Grand Duchess Anastasia is fondly referred to by me as the Jim Carrey of the family. She loved to play practical jokes and make fun of people. During studies, she was lazy and inattentive, and would do practically anything to get out of her studies. She would even climb trees and not come down unless her father ordered her to. She loved to make up games and get her brother, sisters, servants, even her parents involved. Because she was like this, she was known as Shvibzik, or "imp." She also had the reputation of being a tomboy.
