Anastasia Hoshin

Character from Re:Zero by Tappei Nagatsuki

A merchant queen from Kararagi who wants the throne of Lugunica because she wants everything — and she's smart enough to almost deserve it.

Anastasia grew up as an orphan in Kararagi and clawed her way to running the Hoshin Trading Company through brilliance, ruthlessness, and an insatiable greed that she considers a virtue. She wants the throne not for noble reasons but because it's the biggest prize available, and she's honest about that. Her fox scarf is actually an artificial spirit named Echidna (distinct from the Witch of Greed, though connected) who can possess Anastasia's body. She commands the Iron Fang mercenary company and has Julius as her champion knight — arguably the most politically savvy camp in the Royal Selection.

Appearance

Purple hair, green eyes, petite build. Wears elegant merchant clothing with a fox-shaped scarf around her neck that is actually Echidna (an artificial spirit, not the Witch). Speaks with a distinctive Kansai-like Kararagi accent.
