> "*So What Stefan? I Understand that you think you might be a bad person, but just because there is an allure of darkness like Klaus says. Doesn't mean you will turn bad or evil. Believe me, I'm the grand daughter of a deceptive and manipulative liar and the daughter of the most selfish man on this earth now. Both who are willing to sacrifice others to get what they want. The whole point of this.... Being a bad person is only when you choose to, when you follow through with it'"*

> ***Anastasiya** to **Stefan***

**Anastasiya Stefanova Petrova** (Bulgarian**: Анастасия Стефанова Петрова**) is a minor recurring character of *The Vampire Diaries.* She is a vampire and was formerly a Traveler-sub culture witch, before her transition into a vampire. Anastasiya is the daughter of Nadia Petrova, which makes her the granddaughter of Katherine Pierce. She is also a descendant of Amara and an ancestor of Isobel Flemming and Elena Gilbert.

Anastasiya spent most of her childhood with her mother, Nadia. Together, they searched from Nadia's biological mother, Katerina Petrova. She never knew why, all Anastasiya knew was that Katerina was family, which Nadia has always told her is someone's biggest strength. It is also unknown which Original's sireline her and Nadia obtained their vampirism, through it's presumed it's between Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah. Anastasiya is also not super accustomed to modern American culture. It is known that when she's called either Ana or Anna, the americanized version of her name, her reaction with be that of disgust and she'll instantly correct who said it.

As a human in the mid-sixteenth century, Anastasiya worked inside the local church of her hometown, Český Krumlov. She was known to be very, very religious at this time, thinkin that even believing in the religion would help both her and her mother find some clarity.

Though later one, Anastasiya learned that her mother, Nadia, still wanted to search for Katerina. That ended with her letting her mother go, so she could find Katerina; seeing her only one more time after that, until 2012.

Now in the 21st century, she currently resides within Mystic Falls, Virginia. She has currently taken up her name again, taking an education in Historical Literature at Whitmore College. She previously went by Audra Pierce and got an education at Duke University. She is now aware that her family is present in Mystic Falls and her goal is to track down both her mother, Nadia and her grandmother, Katerina.

**Anastasiya** is a member of the **Petrova Family** and an ancestor of the **Flemming Family**. She is the last living member of her family that carries the Petrova name.

## Early History

Anastasiya was born as Anastaiya Stefanova Petrova in 1525 in Český Krumlov, Czechoslovakia. Anastasiya was born in Český Krumlov due to the fact that her mother, Nadia Petrova, was adopted by a Czechoslovakian family. So she grew up not knowing of her Bulgarian roots, unlike her maternal grandmother. Anastasiya grew up in a different country and was part of a completely different culture than that of her maternal ancestors.

Anastasiya spent most of her childhood with her mother, Nadia. Together, they searched from Nadia's biological mother, Katerina Petrova. She never knew why, all Anastasiya knew was that Katerina was family, which Nadia has always told her is someone's biggest strength.

#### **1541**

When Anastasiya was sixteen, she worked inside the local church of her hometown, Český Krumlov. She was known to be very, very religious at this time, thinkin that even believing in the religion would help both her and her mother find some clarity. Since that was what she could trust in when she was a young child.

Though later one, Anastasiya learned that her mother, Nadia, still wanted to search for Katerina. That ended with her letting her mother go, so she could find Katerina, not seeing her again once she left.

Later on within that same year, Anastasiya fell in love with an unnamed man. Since she was sworn to the church, she by the laws of the church, could not marry him. She agreed to carry their children though, starting at the age of sixteen. They had four children together: Her eldest pair of twins James Ans Viktoria, then Pascoe, then her youngest born Swain.

#### 1546

It is unknown the true reason why Anastasiya wanted to be a vampire. Though the reason she had ended up killing herself was that while she worked at the church, she heard that many people were dying due to illnesses, infections, plagues, and many other reasons.

So as to make sure she didn't have to suffer through any of that, when she was in the church monastery, she had taken a piece of glass from the wall and proceeded to slit her own throat with it. She laid on the floor as she did this as she was trying to avoid a slow and painful death.

As the darkness started consuming her, she felt something slowly drip into her mouth and do down her throat and into her system. She later then woke up in transition, looking up as she saw the face of her mother, Nadia Petrova.

