PERSONAL HISTORY
✦ Anastasia was born in a small French village, to a woman named Eloise who worked as a Hunter for the church - her Father is a nameless angel, who had 'blessed' the woman to have his child. In doing so, he decreed that Eloise would raise the girl to become a Hunter and deal with demons as the church decrees.
✦ Due to her heritage, Anastasia was born a nephilim - something only mentioned in myths and rumours. However, she was able to pass as a winged human, due to the lack of angelic qualities. It's only in dangerous situations that she lets her angelic blood come to the forefront, letting her become an angel as seen in stories.
✦ Under the tutelage of her mother Eloise, Anastasia learned a number of ways to fight and handle her abilities - as well as a trade to act as a public front. The only time Father appeared during this time was to 'bless' Anastasia with her weapon, Rosarium, which would allow her to attack those considered unholy by their God. Once she was 18, she finally became a Hunter of the church and was sent out to hunt demons as appointed by her superiors and messages sent by Father - something she did happily, feeling as though what she's doing is right.
✦ One day, through self-flogging over being unable to track her targets and starvation from not eating while so focused on her tasks, Anastasia ended up collapsing. She was taken in by a small village within the French alpines - the residents being demons that she was tasked with hunting. For the first few days, too stunned by their aid and unwilling to face anything that went against her teachings, Anastasia lashed out and staunchly refused their help.
✦ After some time passed, a demon named Arterius eventually confronted Anastasia over her attitude and beliefs, resulting in a fierce argument that ended up with the nephilim crumbling under her despair and guilt, when she realised those she killed before may have been completely innocent. From there, she put herself together and decided to do her best to atone for what she had done, now throwing herself into helping around the village as much as possible. Days turned into weeks turned into months, and it's around this time that feelings start to grow between Arterius and Anastasia.
✦ But after running errands outside the village, Anastasia comes back to carnage - and another nephilim that had decided to finish what Anastasia was supposed to have started. Despaired over how there's others like her killing innocent people, and outraged over how those under her protection had been hurt, Anastasia lashes out at the other nephilim. Seeing them too far gone, she decides to kill them - gaining the edge over them by using her fully angelic form and weapon, where they refused to. In doing so, she becomes tainted - now becoming a fallen half-angel, over the tainting of her faith and how she attacked another holy being. And while not everyone is killed, she decides to leave the village, ending her relationship with Arterius, and return home. Now discarding her church mantle, to ask her parents why she and others like her are killing innocents.
✦ Her journey back is wrought with attacks by titanspawn, the influence of the titans escaping their prison spreading. It's in dealing with these titanspawn that she meets Sonali Vyas and Ran Xing Lian, two figures who become greatly important to her. Together, they return to Anastasia's home village - only to find her mother dead. Yet she has no time to mourn, as her Father is quick to appear before her, scolding Anastasia for being a failure and that her mother was useless if she couldn't raise an ideal child.
✦ It's here when her Father reveals the truth - that the birth of the nephilim has two purposes; to remove any obstacles in their Lord YHWH's way, innocent or not - and to disturb the natural order enough to draw them back, as YHWH abandoned them years ago. Decreeing that he can just birth more like her, her Father vanishes - with Anastasia outraged, deciding that she will kill her father and YHWH, so that no more nephilim like her will be born and other villages like the one that saved her won't be destroyed. Sonali, being a demigod, advises they can journey to the 'overworld' where gods retreat to. This brings the first hint that not all seems to be as myths and stories says, as the angels YHWH created are placed into a pocket dimension of their own creation. There is no heaven or hell, just realms where entities are trapped or where they go back to.
✦ The journey to the 'overworld' is wrought by attacks from titanspawn, as the titans soon wage war once more on the various gods. In trying to make their way to the 'overworld', they encounter one of the Grigori Avatars. They force it into giving them information, by making it so a titanspawn attacks them and they have to defend themselves, breaking their rule of neutrality. From here, they learn the origin of Ran's spear, and that there is far more to their world and universe that they ever knew.
PERSONALITY:
A confident and bold young woman, Anastasia very much seems like the kind of person who wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn’t have a shy bone in her body. There’s little hesitation when talking to or approaching people, and she has such a cheerful disposition that it’s rare to see her depressed or forlorn. Maybe huffy or annoyed, considering how fiery her temper is, but never truly upset.
And while her confidence, her cheer, are all truly part of herself, they are also used to obscure the more darker aspects of her personality. Of someone consumed by guilt and a drive to kill those who wronged her, no matter the cost and no matter who may be affected by what she plans to do. When one plans to kill a god, they will also upset or ruin the lives of their worshippers - Anastasia knows this, and yet she doesn’t care. It’s a price to be paid, and in her mind, it’s their own fault for following a god such as them. Because if there’s one aspect of her that still lingers from her years as a church Hunter, it’s her intense pursuit of her task - she will now dally and relax if she needs to and wants to, but she will achieve her goals and she won’t let anything stop her.
Since, when it comes down to it, Anastasia is incredibly and undoubtedly stubborn. There’s only two people she will listen to unconditionally, and most other times, she will listen to someone if they offer her something or endear themselves to her. And only until she tired of listening to them, before going to do whatever it is she wants. After so long of obeying the whims of her parents with no question, she is now fiercely protective of her ability to choose and do what she wants - it’s something she won’t allow to be taken from her again. She’s a strong believer in following your own free will, and she won’t react kindly seeing someone forced to serve someone else. It’s truly a sign of trust from her, if Anastasia will listen to you without some sort of payment - Ran and Sonali are the only ones who have earned this, and so are the only ones to reign her in.
