Anastasia & Viy

The Grand Duchess of Ice has changed her class into that of a swimsuit Spirit Origin.

"Summer? I'm from Russia, so a little rise in temperature won't bother, WHY IS IT SO HOT!?"

She grows sluggish if she's not careful, so she always carries shaved ice with her. Sometimes she eats too much of it and gets brain freeze, though.

Viy has also changed into a cute swimsuit to match Anastasia, but its eyes remain as frightening as ever.

Height/Weight: 158cm, 40kg (Anastasia)

Origin: History/Legend (Viy)

Region: Russia

Alignment: Chaotic-Summer

Sub-Attribute: Human

Gender: Female

Viy's height has been recorded as anything between 30 and 50cm (oddly enough, it changes every time he's measured). His weight is unknown, but apparently, his eyelids are exceptionally heavy.

Now that it's summer, and she's in a Swimsuit Spirit Origin, her impish, prank-loving side is far, far more pronounced. As a result, she tends to not think twice about doing the sort of reckless things she would never otherwise have attempted, so you can't take your eyes off her for too long. Left to her own devices, she might end up doing something crazy, like diving headfirst into a pool of lava. Despite her Independent Action, she prefers staying with her friends, allies, and Master.

On that note, it seems she wants to treat her Master much the way a cat treats its owner (i.e. equal parts friendly, mischievously, carelessly, and cuddly, depending on her mood).

Independent Action with Viy: EX

As long as Viy is around, she can do just about anything on her own, including use her Noble Phantasm. However, in spite of her ability to act alone, she prefers not to leave Master's side if she has any choice in the matter.

Fairy Contract: B+

Her swimsuit contract is treated separately from her other contract.

Schwipsig (Summer): B+

It is what it says.

Enables Anastasia to control, manifest, and generate anything she thinks of as being connected to summer. Though powerful, it doesn't lend itself to attacking other things which might be connected to summer.

"I suppose I mainly use it to barbecue at the beach house."

Freezing Summer Time: A

Anastasia enjoys herself so much that she has to stop herself from wishing time would simply freeze. Uses Viy's Mystic Eyes to force things to a stop. By using it on herself rather than on others, she can halt any attack in place before it reaches her.

Accelerated Viy Viy Viy: B

A version that constantly keeps Viy's Mystic Eyes active. Provides an advantageous environment for Anastasia by inundating her surroundings in magical energy. In first-person shooter terms, it's like she has permanent high ground for sniping enemies.

『Snegleto Snegurochka』

Rank: B

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Range: 1 - 10

Maximum Targets: 1

Snowy Summer, How Beautiful the Drops of Rime.

Although Snegurochka is a snow maiden of Russian folklore, she is in no way connected to this Noble Phantasm. It uses Viy's Mystic Eyes to temporarily invert the season, then catapults the incredible energy generated by that very inversion at the target. It's beautiful to see, but you really wouldn't want to be on the business end of this attack.

『Underhand Freeze Sinker』

Rank: C

NP Type: Anti-Personnel

Range: 1 - 10

Maximum Targets: 1

Icy Pitch, Killer Baseball.

The Grand Duchess uses her killer underhand throw to seemingly lob a nice, soft snowball at her target. It is, however, a lump of tightly compressed ice disguised by powdery snow. By putting a little spin on the throw, she's able to give it far more destructive force than would seem possible. That alone would make it hard to deal with, but Viy's Mystic Eyes enable it to curve in flight while retaining the full force of a fastball.

This Noble Phantasm is, as a rule, not used in FGO. Probably.

Just as summer once enticed a die-hard shut-in to become a master of outdoor survival games, so too has it enticed Anastasia to become an impish outdoor prankster. At this point, Master may be the only one who can stop her from getting out of hand.

While the Caster version of Anastasia shows off her Grand Duchess side, this one has brought out her more free-spirited side. As a result, she cares much less for personal space (even putting aside her tendency to get very physically close to those with whom she is emotionally close) and her impish side also enjoys seeing people flustered around her.

However, presumably due to her Grand Duchess side receding into the background, it seems she also misses her siblings more in this form. If, as her Master, you would like to get to know her better, then you should try to do whatever you can to help stave off her loneliness.

Even after changing into her new swimsuit, Anastasia wasn't shy about telling her friends at Chaldea, "Well, I am still a Grand Duchess. I plan to keep behaving like the same modest, mild-mannered lady I've always been." (It goes without saying that her friends laughed in her face upon hearing that. This led to a heated argument.)

But, there was also one pure and innocent girl, who truly was modest and mild-mannered, who stood up for Anastasia. Not a beautiful carnivore, but an airheaded living time bomb and self-proclaimed French Space Cadet: (summer) Charlotte Corday.

"Hey, you're not stealing my shtick, are you? Are you sure? I mean, you're a Caster and everything!"

And so, these two destined individuals made a four-part pact, ultimately becoming friends.

"I'll take the right half, you take the left. Sound good?" (Anastasia)

"Sounds good!" (Corday)

Eventually, the Chaldea police would come after them, declaring that no, their agreed-upon division is wholly unacceptable, but it would be a long, long time before the two friends ran into this particular problem.
