Name: Anastasia Prokhorov, after its westernization.
Nickname: Asia.
Apparent Age: 19.
Vampiric Age: 233.
Hair: Brown, with reddish tints. It falls in thick curls down to the bottom of her shoulder blade.
Eyes: Reddish-brown.
Weight: 140.
Height: 5'4".
Nationality: Russian.
Clothing: Asia is very adept and eager in fashion, and will often take extra time with her appearance. She loves being feminine, so is often seen in skirts and dresses, but has always loved the fact that women could start wearing jeans, and has taken full advantage of that ever since the modern era.
Alliance: She is a leader of the London Resistance.
Personality: She is caring, and treats the vamps that are a member of her syndicate like brothers or sisters, and sometimes like her children. Asia is very prompt, quick witted, and intelligent, though she has never attended school or a university. She is strong willed, at times to the point where it's a problem. And other times she just has a hard time admitting when she's wrong.
While she is not overly quiet, there are things that she will not speak of. One of these things happens to be her turning. Only a select few know exactly how she was murdered and turned, and she will casually (or not so casually) thwart the questions that come with it. Another thing she won't speak of is her time as a human, or her father. When somebody insults him, no matter how unknowingly, she will get defensive and angry. Part of this stems from not being able to remember much before her turning; which Asia will adamantly claim doesn't bother her despite the fact it truly does.

Least Favorites:
Turning: Only a few people know exactly how it happened, because she refuses to talk about it. This is because the trauma is "hers to bear", and she will not wish to let it weigh on anybody else, for indeed it was terrible and painful, psychologically detrimental on many levels. On May 22, 1775, she was turned while in her bedroom upstairs. She was brushing her hair while looking into her vanity, and saw Ivan’s reflection and it startled her, causing her to turn. He turned her—but wanted to enjoy it, an as such took great care to cause her great pain. Unfortunately for him, that gave her time to scream for her father. He came running upstairs with a saber, and caught Ivan in the act of trying to torture his daughter. He ended up bloodying up Ivan bad enough for him to turn and vanish through the window, an Asia to stand and run to her father. They embraced until he noticed the blood on her neck, and it was then he wished to save his daughter from the terrible fate of being a monster. So, he ran the sword through her stomach, in an attempt to kill her before the poison in her bloodstream made it too late. She passed out, and struck with horror on what he had just done, her father rushed from the room, giving time for Ivan to whisk her out the window. Upon his return, she was gone, and he ran crying for help from the house. She denied the Kindred her humanity, and began to move about, flying solo, or joining different syndicates as the years passed on. The subject of her father stabbing her is touchy, though she will insist that it was out of love.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
History: She was born December 13th, 1756 in Moscow, Russia to her parents Aleksander Prokhorov and Milena Prokhorov. Her given name was Anastasiya, but she later westernized it for ease. When she was 10 years old, Milena died of a bad cold, and never got the siblings that she, and her father, wanted for her. She was well cared for and meant absolutely everything to Aleksander, and this actually led to her death and turning. By the time she was 19, it was well past her time to be wed, and her father simply wanted the best for his prized daughter.
A mysterious man claiming to be from St. Petersburg came seeking Anastasia's hand. At first her father was skeptical but the man was extremely persistent, and something about the man made it impossible for her father to refuse, though both felt his eyes were sinister, and almost predatorial. He had enough money to let her live comfortably, so Aleksander finally consented to give away his daughter to Ivan. However, before they were wed at all, the young Russian girl was turned, and began flying under the radar, finally finding rest in London with Sam and the others.

Strengths:
- She is fluent in English, Russian, French, Spanish and Italian.
- She is extremely reliable and friendly. This makes her an excellent people person.
- She is always willing to be helpful, and will gladly go to a fight that she believes is necessary.
Weaknesses:
- For a leader, she is young and therefore not as strong of a fighter. This means that in some cases, she needs help. However, she is to prideful to admit it.
- When she is angry, she can be very tunnel-visioned. Sometimes she just won't let it go.
- Like anybody else, she has a hard time admitting she's wrong, which can sometimes make her come across as egotistical, though she really isn't.
