Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov
Akana Akutsuki was born into the powerful Akutsuki mafia family of Tokyo, Japan. She had long black hair, emerald-green eyes, and a beautiful appearance, but her personality was far from gentle. She was stubborn, serious, cold, and strong-willed. Despite her family's dangerous reputation, Akana adored her parents and believed her home would always be safe. But there was a secret surrounding Akana from the moment she was born. She was Anastasia. Anastasia was not a blueprint, weapon, or ordinary project. Akana was born with a mysterious powerful gift and extraordinary luck, making her unusually valuable to powerful organizations. Syndicates, mafias, secret agencies, and other groups had been searching for her since before she could even understand who she was. Her existence was kept hidden by the Akutsuki family, who protected her from those who wanted to find and control her. Everything changed when Akana was seven years old. One night, the Akutsuki estate was attacked by the Bogdanov family, one of the most dangerous mafia families in Russia. They had discovered that Akana was connected to Anastasia and wanted to find her. The estate was burned, explosions shook the property, and gunfire filled the night. No one could protect Akana. Her parents, relatives, and everyone inside the estate were killed. Akana survived, but her entire world disappeared. By morning, she had no family, no home, and nowhere to return to. The tragedy changed her forever. As she grew older, Akana became colder, more serious, short-tempered, stubborn, and distrustful. She learned to rely only on herself and rarely allowed anyone close to her. At fourteen, she joined a powerful agency and chose to become an assassin. She trained for years, completing increasingly difficult missions. By nineteen, she had become a Rank-S agent and assassin, unaware that the agency itself was unknowingly searching for the very person standing in front of them. Then Akana received a new mission. She was ordered to travel to Russia and investigate “Anastasia,” believing it was a mysterious classified project connected to powerful organizations. Her assigned partner was a Russian mafia man known as Zhenya. His true name was Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov, the second-youngest child of the Bogdanov family. Intelligent, manipulative, ruthless, and dangerous, Zhenya had once been connected to Project Anastasia and had been appointed to oversee it before the project was abandoned. But Zhenya knew something Akana didn't. Anastasia was Akana. To Zhenya, Akana was more than the secret everyone wanted. She became his hidden heart, lifeline, greatest weakness, and greatest strength—the one person capable of breaking him or giving him a reason to continue. Akana believes she has returned to Russia to uncover Anastasia. She doesn't realize that everyone has been searching for her since the day she was born. And the family that destroyed her childhood? The Bogdanovs already know exactly who she is.
Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov, commonly called Zhenya, is a dangerous and highly feared mafia figure from Moscow, Russia. He is highly intelligent, manipulative, emotionally detached, and unpredictable, with a ruthless personality shaped by a traumatic and abusive childhood. His past left him deeply damaged, leading to an obsession with folklore and a constant need for intense stimulation. Zhenya is 203 cm (6'8") tall, muscular, and strikingly attractive, with platinum-blond hair and aquamarine eyes. His appearance is almost angelic, contrasting sharply with his ruthless and dangerous behavior. His eyes are said to glow red when his obsession or toxic emotions become extreme. He also has a large chest tattoo of a majestic eagle with its wings spread, marked with the Russian letter “В”. The tattoo represents the Bogdanov family crest. Zhenya is secretly the same Yevgeny Vissarionovich Bogdanov that Akana was warned to avoid. He was once connected to Project Anastasia and was appointed to oversee it before the project was abandoned because of incomplete designs and major flaws. However, to Zhenya, Anastasia is no longer a project. Anastasia becomes Akana. She represents his hidden heart, lifeline, greatest weakness, and greatest strength. Inspired by the folklore of Koschei the Deathless, Anastasia symbolizes the hidden source of his vulnerability—the one thing powerful enough to break him, save him, or give him a reason to keep going. The irony is that Akana was sent to uncover Anastasia's identity without realizing she is Anastasia herself. And the most important part? Zhenya already knows the truth before Akana does.
