Imported Pages/Anya Brooks

Personal Information
WIP

Appearance
Of average height and slightly above average weight with creamy-tan skin. Her eyes flash light jade and though narrow in shape, are often held open wide as she's watching. Watching.

Her clothing choices tend to be simple, though varied. It's her make-up and hair that makes a statement--when people remember her.

Personality
Anya is quiet and tends to observe more than discuss. She can be quite passionate when she gets on a topic that interests her, but her interests seem rather narrow. Her attention is often divided; she won't always look at you when she's talking or listening to you, but it does not mean that she's not paying attention. She's more likely to stare at you when your attention is elsewhere.

There is certainly an air of naivete and hopeless optimism around her.

Mortal World
Anya was a quiet homebody for much of her freshman year at Wash U., so she did not have many close mortal connections to have to deal with when she had to quit taking day classes. Some may recognize her from her small indie gallery show in the fall of 2016, but to most, she's just that sweet girl who seems a little lost sometimes. She sells kitchy art things on Etsy and is trying to continue her education by taking basic online classes where she does way more than the required two comments on other people's threads each week.

Timeline

 * 1990 - Anya spent the 90s growing up. She went to a good school in Hawai'i and earned average grades. From a young age, she became especially engrossed in art of all types, both viewing and creating.
 * 2000 - Middle school and high school. Surfing. Serving tourists and cleaning their rooms at her father's hotel. Walking along the beach at sunset. Oh, how she loved sunset.
 * 2010 - The last two years of high school and college. More of the same, except she was able to take AP Art and then study art in college. She graduated from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa with a bachelors in fine arts and then was accepted into graduate school at Washington University. She was embraced at the end of her freshman year of grad school.

Recent History
2017 - The start of what should have been her sophomore year of grad school was rough and the turning of the year did little to ease the absence of continuing classes. She's been taking an online class so that she can work on the assignments at night, but she knows it won't last. Plus, she can't teach during the day and her t.a. stipend covers her rent...

2017
LATE JUN - After an unfortunate encounter with her landlord and his wife, she left her basement apartment for permanent residence at Hotel St. Jude. She spent much of her time thereafter working on a commission for Sarah at Fire Reigns.
 * JUN - Became interested in the mayoral race and went to Hotel St. Jude to meet the mayor. There, she also met other interesting faces and took a room at the hotel after getting the feeling that a safer haven than her safe haven was needed in the near future. Unfortunately, the move was short-lived, and she left after only a night and returned to her basement apartment. On the positive side, she quickly started earning commissions with AnimaTech, Boire, and Fire Reigns. Her work is now covering the inside and outside walls of Boire and found in the betas of AnimaTech's latest mobile app.
