[atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,3,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=valign, top][atrb=style] ANASTASIA TWENTY-TWO INNER SENSHI DEMISEXUAL | ☽back to basics NAME: Anastasia Valentinovna Lazareva NICKNAMES: Ana but not Anya. BIRTHDAY AND AGE: January second / Twenty-two years old. GENDER: Female OCCUPATION: Barista at your favorite hole-in-the-wall coffeehouse. Grad student at NYU (Cinema studies). Judo enthusiast. CANON/ORIGINAL: Canon ☽personality LIKES: Ana is very much a dog person, and owns a pitbull/australian shepherd mix called Leonard Nimoy (he answers to Nemo). Working in an independent coffee shop gives her a chance to be a bit of a coffee snob, and she is a huge fan of imported beans - the more obscure and exotic the better. A voracious reader, Ana can usually be found with the latest bestseller loaded onto her iPad, but has a secret fondness for spy novels and superhero comics. If a city doesn’t have a science museum, it’s not a city Ana wants to live in. Growing up in an immigrant neighborhood, Ana developed a taste for global cuisine - she’s not a picky eater, and the spicier the food is, the better. Ana is a big fan of both the folk and anti-folk music scenes. DISLIKES: Ana can’t stand bland food, because if she’s going to count calories then they’re going to be delicious. Same goes for her coffee - if it comes from Starbucks, it’s inferior, and “blonde roast” is an abomination. She’s not a particularly confident driver, especially in heavy traffic, and prefers to carpool or take public transit whenever possible. Ana takes pride in controlling the playlist during her shift, objects to any music that sounds like “a toddler banging on pots and pans,” and has sworn a personal vendetta against Radiohead. Jittercam is of the devil and any director who thinks filming in it is a good idea deserves to be taken out back and shot. PERSONALITY: Ana conducts herself pretty seriously, at least in part to combat her short stature and youngish appearance. She is responsible by nature, good with deadlines and juggling tasks and getting things done. To this end, she is assertive and a little bit rough around the edges - Ana is quick to confront others over what she perceives as their shortcomings and doesn’t believe in sugar-coating. While she won’t argue with having to pick up other people’s slack, she will expect to collect on the favor later and is known to hold grudges. She prefers fair trades over unjustified altruism. Ana’s sense of humor is wry and understated. She makes heavy use of sarcasm, double-entendres, and innuendos, and is oftentimes surprisingly frank, verging into vulgar. While sex holds very little interest to her personally, Ana is comfortable making filthy jokes and inappropriate observations about the behavior of those around her. Being an analytical sort of person, Ana has a tendency to hold people and situations at an arm’s length and try to figure them out before letting them get close to her. She can come off as aloof with new acquaintances, but with enough prolonged interaction isn’t terribly resistant to letting people into her inner circle. She tends to regard most new experiences as a sort of science experiment and is a little bit of a control freak - Ana likes to be in control of her body and her reactions, which means taking things slow and feeling them out. ☽the past HISTORY: Ana is the eldest of three siblings and the only one born prior to the fall of the Soviet Union and her parents’ move from Yekaterinburg to Los Angeles. She is reluctant to identify as an immigrant, as her parents are both well-educated intellectuals and Ana doesn’t think her experience matches up with what most Soviet refugees went through. Encouraged by her parents, Ana excelled in academics as a child and earned a scholarship to UCLA, where she studied film. Realizing that she is more attracted to the scholarly side of the industry, she picked up and moved to New York City to pursue a masters degree, as well as the starving hipster lifestyle. ☽the puppet master your name/alias: Silv your age: Twenty country/time zone: EST face claim: Molly Quinn how you found us: Romeo sent me! |
