Mental characteristics
Personal history
Anatoli “Ana” Ayad was born to Russian immigrants living in one of the combat zones of an American city. She was given up to a Reclaimer community not long after her birth, with little but an antique poem book and stories told by her adoptive family to remember them by. Life amongst them was tough, but nurturing, as he always had a strong community to fall back on, albeit not one without its own issues. Freedom and a lack of oversight would lead Ana to become a rebellious child, a spirit which would stick with her until adulthood. She left in her late teens, rebelling against the Biotechnica forces which now controlled the town.
Ana drifted with her old mainline until they ended up in NC, forming an Edgerunner crew and quickly chroming up (within their means). Her mainline was sent to prison after a job gone wrong, and she was thrust from her band after cheating. He wandered to Santo Domingo from there, hooking up with Viral Raaz Vora Sashenka and growing close to her fellow Reclaimers in Applegate. They grew distant from Toaster after his trip to the Zoo.
Ana threw herself into Edgerunning headfirst, no longer able to rely on her past allies. They had now become someone of note on the street, seeing the worst that Watson had to offer. She doesn't talk about what brought her to Anjelika's or their Edgerunning life, no matter how many customers ask.
Gender Identity
Girlboy boygirl thing.
Sexuality
Ana fills the Rockerboy stereotype at first glance. Willing to take anyone and confidently flirting is Ana's way of dealing with her crippling insecurity, something that has only harried her more since she's come to Night City. The validation and attraction her Rockerboy persona provides is intoxicating to her, much more then he's willing to admit.
Education
Ana was homeschooled by the more educated members of her community when time allowed. This led her to have gaps in her knowledge due to the often tumultuous nature of the area, but his lust for knowledge, particularly of poetic literature, would carry him to become proficient in the practice.
Employment
Ana did whatever jobs available to them amongst their community, primarily physical labor, until it became unified with Biotechnia, where Ana was then made to work in the town's new Company Store. This monopolistic practice and it's effects were some of the first things to instill Ana's passion for justice, as she often watched their fellow reclaimers unable to afford necessities as their wages were funneled back to the corp.
After a job gone paticularly nasty left Ana at her lowest, he abandoned the Edgerunner path. Their newfound rep in Watson got her set up at Anjelika's as a combination bouncer and host, which has been going smoothly enough for a change.
Accomplishments & Achievements
He's earned some renown as an Edgerunner for stunts such as escaping a locked down motel with rogue turrets, facing down a Cyberpsycho, standing up to Malestrom gangers on their own turf, and being commended by the Night City council for defeating the Reaper.
Failures & Embarrassments
Chasing the Reaper and making it as an Edgerunner have proven difficult, shredding her ego and her wallet. Nothing more embarassing than a couchsurfing Rockerboy who wasn't tough enough to be an Edgerunner.
Mental Trauma
Ana was abandoned at a very young age, leaving her with no memory of their biological parents. This alongside the (possibly perceived) abandonment by their mainline has left them with a deep abandonment trauma. Working for Biotechnia left them with a great anger, something which hasn't been helped with the violent course of their adult life.
The Reaper and the last jobs surrounding them are a period Ana doesn't like to think about.
Intellectual Characteristics
Emotional, driven, caring, addictive, and conceited.
Morality & Philosophy
An ardent anti capitalist who sees corps as the ruination of the world. She believes that people are broken by the world and have no room to heal in the world as it is, making violence the only option. The thrill found in beating those who cross her doesn't hurt either.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To keep her corner of the world safe through her influence, somehow. To stay safe and happy. To fuckin' make rent.

Family Ties
Ana misses her old Reclaimer family, as she was close to many who raised her or otherwise grew up beside him. They're currently looking at getting a message sent back home.
Social Aptitude
Ana's charisma, confidence, and pure intentions often make her either very charming or very, very annoying. She cares little for traditional etiquette, acting in the way that befits her, making her eloquent speech somewhat suprising. She's made for a good public worker among people who generally stay on her good side.
Mannerisms
She tends to skip and dance when left to wait, spews incredible profanity. She tends to express herself physically with wide gestures and always moving eyebrows.
Hobbies & Pets
Played EEO once and wishes she could do it again.
Working out is a good release for Ana. She's thinking about trying out streetfights.
Way too much Garden activity.
Speech
A middling tone which tends to spin on run on sentences, angry shouts, and swears. She speaks casually, evoking great tenderness with a shift in her voice when the job calls for it.
