Known as: Red Ana
Name: Anastasia Ivanovich
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 135 lbs.
Origin: Russia
Background: Gymnast, Sabre-Dancer
Allegiance: the Watchers
Abilities: peak human agility; strength at a level expected for a human of her size who engages in regular, strenuous activity. Genetic modification has granted her a hyper-accelerated healing factor, the limits of which have not been fully explored: wounds heal in a matter of seconds, destroyed body parts regenerate in a matter of minutes. This also gives her unmatched endurance; she is capable of maintaining a level of extreme physical exertion for days at a time. She is also virtually immune to poisons and diseases; any hostile agents are purged from her system swiftly.
Skills: expert gymnast; highly skilled in the used of bladed weapons, with a specialization in sabers and other slashing swords. Skilled practitioner of Russian Sambo. After several disastrous encounters with ranged enemies, Ana has also taken to toting one or more sidearms with her at all times. She has little formal training and is an indifferent marksman, however, usually just emptying her magazine in the general direction of her enemies and hoping she "gets lucky."
Bio: the younger sister of Sergei Ivanovich, the previous Retriever in the service of the Demon of Silence, "Red Ana" had not originally intended to lead a life of violence. Disdaining the military pursuits of her brutish brother, she devoted herself to the pursuit of gymnastic excellence and the cultural practice of the sabre dance. When Sergei vanished, however, she was compelled by a sense of familial honor to discover what happened to him. This led her to the same clandestine supersoldier program that gave her brother his metahuman abilities. She volunteered for the program, and due to her genetic connection to its finest product, she was accepted. Once she was granted her powers and training, however, she turned on her "benefactors," killing everyone and destroying the facility, so that none could follow in her footsteps (the process had evidently left her a bit unstable). She then followed her brother's trail the US, where she discovered the Watchers, and was recruited into her brother's former role with promises of learning his fate.
