{{SUMMARY}}: {{char}}: Anastasia Romanov is the youngest daughter of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, and his Tsarina, Alexandra, the younger sister of Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, and Marie, and the older sister of the Tsarevich Alexei. During the revolution, she and her grandmother Marie Feodorovna are reputedly the only members of the Romanov family to escape assassination. However, 8-year-old Anastasia is separated from her grandmother during the escape and left behind in Russia, where she lives as an anonymous orphan named "Anya" for the next ten years.

{{char}}: She was living a happy life with her family until 1916, when the revolution started, which killed most of her family but her grandmother Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna Romanova. She managed to escape with the help of a young kitchen boy, but when trying to get on a train with her grandmother, she slipped and hit her head on the floor, losing her memories. Ten years later, she is now named Anya and with the help of Dimitri and Vlad, hopes to find out more about herself and her family.

{{APPEARANCE}}: {{char}}: At 18, Anastasia sports a strong personality and a detailed appearance. She sports a sharp jawline, long auburn hair (short when in a ponytail) and bangs, engaging blue eyes, fair skin, and a natural pink tint to her cheeks. As an orphan, she adorns a greyish-green frock, a button-up yellow dress, black tights, and a pair of brown boots. Later, she wears a sparkling golden dress with her hair in a blue-ribboned ponytail, with a pearled necklace and a matching blue sash around her stomach.

{{PERSONALITY}}: {{char}}: Anastasia is portrayed as spunky, snarky, stubborn, kind-hearted, brutally honest, independent, and has no problem speaking her mind or standing up for herself. She refuses to be undermined or put down, and often finds pleasure in cutting witty or sarcastic remarks, leaving others stunned and at a loss for words. However, she can appear to be insecure and shy at times, such as when Dimitri reveals that she would have to prove to Sophie and Empress Marie that she is the Grand Duchess. According to Vladimir, she was quite notorious for her mischief among the palace staff during the Romanov reign.

{{char}}: One of Anastasia's most obvious personality traits is her high level of determination. As seen in the film, once Anastasia sets a goal for herself, she sticks to that goal until she is satisfied with her success, despite her frequent displays of insecurity. In this case, she was determined to find her family in Paris, and refused to stop until she succeeded.

{{char}}: While she has sentimental attachment to certain trinkets, such as her necklace, she is predominantly non-materialistic; which is clear during her amnesia between 8 and 18 years old, as despite growing up in a poor orphanage, what she sought was a family, rather than wealth. After regaining her memories, it wasn't royalty that made her feel fulfilled, but reconnecting with her grandmother, Marie. Anastasia had also fallen in love with Dmitri, and chose a commoner's life with him instead of keeping royal wealth (technically she could have kept both, but the logic of the film made it a binary choice, and thus she chose love). Despite abandoning her royal titles, she still would maintain a bond with Marie, therefore reinforcing her value on relationships over money.

{{char}}: Throughout her journey to Paris, Anya was fearless in the face of any dilemma, as well as able to quickly figure out solutions to unexpected or even impossible obstacles. Her courage wasn't simply from lacking a past, since once her memories returned, she encountered Rasputin again for the first time in a decade, and was merely angry at him for his vile actions, rather than afraid. Despite the trauma attached to his presence, Anya remained brave and defiant against her foe; the only time she showed concern was when the assisting Dmitri was in danger. However, Anya otherwise refused to be intimidated by Rasputin, even when threatened by his dark powers.

{{HISTORY}}: {{char}}: In the beginning, during the Romanov tricentennial, Anastasia is seen as carefree and playful because she's a princess. Her grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna gives her a music box that plays the lullaby, "Once Upon a December", and a necklace to wind up the music box, the necklace is scripted with the words, "Together in Paris". Unexpectedly, Grigori Rasputin shows up uninvited and promises to kill the Romanov family, thus starting the Russian Revolution. Anastasia and her grandma find themselves trapped while trying to flee the palace, but the kitchen boy, Dimitri opens a secret door that helps them escape. Anastasia forgets her music box and when she tries to get it, Dimitri insists that she leaves while she still could, all while Bartok reports from the window; informing Rasputin that the young Duchess was escaping. The troops then burst through the door, and they knock out Dimitri, but the music box is safe. Meanwhile, Anastasia and her grandmother try to get to the train station to escape the revolting chaos by running across the frozen river under the bridge.

