Anastasia

Anastasia is Claymore No. 7 of the current generation. She is also known as "Winged Anastasia" for her ability to float in the air.

Etymology
"Anastasia" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Anasutashia" (アナスタシア, pronounced "ah-na-su-taj-she-ah").

"Anastasia" derives from the Greek "anastasis," meaning "resurrection." Name of a famous Russian princess.

Appearance
Anastasia appears as a beautiful young woman with long hair that curls up from her shoulder to her to her lower chest. She also wears the standard Claymore uniform and traditional silver eyes.

Personality
Unlike other Claymores, she likes the "vacant silver world" of Alphonse (Scene 110).

Abilities
Through unknown means, Anastasia has the ability to float in the air, earning her the nickname "Winged."

Alphonse
Anastasia replaced No. 9, Nina, after the failure of the Dabi Awakened Being Hunting Party.

The Northern Path
The Ghosts are heading to Staff, intending to rescue Miria. But Tabitha senses a party of Claymores heading in the same direction. The party is lead by Anastasia.

Organization headquarters recalls Anastasia, due to the critical situation in Staff. She travels south with three Claymores, Nike, Phina and one unnamed, on the "Northern Path," a secret route to Staff. But they meet a man who morphs into an Awakened Being.

While fighting him, she shows her special ability of floating mid-air. She says she cannot forgive those that injure her friends. As she defeats the Awakened Being, other humans appear, apparently infected with Yoma as well (Scene 110).
