【Be On The Lookout For...】
“ Nothing. You'll never see me coming.”
☞Height☜5'10" (variable)
☞ Weight☜ 125 lbs
☞ Eye Color ☜ Blue (variable)
☞ Hair ☜ Dark brown and kept long, straight and loose. (variable)
☞ Body Type☜ Ana's natural body type is very much like her mother's. Tall, lithe and more arms and legs than she knew what to do with, especially when she was a kid. Slim hipped with a healthy bust, she's very aware that her appearance can become overtly sexual which results in her not being taken as seriously as she'd like
☞Special Markings☜
Anastasia's appearance is always fluid, but when she's in her "normal human" form she has a few tattoos. Preferring words to images those are what constitute most of them. Two on her ribcage referencing Nietzsche and her own poetry and one on her shoulder referencing Shakespeare. She is most definitely her father's daughter.
☞Extras☜
Ana's true natural form is one that very few have ever actually seen and most aren't even aware it exists. You would think with parents who were as unique looking as Anastasia's she'd resemble them more, perhaps by being blue or furry and you would be right. Anastasia actually resembles Mystique quite a bit with a few differences. While Mystique has red hair Ana's is naturally brunette and unlike both her mother and brother Kurt, Anastasia's eyes are naturally very pale blue with a visible pupil. Anastasia also shares her mother's unease with her natural look choosing instead to keep her appearance as human as possible.
【Behind The Mechanics】
“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. ”
☞Likes☜
+ Learning. Anastasia shares her father's voracious appetite for knowledge reading anything and everything she can get her hands on.
+ Being Social. When Ana isn't in one of the distant corners of the planet on some assignment she was at home in the mansion with all the rest. Never one to let things get dull and boring, Ana is usually trying to organize some event or party, being a general gossip and is always the first person you want to go to if there's anything you want to know.
+ Fashion. Being capable of forming whatever clothing she desired Anastasia fell in love with high fashion. Pretty easy when you never have to actually buy any of it, or launder it or wear it twice if you didn't want to.
+ Technology. Be it the newest phone, laptop, gaming system or whatever hi-tech new fangled device they'd assigned to her at S.H.I.E.L.D. Anastasia adored it. She is incredibly adept at programming/hacking which comes in quite handy in regards to her profession
+ Music. While Anastasia admits to no musical talent herself she loves music. Classical, eighties alternative, indie, hip-hop...you name it, she digs it.
+ Being in control. Ana is a bit of what you would call a control freak, perhaps due to the fact that she can control every detail and aspect of her appearance. It would only make sense that she'd also like to be able to control everything else as well. She's not overbearing, or overly demanding she just has an idea in mind and is quite put out when it doesn't come to fruition. Especially if it's due to someone else lapse.
☞Dislikes☜
+ Her natural appearance. Much like Mystique, Masquerade is uncomfortable with her abnormal looks. It wasn't very safe to look different, times hadn't changed especially when it came to mutants and Anastasia preferred if no one looked at her at all. As she grew older her opinion changed and instead decided that if people did have to look at her then they'd see the "beauty" and never the "beast".
+ Failing. Something that Anastasia isn't very familiar with, with her intellect and abilities Ana had never had to try very hard to succeed. Though as one grows older one realizes you can't succeed at everything and in fact more often than not the odds were firmly in favor of failure. Anastasia will do anything and everything in her power to complete her assignments even going as far as to risk her life and possibly the lives of others. All for the greater good is how she sees it. If thwarted she is prone to bursts of rage which burn bright and hot and sputter out relatively quickly.
+ Assumptions. When most people look at Anastasia McCoy they see an obviously attractive woman with a body honed by years of training and espionage. People naturally assume someone who looks likes Ana can't possibly be smart. They make digs at her personal appearance and lack of intelligence to her face as if she won't catch it. Women think she's a whore, men think she's easy which are both untrue. Though it bothers her she doesn't speak up knowing that in the grand scheme of things it's better to let people assume whatever they want.
+ Being left to her own devices. Being a rather social creature Anastasia likes to be surrounded by people and noise, even if she's just doing her job and blending in.
+ The fact that she can't seem to foster any kind of stable, romantic relationship with anyone. Everything was short-term for her. Ana didn't know where or who she'd be from one day to the next and it made it nearly impossible for there to be anyone serious in her life.
☞Habits☜
+ Anastasia is a notorious gossip and snoop. She's naturally very curious and her ability makes it incredibly easy, too easy.
+ Drinking. Something she picked up on one of her assignments that she couldn't drop. She's not an alcoholic per se, she just tends to overindulge when the opportunity arises, never while working. Ana isn't worried about it, though it was something that had once concerned her father enough for him to have a discussion with her about it.
+ Ripping any piece of paper or napkin in her hand into tiny bits. Something she's done since she was a child that annoys everyone.
☞Fears☜
+ People seeing her true self. It'd been so long since Ana herself had seen her own blue skin and odd pale eyes in a mirror it seemed like a dream and if things went as planned she'd never dream it again.
