Satoshi "Ash" Ketchum aka Neptunus Knight
In their previous lives, Anastasia was born a year after Asphaleios so they had a close bond as the youngest of Poseidon's children. When they were younger and came to Neptune Castle, after their mothers explained that they were siblings, Anastasia came up to Asphaleios and said, "Big brother, let's play." Asphaleios replied "Yeah!" She then took his hand, and they ran through the castle to play. While they were still children and they got to visit Neptune Castle, they had a habit of Anastasia taking Asphaleios' hand and running through the castle and finding fun things to do. When Anastasia became Sailor Hippocamp and had to guard her post, Asphaleios didn't see her until a ball hosted by Neptune's royal family was held and they were excited to see one another and even shared a dance. In modern days, when they cooperate in battle, Sailor Hippocamp makes teasing remarks that get Neptunus Knight riled up.

Alphonse Elric aka Prince Apollon
In their past lives, during Princess Serenity and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball, when the guests were asked to dance with someone from a different home celestial body, Prince Apollon asked Anastasia to dance with him. As they danced, he remarked that she was like a princess. She playfully smirked. "I'm the illegitimate daughter of Poseidon and a Neptunian noblewoman, while I'm not a princess, I suppose I'm close enough to one, does this bother you, Your Highness?" Prince Apollon smiled awkwardly "Uh no, it doesn't bother me at all." They talked as they danced and even after their dance, they shared a kiss in the gardens. In their current lives, they both went on a study abroad program to Hyōtei Academy and had the same homeroom class. As the two exchange students got closer to one another, Anastasia started to playfully tease him. Eventually, they fell in love all over again and they remembered their past lives and the romance they shared back then.

Allies and Teammates
The Neptunian Moon Guardians
Since Poseidon was an amorous god, it resulted in Sailor Naiad and Sailor Hippocamp being Princess Neptune's and Princess Halimede's half-sisters, but it has allowed them to have a sisterly bond even in modern days. She is the youngest of the Neptunian Moon Guardians.
Kimi Kaiou aka Sailor Halimede
In their previous lives, they were half siblings as they shared Poseidon as a father. Princess Halimede would scold Anastasia and Asphaleios for running down the halls of Neptune Castle. She eventually learned how to stop them in their tracks instead of scolding them as they ran then she would pinch Asphaleios's ear and when Anastasia made a cheeky remark "We were just having fun." Halimede would pinch Anastasia's ear and when Anastasia retorted "You like being mean, don't you?" Halimede would pinch her ear even harder. However, both like to help brush the other's hand and Anastasia likes listening to Halimede play the cello which hasn't changed in their current lives. When Sailor Hippocamp playfully teases Sailor Halimede, she'll cheekily tease her back.
Kairi Mizuno aka Sailor Naiad
Aqua met Anastasia during Princess Serenity and Princess Tranquility's 14th birthday ball where they were introduced as half siblings and talked to each other. When Anastasia shared about how she and Asphaleios played in Neptune Castle when they were younger, Aqua giggled at the tales and wished she got to play with them as well in the past. Anastasia replied, "At least we all have the opportunity to be together now." Aqua smiled in agreement. In their current lives, both were late to awaken as Neptunian Moon Sailor Guardians due to circumstances. Kairi being forced to crossdress was at odds with the femininity Aqua aka Sailor Naiad possessed in the past while Anastasia was in Russia. Anastasia learned about Kairi's past and said "I'm sorry to hear that but I'm glad you can live as a girl now, you're very lovely." Kairi said, "Thank you, you too." They both see each other as sisters with Anastasia referring to Kairi as "Onee-sama". Sailor Hippocamp and Sailor Naiad spar with one another as they both wield claymores. During sparring, Sailor Hippocamp made a cheeky remark. "Oh? You're pretty strong, it must be thanks to your time living as a boy." Sailor Naiad would reply with "Well, I'm glad you think so!" Before swinging with her sword. In battle, they would have the other's back and when Sailor Hippocamp tries to tease her, she would retort "This is not the time!"

Miscellaneous
Inspirations
Aside from making headcanons based and her Ocean Streams attack based on her character, she was probably inspired by Anastasia Romanov, the Russian, princess so I wanted to include Anastasia (1997)'s OST in her soundtrack aside from thinking about that Anastasia's aesthetic to headcanon that she would like shades of blue and have her earrings in her fuku. I also thought of Diva disguised as Anastasia playing with Alexei in Blood+ Adagio for her playing with Asphaleios as children. Thanks to the Claymore wikia for helping me describe her.