When Anastasiya had time to finally process it, her mother was gone. Taking in the new life she would now have, she wiped her neck off and left to return home to her family.

#### Anastasiya's First Humanity Off Switch

It is unknown exactly when it happened, though it is assumed it was around the time of her transition, Anastasiya had an incident with her humanity. When Anastasiya met up with Felix and and Dorian's sister, Irina Satre, in the 21st century; she told her the story about when she turned it off to help comfort her.

The story was that since Anastasiya's transition and losing her lover to plague, she had turned her humanity off while mourning. Her youngest born, Swain Petrov, did his best to try and comfort her. But all she could smell and think about was his blood, she then sank her teeth into her son and drank from him until he was completely drained of blood and had died.

After that, she had seen another child across the street; a friend of her now deceased son, Swain. She then drained the boy and his entire family, which led to her eventually ripping through the entire neighborhood. Meanwhile, her kids had been taken to the church for hiding and she wasn't able to see them for a while.

#### 1874

Only ten years after Damon and Stefan had become vampires, Anastasiya ran into and met the two brothers. She didn't sense their vampirism at first, but she was glad after she did, as she found that living life as a vampire can be rather lonely sometimes. It took the brother some time to warm up to her, which made sense as they were still recovering from what Katherine did to them in 1864.

After the brother had come to terms with everything, Stefan was the first of the two to reach out to Anastasiya. This resulted with the two becoming tight knit friends and being able to talk to one another regardless. They talked with one another about their family heritage and what they panned to do with their lives since both were vampires who had all the time in the world. Meanwhile, Damon still had a sour taste setting in his mouth from Katherine's betrayal, had ended up not getting along well with Anastasiya.

#### 1916

Anastasiya had been living the United States for a while at this point and when the first World War had come along, she was willing to volunteer to be nurse to help the soldiers who got hurt and that were dying from their wounds. Anastasiya ended up using her blood during this time as a way to heal them, though most of them not turning until later on in life. She had decided during World War I, that she was going to help other if she was going to life an immortal life.

#### Season Two

In *Katerina*, Anastasiya was mentioned by Stefan when Elena goes into searching into Katherine's past. Stefan mentioned how Katherine and Anastasiya were polar opposites. Elena had decided to seek out her ancestor, Anastasiya, before she was going to the tomb to talk to Katherine to see if she knew an=ything about her. Later on, Anastasiya reveals to Elena that she is Katherine's granddaughter and handed her a book of her families past that she carried thoughout the centuries.

In *By the Light of the Moon*, Anastasiya appears after Elena enlists her help as she is not able to leave her home. Elena hoped that Anastasiya would be able to help get her out of the house. During this time, she sees Damon, marking this as the moment Anastasiya has first seen Damon since 1874. The two ended up being at a stand still on why the other was with Elena.

With Daddy Issues, this is the first episode where Anastasiya shows her vampire side to defend her family, with John Gilbert is back in town. She goes out of her way to make sure that Elena is out of harms way. This is also the episode where she meets Jenna Sommers and Alaric Saltzman and dicuss with them about the situation. To which she says that she wouldnt be suprised if the mother shows up as well. Keeping elena's mother in vague terms around them.

In Know Thy Enemy, when her suspicions of Isobel being back come true. She is at the gilbert residece fearing the worse. Though this is the only time she is seen to reside there. As for the rest of the Season, Anastasiya stays at the gilbert house to make sure no one gets invited in and no one in her family gets hurt.

Even after the events of As I Lay Dying, Anastasiya is seen to hold her Descendant clost after her revival after her temporay death. Mourning the fact of john's sacrifice.

Even when Caroline spends the night with Tyler, Anastasiya is there to let Elena and her drink their hearts out. Even getting into more manners and getting into Ana's history before getting into a more girl like talk.

The Hybrid, Damon, Alaric and Anastasiya follow Elena's plans to find Stefan. Though she does care about her family. She is also using this as a way to try and get back to het old friend. Since it hurts her to see someone who was filled with humanity, suddenly have it off.

The End of the Affair, Anastasiya joins Damon as they get on hsi trail and find him down in Chicago.

With Disturbing Behaviour, Anastasiya and Damon had found Stefan in Chicago. Though they run into Katherine, who Anastasiya quickly confuses for Elena. Though after she does figure out. It does anger her, as the two get into a heated arguement of sorts. With Katherine not knowing how they are related, she assumes that Anastasiya is simply a sire of hers.

