Anastasia lived in the small town of Pandora with her family parents Devon and Ivanna and her elder brother Dylan. Life in the Cross house was happy that was until the age of 9; when her father started to return home from work drunk lashing out at anyone who was close to him, Ana was always the one who pulled the short straw in her father’s temper. While her brother Dylan was lucky enough to avoid him; no matter what she did she just couldn’t manage to get out of the way fast enough to spare herself from his anger, though Dylan would always come to her aid telling her that everything will be alright and not to worry. However one night while lying in her bed she could hear her father coming; hiding under the blankets Ana hoped that he would just go to bed but he never did, instead he walked into Dylan’s room and the horrific thuds which came from that room scared her. When the thuds finally stopped Anastasia leaped from her bed and rushed to her brother’s aid like he always did for her, only to find him battered her father had finally done it he had finally taken things away too far for the young children.

The hate which grew inside of her that night was no bodies business her blood began to boil; knowing that one day she would get her father back for the pain he was causing on her brother and her, Anastasia decided she wanted to run away at the age of 10 not wanting her brother or her to suffer anymore. Ana tried to make her brother see sense however she knew he was right her idea was stupid, neither of them had a job or a single penny between them at that age. So they were going to be stuck living with this monster until they could finally run away to a much safer place. At the age of 11 that was when Anastasia had finally had enough; sick of her father’s abusive ways she confronted him warning him never to touch her or her brother again, though she didn’t know at the time that her brother Dylan had ran away from home. Being left on her own to take the wrath of her father’s hand once again Anastasia was beaten that much, she was left lying on the living room floor in a pool of her own blood finding it hard to breath. Believing she was on her own Anastasia soon felt relief when she seen her brother running in, looking up toward him she noticed the police rushing to her aid. Dylan had not left her at all in fact he had decided to go and get help for the both of them.

Anastasia was rushed to hospital where her brother stayed by her side; along with the police who were not that far away from her either, knowing that they would likely be put into care she begged her brother not to let that happen. However he told her he had a plan and she would just need to go along with it, agreeing with her brother they both smiled at one another and Dylan had no choice but to leave saying that he needed to the bathroom. Dylan disappeared and the police could not find him; leaving Ana alone though she knew her brother would never leave her for that long, he was not that type of guy he was always there for her and she was always there for him they would not just leave each other like that. When she got out of hospital she was placed into care with a Christian family; she was lucky enough that Dylan had been watching her and knew exactly where she was, one day as she returned from school she looked up at her porch only to find Dylan standing there. The brightest smile grew across her lips knowing that it was time for the pair of them finally to be together again, Dylan did not give her any time to pack he just took her like a thief and finally told her where they were going. Evermore City.

Somewhere she had never heard off before however if her brother thought it was safe for them then she was going to go with him, saying goodbye to her life she did not want she went with her brother happily finally being able to be set free from the past. Although her addition to causing fires was something that was still unknown; she got the chance to meet Scarlet a phoenix Dylan had been speaking too when they were younger, however Anastasia was not lucky enough to know her that long when she was murdered. Even though it hurt her brother she felt rage anger toward those who had claimed Scarlet’s life, and with that rage she caused her very first fire the fear though in her eyes was something she had no understanding of. It was also a while later when Dylan had caused the same thing only to a girl named Clarissa. However something about her was different and Anastasia knew that she could see she was not like the others, though she never did tell Dylan about her little fire problem nor did she tell Clarissa at the time. That was until she finally felt this horrible burning pain in her back; looking to her back in her mirror she noticed a tattoo on the lower part of her back, worrying what her brother would think she decided to turn to Clarissa knowing that maybe she would be able to help her.

That was when Ana soon heard about the Initia; something she had never heard of before but apparently she was being tapped by it, she was unsure of what was happening to her and to be honest she would do anything to get help so that she wouldn’t hurt her brother or anyone else she cared about. She asked Clarissa to help her train her so that she was able to control this Initia power she was getting, she didn’t want to hurt people she wanted to be able to protect them like her brother had did for her while she was growing up.
