Character: Anya aka Anastasia Romanov
Series:
Anastasia
Character Age: 18
Canon: If there's rumors, there's money. Specifically, a reward for anyone who finds and returns the rumored long-lost Princess Anastasia to her Grandmother in Paris. So for a pair of con men, a pretty penny comes in the form of Anya, an amnesiac orphan of the Russian Revolution who just wants to find her past, her only hint being a necklace inscribed 'Together in Paris'. Luckily for her, the resemblance she bears to the Princess grants her a free pass courtesy of the con men, and as they coach her to act more like royalty her memories slowly return. But little do they know, Anya is really Anastasia, and the more sinister forces behind the Royal family's deaths are reawakening. And these forces now want to see any sign of Anastasia dead.
As for the Princess Anastasia herself, she is prone to bouts of immaturity and cracking wise every now and again. The fact that she has a mind of her own and isn't afraid to speak it, even if it's to herself, makes her feisty compared to most girls. Despite that, it works well when combined with her honesty and empathy for others. Determined, Anya just wants to find a home, as home to her is very much where one's heart is. Still, Anya does have her moments of sad introspection, mostly about wanting to love and be loved. Even when she regains her memories and a family this melancholy still persists right up until she is true to herself about both who she wants to be and who she really wants to be with. Lastly, but certainly not least, in true animated Princess movie style Anya breaks out in song every now and then over whatever situation she's in.
NOTE: Anya is being taken from the end of the movie.
Sample Post:
'Braaaaains, braaaaaaaaaaiiiinnns...' Everyone I've asked, it's always about brains! Hmph, well I didn't need help anyway, I'm sure I can find my way by myself without being questioned on how smart I am by some brainiacs! But... even if I say that, this place is like a nightmare. One that's sans anything actually scary, that is. Swamps are meant to have strange smells and weird things crawling over you, right? Still, there's something about it that almost feels cursed... though gross or not there must be a way out! Even if the only clue I have is the name 'Stephen Debussey', surely someone would know who that name belongs to! I've already heard that he's either six-feet-under or in just as deep of trouble with his fiancee, but he must have had other people who cared for him too! It is his home, after all.
But about this fiancee, apparently she's looking for his murderer... I'm sure that she's just keeping everybody here out of desperation! Not to mention the rumors of him being less than dead and buried... unless he looks like the walking dead like everyone else here, that's sure familiar! I've been there, so whether he's stuck somewhere and trying to get back, or if he's decided to do his own thing true to himself, family should still be important to him! I may not know what he did to make his fiancee so mad, but if he is alive and has his memory intact, then he needs to man up and come out of hiding-- not to mention apologize about his reported death! Not that manning up could help him any, from the sounds of his fiancee. But it'd still be better for everybody in the end, wouldn't it?
And here I am talking to myself! Sitting around won't accomplish anything... alright, that does it! I'll help reunite them even if I have to drag the guy out by his teeth. Now let's see, first I need to find out... ah, ma'am! Excuse, ma'am, my name is Anya and I need a helping hand... n-not that kind of hand, thank you, though that's a... nice trick! Listen, I just need to know where Stephen Debussey was last seen. Please don't start on the brains like everyone else does!
...great, not only is it more brains, but it's another thing no one knows about! What about the lake? It certainly looks suspicious, what with the... green glowing. And the... the huge octopus? Oh, I'm sorry, 'tentacle monster'. That's... just peachy! Let me guess, the disappearance of Stephen and the conditions here are connected. It seems to be too much of a coincidence... and I've dealt with curses before.
If that's the case, new plan: Break the curse! Then find this guy. It shouldn't be too hard to find where the curse originates from, right? Something tells me that once we do that Stephen or his murderer will show up, not to mention everyone here should go back to normal. Oh don't be a big baby, there's only so much we should let the world defeat us before going overboard! Now wipe off the muck-- ♪ but be careful that your arms don't fall off~ ♪! We've got to put one foot forward and keep on going~ ♪ Just ignore that plant! Now what is this thing crawling down my baaaAAAHHH!