When the Mikaelson family has a ball, in Dangerous Liaisons, Anastasiya had joined the group. Anastasiya had been ballroom dancing with a few different young men before seeing someone in the crowd. A fellow vampire, compelling a young girl to go with him. She had left the dance quickly to intervene, and when she did so. Things did not end well, she had her neck snapped by the vampire and then when she did get up. She had drank throughout the party. Then the next morning, waking up to him being in bed beside her. This being one of many times that she would be intimately involved with Felix.

#### Season Six and Seven

Anastasiya is noted to be missing for both whole seasons; assumed to be due to her mourning the death of her mother and coming to terms with everything else, like Markos being her biological father. While she is mentioned by name a couple of times, the only time her name actually pops up is a few episodes after *Gone Girl*; as Stefan reaches out to her to see how she's handling everything and such.

#### Season Eight

In *We're Planning a June Wedding*, after Anastasiya heard about Stefan and Caroline's wedding, she decided to return to town after all that had happened last time she was in Mystic Falls.

This left Anastasiya being the only remaining Petrova vampire and with no clear path for her to go in life anymore, her life from then on is currently known to be a mystery.

## Years After The Vampire Diaries

While it is truly unknown what Anastasiya had done with her life after Season Eight of the vampire Diaries, thought after everything. Her Family, (Elena, Jeremy Damon via his marriage into the family) had assumed that she had moved far away. From the place she once called a fresh start, to find a new place. To start over and not have to worry about anything from her past.

## Through Legacies

### Season Two

In *Screw Endgame,* MG and Kaleb find the body of Sebastian body, but are both unsure of what to do with it, as they have little information on why he was desiccated in the first place. They decide to consult Alaric, who tells the two that it is best to leave him desiccated.

 File:AnastasiyaDesiccated.jpg
Though as they are about to leave as well, they encounter the desiccated body of another vampire. A gorgeous female, laying there peacefully. When MG turns to Alaric, they asked about the second vampire in the basement of the Salvatore School.

While no name was officially mentioned, Alaric gave this description, with the desiccated vampire off screen. "Behind the Desiccation, she is the last of her name. One of the strongest vampires, of her name. A true fighter. A person, who was able to show that, even if you come from darkness. There is always a chance to come into the light"

MG, Kaleb and Alaric, leave the basement of the school. Before the camera slowly transitions to the nameless desiccated vampire. Anastasiya Petrova, even though fans had speculated that it could of been the body of Elena Gilbert or Katherine Pierce.

### Season Four

Though by the season Finale, of Legacies. It is seen that along with the God spear, that was shipped out of the boarding school. Cassius and an oblong large box was seen shipped out, being sent to Czech Republic (Czechoslovakia). Though when Hope had asked Cassius and Caroline about what the second box was for, that was being shipped out. Caroline had answered "We are returning it, back to where it came from. It was important to someone, while we have held it here in the Salvatore School for a long time, it's been in Mystic Falls longer than any of us. So it is our time to return it back, to her family"

Though it is confirmed in letter to Elena Gilbert, with a quick transition to the Gilbert house. That with Elena, Damon and Stefanie Gilbert reading, that their package, was delivered back Czechoslovakia. As that is what Stefan would want for her.

Later revealed in that box was **Anastasiya Petrova**. It is unknown why her body was sent back to her home country. Though, it is assumed that since Caroline had known how much of a family oriented person, that Anastasiya was. She had shipped the desiccated Anastasiya back to her home country, back to where she had come from. Where her late husband and kids were laid to rest.

It is unknown if she was every awoken from her desiccation. Though, people assume this won't be the last time that we see Anastasiya Petrova.

## Powers and Abilities

Anastasiya has the same strengths of an Non-Original Vampire

* **Super Strength:** Vampires are noticeably much stronger than Supernatural Hunters, immortals and humans and slowly grow stronger as they grow older. Even new vampires who are still in transition can toss an average-size, fully-grown human across a room with great speed and force. Their other feats include single-handedly lifting grown men high off the ground by the throat and snapping their necks, cutting off a person's head with their bare hands, and ripping out internal organs such as hearts with little to no effort. Their strength is also more powerful than that of werewolves in their human form and, depending on the age of the vampire, can be equal to that of Evolved werewolves. Their strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature. Vampires who feed on humans are stronger than those who feed on animal blood.

