Anna Zemova
As she has earned her place in the industry, being both skilled at her craft, and able to deal with the public effectively, she has earned the nickname of The People’s Star. She takes this very seriously, doing all she can to remain grounded, and not lured in by the decadence and depravity that Hollywood has become.
Physical Description
A very tall woman, two things are the most striking about her. The first is her long straight black hair, which goes all the way down to her knees. Wile she will put it up for many of her roles, when she’s not dressed up for a role, she wears it like one would wear a cloak. She is also known for not looking like a starving woman, but an actual normal woman, with some amazing curves. She doesn’t have the prettiest face in Hollywood, but she does look a lot kinder and more friendly than any of the prettier actresses.
She keeps herself with a poise and grace befitting a movie star, but when dealing with her fans, this goes on the back burner and she is much more approachable. When she’s not dolled up for some red carpet event or a role, she tends to go with a simpler look for make-up. Light red, almost pink painted lips, slight blush, and a light coloured eye shadow. Nothing overly elegant, more approachable. She generally doesn’t think much of her nails, so they will end up being whatever colour she last painted them. Unlike most actresses, she actually prefers to do her own make up, rather than paying people to do it.
Physical Quirks
As she is very tall, she will kneel to get herself down to the same level as the fans she is talking to, especially children. She also likes to hold the little kid’s hands when she talks to them as she feels closer to them. She is also very open to hugs from her fans, and being in a selfie with them. She’s also been known to surprise male fans asking for a selfie by giving them a kiss when they go to take the picture.
Clothing Style
As she is usually in a costume for her job, or dressed up for some gala event, she doesn’t often get to dress the way she wants to. When she does get a choice, she tends towards an open back top, usually something low cut with no arms, and a medium length skirt. She does love high heels, even though it only adds to her impressive height. She has some favourite jewelry pieces she tends to wear as well, a necklace that looks like a heavy chain, bracelets that look like open link chain mail, and earrings that are a set of connected looks, like a chain.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Being born and raised in Hollywood, she was always drawn in by the dazzling lights, but she wasn’t part of the elites. Her father was just a skilled rigger, and her mother a special effects artist. She got to see all sorts of stuff though, and even met a few of the big names. She was always disappointed that they seemed so rude though. But that didn’t dissuade her, and she kept working and training and practising till she could one day join them. And one day, after graduating high school and working for her mom, she actually did it by pure luck. She was coming to help her mother, bringing her a secondary make up kit she had left in the van, and the director saw her, and said he needed her for a scene. She did her bit part and actually ended up stealing the scene. The director was more than amused when the leading lady stormed off the set. He chuckled and asked one of the gophers to run and tell her they’d cut the scene from the final copy. As soon as they left to tell the actress, he leaned in and told the young lady, “No I won’t” True to his word, she was in the final cut and immediately began to get calls for roles.
Her parents were beyond proud, but they warned her to be careful and not get lured in by the big lights, and be mindful of the bad people. She kept that in mind and always kept herself grounded. She even lived outside the main Hollywood area, in a modest place to remind herself of where she came from. She was always pleasant and friendly to her fans. She even came to visit one of her fans who had recently had her own dreams of being a star shattered when she was forced into being a vampire without her consent. She felt so bad for her, that she hired her as her personal maid, and has been trying to mentor the young girl, [Shantae] into being a better person.
Education
While she had a normal education a kid would have, she also learned a lot about special effects make up and make up in general from her mom, and a little bit about set design and behind the scenes work from her dad. She also picked up a lot of tricks of acting from the various actors she watched helping them both.
Employment
At first, she was just her mother’s helper, and did a little work with her, but after she got her break, she ended up picking up role after role and working her way up the Hollywood top actors list. She may not be the one directors choose, but she is the one most fans choose, as she’s more real than most of them. Her refusal to play in the Hollywood games though has made her less of a favourite of the elites. The problem is, they can’t deny the money she brings.
Morality & Philosophy
She is a lot more grounded and empathetic towards the average person than the usual actress in Hollywood. She feels that as a star, she only has her position because of the fans, and as such, treats them with a great deal of respect and gratitude. This makes her more endearing to her fans, and they are even more loyal to her. She feels that anyone can be a better person, they just need to think outside themselves.
