Appearance

Anna after escaping Grace Field

Anna is a young girl with fair skin, light blue eyes and a rather petite build. She has long, straight blonde hair tied into twin braids, laid on her shoulders. She later cut her hair to about shoulder-length to save Ray, after which she began tying her hair in two short pigtails at the back. She wears the standard Grace Field uniform- a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt and a white skirt along with brown boots. Her identification number, "48194", can be seen on the left side of her neck.

History

Anna was born at Grace Field on April 25, 2036 and sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2037, growing up along with several other children under the parental care of Isabella. Anna is brought into the escape plan alongside Nat, Thoma and Lannion after Don and Gilda revealed the truth of the orphanage to them by allowing them to listen in on Emma and Norman's conversation with Sister Krone. Anna helped the children escape by cutting off her braids so that they could be used in the decoy body for Ray. Anna successfully escaped the house along with the rest of her siblings who were over the age of five.

Personality

Anna is shown to be a bright, gentle, and kind girl who loves her siblings dearly. She is very protective of them, cares for them deeply and would go great lengths to keep them safe. Anna is one of the children considered trustworthy by Emma, and her willingness to help despite the danger demonstrates her loyalty and bravery. Anna is more than willing to make sacrifices for the sake of her family, as seen when she cuts her hair off for Ray.

Plot

Introduction Arc

Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Anna went through the same routine every day at Grace Field House. She is seen participating in the training sessions under the disguise of playing. Anna was first seen studying alongside Ray in the library of the Grace Field House.[3] A few days later, during a game of tag, she was caught by Krone along with Nat and Thoma.[4]

Jailbreak Arc

It is revealed that Anna, along with Nat, Thoma, and Lannion, was brought into the escape plan after Don and Gilda trusted them enough to hear in on a conversation of Krone revealing information about the truth of Grace Field. Including Anna, the number of children aware of the secret by that point was increased to nine, including the three oldest children Ray, Emma, and Norman. However, over the course of the next couple weeks, Anna, Nat, Thoma, and Lannion kept a low profile in order to ensure neither Krone or Isabella could figure out their awareness of the secret as well. During the two months after Norman's shipment, Anna and her allies got instructions from Emma on how to train the orphans for the upcoming escape. in particular, Anna and the other children who knew of the secret managed to convince seven other younger children including Dominic, Mark, Chris, Rossi, Yvette, Alicia, and Jemima to join in on the escape plan.

In January 2046, Anna assisted with the escape by cutting her hair braids for Emma with her plan to outwit Isabella by using it as part of a decoy body for Ray. Anna, along side Jemima, also took responsibility in sewing the ropes used in the zip-lining phase of the escape. Once Emma started the fire, Anna and the others put on their running shoes, grabbed the supplies they gathered and stashed in the forest, disabled the tracking devices in their ears with Ray's hand-made device, and ran to the wall once Emma caught up with them. Anna also assisted in bandaging Emma and Ray's ears after they were forced to cut them off in order to dispose of their transmitters in a fast manner. Anna and her siblings then escape from Grace Field by zip-lining down into the forest on the other side of the large cliff, where they flee as fast as they can until they reach another cliff and witness the sunrise for their first day as free children.[5]

Anna and all meet up once again, Emma suddenly collapses due the wound on her ear opening up once more.

Skills and Abilities

Medical Proficiency

Anna is reliable when it comes to medical treatment for the kids. She did it while she is treating Emma's ear.

Relationships

Emma

Anna loves Emma like a sister and worries about her well-being when Emma puts herself in danger. Emma considers Anna trustworthy enough to allow her to listen in on the conversation she and Norman have with Krone, thus revealing the truth about their situation at Grace Field. Emma's faith in Anna proved to be valuable - as Anna was able to help with preparations leading up to the escape. During the two months that Emma was feigning defeat, Anna, along with several other children, secretly took orders from her and trained their siblings while slowly inducting them into the plan.

Ray

Anna cares for Ray deeply. While their initial interactions are somewhat scarce due to Ray's quiet and independent nature. Like all the other children, Ray considered Anna a potential burden to the escape plan and urged Emma and Norman to reconsider their stance on trying to escape with all the children at the house. Unbeknownst to Ray, however, Anna was already informed of the secret and contributing to the escape efforts. During this time, Emma also made Anna aware of Ray's plan to kill himself the morning of his birthday. Anna cut off her braids to help create a convincing decoy for Isabella, so that Ray's suicide attempt could be avoided and he could escape along with them. Ray seems shocked to see Emma presenting Anna's braids, as her long hair was her most identifiable feature. This is a sign of sacrifice in Japan, and this is a slight hint to the future feelings Anna will feel for Ray later on in the series.

Norman

Anna and Norman did not interact that much when they lived in the Grace Field House. Norman agreed with Emma's plan to bring Anna, along with the others, into the plan without Ray's knowledge. Anna was saddened to see Norman leaving to join his new "foster parents" later on.

Nat

Anna and Nat appear to be very good friends due to being the same age. She cares for Nat just like how she cares for the rest of her family. Anna loves Nat playing the piano.
