This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Anastasia Kartova Petrovich (458 BC[1]-485 BC[2] was the daughter of the Burgomaster Kartov and sister of Ludmilla Kartova.[3]
In 475 BC, Anastasia was involved in a forbidden relationship with a Vistani named Petyar. Burgomaster Kartov bore a hatred for Petya, a Vistani whom was romancing Anastasia. When Andrei the Butcher falsely accused Petya of thievery, Burgomaster called for Petya's hanging. Just arrived in the Land of Mists, Jander sent some wolves to break up the lynch mob. Burgomaster Kartov revealed his cowardice and fled, abandoning his daughter to whatever fate the wolves would have given her.[4] With their momentary safety assured, Anastasia and Petya said their goodbyes, permanently parting ways for their mutal safety. Anastasia swore an oath of permanent friendship to Jander for his help.[5]
After Petya learned of Jander's vampiric nature, he rushed back to let Anastasia know. However, he faced a brutal beating from Burgomaster Kartov and his servants. Anastasia called them to stop the attack, shaming her father for his cowardice in the face of the wolf attack, before treating Petya's wounds enough to allow his escape.[6] The burgomaster's show of cowardice and public shaming broke his resolve, somewhat lessening the abuse he put upon the women of the Kartova household.[7]
Her ill-fated romance with Petya left her with child.[7] At a spring festival, Petya ran into Jander once again, and she received from him a promise never to let her be hurt from something he did.
She was killed by Count Strahd von Zarovich.
