At least that was their story and are sticking by it. With close ties with the Russian Mob back in the motherland, it was easy to set up in Night City and soon carved out a territory for themselves with many members ex-intelligence operatives. It may not have been the biggest when Anastasia's father took over, but it was definitely one of the most profitable with strong networks with various corporations, governments and other crime families. Anastasia's father may not have been the oldest in the family but he was definitely the most ruthless and competent among his siblings. Despite the environment Anastasia grew up in, she was well loved by her parents and extended family and relatively safe, at least for a mob boss' only daughter. <br/><br/>Anastasia, even in her early years found she could manipulate, or at least gained the cooperation of her parents, uncles and aunties, and those around her. All she needed was a kind word here and there, a smile or even a kiss. One story that survive to this day of that she single-handedly stopped a "war" between one of the uncles and her father by deescalating a meeting simply by sitting on the lap of her uncle with her teddy bear. Although called "Little Bird" when she was but a babe, that nickname stuck, especially after that incident. Her father seeing potential in his child decided to take her under his wing when she grew older and perhaps groom her into something more. Fortunately or unfortunately, Anastasia's mother disapproved with his plans and made it quite evident. But Anastasia was a natural and wanted to please her father.<br/><br/>Anastasia went to school like any normal child her age, that is if one could call a girl whose father is the neighbourhood bogey man. Anastasia did not have many friends. Most of her classmates were afraid of her, or at least afraid of her Father. But at least she was never bullied. Those who were her 'friends' were her friends because of the protection her reputation gave them from the other children at the school. Thus, even with surrounded at school, Anastasia grew up lonely without anyone she could count on or confide with. Things turned for the worse in her final year of Elementary School. A tuff war had erupted between the Russians and the "Checkova" a gang who had backing from the Ivanov Crime Family. At first, encounters were non-lethal but soon escalated. A plan was hatched to kidnap Anastasia as a bargaining chip. The kidnapping was a blotched attempt by members of the 'Checkovs" who killed Anastasia's mother in the process. Anastasia's mother had a habit of picking up Anastasia when she could from school, to surprise her and spend some time together. On that fateful day, it was not a bodyguard but her mother who was shot in the kidnapping. <br/><br/>The Zakharova Family went to war that day with no remorse. Cost, reputation and unspoken traditions where thrown into the wind. The "Checkova" simply ceased the exist and the remnants of the Ivanov Family absorbed. Anastasia was rescued of course, but she was changed. Anastasia lost someone precious to her that day. It was said that Anastasia's father gave his daughter his own gun and had her execute the trigger man who killed her mother. It was also said that she did it willingly and without emotion. Anastasia's father then took her out of school and hired tutors to home-school her. It was the only way to keep his now only "love" safe. This home schooling also included shooting, the inner workings of the darker side of the world and how to use influence and power to have your way. She also became friends with Enforcers, Prostitutes, Racketeers, Dealers, Entertainers and Fixers. <br/><br/>Soon Anastasia hit 16 and like her mother, she was an attractive Russian girl. She started working part-time for her father. It was usually nothing really dangerous or illegal. She worked for two years at her family's various restaurants. While she worked, she learned about how to run a business, about human nature, how to flirt and converse with people and how they were driven by needs. After her eighteen birthday, she went to work at her family's clubs. She worked as a Hostess and practiced more of what she learnt from her teachers and mentors, and from her experience at the restaurants.. She would never sleep with her clients, who were both men and women, she may go out with them for a date or satisfy them with a peck on the lips, but never more. Anastasia was always popular one with both young and old, ganger or corp exec. She gave them what they wanted, business and relationship advice, intelligent conversation, a listening ear or even a shoulder to cry on. <br/><br/>Anastasia's father was pleased. He wanted her to take over his "Entertainment Portfolio". Anastasia loved her father but declined. She believed herself still young. She wanted to make it on her own two feet. "Give me ten years PaPa", she said. "Give me ten years to be to show you what I can do". The next day, she started her business as an independent Fixer, or at least as independent as she could be. Without doubt, her family helped her out. That was what family was for. She provided services for her own personal network she gained where she worked as a Hostess. She provided companions, party drugs, catering and entertainment. Her clients were the rich, corp execs, prominent figures in Little Europe's underworld including her family, and other fixers. Soon her network grew and she gained a reputation as an ethical Fixer who treats her clients and 'resources' fairly. <br/><br/>At first, it was hard. Her "resources" when she