Description
Anya Simonyan is a researcher specializing in vampire biology at the Zirnitra Union's Biomedical Research Institute. Her primary duty involves monitoring and analyzing medical data for the vampire test subject Irina Luminesk as part of the Nosferatu Project.

Raised in an orphanage, Anya later joined the Air Force Medical Institute. It was there her professional fascination with vampire physiology began, setting her apart from colleagues prone to fear or prejudice; she found her orphanage teachers more intimidating than her research subjects. Anya possesses light aubergine (purple) hair and blue eyes.

She maintains a professional yet approachable demeanor, consistently treating Irina with kindness and respect, contrasting sharply with the facility's common dehumanization of vampires. Her expertise covers unique vampire traits: their ability to taste blood (unlike regular food), vulnerability to heatstroke in sunlight, and enhanced athletic capabilities despite slender physiques. She approaches her work with scientific rigor combined with empathy for Irina.

A significant development occurs during a New Year's Eve outing. Anya gifts Irina a winter gown and takes her to celebrate in Laika44. She shares details of Zirnitran mythology and traditions like Ded Moroz and Snegurochka. During this time, Anya openly discusses her orphanage past and her professional interest in vampires, strengthening their rapport. Their shared dislike for the abusive training director Sagalevich serves as a bonding point.

Anya's scientific work is crucial for preparing Irina for spaceflight, particularly addressing necessary physiological adaptations. Her willingness to facilitate Irina's temporary freedom during the New Year's celebration demonstrates her role in challenging institutional dehumanization, ensuring Irina experiences moments of normalcy despite confinement.
