PERSONALITY INFO
Theme Song
Trancend - “Silence”
Gimmick
An overly cheerful and childish, albeit secretive, circus girl, born of wrestling royalty, reluctantly turned to the darker side.
Personality:
Once one of the most beloved stars in the game, now pushed towards being what she always feared. Distrustful, apologetic and overly emotional, she seeks to bring a terrifying change to both herself, and the wrestling world.
Strengths
1. A World Of Her Own: Ana's skills have massively increased since her debut. Those 'One Hit Wonder' esque moves she used to perform are now a regular occurrence, and she is well regarded as one of the best, and undoubtedly most creative high flyers around. Still, she has the ability to perform some moves that would make multi time World champions rub their eyes in disbelief.
2. Child of the Circus: Ana was raised in a Carnival, thus knowing how to perform traditional circus tricks such as the tightrope, unicycle and acrobatics. She is incredibly flexible, a former performing contortionist, making some submission moves almost impossible to affect her. She is also a trained high flyer.
3. The Secret Monster: She has a secret, something that aids her to victory… She thinks she's finally figured it out, and it seems to come into play when she gets angry or overly emotional… This seems to be a double edged sword, however. The secret, as it turns out, is her bloodline. She is part of the famous Lasiewicz family, and if really pushed, she could snap. She has begun to embrace the monstrous side of herself, making her more dangerous when pushed over the edge, though she can burst into tears and scream when doing so.
4. Evolve Or Die - Yeah… THAT!
5. Good Deathwish: Some say she has one, and she will take the highest risks possible. See that thirty foot ladder, that cage, the scaffolding? She’s jumping off it.
Weaknesses
1. Monster: She has reluctantly taken up the role of the Monster, feeling this is what everyone wants from her, and she is alone in the world. But if the trigger does go and she flips, there are not many who can calm her down.
2. Overly Emotional: Her feelings often get the better of her, causing her to make mistakes in high profile matches against hated rivals or even friends. Sometimes, even after her international fairy-tale success, she can doubt herself. This, however is a double edged sword tied to her 'Secret', especially if she snaps.
3. Distrustful: Ana used to be extremely naive, taking people’s word as gospel at all times. But that has bitten her too many times, both professionally and romantically. Due to this, she distrusts even her closest friends and allies, and is constantly on edge due to paranoia.
4. Watch Her Bounce: Ana zips and flies everywhere, but big power moves do a lot of damage to her. These tend to have more impact, and a hard slam upon the mat can cause her to bounce off the canvas. (Over-sells)
5. Bad Deathwish: (See Strengths) - She might miss and get her wish.

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Not much is known about her early years. Before her exposure to the wrestling world, she lived a very sheltered life amongst an ever travelling carnival. Her first year in professional wrestling was a trial in itself, she wasn’t a natural by any means. Whilst her career record to begin with was extremely poor, she won over the fans with her personality, high flying arsenal and determination. She has been personally trained by the likes of Lady Magdalena, Heather Halliwell and Zack Lifer. She hit the headlines on the West Coast more so because of her dear friend ‘Wiley’ (now known as GRENDEL) turning on her. Since this betrayal, she has become more focused and aggressive in the ring, claiming a few key victories. She has also become more confident with her identity, coming out of the closet (albeit accidentally) and revealing her identity.
Ana vanished from the wrestling scene for several months at the height of her success in RW, shortly after coming in second to Shinji in a bid to win a contract to the main roster of EXODUS Pro. This was also shortly after she achieved international fame by winning the prestigious GFC Invitational as a Wild-Card entry. No one is quite sure where she went, and what her reasonings were. She returned at R To The Core 2, revealed as the mysterious computer who had been sending out the cryptic ‘#R.getTheKilllist’ message to members of the roster for a number of months. From there she emerged as the leader of the break out stable, Time, alongside Brendan Samuels and the infamous Jackie Fowler.
After the closure of EXODUS Pro and Revo, she spread her wings even further, hoping to be as successful in SSWA as she was in the GFC Invitational. Her career so far back in the British Isles has had a number of ups and downs, the highest points being a quarter final stint in the Young Guns Cup (being defeated by her future fiancée and love of her life, Sophie El), winning numerous awards and her first singles title, the Rising Star Championship. This was couple with some crushing defeats to her known rivals, a brutal non wrestling related attack at her home and a number of high profile complications in her private life.
