Anastasiya Nadezhda Konstantinova

''And he cries confess, confess. Vile succubus. How you beguiled and defiled my innocence. You're a bitch. You're a witch. You're the reason for all my sins. Burn the witch.''

- Witch : Karilene

Physical
Standing at 5'7" Anastasiya is a study of sharp contrasts. Her features are that of her Vistani mother's with the almost deathly pallor of her father's otherworldliness. Her eyes are pitch and hair is a deep auburn that in shadows appears a shade off black. The scent of grave dirt and funeral flowers follow her wake and her long sharp nails are stained black with ink. Her dress is not from here, nor is it from her current home in Toril but akin to the real world 17th century of her home back in Barovia.

Personality
Ana is poised and control; a storm made flesh and barely held in check. Her mannerisms are deliberate and floating with the grace of a dancer. There is a slight unnaturalness to her that is often assumed due to the Vistani side of her heritage. She does not flinch in the face of gore, nor is she overly attracted to it. Instead it is a practicality; though the only time she seems to visibly show concern is late at night when the shadows can be occupied as if Someone is stalking her path.

Before the Story
[redacted x4]

Anastasiya Konstantinova was born to her mother in Barovia after a tryst with her birth father. The Konstantinov kumpania spoiled her rotten; the tarokka reading by Madame Eva spoke of her Destiny of great things and took a personal interest in her raising. As soon as she could, she greedily read every book she could get her hands on and when she was given the chance to study wizardry she devoured the Arts with abandon. While she pledged herself to the School of Evocation, Necromancy has a place in her heart. It was when she drew the attention of [redacted], (see below: Adrian Wulfric Putnam) her family spirited her away through the Mists to Baulder's Gate.

Her time in Faerûn was well-spent, moving up in the ranks of the Mage's Guild to a position of authority. She worked as an ambassador to The Dread Realms gathering wealth, prestige, and political power fulfilling the vision of Madame Eva of the Vistani born Aasimar. While trapped in Faerûn she always scryed on her sister after she herself escaped Barovia to a place called Hilan. Ana watched her sister as she fell in love with her one day husband and bear her beautiful daughter Theodosia. While she has always been a hidden godmother to her, staying to the shadows and doing everything she could to beat back the darkness that stalks their bloodline, Ana thinks of Thea as if she was her own daughter. Born of her heart instead of flesh. The fact that her looks favor that of her father was a huge relief considering the kind of complications it would have brought if she favored her Vistani heritage.

With the Third Family
Ana's relationship with the party has yet to be discovered and explored. One thing is for certain; if she is to help return their heart to them, she intends to ask them to help do the same for her.

The Third Family
Bryn Nibnibbler: n/a

Fuego Nevermere: n/a

Kam: n/a

Other Characters
[redacted] - Ana is on the run from a man back in Barovia, someone who has dogged her steps for what seems like forever. While in Faerûn she was able to avoid [Him] for long enough but the days are numbered before he send someone after her to bring her home.

Adrian Wulfric Putnam - The part of her heart that is still trapped in the Dread Realms. Adrian was the only person to be able to distract Ana away from her studies. The firstborn son of one of Barovia’s selectman, Master Putnam was set to follow in his father’s footsteps. And lo, did the Goode Reverend Putnam take issue with his son becoming distracted by the Vistani girl. It was through the actions of [redacted] that spared Ana the pyre after a hasty accusation of Witchcraft (specifically dabbling with the Dark Arts.) In exchange for saving her that [redacted] forced her to instead live in Castle [redacted] whilst her lover was kept beneath the keep in the labyrinthine dungeons below. When her family forced her to flee she had to abandon Adrian and Ana hasn’t forgiven herself. Her family swore they would free him once she was free in Faerûn and by staying away she can keep [redacted]’s eye from falling on him once more.
