'''Dasha Duzran''' was a high-ranking official working for [[The Twelve]]. She indoctrinated [[Villanelle]] into the world of hired killers and mentored her throughout her life.
== Background ==
 
Dasha was born and grew up in Russia and remains fond of the country to this day. In 1974, she committed what is believed to be her first murder. Her coach scolded her for screwing up her landing after training on the bars. Afterward, her boyfriend surprised him with flowers in the dressing room and told her she was still a winner to him. She briefly kissed him before biting his lip and then violently attacking him. She proceeded to beat him to death and poured chalk powder onto his face afterward. This prolific kill possibly led to her being recruited to join The Twelve's ranks, where she personally taught [[Villanelle]] the ropes of assassination as she saw a great future for her in the field.

Dasha was born and raised in Russia, and her patriotic fervour for the Motherland persists to this day. As a teenager, she had a singular talent at gymnastics. Driven to rage by her coach's constant criticism, she beat her boyfriend to death in the locker room and covered his face in chalk. She was quickly hired by The Twelve as an assassin, renowned for her textbook precision, where she was responsible for training recruits like [[Villanelle]]. She took pride in having moulded the young girl into a perfect killing machine. Until she killed one of her own superior gents, she was a top KGB agent.
No longer actively killing for The Twelve and her successful gymnastics career but a memory of the past, Dasha sought to be allowed by The Twelve to return to Russia. She saw an opportunity by recruiting Villanelle back to the organization as they were having a hard time replacing her. Having monitored her since Rome, she tracked Villanelle down and interrupted her wedding to Maria. Villanelle attacked her, disrupting the party, though she soon calmed down and they left the estate together. They went back to Dasha's Barcelona apartment where Dasha revealed her intentions to Villanelle. Villanelle said she'd agree to return to the organization as a Keeper, a position so high that Dasha couldn't help but mock her. Villanelle got violent again to get Dasha to call her Villanelle instead of Oksana.

After Dasha dismissed the girls, she told Villanelle The Twelve were interested in having her back and granting her full benefits, including a big welcome-home bonus, if she succeeded in proving herself by executing a kill in Girona. Villanelle was hesitant so Dasha urged her to make the kill as creative as they were used to from her. She credited herself for some creative kills that were still studied and taught within The Twelve. Villanelle scoffed and said her kills were better than Dasha's.
