Bio
Anastasia was born on the 19th of May 2067 to Herbologists Natalya and Mikhail Konstantinov. She was their third child, and had an older brother, Sasha, and sister, Liza, who were five at the time of her birth. However, not long after her birth her parents divorced and at age two her mother married Alexei Artemyev before giving birth to her two younger siblings, Vaska and Katya. During this time both Anastasia and her older siblings continued to live with their father and all three siblings attended Durmstrang.

Anastasia, being closest in age to her younger siblings, had a great deal of contact with her mother and her new family, however she rarely stayed with her mother and was for all intents and purposes a daddy’s girl. This changed when Anastasia was 12 as her father died after being bitten by a Black Mamba while the family was on vacation in South Africa, as they were unable to get to a hospital in time.

After that Ana was left in her mothers care and was forced to change schools as her step-father, a Magizoologist, was working in France at the time. The next year the family moved to Japan, which meant another change of school. A pattern which has continued for Ana’s fifth year, however she’s hopeful that this will be the last move as her step-father has promised her mother to stay in England for more than a year in order for she and her younger siblings to have a greater amount of consistency and stability in their schooling.

Anastasia is perhaps the most level-headed of her siblings with both Sasha and Liza inheriting her fathers fiery temper and being quick to anger, while Vaska and Katya are often intemperate and greatly spoilt by their father. Ana however, while having a quite dangerous temper when provoked is slow to anger, showing more of her mothers temperament than any of her siblings do. She is also more patient, content to wait and plot for what she wants if she must. She is also the one who adapted the best to her parent’s divorce, likely because she was too young at the time to really remember her parents being together, unlike Sasha and Liza. This could also be because Ana felt the most welcome in her mothers new family with her step-father always proving willing to accommodate Ana and her needs when she wanted to be with her mother, while he proved less welcoming to her older siblings, perhaps because they were never happy to be around him and tended to avoid him at all times. Ana was never slow to show affection to her step-father though and so in her youth she was the one more likely to visit and go on holidays with them, while her older siblings would always stay with her father, even when invited on a trip by their mother.

That being said Ana struggled greatly after her fathers death, as while she’d always felt loved by her mother, and shared a great deal with her and with her step-father, she’d always felt the safest and most at home in her father’s arms. This led to her rebelling quite a bit after his death, especially when she learned that she’d have to leave her beloved home behind to move to France and that she’d have to change schools. This led to some rather violent arguments with her mother and step-father, resulting in Ana feeling as though she was quite alone in the world as Sasha and Liza, being 17 at the time, did not have to move in with their mother and were instead away at university, and with Vaska and Katya simply unable to understand the grief that Ana was experiencing, having luckily never lost anyone in their lives. After six months with her grief showing no signs of abating she was sent to see a counsellor and was diagnosed with depression. She has since received treatment for the condition and is doing much better, although she still has times when she succumbs to her melancholy.

She is much happier since starting Hogwarts though as during her fifth year she was able to make quite a few friends and felt like she finally found her footing again. Ana has begun to look forward to school again, taking her education fairly seriously now that she's closer to being an adult, and has found that Hogwarts is a better fit school wise than others she's been too. Ana was also happy when she was told that the family was moving back to Russia, meaning she'd hopefully get to spend more time with her older siblings, but that she wouldn't have to change schools.
