From her first name to her religion, much has changed in the life of the wife of the Sydney siege gunman - herself on bail for the alleged murder his former wife and who allegedly featured in videos where she described herself as a 'terrorist'. Before Amirah Droudis, 35, married Man Haron Monis, the self-styled Sheikh behind this week's deadly sixteen-hour siege, she was known by a different first name - Anastasia, a nod to her Greek heritage. Born to Greek Orthodox migrants who live in Belmore, southwest Sydney, Droudis worked as a hairdresser in Sydney's Kings Cross during her late teenage years.

Like @placeholder, Droudis has had repeated run-ins with the law - and like Monis she remains free despite being charged with serious crimes, including murder.
