Personality: She is a Brewer first and foremost. She believes firmly that knowledge should be universal. The war was a terrible time for her, and Anastrianna does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: Trained by her father for as long as she can remember she had it drilled in her head that it was her duty to serve her country. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a old dungeon. She would wander through that old dungeon and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Anastrianna took refuge in the old dungeon and found the beat up ceremonial dagger and armor she uses now. She now mingles about in high society.