Because when you have a woman able to do what she wants after years of mindlessly obeying, you have someone incredibly curious and very into everything. Now free to do her own thing, she can be incredibly reckless - especially since she knows she’s hardier than a typical human - and so she gets into everything and anything she can. If there’s something new, she wants to experience it all for herself. This also means she’s a bit of a bookworm, absorbing any texts she can find, wanting to find out as much as she can - especially since her schooling was…. Lacking. She’s not the most booksmart around, but she makes up for it with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in everything. This also extends to physical affection, after years of being starved of it and now being close to someone who shares their excitement with kisses - she has little issues holding hands or grabbing someone, if the mood strikes her and sees herself little reason to be shy about it. And at times forgetting there are those more withdrawn than her. Though anything beyond hand holds or hugs is a ground she won’t tread, both due to not wanting to be that close to people, and also because she does know some boundaries. She isn't the most emotionally open to others, and prefers to keep certain aspects of herself hidden away - either for her own comfort, or because she prefers not to drag others down with her own issues, especially as she still struggles with her guilt.
Though morality is still a shaky subject for her, and she’s very grey at best. She’s selfish and looks after her own, uncaring about the troubles of others unless they affect her - yet, if someone is in dire need, she won’t hesitate to extend her aid to them. She is aware of her crimes and still pushes herself to atone for them, yet won’t allow herself to be dragged down by it - viewing as being consumed by her guilt and despair a waste of time, when she can do something about it. She could feel disgust over her heritage, yet instead she views it as an advantage - a way to fight back against those who used her, and she shows pride in it. And her guilt still doesn’t deter her from using violence if necessary, always more than happy to fight out a problem rather than talk. Fighting and killing was what she was raised to do, and she’s good at it - but now she tries to use these skills to help her friends, more than anything else.
Because when it all comes down to it, Anastasia knows she owes a lot to her friends and the people who cared for her. And for the people she cares for, she is a fierce and loyal companion, and at times borders on overprotective. They accept her for who she is and what she’s done, and so she will lay down her life for them - and while she doesn’t open up easily, anyone who can earn her affection will have someone loyal to them for life. Especially since Anastasia is incredibly accepting of all, wanting to offer others the same chances that were given to her.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Anastasia is a half-angel, known in her world as a 'nephilim'. This grants her a number of abilities that a normal human wouldn't possess, such as;
Also skilled with a needle and thread, thanks to her training to be a couturier. She can play the guitar too, though her singing is horrific.
INVENTORY: The clothes on her back and Rosarium, her weapon which is now a part of her. Also has her handbag containing: a (now useless) mobile phone, a mini make-up kit with brushes and face wipes.

POWERS/ABILITIES:
Anastasia is a half-angel, known in her world as a 'nephilim'. This grants her a number of abilities that a normal human wouldn't possess, such as;
✦ Enhanced Physiology: Far strong and faster than a normal human. Her wings are able to grant her bursts of speed, and a solid punch from Anastasia can easily shatter and splinter solid rock, or dent steel and iron. Also takes her longer to get tired, and is able to take harder hits than humans - along with some minor regen.Her training under her mother also means that Anastasia is a very skilled fighter, proficient in a number of weapons and knows how to defend herself against a variety of entities. Anastasia is very much the tank of the trio, and has little issue with fighting dirty if it grants her the upper-hand.
✦ Tainted Holy Magic: As a nephilim, she would have similar holy abilities as angels - holy magic, exorcising unholy entities and conducting blessings (miracles such as healing, making an item holy). However, as she has rebelled, her magic is tainted - she instead harms holy beings with her magic, has the ability to repel all no matter their alignment and her 'blessings' would instead cause small injuries, curse items for bad luck, or make things toxic.
✦ Flight: Her wings enable her to fly until she tires out, which takes a while due to her stamina. Also has very fluffy and soft feathers.
✦ Sensing: Anastasia is able to sense if someone is human or not/has supernatural or magical properties, though her powers are more specific in regards to beings considered 'holy' or 'unholy'. If someone possesses magic, she would be able to sense that but not what they are exactly, but she can easily pick up on other angels or demons.
✦ Angelic Form: A form where her angel bloodline comes to the forefront. While it's a very sparkly and pretty form, she is much more deadly - she moves faster, and hits much harder. Her 'holy' magic is far more potent, able to create a toxic miasma and create large shields that can block strong magic. Her voice will also become odd and distorted, sounding as if it's coming from a static-ridden radio.
✦ Angelic Weapon "Rosarium": A gold staff covered in bloodstains and thorns. Was once a holy weapon, until Anastasia rebelled - now the thorns will attack anyone that Anastasia commands it to, and the staff remains permanently stained in blood.
Also skilled with a needle and thread, thanks to her training to be a couturier. She can play the guitar too, though her singing is horrific.
INVENTORY: The clothes on her back and Rosarium, her weapon which is now a part of her. Also has her handbag containing: a (now useless) mobile phone, a mini make-up kit with brushes and face wipes.
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis
