Anna

Anna (アンナ) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors. A minor recurring figure throughout the Fire Emblem series, Anna first debuted in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light where she helped recruit Jake, her love interest. Since then Anna, often accompanied by Jake, has appeared in every Fire Emblem game but Gaiden and its remake. She also appears in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes but is a non-playable merchant.

She can be unlocked in the game's History Mode.

Role in Game
Anna serves as the player's navigator, informing them of in-game missions, accomplishments, and failures. She also functions as the in-game shop that appears on stage during battle. She also appears in various History Mode stages as well.

Development
Though said to be an original version of Anna, this incarnation of her seems to draw inspiration from the Fates incarnation of Anna including dress, class, personality, and behavior. The idea of Anna having many identical sisters is taken from Awakening and Fates.

Personality
Anna is a sly merchant who runs a secret shop, often requesting visitors not to spill her location or whereabouts. She loves making money and has no qualms engaging in dubious business practices to make a profit. At times, she may occasionally break the fourth-wall when guiding the player.
