Anastasia Petrovna

## Anastasia Petrovna

**Anastasia Petrovna** (アナスタシア・ペトロヴナ *Anasutashia Petorovuna*) is a powerful war maiden, being one of the few grandchildren descended from a member of the Circle of the Holy Saint, an organization dedicated to protecting Humanity.

She is the only granddaughter of Deon Weiss and his lady wife Guinevere Weiss, making her the eldest older half-sister of Dire Crowley.

Much like her maternal grandfather, she is a famed war hero of the Isle of Sages and through her mother and maternal grandfather, is descended from the people of Ixtal. After coming back from the frontlines, she became a paranormal investigator for the ordinary people, having been naturally born with unnaturally strong psychic abilities.

By the time of the game's events (in book 1), Anastasia is implied to have been imprisoned in The Other Dimension for some time, though Dire's statements about her suggest that Anastasia may have been imprisoned there while carrying out a seance in order to drive out a horde of malovent spectors from a person's home (implied to be Trein's home).

She is one of the supporting characters in *Apocalypse of Mankind*.

## Personality

    Anastasia is a calm, reserved, and polite woman, who holds an air of mystery and adventure to her very walking gait. She knows much about pre-internal civil war history for much of the world's current nations in part due to her time as a war hero; like Dire, she has many experiences and memories, as she was a human before she ascended to her current form as a transmigrated human. Being a philosophical researcher by nature means that she is quite well-versed in many things regarding the aspects of knowledge, reality, and existence's fundamental natures. Humble despite the obvious strength with which she normally carries herself with, she always has a slight smile on her face, showcasing her slight laidbackness.

Compared to her other family members, Anastasia has a very flippant attitude towards her abilities as a transmigrated human, not minding revealing her true identity or using her abilities for various tasks to aid other people in their daily adventures and tasks.

She is shown to be rather mysterious in regards to her origins, appearing to enjoy the utilization of analogies and one-word answers to questions asked of her by her clients. Despite all of her mysteriousness, she becomes ruthless when attempting to secure the safety of her clients and despises demonic entities of all kinds, coldly eliminating all threats to her clients.

## Relationships

### Family Members

#### Dire Crowley and Maeve Crowley

Dire is her younger half-brother while Maeve is her sister-in-law, both of them being incredibly important people to Anastasia. They are stated to be incredibly close and often had shared date nights together, with the outcome that their children grew up together and even attended Night Raven College together. After the death of first Maeve and then Anastasia, Dire developed a seemly 'benevolent' nature to replicate the hidden kindness of his older half-sister and Maeve's benevolence towards her's and Dire's children. Their children would occasionally visit their father but stopped their visits after Aoife fell ill with an terminal illness and never recovered, eventually dying in Dire's arms. The subsequent loss of all of his children hardened his heart greatly and he never recovered from the loss of Anastasia, his children or his wife.
