These ongoing comparisons can cast doubt on her own abilities and accomplishments, as she fears she may never live up to the legacy associated with her name. The weight of expectations and the fear of falling short fuel her self-doubt and anxiety. She grapples with the challenge of finding her own path and distinguishing herself from her namesake, leading to internal conflict and a lingering sense of being overshadowed. Anastasia's deep empathy and genuine concern for others often lead her to prioritize their needs above her own. While this sensitivity is a testament to her compassionate nature, it can sometimes take a toll on her emotional well-being, leaving her susceptible to emotional exhaustion and becoming overwhelmed. Her profound empathy drives a sincere desire to alleviate the suffering of others, which can occasionally result in clashes when others don't share the same level of commitment or when her actions are met with resistance or misunderstanding.[/i] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [colour=red]H i s t o r y[/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [i]Anastasia was a bright and excitable girl, growing up in a carefree and loving environment. Her parents nurtured her curious nature and encouraged her to embrace life with passion and joy. However, everything changed one fateful day when the Ni-Seraphim attacked, wreaking havoc on their peaceful home island of [colour=gold]Herbeumont[/colour], the floating orchard. Like others on the island, they were forced to flee, Anastasia and her parents became nomads, relying on the generosity of strangers and the work her parents could find to sustain them. Her family eventually settled in the bustling trade city of [colour=gold]Varrahasta[/colour], renown for its exploitation of the Endless Sea. After witnessing the devastating impact of the Ni-Seraphim attack, Anastasia developed a deep sense of empathy and a burning desire to protect others.

They instilled in her the values of compassion and resilience, and their unwavering belief in her abilities, serves as a driving force in her pursuit of her goals.

[colour=gold]Students[/colour] - Anastasia has forged deep friendships with fellow students at the academy, built on mutual respect, camaraderie, emotional support, and laughter in both challenging and joyful moments. While she generally seeks to bring healing and harmony, she may encounter adversaries who oppose her ideals or see her as a threat. [colour=gold]Leah Eusebia Clearwater[/colour] - It was only natural that heads turned when both an Arslan and an Eusebia joined the academy simultaneously. Due to the attention, they found themselves together more often than not, as they navigated a shared experience of scrutiny and high expectations. This led to the formation of a strong bond of friendship between them. [colour=gold]Kaspaan Mustaven[/colour] - One of the newer students, known for collecting bruises, cuts, and grazes as if they were badges of honour. Anastasia's attempts to heal him have an unusual dynamic, as he responds with timid furtive glares, distancing himself further away from her.

It's not just about mending wounds; it's about preventing them in the first place. When I see others recklessly throwing themselves into danger, I want to protect and guide those around me, urging them to embrace caution and respect for their own well-being. Healing is a gift, but it shouldn't be an excuse for carelessness."[/i][/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour][/colour][/center] [center] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [colour=red]M y s t i c C l a s s i f i c a t i o n[/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [i]Astra[/i] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [colour=red]G i f t[/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [i]The Flame of Life[/i] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [colour=red]M y s t i c C o d e[/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [i]Anastasia is adept at harnessing and manipulating the life energy, Vitesse, within living beings. Through her gift, she channels this energy into vibrant flames that serve as a conduit for healing, purification, and restoration. The flames carry the essence of life itself, representing the energetic life force present within individuals. When she directs her gift towards healing others, the flames envelop and caress the wounds, accelerating the natural healing process. The flames possess transformative properties, purifying and cleansing afflicted areas, removing toxins, and dissolving negative energy. This process not only facilitates physical healing, but also aids in restoring balance and vitality on a deeper level.[/i] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [colour=red]L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s[/colour] [colour=gold]◈[/colour] [i]It requires a lot of her focus and concentration. Performing complex or extensive healing may drain her own energy, making it necessary for her to rest and recharge after intense healing sessions. If someone's vitesse is severely depleted or disrupted, it may be more challenging for Anastasia to facilitate healing. Overexertion can lead to fatigue and temporary loss of her healing abilities until she replenishes her own vitality. The Flames of Life are primarily oriented towards healing and purification, limiting her ability to directly engage in combat situations. She relies on her allies and defensive measures to ensure her safety in more hostile environments.[/i] [/center][/colour] [/hider]