+ Losing anymore of her family. The list keeps dwindling and even now she could sense her older brother, Eric, pulling away. She's vowed to do everything in her power to make sure no one else is lost, now it was her turn to be the protector perhaps.
☞Aspirations☜
Anastasia hopes for normalcy one day. The whole wife, mother, picket fence, get a dog thing. Sure she'd a be a mom who was licensed to kill, but in her opinion being licensed made her more responsible. She yearns for a partner in crime, someone who could see beyond the shifting layer that was her appearance and through to who she was as a person.
One day, not anytime soon or anything. She was young yet after all. She wanted to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Anastasia viewed S.H.I.E.L.D. as her life having been an agent her entire adult life. She sees no other place for herself and is quite ambitious if maybe not the most qualified. Yet.
☞Secrets☜
Her secret drinking problem which she denies even to herself. Though never out of control while on assignment while away from work Ana will spend days at a time drunken and oblivious. This is something she keeps away from the school though she also has a hidden cache of alcohol, you know, just in case.
That she's ashamed of her abilities, appearance and generally with the fact that she's a mutant. Ana knows that this would be the last thing either of her parents would want her to feel and that her father had instilled in her her whole life that she was perfectly perfect the way she was. She just couldn't see it the way he had.
There's also the fact that Anastasia is always naked. Her ability grants her the power to arrange her molecules in any way she desires, including into clothes and jewelry.
☞Disabilities☜
Anastasia suffered from an eating disorder that began when she was twelve which was triggered by her mutation. With the constant need to be in control of something, anything when her life seemed to be such chaos she grabbed onto the one thing that had turned against her. Her body. Waking up literally blue one morning did nothing to help matters, by this time her father was well aware that his daughter needed help which he acquired for her discretely. Til this day Anastasia still feels triggered to starve herself or work out maniacally when incredibly stressed. A fact she also tries to keep hidden...so many secrets.
Synesthesia is something Ana has lived with her entire life and didn't know was abnormal until she was told that people didn't see things the same way she did. having Spatial Sequencing Synesthesia meant Ana saw numbers, dates and times surrounding her. She could point at the number eleven which could be to her right, Wednesday over her shoulder and the year 1989 near her left foot. There is some thought that people with SSS have superior memories though it is something Ana has neither proven or disproven.
☞Personality☜
[Sly][Intelligent][Vengeful][Secretive][Gregarious][Hopeful][Loyal][Ambitious]
Charming, sweet and quick, these were the things that came to mind when most people thought of Anastasia McCoy. Much like her father, Hank McCoy, Ana was extremely intelligent and surprisingly gregarious even though she was a naturally secretive and furtive child. Paired along with her curiosity, Ana was constantly found sneaking around, eavesdropping and being generally nosy and while not done out of ill will it was something that her father did his best to discourage. People had a right to their privacy and it wasn't right of her to take that away from them he'd told. Which as a spy for S.H.I.E.LD. had actually become her career, something which didn't seem to bother her father now that it was done in the name of justice.
Anastasia can be highly manipulative, an added tribute to her abilities, and is sometimes called out for being a bit of a control freak. Anastasia felt as though if she weren't in control of certain situations that they would never come into fruition. At least not like she saw them, she was methodical and painstaking in her planning and if she had to use her mutation to achieve her goals she wouldn't hesitate.
The shapeshifting mutant was incredibly loyal and ambitious, having already plotted the course she wanted for her career she was now trying to piece together some semblance of a private life. Something Anastasia had no idea how to do but was determined to succeed at.
【Armed And Dangerous...】
“ I am everyone and no one. Here and there and nowhere. Faceless and nameless is all you'll ever know. ”
☞ Mutant Alias ☜
Masquerade
☞Mutation☜
Metamorph
☞Mutation Capabilities☜
Anastasia is a metamorph like her mother Mystique which means she has the ability to shift her cells into formations of other people. Even down to fingerprints, retina patterns, and voices. She is also able to reproduce the appearance of clothes, jewelry, weapons and other accessories.
Since Ana is capable of constantly shifting her cells they are constantly rejuvenating which retards the aging process while also giving her enhanced healing. Also has the ability to become immune to some toxins if introduced into her system.
☞Skills☜
+ Mistress of Disguise. Obviously
+ Enhanced Agility gained from either or both parent.
+ Knowledge and mastery of cutting edge weaponry
+ Extremely skilled actress
+ Enhanced memory of dates and times due to synesthesia
+ Highly trained in hand to hand combat as an assassin/spy
+ Adept in the reading and interpretation of other people's body language
☞Equipment☜
Anastasia doesn't own much being able to replicate whatever she might need or given her weaponry by S.H.I.E.L.D. Though she has a few things she has kept through the years due to sentimental value.
+ Pocket Watch that once belonged to her father and his father and his father before him. It's silver and never keeps the right time but Ana cherishes it.
