Pugacheva Nataliya

Natalya Yakovlevna Pugachova is the lead singer and heart of the sensation known throughout Raeltir as The Buranovo Grannies. At the ripe age of seventy-seven, she is the oldest member of the group, though that doesn't mean that she is frail by any sense of the word. Born Pugacheva Nataliya, her name was changed to Natalya Yakovlevna Pugachova when she reached the age of seventy-six, a time honoured tradition in Ud. The age of seventy-six, which means that a person has lived more than three quarters of a century, is well respected within Ud, and leads to the gaining of a middle name. Whilst referred to by her surname Nataliya since the age of fifty as a sign of respect, reaching the age of seventy-six lead to her names being flipped, and the addition of a middle name. She is so aged that her first and last name were altered slightly, which is another Ud tradition. Yakovlevna means, "Heartful and Spirited," which describes Natalya Yakovlevna well.

Natalya Yakovlevna attended school for one year only, after an attack from The North destroyed the Buranovo Church and the school, she was unable to continue her education. She worked on the Ud Kolkhoz her entire life, which was the collective farming industry of Ud. Natalya went on to have four children, whom spawned three grandsons and six great grandsons.

Natalya Yakovlevna is known to posess a great sense of humour and hasn't been spotted without a smile upon her face. She gained the title Yakovlevna due to the fact that, despite her small stature, (being by far the shortest of the group,) she has a great heart and spirit, which sets her apart from all others.
