Anita Erokhina

Anita was a nervous and indecisive wreck, who always sought after the approval of other people. She never knew if she was doing a good job or not, and her hesitancy left vacant room for her thoughts to change constantly. She wasn’t fond of social interactions either, save for a few quiet ones with close friends. Anita has long brown hair parted off the middle, and uses eyeliner on her lower eyelashes. She wears a muted dark blue beret, grey loose cardigan with a white collared shirt underneath, a long, muted dark blue pleated skirt, white socks and black Konberse shoes. Born into a family of mostly prestigious lawyers, Anita was the black sheep of the family. While her older siblings sought after the most reputable universities to study Law, she was drawn more to art and painting. Her parents thought it was merely a phase that she’ll grow out of, but over time, her love of painting only grew stronger. She would usually stay at school after classes were over, painting her thoughts and feelings away without a care in the world. She loved how she was able to express herself without verbal words or writing it down. Instead, she just used the paintbrush between her fingers. Most of her family had told her—one way or another—that choosing this path was useless and it’ll get her nowhere in life. Anita grew to resent her parents for being close-minded, for forcing her to become boxed in just like them. Most of her siblings were the same as their parents: intolerant and rigid, following a set path to an undesirable future. Anita wanted out as soon as she could. The only person in Anita’s life who supported her dream was her older brother Rodion Erokhin, who was a successful businessman. They had a close bond, with Rodion even funding whatever art supplies she needed in secret. It was one of those moments where she told herself that, no matter how many times she hesitated or doubted she was, she knew art was her passion, and no amount of convincing would change her mind.

When it came time for picking a course in university, Anita’s mother urged her to choose Law or Business, but she had defied her and chose Liberal Arts instead. This enraged her family, who never had someone say no to their wishes. They warned her that they wouldn’t fund her university if she pulled that stunt, but she didn’t care. She was choosing her own path for her own life. Most of her siblings turned their backs on her, which saddened Anita greatly. Even worse, Rodion had to play the “golden child” role in front of their parents and pretend to have disowned her too.

University life was hard on Anita. She had little to no friends she could talk to, so she spent her days alone in the art room, painting intricate portraits of animals. She had once painted a student’s pet parrot in almost 30 minutes, which impressed some students, including that of one fellow student named Lora Fokina. Despite their closed-off personalities, they surprisingly got along, being able to relate to one another easily. They would hang out in either the local library or the art room and just do their own respective hobbies next to each other. After classes, Lora would accompany Anita in selling her art on the streets as well as online, but she was barely scraping by with what little money she was earning.

She would soon be commissioned by managers at Ragged Wood Campgrounds to paint pictures to be hung inside the cabins. Despite meeting with different people at the camp during her visits there, Anita never clicked with any of them. To avoid feeling restless with strangers while she worked, she often dragged Lora along, much to her dismay. It was a nice and quiet location though, and soon she was invited by Lora to come back to camp out for the night with her own friends. At first, she would say no, even trying to make up an excuse about being busy that day. However, after some coaxing (and to not upset Lora), she begrudgingly went along. She had asked Rodion—who she still had contact with after all of these years—for some extra money. On that fateful night, Rodion had wired her the money late. He was fully expecting her to call back, and he would be ready to apologize to her.

She is the artist who painted all of the art in Campgrounds. She was included in the roster of the Campgrounds Bystanders replacing Petr Nazarov’s previous iteration as a Bystander. He now reappears as a Forester in the second wave. Anita would paint Lora mythical dragons for her stories to use as reference. She personally doesn’t really like dragons or painting them. She had a terrible sleep schedule; she would sleep in the early morning—between 3 and 4 AM—and only have a few hours of sleep. Five hours was her personal best.
