Someone holds me safe and warm,

Figures dancing gracefully,

apperance;; Anya has grown up in a very poor, Russian orphanage, so she did not get very many nice clothes, if any at all. Now that she is out of the orphanage, she just has the pitiful, brown dress on her back. She always wears the dress, black stockings, brown shoes, a blue beret and a large green, overcoat. Her skin is slightly pale since she stays inside most of the time. Her hair is a bright red color that goes down to the middle of her back, but it is usually up in a ponytail, so it looks much shorter. Anya's eyes are a piercing blue. Lastly, she stands at about five foot, four inches and weighs around 125 pounds.
personality;; Anya has a lot of spunk. She really doesn't like to be told what to do and she has grown used to having to take care of herself. The owner of the orphanage never liked her, particularly because of her stubbornness. When she has her might set on something, she will make sure that she attains that goal no matter what. Anya has only an incredibly vague memory of her childhood before the orphanage and her goal is to find out where she came from and who she is. She wants to find a place where she can call home with people that love her.
She has carried a necklace around her neck for as long as she can remember and it is the only clue that she has as to who she really is. Anya has a very soft heart. When it comes to helping people, particularly elderly people or even animals, she will do whatever she can to giver her assistance. This can be a bit dangerous because she can easily be tricked by a poor woman on the side of the road needing help.
family;; The Dowager Empress Marie Romanov - grandmother
history;;Anya was born Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova to the Tsar and Tsarina of Russia. She led a very happy childhood, surrounded by family and governesses, who made sure that she was always happy and content. As she was of royal blood, she did not attend public school, but she was instead tutored by her governesses inside the palace. Every so often, the family would go visit the Grand Duchess in St. Petersburg with whom Anastasia had a very close relationship.
Her perfect world came crashing down when the Tsar's advisor, Rasputin, attacked the grand ball and threatened to never sleep until the whole Romanov family was destroyed. He had sold his soul to the devil and was gifted with a monstrous power with which he cursed the entire Romanov family. The whole family was destroyed save for Anastasia and her grandmother. They escaped thanks to a young servant boy, but were soon separated. Anastasia fell and hit her head, causing her to lose her memory.
She was found and sent to an orphanage where she spent the next ten years of her life. When she was 18, she was released from the orphanage and sent on her way. Instead of going to her job at the fish market, like the orphanage owner told her to, she went to St. Petersburg. This is where she ran into Dimitri and Vladmir, two con artists that wanted to get the reward that the grand duchess was giving away to find her granddaughter. The two con artists convinced her that she very well might be the missing duchess.
Far away, long ago
things I yearn to remember
and a song someone sings
Once upon a December
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

and a song someone sings
Once upon a December
And a song someone sings

Anya rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest as she wandered away from Dimitri. Her? A grand duchess? That was ridiculous. Just ridiculous! She unfolded her arms and looked down at her attire. The old brown dress that she'd worn for years had holes scattered all over it and her boots were so worn that there were almost holes in the soles. Did she look like grand duchess material?
However, despite her doubts, there was a side of her that was the slightest bit hopeful and curious. What if she was the grand duchess? After all, if she couldn't remember her childhood before the orphanage properly, how could she rule this out? It was a little out there, of course, but she had a feeling creeping up at the back of her mind that this might be the answers to her prayers.
She sighed and shrugged as she faced the two men again. "Alright, boys. What've I got to lose?"