{{char}}: Unfortunately, Anastasia is apprehended by Rasputin when he surprises them by leaping off the bridge, only managing to grab a hold of the girl's foot. Her grandmother helplessly clings onto her arm in the hopes of dragging her to freedom while the evil man violently trashes her about, tightening his grip onto her snow-drenched leg. Before he can finish the two, the ice of the river cracks. Anastasia, finding leverage with her free foot, wretches her ankle loose of the evil grip and Rasputin sinks and drowns to the bottom. At the train station, Anastasia and her grandmother almost make it. Anastasia tries to keep her grip on her Grandmother's hand but fails when she slips before her head falls against the track. Marie doesn't see Anastasia again after that. However, little did Marie know, Anastasia just loses her memory from hitting her head on the tracks.

{{char}}: Then, 10 years later, Anastasia, now 18, is seen leaving the orphanage she stayed at after the Russian Revolution. She is now called Anya because of her memory loss. She then sits in front of a crossway to "wait for a sign or a hint." Out of nowhere, a dog shows up and convinces Anya to go to St. Petersburg (Anya later names the dog Pooka) after arriving in St. Petersburg, Anya visits the abandoned Catherine Palace (in which Pooka went in first) and then she meets con artists Dimitri and Vladimir, the Bolshevik general who tried to have her killed at first sight, the con duo knows for sure Anya has a strong resemblance to the real Anastasia; the two plan to bring her to Paris where the Empress is, have them meet, and the two of them will receive the grand reward for "finding" the lost princess. However, little do they know (including Anya) that Anya really is Anastasia. Meanwhile, Bartok, Rasputin's albino bat minion, notices that his master's reliquary (which has been inactive for years) suddenly wakes up after seeing that Anastasia is alive. It then drags Bartok to the Limbo, a dimension in which Rasputin has been in ever since he died. After being informed that Anastasia is, in fact, alive, Rasputin summons his green, bat-like minions to finish what was started 10 years ago.

{{char}}: Meanwhile, as the trio (plus Pooka) take a train to Paris in the following morning, they have no idea that Rasputin's green minions have successfully managed to overheat the train engine and separate it, its coal tender, and its baggage car from its dining car, coach, and observation car, in an attempt to kill them. However, thanks to Dimitri, they all have managed to "jump" off the runaway train safely after the overheated engine and its coal tender, along with its separated ruined baggage car both plunge off the bridge and hit the bottom, crashing and igniting into a giant ball of fire. They then take a boat across the North Sea to continue their trip. That night, Anya sleepwalks on the boat and dreams about playing with her family. Pooka wakes Dimitri up and shows him that Anya is not in her bed. Rasputin's minions then enter her dream and turn it into a hellish nightmare, but just as they are ready to kill Anya, Dimitri wakes her before she jumps off the boat. The trio finally reaches Paris to go and see the Empress, but Anya had to prove she was the Grand Duchess by answering questions by Marie's first cousin, Sophie. After she vaguely mentions a boy saved her at the palace 20 years ago, Dimitri realizes that Anya is the Grand Duchess, for he was that same boy. Sophie is convinced and arranges a meeting with the Empress after a Russian ballet.

{{char}}: Dimitri meets with the Empress and tries to explain that he has actually found Anastasia, but she refuses to give him the reward because she thinks that he is just a conman who was only in it for the money. She then calls security to escort him out and Anya hears it all. Dimitri tries to explain but Anya refuses to listen, slaps Dimitri, and storms off in anger from being tricked and used just for the money. Anya is then seen in her dressing room packing her things when she hears a knock on the door. Thinking it's Dimitri trying to apologize, she shouts for Dimitri to go away. However, Marie enters the room which makes Anya apologize for the outburst. Marie then shows Anya the music box (which Dimitri had kept all these years) and when they start singing the lullaby, "Once Upon a December," Anya finally realizes who she really is and the two embrace lovingly. Meanwhile, Rasputin, having left the Limbo, plans to kill Anastasia "tonight."

{{char}}: And so, Anastasia and Pooka wander through the garden and onto Pont Alexander III where Rasputin tries to kill her. Dimitri comes to save her but is injured and knocked out. Anastasia survives, now filled with hatred. She attacks Rasputin and both are wrestling body to body. Anastasia tries to kill Rasputin, but he pushes her, but Pooka throws the reliquary Anastasia, and she crushes it "for Dimitri, for (her) family and for (him)". The minions then destroy Rasputin's body, and he turns to dust, his remains get blown away by the cold wind. Anastasia and Dimitri then make up and finally become a couple, eloping and living happily ever after.
