## Personality

A young, quiet, but kind woman. Anya does not have much luck in social situations and tends to keep to herself, but will do what she can to make others happy, even if she doesn't understand how to. She is honest about her feelings to a fault, and is not good at holding back her opinions when she is asked.

When feeling anxious, she tends to raise her scarf over her mouth and play with it.

She is very reserved about her past, not even using a real name in conversation when first meeting people. She is also shy around new people and likes to hide behind those she trusts when possible.

## Known History

### Military Service

Anastasia was tested for magical potential at age 11 and was pulled into military service under the Mage Conscription act.

As a member of the Commonwealth Defence Force, she served as a private and later a Chosen Man in the Northern Army, 3rd Regiment, 95th Rifles, Border Watch. She fought at many prominent battlefields along the Northern Border, and was awarded the Order of the Common, Third Class following her exploits during the Breach of Torsmaech. She was later made the Ordinaret of a lieutenant, later captain, of the Border Watch.

### Exile

After returning to be sentenced for going AWOL, she was exiled to the New World as her punishment.

She took this in stride and after meeting with an old friend, decided she wanted to become the first New World chef, because she likes food. She joined the Hunter's Chance in the new world under the name "Nomad", and soon gained a reputation for being a guide, using her Border Watch training to access many areas others couldn't.

She eventually acquired enough money to purchase a motorbike, but at some point, her motorrad was damaged in a fight and she had to continue her journey on-foot while leaving the bike in the hands of a friend to repair.

She partnered with Lucien Evans and Vincent Baudeleire on a mission to find missing settlers, during which she met with the Keyholders and would soon form a friendship, offering to serve them as a guide to their destination- the Royaume settlement of Gaiapolis.

### The Keyholders

As she began to travel with this group, she got closer to them and enjoyed their company a great deal.

She would explore a number of locations with them, including the temple at Gaiapolis and the Scarpath Mountains, serving as a guide due to her knowledge of the New World.

She got into several scrapes with them along the way, meeting up with their new friends and even developing some confused feelings for Sen, the Dragonborn of the group.

Eventually, after exploring a temple with the gorup, it was time to separate. She had a heartfelt goodbye, and was requested by Kurald Rake to keep an eye on things for them, and meet up in some time, should the situation change. She agreed, promising to keep an eye on the prince, his aides, and the Cartel.

She returned three weeks later with the news tha a minor Skirmish had broken out between the Royaume and the Commonwealth. Although casualties were few, the nations had placed their militaries on high alert.

When the party parted ways with Sen, she stayed with the group, promising to keepwatch over them for the time being.
