## Biography

### History

Anya's early life is a grand mystery. She was discovered in a secret Dominion laboratory in stasis and rescued. Her saviors suspected that the scientists had been creating super soldiers made from animals to give them feral characteristics. Other than Anya, Claire and Sasha were two of the rescued test subjects. Specifically, they discovered Anya in an ice cave encased in crystal completely by chance. According to the salvaged files that were also recovered, Anya cannot be experimented on nor be awakened.

Her rescuers were Vuran and Viktor, who discovered the Dominion lavatory during a raid mission on Triton, having been brought there by a distress signal. They later discovered that Anya herself sent out the signal. After she was miraculously awakened, Anya never recovered any memories of her life prior to her hibernation, other than symbols that resemble a sun and a moon.

Anya lived in St. Petersburg with her friends for several years. Though she is now retired from the military and living in Germany with her friends and bandmates, she voluntarily joined the military after a year of rehabilitation.

#### Relationships

Ayna has no known relatives or family.

The only associations that she had for the longest time were Vuran, Claire, Sasha, Viktor, and Val until she met Svea and Rhav.

More recently, after her band and friends moved to Germany, she has begun to become more open to relationships. She has befriended members of Finnish rock band Our Fragile Echo, particularly lead vocalist Päiviö Selänne, and musicians associated with them, due to global touring with her own band.

### Personality

Anya typically carries a solemn and calm countenance. She is an introvert who, unless otherwise forced by her friends, will only go out on duty, for food to a very specific place, and whenever she needs to seek inspiration for her art.

She has mild bipolar depression, and suffers from mood swings that typically result in a negative emotional breakdown. Her close friends are the only persons who can pacify Ayna during her breakdowns. After meeting Rhav, however, the frequency of which she had breakdowns began to dwindle until they stopped entirely.

Ayna has a huge appetite and always eats at one of her the fast food restaurants where her friends work.

### Talents and hobbies

Anya is artistically and musically talented. When she was younger, she volunteered to be a medical officer who works during interplanetary missions.

### Abilities

Anya possesses an immunity to the cold, among other powers that include "destructive power surges" that can result from her emotional breakdowns. Any animal, except for owls, will become crystallized upon physical contact with them.

## Artistry

### Musical style

As the lead vocalist of Stargazers, Anya classifies her musical style as power metal, symphonic metal, emo, punk rock, emo pop, pop punk, screamo, kawaii metal, and pop.