* **Super Speed:** Vampires are much faster than various other human and supernatural beings such as supernatural hunters, immortals, and werewolves in human form. Vampires can accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, usually faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion allowing them to appear or vanish quickly and quietly. Their reflexes and dexterity are similarly heightened, allowing them to catch certain projectiles such as arrows and thrown stakes in the air with ease

* **Super Agility:** Vampires possess super-human agility, such that they can react quickly, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.

* **Super Senses:** Vampires have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, smell, and taste that far exceed those of humans and werewolves. They can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far of buildings and on phones, though most vampires typically learn how to tune out most ambient noises when it's not necessary to hear them—Josh, a newborn vampire, explained that vampires can turn their enhanced hearing off, which explains why they can occasionally miss auditory warnings, such as the footsteps of approaching enemies, when they're paying attention to other things. Vampires can also smell blood from several meters away, and see in total darkness. Their senses of taste are also enhanced as well, allowing them to detect the presence of drugs, alcohol, or vervain in someone's blood.
* **Super Durability:** Vampires can take a great amount of physical damage without being slowed down. Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets, which have a weakening effect on vampires, have been seen to continue fighting so long as they were not shot in the heart or the head. Vampires still react to physical force in a human manner, particularly young vampires, who will occasionally be affected even by human-strength-level force. Vampires can also still be stunned and dazed by strikes and trauma, though their tolerance for it will increase as they get older.
* **Healing Factor:** Vampires recover tissue from any form of physical damage to their bodies within seconds to minutes, though they still feel the pain of a wound before it heals. Vampires can snap their bones back into place after they have been broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement very quickly, so long as they had consumed a regular diet of human blood prior to the injury.
* **Immortality:** A vampire stops aging once turned. Upon their transformation, vampires become immune to all conventional illness, diseases, viruses and infections.
* **Enhanced Emotions:** Vampires experience emotions more powerfully than humans. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for vampires, allowing them to live life more intensely. This ability allows vampires to feel emotions at their peak regardless of their age. Conversely, sadness, depression, guilt, fear and anger are also amplified, causing many vampires to become so overwhelmed that they "turn off" their humanity. Turning off their humanity allows them to block out their more negative emotions, such as fear and guilt, allowing them to feed and kill without remorse, go against any opponent without fear, and relieve themselves of painful feelings such as grief, loss, depression, and shame.
* **Mind Compulsion:** Vampires have the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories. There is a sort of hierarchy as to how this ability works and have a weaker form than that of Original vampires and can only compel humans and cannot compel other supernatural beings.
* **True Face:** A vampire's true face is the appearance they are hiding under their normal human face. When a vampire's true face is revealed, the sclera of their eyes turns blood-red, dark veins appear under their eyes as the blood pumps forcefully through them, and their canine teeth extend into razor-sharp fangs.

## Weakness

Anastasiya has the same weakness of an Non-Original Vampire

* **Animal Blood:** Animal blood, while somewhat satisfying a vampire's hunger and sustaining their undead life, will make the vampire considerably weaker than they would be if they had drank human blood, causing their physical abilities to be inferior to a human-blood-consuming vampire, making them heal much more slowly, and making their compulsion less effective.
* **Broken Neck:** Breaking a vampire's neck will not kill them, but it will render in a death-like state for varying amounts of time, depending on the diet and age of the person in question. The Enhanced Original vampire Alaric once snapped Damon's neck, though he recovered quickly due to the fact that he is an older vampire.
	+ **The Cure:** If a vampire takes the cure, they will revert back to being mortal again. Once taken, the cure prevents vampire blood from having any effect on them, as it will not heal their wounds, and, if the vampire dies with vampire blood in their system, they will remain dead and not awaken as a vampire in transition. Additionally, their blood becomes the Cure once they've ingested it, making them a target to any vampire who wants to cure themselves. If the Cure-laced blood should be drained from a cured vampire, that vampire would begin to rapidly age to compensate for the years they spent as an undead, un-aging vampire. In the case of older vampires, this can cause them to age so quickly that they die in weeks or months if the Cure has been drained from their body.

* **Decapitation:** Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in an instant and permanent death.
* **Desiccation:** Vampires who abstain from blood for extended amounts of time will eventually desiccate and mummify. Witches can use magic to desiccate a vampire
	+ **Heart Extraction:** Removing the heart of a vampire will result in permanent death.

