Tatiana Dmitrievna Romanova (née Petrenka) (born 13 January 1949) was a Russian witch born to Muggles Dmitri Petrenko and his wife, Natasha; she is also the elder sister of Artiom Petrenko. Her father was arrested and sent to a Siberian gulag in 1951 and Tatiana's family fled the country with the help of Russia's magical government. Tatiana grew up in Romania and attended the Carpathian School of Magic from 1958 to 1968, where she met her future husband, Viktor Romanov, the grandson of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanova, the sole survivor of her family's massacre.
