Anja, a fifteen year old girl, lives in Nazi Germany (1942). Her mother always told her that she did not belong in this world, that they came from a place called Ivalice and that her father was from a Holy land known as Mt. Bur-Omisace. Anja grew up thinking her mother was just crazy as she persisted in telling her daughter stories about how they were banished to this world. She was told it was because of the love her mother cherished towards a Kiltias. And when Anja's mother dies, leaving her an orphan at the tender age of seven, she fears her questions will never be answered.
As Anja is adopted by a German family who cannot have children of their own, she is safe from the clutches of the Nazi's raiding the Country. But is Anja truly safe? She is neither a Jew, nor German; she is from Ivalice. However, she does not believe that to be true, until one night she is spirited away by a group of beings she had only ever heard about in her mother's stories.
Frightened, Anja arrives to Mt. Bur-Omisace, leaving behind the life she knew in Germany. Perhaps her mother wasn't as crazy as she thought. With guilt building up inside her, Anja is told the truth of who and what she really is. The people of Bur-Omisace leave her with a choice: become Priestess of Ivalice, or go back to Germany. The choice is entirely up to her.
Without much to lose, Anja chooses to stay and become their Priestess. From there, she is granted the power of her late father, The Gran Kiltias Anastasis, whom Anja soon learns she was named after. But becoming Priestess is not easy, especially when one is so young. Anja undergoes many trials before becoming Ivalice's Priestess.
To keep her safe, Anja's true identity is hidden behind a veil. She must remain looking gentle and mysterious, all this to trick anyone into thinking she is weak in case they wish to do her harm. And Anja is good at this game as she quickly learns the rules. But looking pretty and taking the place of her father is the least of her worries. A terrible evil is fast approaching Ivalice and she and company (Vaan, Penelo, Basch, Balthier, Fran, Ashe, and even Larsa Solidor) must gather all thirteen Espers in order to save their land, and only Anja is able to hold all Thirteen Espers inside her. In order to do this, Anja must remain pure-a virgin-otherwise the powers bestowed upon her will be taken away, and Ivalice will have an even bigger problem on their hands.
A tale of love and sacrifice shines light on our heroes one last time...
Author's Note: I am diving deep into the Lore of Final Fantasy 12 and will be changing it up a little bit to fit my own needs for the story. The story will be told through a series of years in order for characters to build relationships, grow as a character, and many many other things. Rest assured, a romantic relationship will grow between Larsa and Anja, but it will not happen RIGHT. AWAY. I want them to slowly grow closer to each other and build an unbreakable friendship. I WANT IT TO MAKE SENSE. And when the time comes for them to finally be together it will be glorious and well worth the wait-but not too much of a wait...perhaps. There will be plenty of fluffy moments between the two throughout the story.
Please follow this story so you wont miss any updates! And if you would be so kind as to leave a review, I would greatly appreciate it.
