Anne has gone through a variety of different outfits, physiques, and even prosthetic limbs over her years as a Knight. Only two aspects remain ever unchanging: her long, straight brown hair and distinctive green irises. Her manifestation in this new world most closely reflects her appearance during the Third Battle of Arin: a slim figure, eyeglasses, and a long black coat.
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] A jaded veteran with a kind heart. Years of harsh experience have left her with a cynical worldview, a paranoid outlook, and mountains of guilt and self-loathing. In the thick of war and politics she becomes grim, snarky, and quick to complain, but in a peaceful setting she'll quickly show her warm side. Though often clumsy and awkward in more casual situations, her deep-rooted ideals and sincere love for the people around her end up shining through.
When she's put under pressure, this same love for humanity can extend to a point of obsessiveness and self-destruction. She sees lives as her responsibility, their protection a necessity, and is ultimately willing to sacrifice both herself and those around her to save the innocent masses. Haunted by her past failures and sins in the name of the greater good, she makes repeated attempts to stay out of front-line conflicts, but finds herself drawn again and again into high-stakes situations where bloodshed and loss become inevitable.
[*][u][b]Brief History:[/b][/u] A Knight from the Cosmic Century, a far-future era in which the human race is embroiled in a war with the alien Beasts. Anne was one of two orphans taken in by a member of the Knight Order, and trained in martial arts and swordsmanship from a very young age before applying as a recruit for the Order in her late teens. After she and her adoptive sister graduated to full knighthood in record time, Anne would go on to distinguish herself again and again in some of the most ferocious battlefields of the age, and helped save humanity no less than three times by personally cutting down key leaders on the opposing side. Early on she carried the reputation of a legendary hero, but as the politics surrounding her exploits became gradually murkier, she would first fall into obscurity and later be branded a war criminal for her actions.
In between stints battling for the fate of the galaxy, Anne spent years cultivating an extensive web of political connections, and formed her own organization dedicated to anti-Beast research and engineering. She also trained several disciples, some of whom would go on to become illustrious Knights in their own right.
[*][u][b]Universe of Origin:[/b][/u] Knight Run
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u]
[list][*][u]DC Coat:[/u] The uniforms worn by Knights project defensive barrier fields around them, shielding their users from enemy attacks and environmental hazards. It's even possible for the wearer to fight unimpeded in the vacuum of space.
[*][u]AB Sword x2:[/u] The Anti-Barrier swords used by Knights are extremely durable, and possess the innate ability to negate enemy shields and barriers. There are only a thousand or so of these weapons in existence, and Anne is one of a rare few individuals granted permission to wield two at once.
[*][u]Artificial Arm:[/u] Anne's left hand is entirely cybernetic, and has been custom-built with multiple mechanisms to assist her in combat. Of note: a shield-busting device to punch through barriers, a limited-use energy blade she can pull out as a spare weapon, and powerful jet boosters used for additional bursts of acceleration.[/list]
[*][u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u] 
[list][*][u]Master Knight:[/u] Anne's abnormal genetic makeup has been supplemented by a lifetime of training and battlefield experience, pushing her physical limits well beyond normal human bounds. She's actually quite frail by Knight standards, but that still makes her strong and fast enough to surpass enhanced cyborg supersoldiers and massive powered armor suits. On the flipside, she's accumulated tremendous injuries over time, and using her full strength for more than a few minutes at a time can result in a painful and crippling backlash.
[*][u]Pray Style:[/u] As a swordswoman, Anne is one of the most skilled Knights in the entire galaxy. She makes use of an extremely aggressive martial arts form built to push the body past its limits and completely overwhelm the opponent, developed under the tutelage of her adoptive sister Pray and six of the age's most renowned fighters. Anne's mastery of Pray Style has allowed her to hold her own against enemies many times stronger, faster, and more numerous than herself, even while heavily injured and without her usual equipment. Executed correctly, her techniques can both mitigate and inflict damage beyond what should be logically possible under the circumstances.
[*][u]Wave Techniques:[/u] Many Pray Style techniques make use of Waves, concentrated bursts of Ki capable of propagating outside of the body. Waves can not only inflict devastating physical harm on contact, but can be used to break through or cleave apart the manifestations of supernatural abilities, including other Waves. As a preeminent Wave user, Anne can imbue them into her weapons and strikes, enhance her physical abilities with Waves, reduce damage to her body, or even launch Waves directly as long-ranged energy attacks.[/list]
[*][u][b]Other:[/b][/u] She's in her early thirties and feels bad about it. Due to her prior injuries, she sometimes gets random nosebleeds or just throws up on people. Most of her body has been replaced or upgraded at some point or another.[/list][/hider]
