Anastasia

Anastasia (アナスタシア) is a human resident of Apotos who appears in Sonic Unleashed, and the wife of Eric. She is a talkative elder lady, but because she is toothless, she needs her dentures to speak in a proper language. Otherwise, she can only speak gibberish. While Anastasia has her husband fully convinced that she is a gentle and modest soul, the truth is that she has a horrible temper.

''Eric's wife, talkative but toothless after misplacing her dentures. Her husband usually steps in to interpret her attempts at speech. Anastasia has her husband thoroughly convinced she is a gentle and modest lady... but the jury's still out on that one.''

PS3/Xbox360
During her youth, Anastasia came to a young Eric's aid when he got bitten by a crab on the beach. While Anastasia only tried to be nice however, Eric took this as a sign of affection from her side and he fell in love with her. From that point on, Anastasia found herself the target of Eric's overly eager affection, even though she did not have the same feelings for him. Eric would then try to win her over by bringing Anastasia beautiful shells each day, and yell to her "Marry me! I can’t go on if you won’t". Eventually, Anastasia could not take Eric's pleas anymore, but she could not refuse him either, so she gave up resisting and married him.

Over the years however, Anastasia and Eric came to have a happy marriage, and she eventually came to truly love Eric. At some point in her life, she lost all her teethes and needed dentures to replace them, properly mostly because she could not speak properly without teethes.

During the events of Sonic Unleashed, due to the tremors caused by the Earth's shattering. Anastasia lost her dentures and she and her husband began looking for them. During her time with her dentures, Anastasia could only speak in mumbling gibberish, and as such, Eric decided to take on the role as translator, until she could find her dentures. While Anastasia was glad her husband would help in her time of need, it would soon become apparent to her that her husband was a horrible translator.

She first appeared alongside her husband, when Sonic and Chip arrived for the first time in Apotos. During this time, her husband would translate her mumbling as heartfelt greetings, and that she had seen Tails the following night. While it is questionable, if she meant these things Eric said, it did not appear to bother her.

As the planet began to come together again however, Anastasia noticed that her husband began to take whatever she said as if she was agreeing with him about something, even though she did mean anything like that, and she began to find it quite the annoyance. As a result of her husband's translations, she soon found herself being dragged on a trip to Chun-Nan, because her husband thought that she wanted to see Chun-Nan, and her husband telling Sonic and Chip that she liked the different things about Chun-Nan such as the scenic views and meat-buns, even though she did not appear to be interested in either of them.

After she and Eric returned to Apotos after their trip to Chun-Nan, Anastasia had yet to find her dentures, while Eric translated all her gibberish as if she loved the trip. Anastasia soon after found herself quite offended however, when her husband began explaining about their early romance to Sonic and Chip, where Eric described himself as a debonair fella and stand-up guy, while he described Anastasia as shy, awkward and plain unlucky in love. Anastasia could then only continue to get angrier, as Eric continued to explain that she fell hard for Eric when he decided to talk to her back then, and that he could not get rid of her after that. Anastasia tried to yell out in angry protest, but Eric only took her mumbling as if she was agreeing with him.

Around time Sonic defeated Dark Guardian, Anastasia finally found her dentures and was able to talk again. She then waste no time and starts yelling at Eric about what the big idea was for saying whatever that came into his fool of a head. Despite Eric's attempts to calm her down and soften her up, she remains steamed about all his lies, and "sends him in the doghouse".

While Eric was being schooled, Anastasia comes to Sonic and Chip to sort out all the bold-faced lies Eric had told them, especially about their early romance. After explaining everything to the duo, she feels relieved to tell the truth with her own words. Later on, when she had cooled down, Anastasia admits to Sonic and Chip that even though she yelled at Eric and that his translations were a mess, she was nonetheless really glad that he had remained with her the whole time after she lost her dentures, and that maybe she was still right to marry him. She then tells Sonic and Chip nervously not to tell what she just said.

During the following day the two of them made up, as Anastasia told Eric that she was sorry that she got mad, and assured him that she is truly not mad anymore, much to Eric's relief.

PS2/Wii
Anastasia never made any real appearance on the PS2/Wii version of Sonic Unleashed. She did, however, briefly appear in the background of the cutscene where Sonic transformed into Sonic the Werehog for the second time, talking with Eric.
