| Lightning manipulation: | The ability to direct and manipulate electrical energy. |
| Control: | Very good, especially at fine applications |
| Lightning capacity: | The ability to store electrical charge in her body and release it at will. |
| Control: | Excellent so long as the charge is beneath her maximum stored energy; full discharge at going over this limit is instant and unable to be controlled |
| Lightning generation: | The buildup of electrical energy within her body. |

Driven, dedicated, and extremely focused.
Thoughts on this whole situation: Anya sees it as necessary that New Earth be explored and colonized. She's frustrated with the lack of support from the first wave of New Earth team members, as she feels that advanced age is not an excuse for not doing what she sees as their duty, and that in fact it would be better for them to take the risks on behalf of others. She is more than willing to step up, but is disappointed with the previous generation.
Family: Gregor Zieskewicz, father - One of the original members of the New Earth team, it is from him that Anya inherited her ability. He was a biologist prior to his recent death.
Kaia Zieskewicz, mother - A retired professor of Ancient Cultures, she met Gregor after his return from new Earth.
Anya is their only child; after they determined that the New Earth abilities were capable of being passed on genetically, they chose not to expand their family any further.
Background: Anya performed well academically as a child, not so much due to natural brilliance as due to determination and effort. Her father always stressed to her the importance of control in all things, as the ability she inherited from him could be extremely dangerous if not kept carefully under control.
Against her parents' desires, she enrolled at the University of Copenhagen on a United Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship. When requests were being made to former members of the New Earth Expedition and being declined, Anya had a feeling about where the project was likely to turn next, and contacted the organization and the University to request a chance to complete one additional senior-level course as an independent study, allowing her to graduate a semester early from her program with a BS in Physics and a minor in Electrical Engineering, as well as the lieutenant's commission from her UROTC experience.
In return, she signed on with the project voluntarily, also against her parents' wishes. Her father died less than a week later, officially of a heart attack. Anya is aware that the heart attack was medically induced on request, due to faltering control of his abilities as he aged, making him more and more a danger to others around him.
The same may be in her future.
