Anastasia
Three months later.
Many things has changed since her arrival in Nexus, certainly. She not only was cut off from the society she used to dilligently serve, but the city was in general state of chaos compared to ordered societies. Even if past three months has proven to be quite peaceful in comparison to her earliest days in the city. But even though she suffered a crushing defeat at hands of enemies who killed Leo The Great and this loss still weighed on her when it came to her self-assessment and the outlook on the place, even with the most pessimistic assumptions she couldn't say that there weren't good things in her new life. The economy didn't tank, she still earned money from her lowly job as a mall clerk and she didn't have to even fight off much of monsters these days.
There was a reason why she was now sitting by a table in front of a cafe, under umbrella, waiting for someone to come. It was a middle of the summer season, probably a great time to take a day or two off. The raven haired girl was wearing brown shorts, sandals, white sleeveless undershirt and unbuttoned blue shirt on top of it. Along with sunglasses to protect her eyes. She wasn't actually used completely to the summer being as hot as further south to her former land.
The person she was waiting for was someone she technically took under her wing even if she passed her training to someone who was more apt to instruct her. But still, her obligations towards her (former) student remained, and honestly she felt attached to her. They weren't similar and certainly she was the more responsible of the two, but deeply in her heart she didn't mind those differences. Her passion for life and emotional side contrasted well with Anastasia's own self-discipline and a measure of pessimism. And truth to be told, they were both eccentric souls, just a different brand of eccentricity that played off against each other like in some sort of a comedic duo. So it wasn't actually that surprising that they got along pretty well.
And the fact that her companion was a vampire didn't seem to bother her much, if at all. She didn't carry the pre-conceptions about vampires that many arrivals have shared with her when she ended up here, her stance on vampires starting as a blank state due to the fact that she only learned of their existence in Nexus. There weren't even stories about bloodsuckers that were told in her world. Of course, knowing what Medaka was capable of made her aware that a vampire who would indiscriminately attack people would be certainly a threat, but as her friend wasn't someone dangerous to the society and was even well-meaning outright, she just decided to segregate her kind as she would segregate people. People who viewed vampires as monsters weren't few in numbers, and they would scoff at her stance, but she didn't care about that.
