Anna

Anna (Japanese: アンナ Anna) is a recurring character from across the entire Fire Emblem series, save Gaiden. Across the series she has appeared in a diverse number of gameplay support roles - she most frequently recurs as the proprietor of the Secret Shops and confirming whether a player wants to suspend their game - and it is strongly implied that she travels the various Fire Emblem universes with her romantic interest, Jake, having notably made stops in Jugdral and Elibe. While Anna's facial features may slightly change from game to game, she is never seen without a sly smile, her index finger resting on her face, and her red hair tied back in a ponytail. The original Anna appeared quite whimsical, keeping her shop secret because that's what makes it secret. Anna was not judgmental about other nationalities. Despite Archanea's enmity with Grust, she has a close relationship with the Grustian Jake, with whom she shares a love of travel. She is even engaged to Jake in Genealogy of the Holy War and talks of having children. While Anna is usually very lighthearted, she is shown to occasionally worry about Jake. While not a single individual, the versions of Anna in the 3DS games have shown similar traits amongst them. As merchants by trade, they are always found wherever deals are made and always carry the highest quality goods. All Annas are aware that their sisters and cousins highly resemble each other and have the same name, but they seem to be able to distinguish each other with little trouble. The two playable Annas in Awakening and Fates are shown having a little more willingness to use slightly shady tactics to sell their goods. However, they will only go so far for a profit and even regret using those tactics. For any Avatar who marries her, they quickly find out that her love of money remains more than her love of them, but she still shows that she loves them nonetheless. Has more side jobs than anyone in the army. Anna is a recurring character in the Fire Emblem series. She has made an appearance in every single Fire Emblem game to date save Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. She is a red-headed young woman and is commonly seen in a trademark pose with her index finger rested at her face and wearing a sly smile. Due to Anna being a multitude of individuals, her personality differs slightly between games. However, there are some consistent traits amongst each other. Anna is typically whimsical and jovial, tending to do things her own way. The original Anna appeared quite whimsical, keeping her shop secret despite others like Marth pointing out that doing so would cripple sales. That Anna was also not judgmental about other nationalities, as despite Archanea's enmity with Grust, she had a close relationship with the Grustian Jake, with whom she shares a love of travel. Her relationship to Jake ranges, but goes as far as engagement in Genealogy of the Holy War and talking of having children. While Anna is usually very lighthearted, she is shown to occasionally worry about Jake. Anna appeared to be a singular character as she and Jake made references to Linde of Archanea in Genealogy of the Holy War despite the game taking place in the distant past. Anna appears in a multitude of ways in both Awakening and Fates, being the first game in which more than one Anna appears simultaneously. Driven by an almost instinctual need to make money, Anna is willing to do whatever it takes to sell an item, sometimes telling little-white lies, though often regrets using such tactics. She does show restraint more often than not but any means of obtaining gold legitimately through sales is fair game in her mind. This fondness of gold even affects her love life, as for any Robin or Corrin who marries her quickly find out that her love of money remains more than her love of them, but she still shows that she loves them nonetheless. As part of a large family, the Anna family share a strong familial bond with each other and respects each other's "territories", doing their best not to impede on each other's work, even ceasing their own plans the minute they learn that another Anna has dibs on the same schemes. Despite their similar appearances, each Anna is able to distinguish Annas from one another from an early age thanks to a special log that records all acts of every single Anna in history that every Anna is required to read. According to the Fates Anna, though their names are spelled the same, there are different pronunciations of their names to help distinguish each other during family gatherings. As a mother, of either Morgan in Awakening and Kana in Fates, it is shown that she does not force Robin or Corrin to name either of them Anna, but nonetheless stresses the importance of her huge extended family and its traditions to her daughters. Heroes portrays Anna in a slightly different light as she takes her role as commander of the Order of Heroes very seriously and acts as a guide for Alfonse and Sharena. She harbors some guilt towards Zacharias's disappearance and feels that she is responsible for it. This in turn makes her an emotional crutch for Alfonse and Sharena on the subject. In special Xenologue chapters with the event Heroes, Anna retains her Awakening and Fates incarnations tendencies to capitalize on the Heroes in their special forms to turn a quick profit if she can. Anna occasionally tries to keep these impulses in check, but she has been known to work up herself into a fever when trying to suppress these urges
