hey!! sorry to bother you but do you know why people think anastasia might be The Body?

yeah! so there were a series of posts about it and they are still online, but the OP is no longer a locked tomb blog and i believe wants privacy from fandom overall so out of respect i’m not gonna link them

the main overall points were:

- physical apperance: the Body is described as looking like harrow, and the houses are in general fairly consistant/distinct in their looks. so the body looks like someone from the ninth.
- the eyes: harrow notes specifically that before she became a lyctor, when she saw the Body, the Body’s eyes were mostly black in color. they turned gold afterwards. tamsym muir makes a big point of noting that most drearbough eyes were the same lightness black
- the tomb: the tomb on the ninth could be a red herring, with the real tomb housing alecto being on the First House. the logic being that if you were to hide your one true enemy, the creature you defeated once but can never defeat again, broadcasting that tomb’s location is….. not strategic, and john is very strategic. but there IS a body in the tomb on the 9th, even if it might not be alecto. therefore, anastasia
