Anastasia Steele- Ana' for short- is an intelligent young woman in her senior year at WCU Vancouver. She is a shy and insecure person who is typically transparent to a fault. She studies English Lit, and she lives with her roommate, Katherine Kavanagh. Katherine- or Kate, as her friends refer to her- is studying for a Journalism degree. Anastasia and Kate are very close, having been roommates since they were both freshmen at WSU.

Ana fills in for Kate to interview Christian Grey for their school newspaper. After the interview, Ana gives the recorder to Kate, so that she can transcribe it and compose her article. Kate is very protective of Ana; she wants to protect her innocent friend. Christian wants to be with Ana, but knows that it is not fair to bring her into his world; he would corrupt her. He pushes her away, but cant seem to stay away himself. They inevitably end up together again. Christian buys her an expensive set of 1st edition books, trying to make up for his misleading actions after their coffee date. Ana dislikes being lavished with expensive gifts.

When out celebrating the completion of her final exams, Ana drunkenly calls Christian and proceeds to demand he tell her why he sent the books. Comprehending Ana drunken state, Christian comes and picks her up from the bar with impeccable timing. Afterward, Christian takes Ana on a short series of dates. Before one such event, Kate and Ana discuss the newly founded relationship. Kate observes that it is odd for Christian to have only kissed Ana once. Ana insists that he is just a very reserved person. That evening, he stunned her with an exhilarating helicopter ride.

Later, at his home in Seattle, he approaches her with a non-disclosure agreement, stating that she may not reveal anything about their relationship to anyone.

After signing the NDA, Christian introduces her to his playroom. Ana is mortified by what she sees there, dubbing it his Red Room of Pain. After learning Christians secret, Ana has some research to do and decisions to make. Christian is very observant of Anas reaction and gently reassures her. He proposes that Anastasia sign a contract. She does some internet research on the terms and phrases she encounters in the contract and is horrified by what she finds.

After her research, she is disinclined to accept his offer but is gradually brought back around to consenting to the idea after being exposed to Christian's more sensitive side. There are many trials and stipulations written into the contract, including the clear indication that Ana may void the contract and leave the relationship at any time. Anastasia's main concern is that her affections for Christian aren't equally reciprocated. She wants "hearts and flowers", and Christian has affirmed that he is not romantically inclined. He and Ana share quite a few intense and steamy affairs, in which Christian begins to slowly introduce Ana to his lifestyle, of which he wants her to be a part. Ana is constantly going back and forth between being repulsed by Christian and his sexual whims and attracted to them. At times she holds the belief that Christian Grey is a domineering, sociopathic and egotistical control freak, not to mention borderline abusive; at other times, Ana is so enraptured by Christian that she would do and give anything if only to attain his satisfaction and approval. While these thoughts occupy her mind, the sexual escapades continue.

Ana is reluctant to sign the contract, and Christian decides that it is no longer necessary, as long as she follows the Rules he has laid out for her. Ana is pleased with his willingness to compromise but is still disturbed that Christian wants to make her feel pain. She asks him to show her exactly what he desires, thinking she would be able to handle it based on their previous exploits. However, Christian's beating cuts her far deeper than she expects. She is repulsed by him and tells him that she will not be with him. Neither of them wants the relationship to end, yet neither is willing to give in to the other.

50 Shades of Grey was published June 20th, 2011. It was originally entitled Master of the Universe and was part of a fan-fiction series based off of Stephanie Meyer's
