History: The most accurate representation of Russian history there ever was.
Appearance: Here you are.
Personality: The first thing that’s important to note about Anastasia’s character is her drive to find her family and home. This is her driving motivation throughout the film. Having no memories, she grew up in an orphanage, most likely dreaming of the family she somehow left behind the entire time, with only her locket to give her a clue as to who she might be. As important as her search for family is her search for her own identity, and she believes that finding her family will fulfill this need as well. Her main focus in the movie is this journey for fulfillment - to the past, as it were. It's obvious that she feels more strongly about this than anything else in her life - even after she had fallen in love with Dimitri, she still nearly chose her grandmother over him, before realizing she could have both.

However, despite her uncertainty about who she really is, ‘Anya’ is still an incredibly strong, independent woman. She’s very spirited, doesn’t tolerate nonsense, and has a tendency to get sarcastic and scolding towards people she isn’t fond of. She can even be cynical at times. Likewise, she has no problems taking control of a situation when the need arises, and she’s both intelligent and confident. In addition to being intelligent, she's naturally inquisitive and curious about many things - her past, for one, and the world at large. Even beyond this, she can hold her own even in situations that require more than intelligence, showing courage and resilience in the face of crisis. However, she isn’t above self doubt or fear, as shown when she tells Vlad she sees ‘a skinny little nobody with no past and no future’ when she sees herself in the water, and when she cries in Dimitri's arms after the nightmare sequence. Even so, kind words can quickly snap her out of thoughts such as that, and it doesn't take much to make her believe in herself once more.

In addition to her focus on family and her strength, she’s optimistic and idealistic. Despite growing up in an orphanage with only one clue as to her identity, she continued to believe that her family was alive and waiting for her. The fact that she lived in an orphanage also leads me to believe that she led a very sheltered life, and interacted with other children in the orphanage for the most part. Life in the castle, though she doesn't remember it at the canon point I'm taking her from, was likely also very sheltered. Furthermore, she’s easily led into believing she could be a princess, despite the fact that she knew it was unlikely. This shows how she can be naive and easily trusting. She’s also very excitable at times, such as when she finds out they’ll be going to a ballet in Paris. She's also very impulsive; instead of going to the factory where her caretaker got her a job, she followed a dog down the opposite road, taking it as a sign from up above. This hints at her belief in the spiritual, as well.

For the majority of the movie, the harshest we see of her is a sarcastic and scolding side; however, at the end of the film, her drive for revenge shows itself. She's able to kill Rasputin with no regrets, armed with the knowledge that he killed most of her family and robbed her of a normal childhood. So, when faced with people who are unquestionably evil, she doesn't show mercy. However, she can change her mind about people she isn't fond of at first. A prime example of this would be Dimitri, who she falls in love with by the end of the film. Even with Dimitri, however, she's extremely angry when she finds out he lied to her. Both of these situations show how she has an extremely negative reaction to being wronged.
Abilities: Anya possesses no superhuman abilities, but what she does possess is resourcefulness, bravery, intuition, luck, and strength.