In the mid-year of 2016, it emerged that she had signed a short term deal with Hard Knox Wrestling, being personally selected as SSWA’s representative in a lucrative talent exchange. She made her in-ring HKW debut at HKW VS The World, facing off against her former mentor turned enemy, and her number one target on R.getTheKilllist, Lady Magdalena. In a titanic no holds barred match, she finally defeated the ‘Black Swan’, gaining much praise for her resilience and creativity in the ring.
It was after this that her world turned upside down, as it was revealed she wasn’t quite who she thought she was… She was in fact the daughter of Lady Magdalena, and thus a reluctant part of the famous Lasiewicz family.
Ana has continued her progression in the world of professional wrestling, rising higher and higher in the ranks of the SSWA. Her notable feuds with her former best friend GRENDEL, the hacker CruZe (who tortured her on live television, something she still feels the effects of today) and the devious Seren Beyer have made headlines over in the United Kingdom. Although she has had a number of setbacks, including a public torturing, being robbed at the last moment of winning the SSWA Royale Battle and a number of backstage assaults, she simply will not quit, and her diehard attitude has become well respected. Elsewhere, she made international headlines when she won CCP's prestigious all female tournament, the Queen of the Mountain. And carving out a niche for herself in the United States, she became Phoenix Wrestling's inaugural Rising Phoenix Champion, winning a tournament and defeating the legendary Brad Jackson in the final. She also reached the semi-finals of the world renowned Iron King Tournament, losing on a judge's scorecard to RISE Trainer and then PW Rebirth Champion Aurora Jansen. In her personal life, though she seemed to lose a number of close friends due to the nature of this cutthroat business, she eventually married the love of her life, Subversion's First Daughter Sophie El, in a ceremony on the 23rd of December 2016 in Paradise, Newfoundland, a place the pair called home.
And now, much to the shock of the world, she has been signed to HKW Underground by General Manager Felicity Banks. Now she hopes to make a name for herself on the alternative brand, though it does seem that she has a hidden motive for being here…
The motive? Her father is Bobby B. Barabbas, the now owner of the Underground. Her time in the company has had more downs than ups, with many crying nepotism even though it had been revealed she had refused all assistance offered by her scheming father. During this time, her marriage to Sophie El broke down, mainly caused by Sophie suffering from amnesia from an injury caused by her sister, Artemis Kaiser. While her personal life fell apart, her focus became her career, seeing her win both the SSWA and Phoenix World titles, journeys that were over a year in the making. She even seemed to move on in her lovelife, finding herself with Sarah Sorlie.
But matters seemed to break down around her. Disagreements with SSWA management over contract terms created a blood feud with the Huff Family, involving her in matches with the likes of her former friends Holly and Kenzie, as her personal relationships continued to shatter before her, and she was also involved in intense brawls with the likes of Lani San Diego. Her personal life continued to crumble, her love life all over the tabloids and dirt sheets as her lover Sarah made every detail of their union public, which left the very private Starling distraught, and eventually they broke up. She translated her anger into the ring, retiring legends in the industry such as Alexa Corra and Kol in brutal encounters, while many of her other matches were marred by constant interference.
Over the months leading to Justice 3, even fans (it was debatable whether they were or not) began to turn on her, even going to the lengths of attacking her backstage, calling her monster as she had a breakdown. On that occasion, she was rescued by her friend, Skylar Rayner, but the jibes from many faces from her past, including the likes of CruZe and Zoey Adler, began to take their toll on her. And on August 30th, in a long awaited match with Sarah, who had been badmouthing her for the better part of a year, the Songbird finally cracked. She was assaulted with a steel chair, the referee allowing the action to continue, and security halted her friends and family to come and aid her. Feeling all alone in the world, with no one to support her, as the crowd screamed Monster at her. In her desperation, she snapped, going wild and unleashing the Monster that that had been called for by her enemies for so, so long. She could not be stopped, winning the match in horrifying fashion, before she began attacking referees and security staff who tried to stop her, until one face from her past arrived and took her away.
GRENDEL
With her reputation as a beloved high flier, and many of her personal relationships now shattered, Anastasia feels lost and abandoned by those she loves. So she has turned to the face painted behemoth for help, and the change has come…
Evolve, Die… Or Transcend.
