Mortal Life
1823 - Anna arrives to areas of Atlanta with her parents, along with new wave of settlers. She's home schooled, raised in Christian spirit, and pretty much careless in the times of building. She grew up to be a pretty young lady, well behaved and beautiful. At age of 20, situation at home got worse, as her father was forced to quit his construction job, and her mother got too old to endure all the drunk talk in the inn where she worked. Anna gladly took over her mother's place, in hope she'll be able to support them both, at least until father's injury gets better. It's all going well, until one evening in the inn, when, after closing time, only one soul decides to stay and help Anna.
Sudden Embrace
1848 - Anna gets embraced, forcefully, swiftly, in a night of lust, seduced by hungry Marissa Carisle. Confused and lost, she follows her new sire to meet Adahy. Shortly afterwards, Anna manages to secure haven for her and Marissa, they move in together and stay quiet from kindred scene for following 12 years. Anna learns all that she can about Damnation, until war breaks out. Anna also loses all contact with her parents, deciding it's best to forget and bury it deep down. Her father dies in early 50's and her mother shortly after that from sorrow and depression. Anna refuses to take any possessions from the home, refusing to remain connected with her mortality.
Times of change
1862 - Spring. War breaks out and their haven is destroyed. In fear Marissa abandons Anna, finding a safe haven only for herself. Panicked, Anna flees, to find the first safe spot to hide. She kills for it too, without even thinking about masquerade breach. Unfortunately, the entire building is set on fire by the military the very next night, and Anna barely manages to flee. She stumbles upon Gregory Krailo, who offers her a safe haven, realizing her line. She joins the Ordo Dracul as a slave and her tutorship period starts immediately.
Dragon Years
1865 - Gregory secures Buckhead as the domain and gets a hold of one of Crucibles in the city. Anna, showing some martial skills gets an honor of Guardian over the Crucible. She piously continues with her studies as well.
1945 - Gregory attempts to secure the second Crucible and pushes Sworn of the Axe to secure the place and clean it from Sherman's Match but they are all swept away. Three dragons die, including Sworns, and things go downhill for Dragons. They loose both of the Crucibles and political stand. Entire situation urges Anna to accept the invitation to serve as Sworn of the Dragon in Atlanta's Academy. As Dragons withdraw from the scene, so does Anna, monitoring over the Academy's borders.
1970 - Anna slowly integrates herself into social scene of Atlanta. There are few spats and harsh words between her and Marissa, but it all stays on personal level. Besides that, Anna stays neutral and mostly passive, at least within borders of Elysium.
1984 - Anna withdraws from the social scene again, deciding that there's more taste in pursuiting the Coils more actively, than enduring spats within Elysium walls. Under guidance of Gregory, Anna learns another coil, and gains a title of Scholar.
1993 - After hearing of another embrace from Marissa, Anna approaches her childe Arisela, and warns her about nature of her sire. Another verbal fight rages and Marissa departs with her childe shortly after.
1995 - In spring, Anna takes her first students. An Slave Ventrue, named Jared Deuchamps, who she guides to his first tier - Tier of Beast, and Supplicant mekhet, Aria Sanura. Even though Jared chased the Dragons tail, she insists on it again, and on deeper understanding of change before they start the progress towards the coil. She pays more attention to Jared, and gives him plenty of hard time, while her coil with Aria is done slowly but with great progress. Her methods are bit extreme, but Jared is willing and meticulus and he rises up to supplicant status in period of year and half. Aria masters the coil two months later as well. Anna's behavior towards Jared changes as she starts to treat him like one of Academy now. They part ways there, as Anna devotes more time to Nest mapping and her duty as the Sworn.
Private pet
2005 - In one of nightly patrols around the Academy, Anna spots an vampire skulking around the building. Taking him by suprise, and slaping him few times, this daeva quickly talks and he turns out to be nothing more but a scared fledgling. Anna doesn't think he's worth the time, but he manages to get her to spare his life. He submits himself to her blood. She sees some potential there and takes his number. She lets him go, giving him an good location to rest outside of city borders.
2007 - She got cocky. Too cocky.
