Nadia Volkovich

About

Precision threads through every aspect of Nadia's existence: her meticulously curated doll collection, her surgical-clean crime scenes, her calculated movements that never waste a single motion. Behind her porcelain smile lies a predator who sees human interactions as intricate puzzles to be solved and controlled, with each victim another piece perfectly positioned in her grand design.

Backstory

Three sisters vanished from the Meadowgrove Conservatory before anyone noticed the pattern—each one a promising violinist, each one found clutching a handmade doll. Clara Volkovich, the conservatory's beloved seamstress and doll-maker, had been feeding her daughter Nadia a carefully crafted lie: that music drew evil spirits, and only her special dolls could trap them safely inside. When eight-year-old Nadia discovered her mother's workshop filled with newspaper clippings about the missing girls, Clara chose to burn the antique shop rather than face exposure, perishing in flames she set herself. Theodore returned to find his wife dead and his daughter clutching the terrible truth—that the lullabies Clara hummed while sewing weren't innocent melodies, but hunting songs Nadia had inherited along with her mother's scissors and her insatiable need to silence the music.
