Alaska
Artwork by TragedyWitch!
America hoped Belarus wouldn't kill her if she realized that she had a daughter with her dear brother of all people. Though, she will admit the sister of Russia is a scary girl, America faced worse.
Little Alaska, or Anastasia Jones/Braginski, born in 1912, was almost the carbon copy of her father, with his purple eyes, tall structure, and creepy personality (if she gets excited that is). Though, most of the time Ana was calm and emotionless to everyone around her. However, unlike her father, she has waist-length pale blonde hair that she keeps in a braid.
If you weren't a family member of hers, you wouldn't understand why she kept that up for a--seemingly--nine-year-old girl. You also wouldn't realize that she has nightmares almost every night about the huge rate of domestic violence in her state, with only her mother to calm her.
One night, America had been reading a book, hoping that would help her get to sleep, when she heard quiet sobbing in the doorway. Looking up, she saw a shaking and teary Ana, only six at the time.
"Nightmares again?" she asked gently, with her youngest daughter nodding in the positive in response.
America placed her book on the nightstand and walked to the little one, carrying her to her bed and singing softly to her in Russian. The older woman never acknowledged this, but her children thought she had a beautiful voice, no matter what language or accent she was singing in. Also since Anastasia often speaks in Russian, it was pretty clear that the younger girl wanted her mother to sing in that language as well.
America can also opera sing, but not very often.
After she finished singing, little Ana asked, "Мама, ты думаешь, я уже сошел с ума? (Mama, do you think I've gone mad?)"
America gazed over her daughter, looking for the signs, before saying, "Я считаю, что это так, но все лучшие люди. (I believe so, but all the best people are.)"
The older woman clearly remembered Anastasia staring at her in wonder before she finally went to sleep, no nightmares plaguing her that night. America wondered how her presence alone helped, but didn't think too much of it, as long as it helped her child sleep in peace.
Because of this, Anastasia shared something with her older half-brother Bernard, though while he had it worse, it was still something she could understand. It truly made America's heart ache, because at a young age, all her children had to experience things no child should, and they either had to mature quickly or were able to keep their innocence at a price.
Either way, as she continued to grow older, and because of her snowy climate, Anastasia wears a light purple coat--almost like her father's except a traditional jacket--, black shorts--as she doesn't get cold often--, long black socks, black laced boots, the matching gloves, and even a light pink scarf around her neck. She even carries a shovel, but only to defend herself.
Truly her father's daughter in appearance if you ignored the pale blonde hair, the only thing she inherited from her mother, and most of her personality.
Well, even with what scars her, the youngest child of America's family knew to treasure her family and help keep their mother as relaxed as possible, and yes, Anastasia can be quite violent when you get on her wrong side, and she isn't afraid to let you know about that.
Maybe when she is old enough and able to take care of themselves, America will allow Russia to know about his daughter, but not now.
If you want to listen to what America's singing, go to this link (). It's also not a finished song and it's on a talent show, so just be warned.
I also had to use Google translate for the Russian part, so if I did something wrong let me know and I'll try to fix it.
