to the subject later out of a sense of duty.Olga Nikolaevna was devoted to her father. The horror of the Revolution told on her more keenly than on any of the others. She changed completely, and all her bright spirits disappeared. – ‘The Life and Tragedy of Alexandra Feodorovna’ by Sophie Buxhoeveden
