In these situations, Anna has been shown to remain respectful and calm, although she can equally be just as confrontational on certain occasions as well. During her first encounter with Hijiri, in spite of their tense atmosphere, Anna would praise Hijiri for her devotion towards Arata. Even in unexpected events, she is generally remains amiable and relaxed, once becoming greatly amused after Arata surprisingly lost to Arin and Yui during the Magical Research Showdown. Furthermore, Anna can also be quite playful and affectionate, particularly Arata whom she calls her enemy despite treating him tenderly.

However, underneath her seemingly pure exterior, Anna has been shown to have a rather sinister side, becoming hostile and menacing almost instantly. This dark nature of hers would even cause Hijiri to become wary of her after witnessing her sudden change.

Afterwards, in class, Anna is approached by her best friend Ayesha who congratulates her for completing the Last Technica and reviving the Lost Thema, Terminus. Anna offers to buy Ayesha crepes although Ayesha insists that she should treat her.

Later, as the two are eating, Ayesha requests Anna that avoid disappearing from the world as the founder of her magic, Elemental Conductor, the Saint of Revival. Anna assures her friend that she will not use her Final Crest despite being the reincarnation of the Saint of Revival. Ayesha, assured by Anna's promise, then states her desire to succeed her mother as a Paladin regardless of the difficulty. She next asks Anna of her plans to search for the Demon Lord Candidate. Anna is unsure as according to Ayesha's mother, the headmaster of Akarsha, the world will end if the Trinity Seven meets the Demon Lord Candidate. Ayesha confirms her mother's statement, also adding that she wants to either kill or seal him. Anna, however, is unsure if she is alright with those actions since she considers him her soulmate. Ayesha then declares that the Demon Lord will surely fall in love with Anastasia and decide to not destroy the world for her. Anna becomes happy at the thought, wishfully desiring to meet the Demon Lord Candidate.

However, Anastasia is suddenly awakend one night when the spirits become disturbed before discovering a Breakdown from the Luxuria Archive. Heading outside while transforming into her Magus Mode, she meets with Ayesha until she abruptly experiences a strange feeling. A worried Ayesha then discovers that Anna is slowly disappering. Anna quickly realizes that an existense similar to hers had arrived in their world, meaning that only one Trinity Seven of each Archive can exist in the world. As such, she will vanish from existense, however Ayesha refuses to accept her friend's fate. Likewise, Anastasia assures her that she will survive and protect the world from destruction by going into the "World of Demise" along with the Breakdown Phenomenon. Despite Ayesha's protest, Anna promises her that she will eventually return before the Demon Lord destroys the world. Ayesha sadly accepts, promising in return to become a Paladin in order to support her. After the two bid farewell, Anastasia performs her Final Crest, Aeshma Deva, and vanishes with the Breakdown Phenomenon.

In the present, Anastasia would return from the "World of Demise" and reunite with Ayesha as the Saint of Ressurection.

Spirit Magic
Anastasia-L's Thema is Terminus, an ancient "Lost Thema" from the Luxuria Archive, and her branch of magic is related to spirits. Describing her magic as "borrowing their power", Anna has the ability to communicate and interact with spirits. Particularly, as beings part of the world, only those favored are able to see them such as Arata, a Demon Lord. Furthermore, Anna can also use them to induce disturbances, once causing Arata to faint. Currently, she is able to summon and manipulate the following types of spirits:
 * Fire Spirit - A spirit enveloped in flames, capable of burning objects into ashes.
 * Demon Lord - As an existence desired and created by the world, a Demon Lord is also similar to a spirit. As such, Anna is capable of forcefully manipulating and controlling the Demon Lord. She is able to force Arata to turn into his Astral Trinity appearance, as well as turn him into a spirit for her to carry around. Additionally, she can indirectly place his conscious into a suit of armour as a puppet for her to control.

Notably, Hijiri once commented that Anna's Thema Terminus would devour Arata and his friends if countermeasures were not prepared in advance.
