Anya was a promising ballerina with a bright future ahead of her. After years of hard work and discipline, she was offered the opportunity to study in USA at a prestigious ballet school. To assure her success, Anya and family emigrated from Ireland to the USA.
It wasn't long before Anya found herself drawn into a double life of partying and drinking at night and playing the part of the perfect ballerina during the day. One night, her parents drove out looking for her and were killed when they hit black ice on the road. The pain of this event, led Anya into a downward spiral of heroin addiction.
Anya has no one in the world other than her best Rhett. Rhett tried to help Anya get clean, but she shut him out repeatedly. One day, Rhett gifted her a statuette of a ballerina with her right leg in the air. In a fit of rage, Anya threw the statuette at him, breaking the ballerina’s leg. This was the last time she spoke to her childhood friend.
Ironically, years later, Anya would have her right leg amputated due to bone cancer. Until her dying day, Anya regretted losing Rhett, a void none could fill.
