The Beginning

Born to a small tribe long ago Anastasia was the older of two siblings. A younger brother Malik and sister Natalia. Her mother had died suddenly during her most recent childbirth when Ana was only ten years old leaving her and her two siblings in the care of their father.

Living in poverty she had to learn to survive off the land to provide for her two younger siblings and disabled father. At only sixteen she was the tribe's prodigy, she could bring down full grown animals from nearly one hundred yards away, she could find remedies for illnesses that were known to wipe out an entire village in less than a months' time. She was wise beyond her years, stronger than most, and valued by all. She was honored and protected by her people. By her seventeenth birthday there was talk of her becoming the youngest tribe elder in history.

Unbeknownst to the rest of her tribe Anastasia had even greater abilities beyond these. She could sense and see things that no ordinary person could. She had a vibrant energy around her, an energy she could channel and see what was to come. She had incredible clairvoyance and powers inexplicable by natural laws. She was what would later become to be known as a Psychic.

One summer her tribe was cursed with a terrible drought. For many months, they had not seen any rain despite their constant prayers. Taking matters into her own hands, Ana gathered her tribe in the center of the village and demonstrated one of her many secret talents. She had told her people that within three days' time their tribe would see a great storm bringing them out of their dark days. Some laughed, 'she was just a crazy little girl', no one believed her. When the third day rolled around the sky grew dark as the clouds rolled in releasing water that wouldn't stop for another week.

Instead of being worshipped for her great prediction, she was shunned. The villagers were now terrified of the powerful girl with the strange abilities. Even her own father grew fearful of her. What was once a great prodigy was now an even bigger threat. Thus, leading to her exile from the tribe.

After a long five days journey, she was cast away to sea. She spent even more time on the small water craft, slowly dying from dehydration and starvation. She had accepted her death. But to her surprise she had washed upon shore to a small island. For the next few years she would live alone surviving off the minimal plant and animal life.

One day another young girl by the name of Astrid washed upon shore with a similar story to her own. The two girls lived together for many years but they were careless and realized to survive they must use their strange abilities. With the two of their voices together they created a mesmerizing melody, one that lured sailors to their shores in passing by ships. After luring these unexpecting sailors to their island, Ana would take the flesh from their dead bodies and feed it to her new younger sister instead claiming it was from animals aboard the ships. It was the only way they were to survive.

After discovering her lies Ana's new sister was distraught, it was against the way of God in her eyes. After climbing to the top of the nearest cliff she attempted to take her own life. As Ana stood over her sister's bleeding and mangled body at the bottom of the canyon, a strange man appeared to the two of them with yet another similar story to their own.

Arcadis, a Psychic burned at the stake by his village long ago, Lucifer, the Devil, the creator of Hell. He made the two girls an offer, in trade for their allegiance to him, he would heal Astrid. They would have even greater powers than imaginable with the promise of immortality and eternal beauty. After agreeing, Arcadius slaughtered both children and took them back to Hell where he crafted their souls into much darker and dangerous beings. It was on that day that the first and only Sirens were created into existence.

During Arcadius' creation of the two girls he decided to do something much different with one. Anastasia. She changed both physically and mentally. Different from her sister, she was placed inside the vessel of a lycanthrope, later to become commonly known as the werewolf. She could wield the power of both her siren and wolf sides. She was a hybrid.

She came out of this transformation a completely different person. A new mindset, a new outlook, a new soul. The girl that once cared way too much about everything no longer cared at all. Arcadius had designed her to be a cold, apathetic killing machine. She would never feel a touch of remorse, empathy, or sadness for anyone or anything. Much like a robot she did not feel making her into a weapon unlike no other.

The two sirens thrived in the waters, lurking in its depths until called upon and dragging their pray down to feed upon. Never to be caught.

For centuries, Anastasia has been hunting the darkest of mankind, luring them into her grasp with her melodic voice, only to feed on their flesh and take them to Arcadius where he would damn them into an eternity of pain and torture as punishment for their sins. She is one of the most powerful creatures to walk this Earth, created from Hell itself.

She is like snow, beautiful but cold.
