For newcomers: Based on argument: Her name is Anastasia just like Anastasia Tremaine, she has a pink dress just like Anastasia Tremaine, her relationship with Will slightly mirrors Anastasia Tremaine's relationship with the Baker in Cinderella II. And in the fairytale, there were no names for the sisters. They were just sisters. So saying she is based only on the fairytale doesn't really work, as she can't be based on a specific sister necessarily.

Allusion argument: I don't agree with allusion so my points on this won't be as good, but from what I can tell, some think she is an allusion because there are only a few similarities and Jane Espenson only said the fairytale, when mentioning where Ana was adapted from. Did Jane mean that specifically or was she just saying it in general? So vote away.