* **Physical Trauma:** Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause pain and also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely so long as they haven't been weakened by other means such as vervain or werewolf bites.

* **Sunlight:** Sunlight and UV rays burn vampires on contact, and prolonged exposure will cause them to burst into flames and die. However, this weakness can be mitigated by the use of a lapis lazuli stone enchanted with a specific protection spell by a witch for a particular vampire, which is usually affixed to jewelry, though it requires the vampire to wear the stone at all times.

* **Vampire Bloodline:** If an Original vampire dies, all vampires descended from their bloodline will slowly perish as well. Members of Klaus's bloodline were unlinked from him; thus they were spared upon his death unlike Finn, Kol, and Elijah's sirelines.

* **Vervain:** Exposure to or ingestion of vervain causes a vampire to become severely feverish and weak to the point that it can even hinder their healing abilities as well. Also, physical contact with vervain will burn a vampire's skin.

* **Werewolf Venom:** The bite of a werewolf, which involves injecting toxic venom into the wound, is extremely lethal to vampires. It will cause them to hallucinate, grow severely weak, and go rabid until it kills them.

* **Wood:** Wounding a vampire with a wooden weapon such as wooden bullets will incapacitate them, and it will take longer for them to heal their injuries than if the wounds were caused by any other substance. Stabbing a vampire through the heart with a wooden stake will result in instantaneous and permanent death.
* **White Oak Ash Daggers:** It is said that if a vampire daggers an Original vampire, they will die while the Original vampire is neutralized. This, however, has never been proven.

### Elena Gilbert

With Elena Gilbert, being within her family bood line, it only makes sense that the two would eventually cross paths. When she had first met Elena, it had been when Elena was human, though they had never interacted. Though she had seen pictures of her in the salvatore house. Even mistaking her for her grand mother for a bit. She was in the background just observing her, though they had never formerly talked until Daddy Issues in Season 2. When John Gilbert comes back into town, she also made an apperance. Her's was more of a protective reason, since she was a vampire longer than him.

Her relationship to Elena, is family. Knowing the footsteps of being a vampire, she helps out Elena any way that she can. Making sure that her descendant never felt alone in her journey. Even with the human tasks, she had always been by Elena's side wanting to protect her. Over the years, the two got closer as well.

### Felix Sartre

Anastasiya had met Felix Sartre during the Mikaelson Ball in Season 3 of the vampire diaries. She was attending the ball with her descendant Elena Gilbert and her two friends Damon and Stefan. While they remained with elena to protect her from the Mikaelsons. Anastasiya had been ballroom dancing with a few different young men before seeing someone in the crowd. A fellow vampire, compelling a young girl to go with him. She had left the dance quickly to intervene, and when she did so. Things did not end well, she had her neck snapped by the vampire and then when she did get up. She had drank throughout the party. Then the next morning, waking up to him being in bed beside her.

Felix Sartre could be compared to Damon Salvatore, in the Elena gilbert love triangle. With Anastasiya being Elena, loving two brothers.

Anastasiya and Felix had been hated enemies of each other due to their rival thoughts on how to live their immortal lives. Though the two are seen more as lovers who sleep together in comparision of a couple. Being intimate and sleeping with each other any chance that they had gotten.

### Dorian Sartre

During *We'll Always Have Bourbon Street* in Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries, the trio of Damon Salvatore, Stefan Salvatore and Anastasiya Petrova, go out on a search for an old friend who the brothers remember from 1942. While she had let the brothers find their mystery out, she had done her best to help. While searching for a lead, she had ran into Dorian Sartre. Not knowing that at the time, that he was the brother to Felix Sartre.

Thinking that this vampire could get her a lead for her friends, she had helped the vampire out when he needed it. Since he had just waken up after being hurt a few decades back. Anastasiya and Dorian had gotten a few drinks at Rousseaus together, and they had gotten to know each other. Unlike his brother, it seemed Dorian was interested in getting to know her personally.

Dorian Sartre could be compared to Stefan Salvatore, in the Elena gilbert love triangle. With Anastasiya being Elena, loving two brothers.

Since Felix had casted her aside since she was no longer of use to him, she had been seeing Dorian as a lover. Though it seems she is still entangled with both brothers.
