She's very quick-tempered and easily provoked. Judgement disappears, and Anya finds herself blinded with rage, and quite revenge-obsessed. Vengeance has been known to push her in directions she would never have expected, and will test her mind for control. She's very driven she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it.

One other thing, don't try and manipulate her because she will strike back only ten times harder. So you might want to think twice.
Appearance:
.
Anya isn't very tall, in fact she's an average height for a woman of her size. So when she has to reach for something, she'll be able to reach for it within reason. If she can't, she'll ask for help from someone taller. However sometimes, she uses a step stool, but someone destroyed it when a first year blew up their cauldron. Normally she keeps things within her reach so that she doesn't have to ask. Anya doesn't like having to ask for things, she's too stubborn for that. For not only being an average height, Anya is approximately one hundred and thirty five pounds. She's pretty much height and weight proportionate. She stays active which keeps her in fit condition.
Always being one that tends to walk a lot instead of using her broom or apparating. Instead she prefers to enjoy the scenery around her. She's always running around preparing things for the students and the other staff. For some odd reason, Anya's eyes are the most noticeable feature on her. Not only are they almond shaped, but when the light his them, they are a sapphire blue color. A color between a reflected prism of blues. Light, yet dark at the same time. Then when she's in the darkness, her eyes are like a dark oceanic blue. They are very enchanting and sometimes it draws people to her and sometimes she doesn't realize it. To her and others they are very unique, but beautiful.
The layers of ruffled hair, Anya is definitely recognizable by the color of her hair. She was the only one in her family who has blond hair, not just blond. Her hair is a platinum blond color. This is something she could never explain nor could anyone else in her family. She sort of feels like an odd ball in that sense, she doesn't like it in the least because she feels left out. She's rather have brown hair rather than that color, unfortunately every time she uses a color changing spell, it comes right out. So she's basically stuck with it. Yet, its soft and full volume and easy to manage. Anya has fair skin. Pale peach and silky smooth. She has a few imperfections one being when she is out in the sun.
Being that she's fair skin, she tends to burn instead of tan. However, when out for long periods of time, the sun will leave a light reddish color to her skin. Yes it takes a little bit for her to burn, but when she does, be careful not to touch her otherwise you will regret it. She will be like a mad Hornet being disturbed from the nest. Well, most would prefer to have loads of piercings on their body, or covering most of their body. Anya prefers to have just her ears pierced. She has two holes in each ear. Still remembering the first time she ever got her ears pierced, it was almost like it was yesterday. The way the sharp point push with such force into her ear, the end result were two sparkling diamond earrings.
Sure it hurt for a little bit, but afterwards, she admired them and the pain went away. After graduation, Anya got another pair in her ears. So now she has hoops in one ear and diamonds in the other two. Anya isn't much on body art, however, she was a part of a group in her school that held a close bond even till now. It was the symbol of a dragon and the mouth was shaped into a snakes mouth with it's mouth wide open showing the fangs protruding from it. It was a unique design that they liked so she and eight others have the same tattoo. The location of the tattoo is on the upper right shoulder. The only special marking that Anya has is the tattoo on upper right shoulder.
The other marking she has is her birth mark which is right where her thigh and her hip meet. The unique thing about it is, it's in the shape of a heart. How that happened, it's unknown to her and she doesn't like where it's located. At least it's hidden.
History:
Anya was born and raised in the outskirts of London. Her parents Kendra and Erik Sawyer were both Pure bloods in the wizarding world but preferred they preferred a normal life for their daughter and knew that by the time Anya turned eleven, she would begin getting her powers as a witch. So the Sawyers prepared themselves for that, they hired a live in nanny name Sophie Kentel, whom was a pure blood witch who had recently graduated from Hogwarts. This way could go to work and know that their daughter was in safe hands. Anya's mother Kendra was a Healer at St. Mungos Hospital and her father Erik worked for the Ministry as a Hit Wizard. Growing up for Anya was easy and hard as well, she didn't get to see much of her parents, only because they were trying to make enough money to support her and themselves as well as pay Sophie for keeping watch over Anya.
As Anya grew older, she was quick to make friends in the area of which she lived, later, Sophie put her in a muggle school and there Anya made a few friends. During that time, Kendra and Erik decided to make Sophie a part of the family since her parents didn't want hardly much to do with her. So Anya gained a big sister. From there, Anya and Sophie became the best of friends and Sophie did her best to take care of Anya. When she started gaining her powers, at first Anya didn't know what was going on and finally her parents and Sophie sat down and explained to her that she was a witch. The only reason why they kept her from knowing was because they wanted her to have a normal life, but knew that she would never have one. Anya was upset that they kept it from her, but Sophie vowed to help Anya understand her powers till she was placed into a school.
On her eleventh birthday, Anya received a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Excited as she was, she realized that she would never be able to be around her friends again. Sadden by this, Anya refused to go, but her sister and parents helped her gain confidence that she would make new friends and be with people just like her. With that, she finally agreed to go and Sophie took her shopping for her school items and had a blast doing so. Anya was finally given the chance to see where her parents were working all those years. When school came around, Anya was excited to go and practically couldn't wait. Her parents and Sophie watched her as she left to go to Hogwarts. Sophie ended up getting a job at one of the local shops, Kendra and Erik continued working and Anya was in school. During her years at Hogwarts, she was sorted into Slytherin and had made a lot of new friends and met loads of people.
Anya worked hard and took on more than she could handle, but managed to get things done accordingly. Working her way up in years, she grew to become a very beautiful young girl striving to do her best to get good grades but still caused a lot of trouble in her time. She was just smart enough not to get caught. During her time in school, she had managed to become a Prefect and by her Seventh year she was Head girl. Graduation day had come and gone, her parents and Sophie was so proud of her for making it through and bought her a vacation to France. Obliged and ecstatic about it, Anya went however, she never came back. She found a job out there working as the Secretary of the Minister of Magic there. She worked long hours and kept a pretty active lifestyle. Eventually she gave up the position to become a Professor at Beauxbatons. She kept in touch with her family and even bought them tickets to come out and visit her. Surprised to find out that Sophie got married and was expecting, Anya was soon to become an Aunt and was thrilled.
After spending as much time as she could with her family, she knew that they were going to have to go back and promised that she would return to London soon. Working harder than ever to save up money to move back to London. Two years and six months went by when she gave her resignation to Beauxbatons and left to go back to London. Now that's she's back, she hopes to get back into routine and be with her family once again.
