anastasia has always felt like everything she did was never good enough. being the younger sister to drizella tremaine came with expectations and no matter how much she tried to be on par with her sister, she always fell short in their mother's eyes. she wasn't as clever or as cunning, she wasn't as demure, and she wasn't effortlessly perfect. she was her sister's shadow and while that drove her insane she loves her sister more than anyone on this earth. even when she is cruel and even when she is unfair, drizella is the most important person in her life.
saying she had daddy issues was an understatement. when their father was alive, anastasia felt like she had a chance in the world. she felt like she could be herself a little bit and even though she wasn't everything her mother wanted she could still make someone proud. and then he was dead and her mother was on to the next one and anastasia hadn't been the same since.
she could never understand why her mother just...didn't like her. it was something she realized early in life and once that was settled in her heart it was hard to see anything else. her mother only loved her when she didn't get in the way and so she did her best not to. of course in her younger years she did everything to change her mind. now? she just tries to not be even more of a disappointment.
back to the daddy issues; the only time she ever felt a connection with a father figure that wasn't her own flesh and blood was eleanora's father. instead of clinging to that and bettering herself she did was drizella did and treated him coldly and his daughter cruelly. when he was gone she mourned in her own way and kept the ice queen act on eleanora even though she knew it was wrong of her.
anastasia doesn't think she is a wicked person at her core. she always loved the idea of having friends who liked her for her, for allowing love into her life and just...living her life with kindness. however, she doesn't know the first thing about true compassion. she didn't know what a healthy loving anything was like and the one person she knew that understood all of that was eleanora and that made her even meaner to the woman in response. she was jealous, she was mad at the fact that she wasn't raised to be kind and it just made her nuts that no matter how mean she could be to her stepsister it didn't phase her.
her one escape from reality was fashion. she always loved looking good and feeling pretty. what she liked even more was drawing up her own creations that people would love and adore her for. she snuck away to perfect her craft when she had the time to do as such and nothing made her feel more alive then carefully stitching her ideas to life.
if anastasia could live the life she wanted, she would have her own clothing line, saving every penny so that she could retire early, fall in love, and have a lot of babies and be a stay at home mom. she wants to be a mother more than anything on this earth and she wants to give her future children everything she never had in her life. unconditional love, safety, warmth.
instead she is in evermore. sure, she is working at a job she loves and cares about more than anything but she is so unfulfilled. she has crafted the snarky, vapid, mean girl persona so well that she wonders if that is all she will ever be able to show. she is still dropping everything for drizella. she is still fearing her mother's disapproval even though she knows it is inevitable. she feels trapped in her situation and just wants to know when she is going to be able to get her turn to express herself the way she wants to.
she is as unlucky in love as can be. she comes on too strong or she turns guys away because she is scared that they will not be good enough in her families eyes. she just wants to be loved. she doesn't understand why she isn't lovable.
social media is her life line. she loves to spend hours on her phone and rot in her bed as she pretends she is living the lives of all these influencers with a better path than hers. image is also everything in the tremaine household so she makes sure she is smiling in every picture she posts, even when she has tears in her eyes due to the scrutinizing she gives herself from her lack of self-esteem.
anastasia is actually not good at reading. she never really had to be book smart and while she has interest, she never could get lost in a story and struggled with reading words in the right sequence. most of her social captions are copy and pasted off of a quick google search.
designing aside, she really doesn't have many talents. she is awful at sports, she can't sing for shit, and she always tends to come off like she's trying so hard because...she is. her only other hidden talent is the flute. the one instrument that she practiced until her fingers cramped so that she could come off as graceful.
nothing brings her peace faster than a delicious baked good. her sweet tooth is both beloved and hated. she feels judged with every bite but at least each bite is a bite from the heavens itself.
she HATES the sound of her laugh more than anything. the way she presents herself is somewhat decent thanks to the years of building her walls and perfecting her craft and it all falls to shit within seconds by her horse laugh. she honestly just tries to not laugh or show much emotion at all because her mother has convinced her it was unattractive.
in another cruel twist of fate she is highly allergic to roses. the most romantic flower of all time. the cruelest irony.
all in all she wants life to work itself out for her instead of her putting in the work to just be a good person. she has the foundations of being a decent person in her mind and instead of trying she hides in fear of judgement.
