Georgina Dymov

Madame Georgina Dymov, is a supporting character in The Great. She is a member of Peter III's court as his lover and confidant. She and her husband, Master Grigor Dymov are Peter III's closest friends in court.

Appearance
Georgina is beautiful, with prominent cheek bones and a rather sharp jaw. She has green eyes, and dark brown hair. Her lips are full and often painted red with rouge. She has rosy cheeks - which, like her lips, are the product of artifice rather than a true blush. She tends not to wear as much cosmetics as the other ladies of court, eschewing the stark white face powder, for one that seems closer to her natural skin tone. At formal events she will wear a beauty mark, as was the custom at the time. She seems to favor gold jewelry and shades of red in her gowns.

Personality
Georgina is a shrewd pragmatist. She understands her status and role as a woman in the court of Peter III, and is a skilled player in court. She is willing to use sex and her charms to ensure her survival and continued position in court. She is one of the first people in court to be civil to the newly married Catherine II, though this seems to stem from practicality, and respect for Catherine's position as Empress, and wife to her lover, rather than from true affection. She is kind enough to give Catherine small pieces of advice occasionally to help her survive in the Peter III's court. Her voice is respected amongst the ladies of court, sometimes even more so than the influential Lady Svenska's.
