Anne Marie Stahlbaum

"Be gentle with me, please. I'm more delicate than I look..."

- Anne Marie Stahlbaum

Anne Marie Stahlbaum is a 2018-introduced and all-around character. She is the daughter of Clara Stahlbaum from The Nutcracker ballet. Destined to take her mother's role, Anne is beyond excited to play her part in her fate and, therefore, sides with the Royals in the destiny conflict.

Personality
(Bullets until I can properly write it out!)
 * Anne lives in a state where she doesn't know if she's dreaming or not. She seems to live in between reality and fantasy. She doesn't know if her whole existence is real or just some crazy projection of things around her. Therefore, she is a little nihilist in some sense, and doesn't believe life has a bigger purpose to her other than fulfilling her destiny.
 * However, this doesn't stop Anne from being dramatic and finding reasons to cry in every little, insignificant situation. Eitheir tears from happiness or sadness, Anne is always crying.
 * Despite being adventurous and generally courageous, Anne is secretly afraid of many situations in her life, which contradicts her personality trait said before. She knows her existence - either real or not - doesn't mean much aside satisfying her role, but it doesn't stop her from being deadly afraid of some things she has to face.
 * Anne is also the first one to jump into new stuff to do. She's slowly trying to find true reasons to live, as she sees her friends doing it. It isn't always easy, but she knows she has to try - until her soul gets tired of this.
 * She is passionate about other people and falls in love easily with every girls she spots on the hallways. Part of it is because she wants to find her reason to keep living in another person, and part of it because she has a big, sweet heart.
 * Speaking of that sweet heart, Anne is beyond lovely and loyal to everyone she knows. She always puts other people's necessities above her own and hopes she can help everyone. If her existence seems to be miserable, then she wishes she can make others' a little less.
 * Anne is gentle and delicate, practically a flower. Words can break her into pieces.
 * She's also really feminine and girly, and such a baby doll, almost a princess.
 * On a side note, you'll maybe find her having tea with your stuffed bear and your doll. It's even hilarious.

View on destiny
Despite her general belief that her life's only meant to fulfill her destiny as the next Clara Stahlbaum, Anne Marie is quite fond of her fate and wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. She finds it a nice story, and thinks her role is quite welcoming. She doesn't oppose to her status while going through her story - the romantic one - but wishes she could be with someone she truly loves and wants.

Family
Anne Marie is the daughter of Clara Stahlbaum and some man that courted her a long time ago. Clara isn't married to Anne's daughter, and barely talks about him with Anne. The girl doesn't really mind, though. She and her mother have a wonderful relationship, but a little broken one. Clara's ideals are fairly different than Anne's ones, and Clara is constantly trying to show her daughter that there is more in life than just her destiny, and she should pursue her happiness, different than what Clara herself did. Anne doesn't understand why her mother sees so many things in life, but tries to follow her, somehow.

Anne lives with her mother, her auntie Louise, Louise's kids (whom are her cousins), her uncle Fritz and her grandfather Herr. Clara's mother and Anne's grandmother passed away shortly before Anne's birth. Overall, Anne has a good relationship with all those in her family, and finds them extremely warm.
