Personality
Life is a game, and it’s all about how play it, as well as how you play the other players. Ana feels like that is the most important thing people should learn. Life sucked at first, but she got where she wanted to be, and she did it via manipulation, playing the game, and putting herself forward, and these are the things that define her personality. There is a part of Ana that plays the submissive well, and knows how to please in order to achieve her aims, while another part is just the bitch. She’s very two faced sometimes. She says it’s because she has to be though. No-one else is looking out for her, and letting people in truly just leads to pain in her experience, so she fakes it. Fake it until you make it.

Appearance
Standing at 5’6, Ana is a very average height, and that’s something she can cope with, and even enjoys sometimes. Her proudest feature is not her brown eyes, or her smooth skin, or perfectly tousled brunette waves, but her legs, which are long and toned, and often shown off when she can. She works hard to keep her body toned and slim, but to be fair, the active nature of her job does a lot for that without anything else.

Anastasia Volovich was born the third daughter to Bogdana and Stanislav Volovich in the Russian Orthodox community in Brighton Beach, to be followed by two brothers, and four more sisters. Life wasn’t easy for any of them, with their mother having a little too close a relationship with alcohol, and their father a gambler who liked loose women.

It was a good thing the children all had each other to protect, teach, and look after each other, or they would never have made it to adulthood. It was only with her older sisters she learnt to speak English considering that Russian was the first language in their household, and in turn she helped the younger ones with it. That comraderie they were forced to have was what made it so hard to do what she did at 18. Disillusioned with religion, and her life in general, it didn’t take much for Anastasia to get sucked in by the wrong people, and one of those was Dave Edwards. He was a little older than her, not from the same area, and most definitely not Russian, and she thought she was in love with him. Of course her parents hated him, but she didn’t care, so when she graduated high school, and he asked her to run away with him, get married, she did it.

Dave and Ana, as she decided to go by now, got married like they said, and lived with some of his friends in Boston, him working odd jobs, her working in a diner. It seemed so romantic at first. What was she thinking? Of course, it all went sour, Dave started cheating, although he got angry when she accused him, and then he got angry at other things, and everything turned violent. Ana felt bad for it, but when, after a year together, he died in a drunken car accident, for a moment she felt relief at being free of him. That was when she met his father, and his father was how she ended up at Pearson.

With help from Dr. Edwards (who turned out to be so much nicer to her than the person her husband described), Ana got into Pearson University as an inferiore, at the age of 20. The arrangement worked for her, and after four years, she graduated and qualified as a nurse, keeping in touch with her father-in-law as he helped her get a job, and she helped him overcome the boredom of his marriage and wife for a couple of years, before he lost interest for someone younger and better, and she moved on.

A couple of years ago she graduated from her Masters at John Hopkins, where she became a Nurse Practitioner over three years of part time study, aided by her employer. Again, she worked for a while, in her new position, but then got bored again, and as it just so happened, a position for a senior nurse opened at Pearson. How could she resist that? Ana applied, and somehow managed to land the job, and she couldn’t be happier to be back, and now as a Superiore. How fun!