+ Compass. An old brass compass hanging from a tarnished old chain. Something that once belonged to her mother which she keeps tucked away in an old jewelry box.
+ Her irreplaceable record collection along with her record player
+ Her phone. Always her phone.
☞Weaknesses☜
+ While Ana is capable of shifting into nearly anything her body mass remains the same. So even if she's assumed the form of someone who is seven feet tall and weighs 500 lbs she'll still only weigh 125 lbs.
+ Though she possesses enhanced healing it doesn't mean she is immortal. One good bullet to the brain and she'd be done for and while she does have a resistance to some disease and toxins she is not immune to everything.
+ Capable of holding forms for long periods of time though the "thinner" she is stretched the harder it is to hold. It can become very exhausting pretending to be someone else day in and day out, on your body and mind.
+ Quick to lose her temper when thwarted or feeling especially frustrated, something she becomes deeply ashamed of once it's retreated.
【A Glimpse Into The Past...】
“ Every saint has a past, Every sinner has a future.”
☞History☜
Anastasia was born on a snowy night to Raven and Henry McCoy, better known as Mystique and The Beast. She came into the world, perfect, pink and for all accounts and purposes quite normal much to the chagrin of her mother. The idea of once again having another child without a mutation was something Mystique never wanted to deal with. She loved her husband and she wanted to love her daughter and did her best to mask her disappointment. All Raven could hope for was that one day her daughter's mutation would manifest itself and she'd finally be able to breathe free.
Needless to say Ana was a complete daddy's girl, finding her gentle giant of a father to be fascinating and patient with his quite precocious daughter. Ana knew her mother kept her distance from her because she was afraid she'd be an average human, Ana had been old enough to see the relief in her mother's eyes when Junior had finally revealed his mutation. Anastasia knew that now all of Mystique's focus would be upon her, waiting for the day when her daughter would come into her own as well. Secretly the youngster hoped that the day would never come. How bad could it be to be "normal"?
It was shortly after Junior's mutant abilities made themselves known that Raven took her children and grandchild to Charles Xavier, knowing that this would be the safest place for them in the long run. At least for the ones who proved mutant. If Ana never showed any mutation she would at least be with her father. Either way that was the last time Anastasia ever saw her mother. They were never close but she hopes that wherever Mystique is she's alive and that one day Ana will have the chance to actually talk to her and perhaps learn from her.
After having been left behind by her mother, Ana became even closer to her father. Sharing his interests in literature, science and philosophy it was if she were a tiny Hank McCoy. Spending her first few years at the mansion exploring every nook and cranny, the girl had found quite a few hiding places to amuse herself in. She wasn't being trained or taught to use powers because she didn't have any and when her father was busy, which he often was, she was left to her own devices. Which usually consisted of spying, eavesdropping and learning secrets to be shared some other time. Anastasia was often reprimanded when caught and instead of stopping she just became better at staying hidden. Something that would prove to be an ability she would hone to an almost preternatural strength.
By the time Ana had reached eleven she'd begun to manifest certain symptoms of her mutation. Scraped knees were gone in no time, no more scars, no colds and this began to frighten her. Feeling as though she were losing control of herself and who she was becoming Anastasia developed an eating disorder, determined to gain control of the one thing that was turning against her. Her body. When she turned thirteen years old she was 5'7" and weighed 85 lbs, something which alarmed her family who couldn't help but to notice her gauntness if not her mutation. After having starved and stressed her body to it's maximum her mutation finally broke free and fully manifested itself. Anastasia was blue, and she didn't mean depressed. Her skin was now a pale blue, her eyes pale and strange and her hair now so black it was nearly blue. She was a shapeshifter, just like dear old mom. Where was she when you actually needed her was all Ana could think to herself as she watched her reflection slip back and forth between her two faces.
Terrified of what she saw now in the mirror Anastasia relied on her father to help come to terms with her mutation and even how to begin controlling it. It was also her father who organized a way to help his only daughter through her eating disorder. It took a lot of hard work and concentration but Anastasia was finally able to gain some semblance of control over life and her power in her late teens, it was then that S.H.I.E.L.D. approached her to join the fold as an agent of espionage. Something Anastasia jumped at, finally something she would be good at. Finally a way to step out of her family's shadow and perhaps a reason why she was born like this. Now she'd be able to prove her strength and that she wasn't a delicate flower that had to be watched and guarded at all times.
Having been an agent for nearly nine years, Anastasia has seen much, been many people and even had to kill a few. it wasn't something she dwelt on, it was her job and she was fighting for what she thought was right. At least what her father thought was right. After the events of M - Day Anastasia has returned swiftly back to what she considers home. To see what remained of her family and hopefully to find answers to how they were all supposed to live in peace and harmony now.

☞Thoughts on Humans☜
Ana is quite open-minded when it comes to her views on humans. Of course she'd prefer it if everyone could look past their differences and find a way to work towards peace but then she'd be putting herself out of a job.