first started were mainly "on loan" from the family. She even had to take some jobs herself. She even had to do a few gigs as a Dominatrix. She was good enough to even have regulars. But she had since found the services of high class companions and escorts. She soon also started providing the services of Mech Techs and Solos to provide medical treatment and body guarding duties respectively. One of the Solos she used on a regular basis was one Vivian MacEachern. That one was gorgeous and would probably be one of her top companions if she were to be trained and took care of herself. However, there was something that just did not sit right. But as a Solo, there were no complaints so far, in fact it was all praises. She was professional, good eye candy and took the body guarding work seriously. Anastasia had also given her a few jobs personally.<br/><br/>Then, there was Roan Quince. A talented rockerboy had so much potential, yet so volatile and hence unpredictable.  If only she could temper it. It all started when one of Anastasia's uncles who owned a seedy Russian Vodka bar in "Little Europe" rang her in need of a replacement act for a few gigs. The bar's usual act had run afoul in the previous week with one of her Uncle's long term customers. She used every one of her contacts and found Roan and her band. Her music were anti-corp but full of power and raw talent. Her passion translating into her music, the regular crowd ate it all up and left fans. She booked the band again and again. Each time Roan did not disappoint and she made a fair cut out of the booking fees and decided to go out on a limb. Prepared with a proposal, she approached Roan with then intention of being the band's manager. She did not share Roan's views but a professional she was. Anastasia was good at what she did and offered her services. It was a success and she was the band's manager on trial basis. Her relationship with the band and Roan became closer and she learned more of Roan's motivation. Soon, Anastasia offered her other services as a Fixer.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Personality and Reputation</div><div class="spoiler_body">Anastasia is the consummate professional and an ethical fixer and that is few and far between. She addresses her clients and 'resources' politely using proper salutations and treats them well. She has been known to ban or even "straighten" her clients if they mistreat her 'resources' and at the same time censor her 'resources' if they ever did her clients wrong. She has her own principles and would not deal in certain illegalities like dealing in requests for snuff BDs. Anastasia word is her bond and many of her clients are happy to deal with her with just a handshake. Anastasia, although Russian and speaks perfect Russian, also speaks English with an American accent. However, she has been known to code switch, being able to speak it with varying American accents. Perhaps its because she has recently started dealing with the American gangers of "Little Europe".<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Statistics</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Intelligence</strong>:  8  <strong>Reflexes</strong>:  8  <strong>Dexterity</strong>:  8  <strong>Technique</strong>:  3  <strong>Cool</strong>:  8  <strong>Willpower</strong>:  6  <strong>Luck</strong>:  3  <strong>Movement</strong>:  5  <strong>Body</strong>:  5 <strong>Empathy</strong>:  8<br/><br/><strong>Derived Stats:</strong>  Hit Points: 40  Seriously Wounded Threshold: 20  Death Save: 5  Humanity:  80<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">General Skills</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Awareness Skills:</strong><br/>Concentration (Will): 2 / 8<br/>Perception (Int): 2 / 10<br/><br/><strong>Body Skills:</strong><br/>Athletics (Dex): 2 / 10<br/>Stealth (Dex): 2 / 10<br/><br/><strong>Control Skills:</strong><br/><br/><strong>Education Skills:</strong><br/>Education (Int): 2 / 10<br/>Business (Int): 4 / 12<br/>Language: Russian (Int): 4 / 12<br/>Language: English (Int): 4 / 12<br/>Language: Streetslang (Int): 2 / 10<br/>Local Expert (Little Europe) (Int): 6 / 14<br/><br/><strong>Fighting Skills:</strong><br/>Brawling (Dex): 2 / 10<br/>Evasion (Dex): 6 / 14<br/><br/><strong>Performance Skill:</strong><br/>Acting (Cool): 3 / 11<br/><br/><strong>Ranged Weapon Skill:</strong><br/>Handgun (Ref): 6 / 14<br/><br/><strong>Social Skills:</strong><br/>Bribery (Cool): 5 / 13<br/>Bureaucracy (Cool): 2 / 10<br/>Conversation (Emp): 6 / 14<br/>Human Perception (Emp): 6 / 14<br/>Persuasion (Cool): 6 / 14<br/>Personal Grooming (Cool): 3 / 11 {13}<br/>Streetwise (Cool): 6 / 14<br/>Trading (Cool): 6 / 14<br/>Wardrobe &amp; Style (Cool): 3 / 11 {13/15 with Agent}<br/>Interrogation (Cool) 2 / 10<br/><br/><strong>Technique Skills:</strong><br/>First Aid: 2 / 5<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Languages</div><div class="spoiler_body">Language - English (Int): 4 / 12<br/>Language - Russian (Int): 4 / 12<br/>Language - Streetslang (Int): 2 / 10<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Operator Rank 4</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Contacts &amp; Clients:</strong> City gang honcho, minor politician, Corp Exec, well known person in the neighbourhood<br/><strong>Reach:</strong> You can always find a place to source up to Expensive items for your clients on a piece by piece basis, even if they are otherwise unavailable<br/><strong>Haggle:</strong> If successful, when you buy 5 or more of the same item, you can get one more of that item for free.
