**Olga** (Russian: О́льга "Holy, Blessed"), also known by her Archon name **Tsaritsa**, is the **God of Rebirth and Salvation** and the current Cryo Archon who presides over Snezhnaya. She is a member of The Seven, having replaced her biological older sister and predecessor, Alexandra, on the throne of the Cryo Archon after her death during the catalycsm 500 years ago.

Though she loved her older sister deeply, Olga felt underserving of inheriting her older sister's Archon name and chose the Archon name of Tsaritsa, seeing her as the "lesser form of her sister" - essentially making Olga think of herself as Alexandra's shadow or kagemusha ("shadow warrior").

Having isolated herself in her palace and allowing her Fatui to handle most of the general day-to-day running of Snezhnaya, Olga is noted to be a very private and reclusive Archon, disliking moments of heavy social interactions and enjoying the company of her Eleven Fatui Harbingers, seeing them as her "children" due to her suspected infertility.

## Profile

### Introduction

> Rebirth is the process of resetting the cycle of life and death, a chained reaction that continues for all of eternity. Unchanged by human hands, a true wonder of mankind.
> It can also be cold and icy, like blood freezing in veins and granting you power in exchange for pain and suffering.
> Kindness doesn't lead to salvation, only the icy breath of rebirth leads people to salvation. Through this manner, did I become the gateway between rebirth and salvation, ensuring the cycle remains unbroken.

Anastasia-Maria is the God of Rebirth, Salvation, and the Storm God — among many other names. She is the Cryo Archon and is the fourth-oldest of the current members of "The Seven," and possibly being one of the oldest, if not the fourth-oldest, gods at over four thousand years ago.

In addition to forming the geography of the region she governs, changing the original geography of Snezhnaya from the period it was ruled over by Alexandra. Anastasia-Maria also defended Snezhnaya in great battles such as the Archon War, which was waged in the area that later came to be known as Dragonspine against other gods. In one battle, she successfully drove away an evil god named Durin, using massive ice lances to pierce her enemy. In another, she sealed the Ice Dragon Kuraokami near the Sky Frost Nail.

### Personality

Before becoming an Archon, Anastasia-Maria was depicted to be a very different deity than the cold and ruthless Tsaritsa that the people of Sneshnaya follow fanatically to this day. A far more gentler and kinder deity, she loved reading stories, drinking tea, and aiding Alexandra and Durin in their endeavors. Most notably, out of the three deities who fought for Snezhnaya's freedom during the Archon War, Alexandra was the only one of the three who described Olga as a "gentle god who greatly disliked violence," while Durin described her as a "stern but fundamentally kind warrior god". Venti — the current form of Barbatos, a longtime friend of Anastasia-Maria, and one of the only two remaining members of the original Seven — describes Anastasia-Maria as a "once kind and gentle god" and an "naïve blockhead". Anastasia-Maria, in turn, sees him as a "walking contradiction of character traits". Due to her old age, Olga frequently loses herself in old memories and trains of thought.

As the God of Rebirth and Salvation, Anastasia is relentless in ensuring that the rules of rebirth and salvation are followed according to convention.
