Overall Appearance:
Human
Anastasia is a striking young woman- well, as young as she looks, being over 150 years old. She is pale, but not overly so, small and lithe in build, although the ripple of muscle in her sleek arms isn't a trick played on your mind. Like all Felidae, she is strong, abnormally so, and at times isn't afraid to use it in order to assert her authority. Of which, she holds her head high and he back straight, physically voicing to all around her that, despite her tiny stature, she is in fact an authority figure to be reckoned with.
Felidae
In her Felidae form, Anastasia is a prime predator. The build of a Caracal is that of a strong feline, however, not built fully for brute strength. They're intelligent beasts, slim, lithe bodies, cropped tails, long legs used for propelling themselves at great speeds, golden coats, and large, black, tufted ears. Anastasia is much of your typical Caracal in that way. Her body is lithe and graceful, legs long and slender, ending in neat paws that hide deadly sharp claws. Her tail is short and fluffy, branching off from a long, sleek back and neck. Her head, perched along her neck, is topped by tall black ears, with equally black ear tufts sticking from the top, and her characteristically bright blue eyes. Unlike other caracals, however, her coat is more of a pale reddish gray colour, and although it doesn't cause her to severely stand out, it does make her more easily identifiable.
Scars/Deformities: One long, deep scar crossed her back
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
History: Born in the late 1800's, Anastasia came from a middle-class family. She had a happily little family, carving out a nice life in London, England. She, her mother, father, and two brothers lived in a quaint home at the edge of the city, and not a worry crossed their minds, that was, until their father was brutally murdered for reasons she wouldn't find out until she was much, much older. When she turned nine or so, her brothers, older by two years, and herself finally began to notice that they were different. Be it the cat like reflexes, the aversion to water, their curiosity to all that crawled, slithered or flew, they would soon find out just how different they were.
Coming home one day from their schooling, they found the door to their home ajar, the inside a mess- their mother, their only surviving parent, just gone. Of course there was panic, they were young, and alone. As if on cue, something they never quit caught on to a older man rescued them, promising them that their mother was fine, but they couldn't be with her anymore. This left them distraught, especially young Annie, but she put on her strong face, she would never be outdone by her older brother's. With time, they learned what they were, that they were not human, nor cat, they were Felidae. They were both. They also learned of their slow aging, and with time, they embraced their differences for themselves, although they began to note differences between each other. Annie wanted to use her power to bring pure law through good ways, Cedric wanted peace as well, through bloodshed, and Jasper wanted no part in any of it.
The old man, named Lucas Rowanoak, turned out to be Felidae as well, the oldest Felidae still alive. He told them stories of the old time, himself, and two other Felidae who acted as guardians to their kind. This fascinated all three children, whom he informed, being the three youngest at the time, when the Felidae species was still so young itself, they would grow with the species, and they would be the successors of the current Ancients. Once this had been accepted, they were assigned a discipline. Jasper would learn Telemancy, Cedric would learn Necromancy, and Anastasia would learn Lunomancy. And so, she thrived.
They moved to Seattle, Washington once the species came out of hiding, told the world what they truly were, to keep all else safe, they were the ones who scarified themselves for the humans to test on- but as they had enough and escaped, Annie knew they were also the reason other's were forced into the facility and tested on. Troubled, she gathered her brother's together, with a few other's, and begged them to help her free the captured Felidae- they of course, complied. It was their duty to the species. It was during this fight that she realized how different she was from her brothers, how different they were from her, and she also came to terms with why the sibling rivalry had been so bad between Cedric and her- they were complete opposites. In the aftermath of the battle, and the removal of the lab, she, much like Cedric, decided to remove herself from society, but quickly learned that would never be the answer, and after a good decade of solitude, finally decided to once again immerse herself into the world.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Personality: Anastasia follows her alignment well, doing good things for the greater good of the world and all that jazz. Through and through, she has no choice but to be the way she is. Long ago, when her and her brother's split into their respective alignments, she was the kindest of the three, the Lawful Good, although most would see her as being Neutral, or Chaotic good. Not that she'd mind, since frequently, she'll shift between the two. She's not afraid to do almost anything to show and assert authority, and she has a short temper to boot. It's not hard to tread her the wrong way, or to metaphorically stomp on her tail, but although she's aware of this, she refuses to acknowledge it other than with a snort and a glare, seeing as she won't let anyone else tell her this, and she will not change for anyone- not wanting to change it at all.
Although she easily can become lonely, she's very solitary, pretending to enjoy being alone, even when, even the slightest company, is a blessing in her eyes. She's a highly intelligent, albeit reserved person, who, unless you are close to her and on good standings, it's best to tread lightly with, although she'll be patient and try not to rip off your face- and she won't do anything irrational if you show common sense and some intelligence.
