Her parents were 2nd generation Americans, with her grandparents coming from Germany in the early 1930s right before World War Two. Her grandfather owned a restaurant that served a mix of American and German food, which was passed down onto Sebastian Johan, Ana’s father. Ana’s uncles ran the kitchen while Sebastian ran the business, and when Ana was old enough to take orders and carry trays, she became a waitress for the restaurant, simply named Johan’s. Ana attends a community college at night after work is over with and gets home about one or two in the morning, and then is up by about five to prepare for the morning rush. Her grandfather takes care of most of the public part of the business, aka sitting in booths talking to other men about WWII or Germany, or even just flirting with all the women who come in and out, regardless of age. Ana gets to keep all of her own tip money and her maternal grandparents help her pay for college. ○ Living Situation At Johan’s there is an apartment built on the second level where the offices are kept. It has a small bathroom with a tub, toilet, and sink, a small room with a dresser and bed, and then the two offices. One is for the business, and Ana claims the second one so she can do her homework or keep her other things. Apartments in New York are expensive, so living above the restaurant is convenient and very, very cheap. ○ Appearance Ana has ridiculously long hair. And when we say long hair, it's not just shoulder length. It's not even waist length. It's almost quite literally mid-thigh length hair. Having grown it out since she was about seven, all the years added up to long hair. It's flat, it's straight, and for some reason is immune to the humidity. Thankfully careful brushing and keeping it nice and clean has allowed her to keep it so long. She's keeping it that long because of a bet she made with her grandmother, and she's not to cut off more than waist length of hair until she graduates from college. She has one more semester to go, thanks to testing out in high school, and is fully excited to become a glorified travel agent. Now, her hair is a dark dark brown, and her eyes are a light brown that fluctuates with her mood. Her face is angular, with a straight sharp nose, full wide mouth, and a sharp pointed chin. She's tall, about five foot nine, and towers over most other women. Her legs pretty much go on and on, nearly up to her ears in fact!! Her torso is small but her chest and hips are rather wide. Long arms accompany the legs so her body is mostly proportionate. When it comes to clothes she likes greens and reds. For work she wears either a skirt and tights or long pants, with good shoes and a nice looking top, and then the forest apron over it. Her hair is up in a ponytail or large, messy bun, and she wears usually just eyeliner and foundation. Outside of work she enjoys jeans or yoga pants and random t-shirts or comfortable turtlenecks. She's not one to dress up unless she really has to.   PART 02 SPECIFICS ○ Possible Affinities I think that earth or fire will be a good use for them, but really any affinity would work. Her nature is sarcastic but take action. ○ Personality From a young age Ana has been expected to take charge. There is black and there is white, and the gray area is carefully avoided. When your family runs a restaurant you’re expected to take orders, carry trays, and mop up messes. So let’s start with the good! At her best Ana is witty, teasing, and very playful. She enjoys flustering people and twisting people’s words against themselves, but in a good way. Telling a story about a goldfish? You say a certain phrase and she’ll make you pause and resay it and make you see how sexual you said it. Good job! Ana very rarely gets to do stuff for herself, so when she’s in a fantastic mood, you can expect impulsive runs down to the Manhattan bridge to count green cars, or just random fun stuff. Ana enjoys having a good time (safely of course) and enjoys being around people. She is a social creature! Protective of her friends and family, she’d do pretty much anything to make sure that they were alright. Even if it’s not legal. As for the worst, Ana has a horrible habit of getting defensive over stupid, little things. Or worse, when she’s scared she doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut and gets aggressive so she has some sort of shield. She’ll claw your eyes out, argue with you, and then be in a black brooding mood until she comes out of it. Then, later (and I do mean MUCH later) she’ll come…. And grovel. She can’t stand having people she cares about mad at her, but that doesn’t mean she’ll easily swallow her pride. On a regular day she likes to keep it witty and fresh. With strangers she is amiable, but she’s not going to trust you instantly. Kids are a soft spot as is family for her, and she’s been known to carry one on her hip while pouring coffee at the diner with the free hand. She doesn’t handle stupidity well though, so if she snaps at you, try not to take it too personally, she’s just wondering where your brain cells went. On a rather personal level, Ana thinks boys are interesting. They provide entertainment and headaches, and are known for that one species that you’re supposed to marry. Both of her parents are old fashioned like her immigrant grandparents and are steadily pushing her harder and harder to marry, or at least to date. Men are good looking, and at times very good kissers. Ana’s not too big on taking her clothes off for other people, or for people touching her for that matter, but she does enjoy the opposite sex and activities, such as dating or kissing or heartless teasing. It just depends on what mood you catch her in. ○ History Ana was born in the Lower East side of Manhattan nearly twenty and one half years ago. Why twenty and one half? Her parents had always been sticklers for dates, times, and half of one thing or half or another. But twenty and one half years ago Ana was welcomed into the family of Sebastian and Frida Johan, second generation immigrants from Cologne, Germany. Her grandparents and her parents, cousins and aunts, were present in the small waiting room, and she was passed around once she was cleared safe after a day or so in the hospital. Born healthy and happy, she was a bouncing baby and the first born child to Sebastian and Frida. She grew up and went to East Haven high school in the Lower East side, growing up in Dutchland, or Little Germany on Manhattan island. Her childhood was rather uneventful, but her mother added three more siblings to the roost, two boys and another girl, all of them a year and a half or so apart. Ana when she was thirteen went to work at the family business, Johan's, a restaurant that served authentic German food and then some american commodities, a business that had survived through the horrors of World War Two where German communities were terrorized. Johan's continued, and the food and service never failed. When Ana turned thirteen it's where she claims everything started going downhill. The neighborhood wasn't run down, exactly, but gangs had started taking over, claiming this or that territory, and Johans was in the middle of gang space, but declared neutral grounds. Sebastian's father, Franz, carried a gun and made it very clear that if anyone tried to pull a gun into his store and kill a rival member, they'd be gunned down before they could finish the job. So Franz guards the store and Sebastian works the 'store', aka the restaurant, and all the cousins, uncles, and Ana and her siblings work the floor as waitresses, busboys, and bar tenders. Ana completed high school and graduated in the top ten percent of her class, and started online college courses and night school, testing out of some of her classes because of the AP courses she took. At twenty she's about to graduate as a senior, and goes back and forth from school. It wasn't until this past year that her hum-dum life changed, in her opinion for the worst. Ana saw something she shouldn't, heard something she shouldn't have, from some lower italian mobsters eating in the restaurant, planning to kill some russian mobster when he came in for dinner the next night. So, being the responsible citizen that she was (and not wanting to have to clean up the blood from the old oak floors), Ana tipped off the russians who frequented the restaurant quietly. The assassination was botched, but now... Ana's in a rather tight spot, as the italians who had talked too loud knew the waitress had over heard their plans. And cops can only do so much and can't make a move, not unless "he hits you first" is invoked. So Ana went back to the russians who she'd tipped off, and now has a lackey following her around to make sure she doesn't get herself killed. Ana couldn't have been more thrilled, and neither could her parents. (You noted that sarcasm right?) So Ana attends night school, trying to get by and save up enough money to move out of New York from her tip money, and then not get killed in the process or stray into the wrong neighborhood. Life's grand isn't it?   PART 03 ROLE PLAYER ○ Alias Katie ○ Rp Experience Eleven years baby >D ○ How did you find us?
