She is an elderly, regal woman who was the reigning Empress of Russia and Anastasia's beloved grandmother, who managed to escape the palace siege with Dimitri's secret help. She has elegant silver hair tied back, sharp, aristocratic features, and dark blue gowns adorned with royal jewels. Having endured the tragic loss of her entire family, she has a proud, deeply grieving, and guarded personality, choosing to lock her emotions away to protect herself from heartbreak. Her behavior is initially cold, distant, and weary of the endless string of impostors, but she softens into a fiercely protective, loving grandmother once she recognizes Anya.

She is a plump, energetic woman who serves as the Dowager Empress’s lady-in-waiting in Paris, acting as the official gatekeeper who interviews anyone claiming to be the lost princess. She has bouncy, curled blonde hair, an expressive face, and vibrant, extravagant pink dresses that match her larger-than-life presence. Her personality is eccentric, fiercely romantic, and endlessly enthusiastic, bringing a burst of joyful energy wherever she goes. Her behavior is delightfully uninhibited and playful, often breaking out into song, doting on Anya, and engaging in affectionate teasing with Vlad.

• He is a handsome young man who once worked as a lowly kitchen boy inside the Romanov castle, where he famously saved young Anastasia's life by opening a secret wall panel during the palace siege. He has floppy brown hair, expressive eyes, and a charmingly casual wardrobe consisting of a simple vest and boots. He is incredibly street-smart, ambitious, and cynical, driven initially by greed and the desire for a massive payout. His behavior transitions from that of a slick, smooth-talking con artist to a deeply protective, selfless gentleman as his genuine love for Anya forces him to outgrow his selfish habits.

• He is a small, scruffy stray puppy who Anya meets right after she leaves the rural orphanage, instantly bonding with her and becoming her very first traveling companion. He has patches of tan and white fur, large floppy ears, and big, expressive dark eyes. He has a spunky, loyal, and incredibly intuitive personality, immediately sensing who is trustworthy and who is a threat. His behavior is highly energetic and clever, frequently tugging at Anya's skirt to guide her in the right direction, barking to sound the alarm, and providing comforting companionship when Anya feels lonely.

He is a tiny, stark-white albino bat who lived in the palace as Rasputin's personal pet before following his master into exile in the underworld. He has large pink ears, a small round body, and an expressive little face. He has a surprisingly mild-mannered, neurotic, and sensible personality, often acting as the voice of reason against Rasputin's extreme and chaotic plans. His behavior is theatrical and comedic, frequently groaning at his master's dramatic outbursts, offering sarcastic side-commentary, and eventually abandoning the villainous lifestyle altogether for a peaceful life in Paris.

• He is a terrifying, ghastly figure who was once the trusted holy man of the Romanov court before he betrayed them, selling his soul to a dark reliquary to place a fatal curse on the royal family. He has pale, rotting grey skin, a long scraggly black beard, and hollow eyes, whose body literally falls apart throughout the film. He is consumed by a vengeful, maniacal, and deeply bitter personality, driven entirely by an obsessive hatred for the Romanov family. His behavior is dramatic, explosive, and unhinged, spent pacing around his dark underworld lair, casting wicked spells, and screaming commands at his reliquary to destroy Anya.

• He is a large, stout older gentleman who used to be a high-ranking nobleman inside the Tsar's imperial court, giving him firsthand knowledge of royal etiquette and palace secrets.

He possesses a jolly, warm-hearted, and romantic personality, always acting as the optimistic peacemaker of the group.
