A very beautiful woman who, after having her pride crushed and being betrayed at a young age, settled in the city as the 'kept woman' of the town's elderly and bedridden merchant, Samsonov, subsequently turning into a ruthless gold-digger in her business life. Behind her innocent, angelic face lies a terribly calculating, cheerful, and capricious person who is nonetheless manipulative enough to lead both Fyodor and Dmitri to ruin simultaneously. In the depths of her heart, she actually plays cat-and-mouse with other men while nursing the wound/dream that her first lover (the officer) will return to her.
About five years ago, she was abandoned after being betrayed and deceived by the military man she loved. Later, she accrued wealth in the hands of an old man who was the city's most powerful rich person, holding the rank of a 'fallen woman,' but she was not like a prostitute; on the contrary, she learned the art of bringing people to their knees through her own intellect, both in reputation and financially.
Twenty-two years old, full-figured, with a milk-white neck and a round, beautiful face. A babyish, childlike purity shines in her dark, leaden blue eyes. Her thick lower lip and lush chestnut hair are her most attractive physical features.
Fyodor Pavloviç
An old corpse whom she keeps occupied due to his wealth and from whom she expects to extract 3,000 rubles despite his marriage promises.
Dmitri Fyodoroviç
A passionate rake whose money she has consumed and whose pride she has played with, yet she keeps the possibility of running to him rather than his father in play.
Katerina İvanovna
The noble lady whom she visits and provokes with acts just because she is disgusted by her bourgeois pride.
Alyoşa Fyodoroviç
The young man whom she tries to lure into a sexual game like the others, yet whose childlike nature and purity make her sense a surprising tenderness.
