Character: Anastasia "Anya" Nikolaevna Romanova Canon: Anastasia Essence: Vasilissa | Vasilissa the Beautiful Brief Personality: Vlad put it quite nicely: “I see an engaging and fiery young woman who on a number of occasions has shown a regal command equal to any royal in the world!”
Anya's a bit of a sarcastic pain in the ass, but a great friend to have. She's a passionate character with a quick wit, a bit of a temper, and a massive heart.
Appearance: Long red hair, a fair complexion, big eyes, and thick eyebrows. I've filled in some of this info on my Character Info Sheet here if you wanna have a looksie! Abilities: Something interesting I learned on my recent re-watch of the movie is that Anya is a bit of a seamstress! She took the dress Dimitri bought her and altered it. She also made a few changes to her end-of-movie-dress after it got damaged in the Final Battle to better suit her elopement. That's a canon ability worth noting.
Her Essence has granted her some interesting skills: · Much like Vasilissa, Anya now has a pocket-sized wooden doll that comes to life under certain conditions. To start, it can perform one small task or give a single piece of advice each time it comes to life. · Slight resistance to offensive magics, especially fire. · Is now skilled at weaving very, very fine flax that can be made into a thread that is able to lead her to certain destinations. Nowhere too far yet.
Currently: Anya and her dog, Pooka, are settling in. Anya is pissed at the fact that she can't live out the dream life she was set to live out before this, but she's distracting herself with her newfound abilities. It's actually pretty intriguing for her, at least. She'll be found at the library a lot right now though, sifting through easy books with short stories. She figures she should learn how to spell and strengthen her reading skills in a world like this. [ Note: that last bit is laced with some headcanon. She was in a Russian orphanage for most of her life - from 1916 to 1926 - and it's highly unlikely she received quality education after being separated from her family. ] Future Ideas: I want her to grow in every way possible! I'll want her to first start making friends, learn more about this world, and set goals for herself. I'd like to see her go far with her strengths and improve on her weaknesses. She's a sentimental sap and will be going through a pretty rough adjustment period, but she'll come out of it fairly quickly and learn how to deal with the situation she finds herself in. Shipping: Nada! She got married, son.
Housing/Business:
Location: In the woods.
What does it look like?: A small cottage with a fireplace that can be seen when the entrance is open.
Extra Fun Things: The entrance has a small bridge that leads up to it. Vasilissa got lost in the woods, and I think having a very obvious path like that can contribute to the theme of literally being lost with no direction. So there's a teeny-tiny bit of still, shallow water that circles the house. Nothing fancy though.
Business: No plans yet!
Seeking: Friendship, mostly! Bonus points if there is a sibling dynamic. Offering: A little shit who loves you and has an odd way of showing it. Not Interested In: For the first little while, I'd like to steer clear of negative CR. Just for now!! She is going through an adjustment period and I'd like for her to be able to ease into coming to terms with this world. That's not to say I want no negative CR though - I think that could be fun and necessary :{D huehue
