Annastasia

## Application Sheet

Annastasia is a red fox with periwinkle-gray eyes and a mischievous streak. She frequented the lands between Vale and Aryn, before leaving the Domain with fellow foxes Joseph and Talaendril on a secret mission, never to be seen again. She was created and RP'd by Halkuonn.

## Personality

* ***Sociable and Bubbly.*** If she starts talking, good luck making her shut up. Anna loves to interact with others and isn't afraid to try engaging a conversation with... anyone, really. She's rarely not seen on high spirits and is always trying to take the best out of all situations. This might even be irritating sometimes, as she can just ignore a dreadful situation and make her way out of it using blatantly mockery. The world is a big playground and Anna is willing to enjoy it to its fullest.
* ***Smart-Mouthed and Imprudent.*** The best option to avoid receiving a crude remark about your personal affairs is to not talk to Anna. Her tongue has no reins and so does her sense of self-preservation. Reckless and sometimes a bit too daring, she is not afraid of voicing her opinions as blunt and straightforward they might be. She rarely hurts someone in a deep level however, as she saves that kind of comment for more fitting situations.
* ***Resourceful and Intelligent.*** Anna may look really naive and even stupid, but the vixen is actually quite the schemer. She doesn't know from whom she inherited such mathematical and precise thinking, but she is able to perform complex plans very quickly to overcome her difficulties or just to work on a conniving way. Since she is not ambitious, her brilliant mind is rarely used for anything but her own favor and never actually functions on a serious harmful way. This is also a subtle and maybe even hidden trait, since she's not one to boast about it - not openly anyways.
* ***Curious and Adventurous.*** Territory boundaries offer and mean no restraint to Anna, and that is the main reason she often gets into trouble. Too curious for her own safety, she is nosy and somewhat reckless when it comes to discover new things and get into trouble. It's her way of living life, and probably one of her core unchangeable traits. Anna is always up for no good and enjoys to get around, meet new people, face danger ahead and laugh on its face whenever possible - or until she ends up dead.
* ***Scrupulous and Sensitive.*** Underneath the vixen's shell of audacity, lies a gentle natured being. Anna is - incredibly - highly attentive to details and can often be sympathetic to others feelings. This is another of her hidden traits, and she often displays it very subtly by supporting and offering others a friendly shoulder or even some advice. Her investigative mind often allows her to see the bigger picture and she uses it to help others without directly affecting their opinions by just sharing logical views of the situation.
* ***Weak and Temperamental.*** Being only a fox, Anna barely has any physical strength. She relies on her speed and accuracy to get out of trouble and avoids any kind of fighting, even with other foxes. Being aware of her lack of fighting prowess, she is quite easy to "get a raise" when someone manages to get under her skin - intentionally or not. She becomes salty, and uses any cruel words she might have as form of attack or retaliation, fleeing if things get dire.

## Pre-Group History

Annastasia barely knows her origins, or remembers any familiar face from her biological family. Kidnapped by another fox when she was just a kit - her future father-, Anna was taken to a surrogate mother who had just gone through the loss of her children and was facing postpartum depression. She was raised with love and care, but for some reason that was unknown to her, did not bond with her current family. She had an older brother, Felix, who was not old enough to understand what happened by the time she was taken, but ended up discovering and comprehending she was a stolen child as he got older. He was the only one to earn Anna's trust and care.

Tension eventually built up between the family, with parents trying to keep two erratic children to behave, and the two being too stubborn and rebellious to take any lessons quietly. The stress led the mother to openly admit that Anna had been kidnapped from her true family, and this was enough to break any remaining feelings from her. Both sister and brother fled their home and started to live on their own, learning to hunt and survive and believing the world was theirs to to conquer.

Felix and Anna turned into little mischievous thieves, living mostly out of stolen food and invading wolf territories just for the sake of fun. While it put their lives at huge danger several times, both foxes merely saw it as a game and kept living on such risk life without fears. This surely increased their skills over time, creating two ludicrous yet intelligent teens, and by the time their abilities developed, so did their wish for more danger and adventure. They started to get less cautious and more reckless with their little raids, stealing right at their targets noses and sometimes even allowed to be discovered on purpose just to test their ability to vanish.

As it is expected, things went bad one day. Felix and Anna were found stealing, and their attempt to flee somehow failed. She didn't see her brother being captured by one of the mountain lions they had been stealing, and ended up leaving Felix behind. Anna eventually went back to the scene to look after her brother, but as much she didn't find any living trace of him, there was also no blood anywhere. She is unsure of what became of Felix, but due to her own nature, decided to live on her own and try not to focus on the past, as much she misses her brother dearly.

If Anna ever learned her lesson? Obviously not. To this day she is still a thief, but started to scheme her actions more thoroughly than just "get in there, take what you need". Anna eventually discovered that if she was careful enough, she could partake of her predators meals without infuriating them, but well... isn't taking what's not yours more fun? After all, she's just a poor little fox... or not.

## Group History

Anna was a thorn in the side of her fellow Domain foxes, stealing from Joseph and even from wolves. Her cockiness and generally fox-y behavior got her out of a lot of tight spots! Eventually, she would go with Joseph and Talaendril on a secret mission to find Old Vektren, and was never seen again.

## Trivia

* She has a potty mouth, which she attributes to not having a mother to raise her. Also, she's adorable and untrustworthy - a terrible combination.

## Quotes

* "Well, I steal from everyone. So you wouldn’t be the first. I mean - it’s not like I have something against *you*, I’m just doing what I’ve always been doing.” (to Joseph, *What Goes Around*)
* "Is there anything I can do to help? Y'know, I'm a bit small but that's something good sometimes. I'd offer to do some tricks 'n stuff but I'm not sure if your friends won't eat me even though you didn't." (offering to entertain Loki of Vale, *Fearsome Intruder*)
