Anastasia Banks

Anastasia Banks is a student in The City. Ostracized from her classmates due to her strangeness she spends most of her time alone.

## Personal History

She born in Russia and left in a church baby box. She spent her very early years in state care. She was three when she was adopted by the Banks family after they discovered they wouldn't be able to have a child of their own blood.

She befriended her neighbor Mark and the two were very close. She called him her best friend. They'd play together and talk a lot.

Unfortunately when they were ten Mark quit being her friend for reasons she still doesn't understand. It was shortly after his mother's death so she figured maybe the grief did something to him. But she's never been sure.

She was bullied in middle school due to her disabilities. And unfortunately the teachers nor parents did anything to stop it.

Highschool started and while her creative ventures were keeping her together, she still was scared as middle school had been bad enough to her. And some of the words she got thrown at her made her want to cry, but she wouldn’t, why bother? She did however cry when it became clear that Mark had moved on from her and that she was alone.

She’s okay now, still lonely and still the odd one out. But she is planning to go to university to get an english degree with a social studies minor. And she is planning out her first books, a fiction one about a girl living in a small town and a poetry book. She can distract herself for the moment.

## Personality

She is a strange and quiet girl with surprisingly in depth thoughts about society, philosophy, and life as a whole. She is unafraid to share her wisdom though she does have a tendency to be vague and leave things out, especially when she feels like it would help the person develop. She is not out going but by no means is she a wallflower either, she talks to people plenty it’s just she isn’t friends with most of them. But some like her kindness and gentleness present in any talk with her.

She is highly insecure of her physical and mental traits. Only really her creativity is safe from her self deprecation. She internalized a lot from her childhood and teenage years which wrecked her sense of self worth. She ‘understands’ why people don’t hang around her and prefer others to her and she can’t really be mad for them picking ‘better’ than her.

She is very spacey and has the tendency to dissociate from reality or experience bouts of unreality. She also can get lost in her thoughts or convince herself that something unlikely or impossible is possible.

She is quite modest and holds herself to carry herself with grace. She is well mannered and very rarely acts out. However it can be hard to tell what her sensitive soul is feeling as she tends to hide that quite well, she rather not bother anyone with it.

## Powers

### Magical Attacks

Using her wand she can make bolts of magical energy and fire them at her foes.

### Constructs

She can create up to three physical constructs in the physical plane, they look, feel, and act like how the real object would but the are tied to her energy levels and if she wills it they will disappear, also if she is knocked out or dies they will be gone. While in a dream she can do far more depending on the person.

### Illusions

This is just another use of the above power. Instead of giving the object matter or weight she can just make the image, which is far cheaper to do. She can have up to 10 Illusions going on at once.
