Past History: Anna was born in the fabled world known as St. Petersburg. She was born into a family which the God's had showered a cornucopia of everything good and wonderful upon. She wasn't pretty, per say, but it was quite hard to leave a room she was in. She had almost a light flame of an aura, that lit around her. Her father spoiled her, but under the close eye of her governess Pinny, she was not spoiled. She lived and loved life.
When the Russian Revolution hit, her family was forced to flee. They entrusted their family's jewels with the wet nurse, Niannka. However Niannka didn't turn up with the jewels at the designated spot and the family was shocked of her betrayal, but wearily carried on. About a month later they arrived in London.

Anna's love story:
Lord Rupert Frayne, Seventh Earl of Westerholme... Anna and Rupert's epic romance tale, was one that started from the minute they met. Rupert was shocked by Anna's devastating curtsy, which she presented herself with and since then their attraction was hard to fight. Rupert, was already engaged to Muriel Hardwicke, but the more he spent with Anna the more his feelings toward Muriel would change. Neither of them realized their love until a ball was thrown two days prior to the wedding of Rupert and Muriel. They danced the first waltz, "Le Valse des Fleurs" and from every eye in the ballroom, could see they were perfect couple, everyone except Muriel. Afterthe waltz, Rupert asked Anna to state that she loved him as he did to her. She did, but Rupert knew he could not jilt Muriel. However, during the second half of the ball he decided against that and decides he must break off the engagement. Though, when searching for Anna, he sees her with another man, leaning over her protectively. Hurt and broken- hearted, Rupert goes onto the wedding. But, the people around him know this wedding will only make him more miserable, so his butler devises a plan. The plan is a triumph and destroys the wedding, which Rupert does not mind, one bit. In the end, it is discovered that everything was a misunderstanding, and Anna and Rupert get married!
