Anna Clemens

Anna Clemens is an American adventurer and reporter, who became a companion to Jan Prochazka after encountering him in Sevastopol.

Background
Born in Rochester, New York, Anna Clemens is related to Samuel Langhorne Clemens, also known as Mark Twain.

In 1916, Anna visited Wien, and remained there for a year, after which she set off towards the front with press credentials. She accompanied the Austro-Hungarian Army through the Romanian and Ukrainian Campaigns, and at the end of the war was in Sevastopol.

Story
Anna met Jan while working as a correspondent and writer, and quickly agreed to join him in heading to the Principality of the Lower Don.

En route to Rostov, an attempt at a first date with Anna led to a disaster. Nonetheless, the date endeared Jan to Anna.

In October, Anna followed the 6th Free Detachment on its first mission. At Aleksandrovka, she was attacked (among others) by a Bolshevik assassin, but fortunately Jan killed the assailant.

In Shcherbinovskaya, Anna was instrumental in helping Jan write a good speech with which he addressed the townfolk. This managed to gain him some favour among the local populace.

Description
Anna is a skilled polyglot and talented learner of languages. She learned German, French and Spanish on her own initiative while in America, and it only took her several months to become functional in Russian as well.
