Last Round - Anya moved into her little witchy cottage on the edge of town, and got started on her painting projects. She got a cat named Merlin too! She spent most of her time socializing with friends, and painting, and working on her spells!
Who's Who in the Zoo?
Anya is the daughter of Dev and Isaac, who was the youngest child of founder Ines Blondeau and her husband Noah. Anya is a twin of her brother Chandler, and they have a younger sister Sabine. These three have a couple aunts (Paloma and Estelle) and several cousins (Adela, Marceline and Clementine).
While Anya sleeps away the early morning hours, Merlin is on a path of destruction.
Nooo Merlin, bad kitty!
Taking a break from the mayhem.
Anya's up and ready for the day!
First order of business is her painting.
Then a little yard work!
Positive reinforcement of Merlin to encourage good behaviour.
A little witch work too!
I decided to have Anya open a business after all - I was going to have her just sell her paintings, but then she so rarely had chances to get out of the house. So she's opened a little new age-y crystal shop, called Natural Harmony.
Was very excited to find that I had a crystal chalkboard recolour!
Also, one thing that helped this quite a lot was her ROS - she won $50k simoleons on the lotto! She did still have a $20k loan for her house to pay back first, but much of the $30k went towards building the shop. It wasn't quite enough to fully furnish it, so it's a bit bare to start!
The front tables were full up though! Lots of crystals and generally esoteric stuff.
There's also jewelry for sale too.
Sally is lost!
Dad Dev comes in to support!
Anya was very peeved at Sally for not actually having money to spend.
I genuinely had no idea what to do with the extra floor space there is in here now, so I thought maybe the tea ceremony set....? Not sure if it will stay but for now I guess it vaguely fits the theming here.
Success!
Back home to her other job, she's a hard working lady!
With a little extra money she's able to start filling in these shelves a bit more.
Customers are also liking the jewelry a lot!
Rank two!
The snow is falling when Anya arrives back home that evening.
Mr. Penguin was there to welcome her home!
Today she headed out to have some brunch.
At the Good Egg Diner!
Her dad Chandler happened to be there too!
I tried to get them to have a quick outing so they could eat together but something went wrong, I can't remember what, so she ate on her own today.
Poor Lucy was being accosted.
Next she decided to stop by the Plumbbean Coffee Co for some espresso.
I imagine she likes the kind of artsy boho vibe here.
Saying hello to aunt Estelle!
Travis!! I can't believe I caught him cheating :o this man can't be trusted! He isn't even a romance Sim either, but this is the second time I've caught him cheating.
He was a townie before he met Starla, so in this case I wonder if this is someone he had previous history with, maybe an old flame? Can't say the same about his flirtations with Leah though. I've got my eye on you sir.... you're in trouble if Starla finds out...
Anya thought the employee at the cafe, Jack, was cute, so she introduced herself to him.
He does have a kind of soulful artistic look to him.
Enjoying the big bed back at home.
Her dad stopped by while she was out and must have left a note, so she called him to say hello that night.
Hmmm I have someone in mind...!
After a productive day at home, Anya makes a call.
Wish me luck Merlin!
They met for dinner at La Cantina Marinara.
And ended the night with a kiss!
Anya's round felt pretty quick, being just her. But hopefully... it won't just be her for too long!
