We welcome Anastasia Romanov to the city. Sheâs 24 years old and is a socialite. Ana is often mistaken for Emilia Clarke, Elizabeth Gillies or Natalia Dyer. Sheâs taken.
â Background Information
The Romanov family are descendants of the Romanov Royal family who ruled over Russia for many years. But now, Anastasia is the only surviving Romanov. The Romanovâs were a well loved celebrity family in Russia, best known for their reality TV series. The younger members of the family were kept off camera until they were 18 to save them from the cruelty of fame. When Ana was 16, she was sat away to a boarding school in the remote Russian country side. Little did she know that while she was away, her family home was attacked and her family were murdered. She had been expecting to leave when she was 18, but the school kept her there instead until she was 21. Anastasia found out about her family upon leaving. It took a couple of months of worth before Ana was granted access to her family funds. But she got there eventually.
Anastasia is currently living alone. When first moving to the city, Dimitri tried to insist that she share a place with him. However she refused. She lives on the outskirts of the city, so that she can spend some time in the countryside surrounding everyone. It brings her great peace to be there. It helps keep her grounded. Anaâs home is filled with pictures from her travels. At every opportunity, Ana takes trips out of the city. She prides herself on spending the holidays in a different place every year.
â Relocation Explanation
It wasnât until her older years that she was really exposed to the real world. It was then that Anastasia realized, not everyone loved her family. The Romanovâs may have been a well-loved celebrity family, but they were also greatly detested. The moment she turned eighteen, Anastasia spent all of her time trying to change how the haters saw her family. Nothing could be done though. So, Ana did what some saw as the cowardly way out. She found the most remote, most random place city and moved there.
While Anastasia comes from a well off family, she doesnât act spoilt in the slightest. Her time in boarding school made her an incredibly grounded person. Unlike some socialites, she enjoys the company of those who have normal jobs and live normal lives. Vapid is a word youâd never use to describe her. Ana is also extremely charitable, and goes out of her way to help as many people as she can and as regularly as she can. She likes using her popularity and fame for the good. If thereâs anything she enjoys, itâs highlighting and tackling issues such as inequality and injustice.
Empathetic, smart, resourceful, caring
Sarcastic, stubborn, impulsive, irrational
Dimitri Ivanov (Love Interest): Ana and Dimitri met in the couple of months after Ana first left her boarding school. She was very stripped for cash at the time and very distressed. Dimitri was kind from the get-go (despite having bad intentions to begin with) and Anaâs always remembered that.
Vladimir Vasilovich (Close Friend): A genuinely kind soul, Anastasia immediately felt safe around Vladimir. His history of working with the Romanovâs makes Ana feel like she was in the company of family.
Grigori Rasputin (Enemy): Grigori is the name most thrown around when discussing the deaths of the Romanov family. Most theories point to him being behind the murders. Ana canât think of any reason to not keep them in mind.
Robert Haddock (Friend): With a soft spot for animals, Anastasia often spends time out in the woodland bordering in the city. It is during these trips out that sheâll spend time talking with Robert about the animals.
Vanessa Bloome (Friend): Anastasia enjoys having fresh flowers around the home, so is regularly contacting florist Vanessa. Theyâre both friendly people so might find it easy to get along. Plus, the more friends outside the socialite world for Ana, the better.Â
Anastasia is based on Anastasia from Anastasia.