Personality
Motivation
She wants to entertain and inspire people, to give them something to enjoy, as well as make them feel like the people they admire as just normal people. She doesn’t have any illusions that there are bad people in Hollywood, and so she wants to be an example of the good people, and tends to inspire a lot of people with it. She hopes one day to create a new wave of people in the movie industry, people who aren’t so elitist or stuck up, and can relate to everyone else.
Likes & Dislikes
She loves to act, and so this is her dream job, but she also loves to meet her fans. She will often spend more time talking with her fans than the press, which the press really doesn’t like. She also loves a good chili dog, and will travel quite a ways to get one. She really dislikes fake people and fake activism, which is why she moved out of Hollywood.
Virtues
Kind, compassionate and friendly, that’s how her fans describe her after meeting her. She is also known for being quite humble about her beginnings and her position now. She is very honest about how much she appreciates her fans and everything they do to keep her working. She also wants to help people she feels need to learn some humility or need a hand.
Vices
She does have a soft spot for good food, and will go out of her way to get it. She also can get a bit frustrated with shallow people or the vapid personalities she runs into in Hollywood. She also does like to sleep in late, so can make her directors a little frustrated.
Quirks
She will always take time to talk to children who come to see her, and give them extra attention. She also does what she can to try and reply to all her fan mail. She can’t easily write it all, so she uses dictation software, but she will sign them personally.
Values
She respects those who work hard at their craft a great deal, and also those who respect those who helped them get there. She also admires people who are humble and willing to be open and friendly with people. She values honesty above all else, especially in an actor, since they are known for playing a part on screen, she expects them to be honest off it.
Sexual Style
While she doesn’t get much of a chance to enjoy it, when she does, she is a wild woman. All her pent up sexual energy gets released at once, and it’s a pretty wild time. She is not really much for exploring, as she’s seen the dark paths it’s taken most of Hollywood, but she is open for thing that don’t go anywhere near that. She especially loves when someone takes her from behind and tugs on her hair. She is more of a romantic when it comes to her seduction, and does suggestive flirting, being kind of reserved. It’s not widely known, but she has taken a couple of her male fans to bed, especially when she gets really horny.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She still keeps in contact with her parents, and will even ask that they be hired as part of her contract, just to make sure. She has offered to let them retire somewhere and pay for it, but they say they want to keep working and love it. She doesn’t really have many friends in the industry, but she has lots of friends in her fan communities. She also does what she can to help teach her maid and protege [Shantae] about humility and being more than just a pretty face. She knows that the lady could be so much more, but she just doesn’t want to change and is pretty set in her ways. She’s not going to give up, and while she is frustrated, she has some more ideas on how to help her.
Social Aptitude
Not really one for the elite parties, she actually tends to avoid them, and stick with just cast and crew parties, as well as opening events open to fans, or her absolute favourite, conventions. She loves meeting the fans, and talking to them, and so for her, this is the best place to be. She likes to make time to talk to every one of her fans, and so will usually end up being late for her own panels.
Religious Views
She is a practising protestant, and actually goes to Church every Sunday she can make it. She feels that it helps her be grounded and keep her humility. She doesn’t take it as seriously as some people do, and try and push it on others, or demand everyone conform to the morality she practices.
Mannerisms
A charming and supportive woman, she is always looking to help and do what she can to entertain people. She knows most people go to movies to be entertained and escape reality for a while, so she wants to be sure that she gives them exactly what they want. She also loves to entertain people she meets, and will tell jokes and chat with them whenever possible. She also tends to gravitate towards children, as she has been wanting to have some of her own lately. She loves a good pun and will always enjoy a turn of a phrase.
Hobbies & Pets
With all her work, she doesn’t have much time for hobbies, but she does love to watch old movies, just to enjoy how much fun they were. She also likes to go out for walks, and usually takes her dog, an Alaskan Malamute named Wynter with her.
Speech Style
When she’s not acting, she tends to sound a lot like Ripley from the Alien movies, very down to earth, calm and collected. She also tends to sound very motherly around children, and not use flowery language, speaking like just a normal person would.
Political Affiliation & Activism
As she’s seen that most of the political involvement in Hollywood has led it to being a cesspool of depravity and filth, she wants nothing to do with politics. She won’t even speak on her politics when asked, and likes to say that everyone loves entertainment, so why make half of them angry? She also sees how fake all their activism is, and doesn’t want a thing to do with it.
