The fourth daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and Empress Alexandra. Anastasia is outgoing, inquisitive and does whatever she wants (such as sneaking out from the palace in night and stealing snacks). However, Anastasia is the only one in her family who is suspicious of her father's adviser, Grigori Rasputin. When he frames Yuri and party for controlling Anastasia and forcing her to attempt murder on her little brother Alexei, she joins forces with Yuri to stop Rasputin. Anastasia is determined to save her motherland of Russia.

Anatasia wields an egg that she can guide to hit her enemies or use magic and a camera (created by her friend Edgar, the watchmaker), and can use her Snapshot ability to get information on enemies and in some cases learn the abilities of them.

Anastasia's Element is Water.

Info

First entry:
"Fourth princess of the Romanov dynasty her cute appearance belies her devilish personality. She is determined to save her motherland of Russia."

Second entry:
"After Yuri and friends had saved Anastasia from a monster and the destruction of the idar flamme, Anastasia decides to join Yuri and friend on the rest of their adventure."

Personality

Outgoing and inquisitive, Anastasia is very childish, often doing things like sticking out her tongue. She is also very knowledgeable on the Russian alphabet, which was proved when traveling in the Gallery of the Dead. She enjoys kicking Joachim or one time Blanca in the leg when they think she's doing something stupid. She also has a special bond with her younger brother Alexei and enjoys shopping souvenirs and gifts for him and her father, who she addresses as "Daddy". She has a crush on Kurando and will do anything for him to make him like her or feel good. His mother, Saki, encourages her to continue to love him and gives her the Autumn Kimono as a gift.

Appearance

Anastasia wears a dark blue dress which ends at her knees with long coat. Her coat is aqua blue with fluffy and long white hem, cuffs, and collar which ends at her shoulders. Her coat is buttoned by one pearl button at the top of the coat, and a long white handkerchief ruffled in several places is hung at her neck. On her feet are white high heels with blue ribbons tying them. Her brown hair is tied into two braid circlets ending at her temple, and on her head is a fluffy white basket hat with blue ribbons tied into two bows on the back.

Abilities

Before joining the group, Anastasia had little to no fighting capabilities. Her first piece of equipment is a camera which allows her to photograph monsters and enemies using "Snapshot" to find out their Hit Points and Element, allowing the player to plan their attacks accordingly. In some cases, the abilities of monsters may be captured along with the photograph and is stored in an album, where Anastasia can summon replicas of these monsters from the photographs to fight against their own. She can also use Crest Magic after joining the party and proves to be a relatively apt magician.
