For Sephiroth, I used the reference of a warlike Cossack because Sephiroth looks good without a shirt.
He also wears a hetman's hat, because feathers… feathers suit him💕

'Lo, there, somewhere near black waters
A young cossack mounts his horse.
Sadly he parts with his girl,
But even more sadly with Ukraine'.
Hej Sokoły - Polish/Ukrainian folk song
As a result of today's russian massive attack, near 20 dead and 132 wounded are known. The number of victims continues to rise. It is hard to believe that this story has been going on for centuries...

another cool historical fact
George Washington had an audience with the Ukrainian explorer Yuriy Lysiansky, who was a descendant of the Zaporozhian Cossack (it's a region where I live). George Washington asked a lot about Ukrainians and Cossacks. Yuriy Lysiansky wrote that this meeting had been one of the warmest of his life.

Taking history notes today and the textbook describes Yemelyan Pugachev as a Russian who started a rebellion against his empire. Despite the fact that he was a Cossack leading a rebellion of mostly non ethnically Russian peoples against the colonial empire that was crushing them.
Was he Russian in the sense of living on land that was controlled by the Russian empire? Yes, but calling him Russian without talking about the history of his actual ethnic identity as a Cossack and Russia’s history of violent erasure of that ethnic group and many others, just keeps perpetuating the ignorance surrounding the actual history of that colonial empire and all the peoples who suffered and continue to suffer for it.
American history textbooks continue to disappoint me.
