Anya Katsukova

Anya Katsukova is a nurse studying to be a doctor under the supervision of Dr. Blythe. She was originally born and raised in Mishara, moved to Aubeny when she was eight, and then came to Esk with Dr. Blythe. One of the things Anya was taught during her childhood was that there is no magic, which is why Anya finds it difficult to take in when things go bump in the night.

Anya's happiness comes from serving others more than herself. She looks out for everyone around her with a wish to preserve their health for as long as possible. She is also a very career minded young lady and absolutely refuses to do anything that may jeopardize her chances of becoming a doctor.

Quotes

Anya: Well you're married.

Chapter seven, page 206

Jonas: She haunts my dreams. I think she will not be satisfied until I am quite beyond help. Are all women so vindictive?
Anya: She only haunts you because you allow it. A dream is only as strong as its dreamer.
