| the fallen angel |

personality;; Nastia is incredibly stubborn and there isn't a force on Earth (even her family) that can make her do something she doesn't herself want to. She is fiercely loyal and protective over her friends, though that loyalty is hard to win. It takes a lot to upset her, but when she's angry she becomes bitchy, snarky, and extremely hostile (mainly with her words). Around her friends she is cheeky, playful and even a tad flirty, whereas around those she doesn't know she is more quiet and reserved. She is an introvert when she is allowed the chance; she loves nothing more than to relax at the end of an exhausting day with a good book or movie (or a good Xbox game). She can be a bit of a slob and often spends days off wandering around in her pjs if there is nowhere else she has to be. For the most part, Nastia is a total tomboy. Her wardrobe consists mainly of jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies, and she practically lives in leather jackets. However once in a blue moon, she enjoys getting dolled up and hitting the club with friends. She also can get addicted to things quite easily, whether it be gaming, music, things to do with riding, or more dangerous outlets.

Fluent in Russian, Ukrainian, English, and almost-fluent in German and Italian. Is skilled in martial arts and is a good shot.
history;; Born in St Petersburg, Russia, the Sokolov family moved to New Zealand (affectionately known as the end of the world) when Anastasia was five. Not having a keen grasp on the English language, she was often made fun of at school and bullied, making her hide away in . Generally she was a cheerful and imaginative child, who wanted nothing more than to make some friends. As the years went on, she made two male friends, finding them to be more imaginative and fun to explore with than the females. She was often in detention and on rubbish-duty for going out of bounds on exploration trips. When she wasn't busy thinking up of grand adventures to reenact, she could be found either at the library, or in the branches of the sprawling oak tree, with her nose in a book.

The years went on and the sisters led a quiet but happy childhood. Their grandparents soon joined them in Wellington and took on the role of main caregivers, as their father was much too busy with work and their mother was studying for her second medical degree. The sisters adored each other, as sisters should, and Nastia would spend every evening after school teaching Vasilisa things like spelling and maths, and in the evenings would regularly read her bed-time stories to get her to sleep.

When Nastia was seven, disaster struck - her father was killed in a hit-and-run accident on his way home from work. Being a child, she didn't understand the fact that her father was never coming home and was surprised when she'd ask her mum when her dad was coming back from his holiday only for her to burst into tears every time.

In highschool she was a loner and didn't have a group of friends for the majority of her first year. Towards the end of the year, she was adopted into a group of misfits, led by Rory and Madison. The three became great friends, continuing to keep in touch when Rory left school, and Madison moved to Canada. Once again becoming a loner and would often skip classes. Despite the amount of times she was in detention for not attending, she still managed to pass (though not with the grades that her family wanted). For a long while she self-harmed and popped uppers, provided by a new close friend, but in the summer before her last year managed to clean up her act.

After highschool, she went on to study forensic science and German at university, doing a double-degree. Halfway through her third year, however, she began to lose interest in persuring a career as a forensic scientist. She still found the world of forensics fascniating, however she began to grow dubious of whether she could actually handle seeing death every day for the rest of her life. In the summer leading up to her fourth year, she participated in an exchange over to Miami, where she interned at Miami-Dade PD. Though she enjoyed the experience, it finalized the notion that death was not what she wanted to deal with, day in day out. Not wanting to waste all the effort she'd put in just for a giant student loan and nothing to show for it, she decided to complete her degree.

Knowing that she wasn't going to go work as a forensic scientist, Nastia went back to university and got her degree in paramedics. She was counting down the days until graduation, when she could go work for the Wellington Free Ambulance and proudly wear the yellow-and-green uniform, though if she were being truthful to herself, she wasn't sure that she'd be able to handle the job and all the emotional baggage that came with it. Fortunately, life had other plans for her anyway. Upon graduation she received a job offer from a Charles Townsend, who wanted her for an elite private investigator job. Figuring that she might as well give it a go, she accepted the job and moved to Miami. Shortly after her move to Miami, she bought herself a domesticated hedgehog, naming her Holly.

Nastia quickly made close friends with Dylan at the Agency, and the two went on missions all over the world. On one mission, the two girls were swallowed up by a portal and thrown into Albion. They quickly learned that they weren't the only ones from their own world who had been thrown here; Charlie had already set up an agency for them and requested that they start back on their detective duties immediatly.
