Annie is a witch from the Kingdom of Wolfheart. She escaped from the Kingdom of Dawn, together with Yorko and three other witches from Wolfheart, to the Kingdom of Graycastle.
Appearance[]
According to Yorko, Annie looks man-ish with a slight feminine tone to her voice. He found her extremely handsome and her body exceptionally burly, despite her being a woman. She has dashing eyebrows slightly pointing upwards, with narrow eyes that look energetic.[1]
The manhwa adaption shows her to more Amazon-esque than burly with an obviously feminine face.
Personality[]
Annie was a kind and helpful young woman; always willing to help fellow witches like Amy, Hero and Broken Sword. Her ability to trust groups of witches and regular humans was severely damaged thanks to her meeting with Heidi Morgan's Bloodfang Association, where the wicked woman lied witches were welcomed equally; however, Annie was shipped off to be abused by nobility, simply because Heidi only wanted dangerous and powerful witches to increase the threat of her power.
Annie has become more skeptical of people she comes across. For this reason, she wasn't willing to take Yorko's claim of complete equality for witches in City of Neverwinter. Though she relented after he became their only hope out of the Kingdom of Dawn once the deranged king began wiping out all witches, deeming it the "lesser of two evils" option. She was more than surprised when Wendy explained that the Witch Union didn't have mandatory membership but was merely an organization to help allocate witches to jobs that would best suit their magic.
After reuniting with Iffy, Annie was more than willing to accept her old fiend back into her life; knowing she had suffered severely from Heidi.
Background []
Annie used to live in a remote village to the northwest of the Kingdom of Wolfheart. When her identity as a witch was exposed, she had to continuously escape toward the east and traveled almost half of the entire Kingdom of Wolfheart.[2]
After hearing of the Bloodfang Association in Graystone Stronghold, she together with Iffy and three other witches, went searching for it. After leaving Graystone Stronghold, they had been intercepted by the church, so they had decided to act separately. Three days and nights later, she bumped into Iffy while the others were totally out of contact.
During their journey, Annie would always take care of Iffy and reassure her. Eventually the Judgement Army found them while they were resting. They had tried to escape, but fortunately for them, the Bloodfang Association showed up and killed all the Judgement Army soldiers.
After that, one of them walked towards them and asked them to show her their abilities. Since Annie was not suited to be a combat witch with her ability, she was rejected and sent to another witch association.[3]
It was later revealed that Skyflare, under Heidi's orders,[4] had never sent her to another witch association, but actually gave her to the nobles as a slave as part of a trade deal going on between the two parties.[5] She had managed to escape and eventually settled down in the suburbs of the Wolfheart City[2] and lived at Amy's place.[6]
When the church army attacked Wolfheart City and threw a large number of bodies infected by the demonic plague into the city, Annie and Amy ended up being infected, but survived thanks to Hero's treatment.[7]
When Wolfheart City fell, she had noticed the curious behavior of the Judgement Army soldiers and followed them. She discovered Hero being provided with food and clothes by them for a period of time, until their army returned to Hermes and they had to bid Hero farewell. Before they departed, she saw all the Judgement Warriors who had been imprisoned expressed their gratitude to Hero.
Several months later they met Broken Sword, who at the time was caught by the church believers who garrisoned there and was to be sent to Holy City. After Annie had ambushed the unit who was escorting her and thus saving Broken Sword, they had to leave as the church had intensified their searching operation by several times, and they had nowhere to hide. So they joined refugees and left Wolfheart. They went all the way to the south until finally settling down in an orphanage in the city of Glow.[6]
