Anaïs Chartschenko always wanted to join the circus. Unfortunately, having no skills in acrobatics nor fire breathing she has resorted to admonishing stuffed elephants.
"Be a good elephant"
She spends a considerable amount of time judging the quality of tea. She does this with the surly assistance of her gnomes.
Their names are Alexander and Sebastian for those wondering.
She is prone to fits of high pitched giggling. Sometimes she snorts.
Life is absurd.
Anaïs is known for having untamed tangle riddled hair.
It is what it is.
She is melodramatic at times, contemplating terribly sad arias and poets who met an early demise.
She takes all these things- the elephant taming, tea judging, absurdities, and melodramatic hysteria and turns them into art.
That is what makes her smile.
.... until it is time to show the stuffies who is boss again.
