[edit] Appearance
- Height: 5'6"
- Weight: ~135 lbs.
- Build: Average
- Eyes: Green

- Wings: Anna shares the same coloring as the wings of an Azure-winged Magpie. (See photo to the left!)
- Dress: She usually wears sweaters and comfy, warm things in the winter and fall; in spring and summer, her clothes are light and flowy. She rarely wears anything form-fitting, save for her corset that stays hidden under everything else she wears, and nothing she owns is particularly fashionable.
- Other Things You May Notice: She's pretty old for an angel of death, though you'd never really notice; most people assume her age to be somewhere between thirty and forty. She has a slight, faded French accent.
[edit] Personality
Anna commonly gives off the first impression of being nice and polite. Though quite somber by nature, Anna does not like showing that side around people — catch her alone, and you very well may wonder why she's so gloomy. She's also quite the intellectual and enjoys studying world history. Wars are her favorite subject, though not out of any particular enjoyment. She considers research like that part of her job; war zones are her specialty. Where conflict goes, she follows, ready to help the dying pass on. She makes friends easily but isn't the type of friend one really "hangs out" with. Anna prefers solitude and would very much like to not form any close, personal bonds — detachment is a rule — but she will always be there for someone who needs her. She will also defend those she cares about, oftentimes physically; she's not a particularly skilled fighter but what she learned with her father has not failed her yet.
- Talents: Sometimes, Anna paints.
[edit] History
Anna comes from a long line of angels stemming from the north of France. Her small family is well-known for their presence in and around the country, particularly during high-profile deaths; the Martins have been ferrying the dead since the reign of the Bourbon Dynasty. Born to two angels of death on the day World War I officially began with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (her father was there), Anna's destiny was laid out for her the minute she entered the world and she accepted it without question. There was a problem, though: she had very little control over her powers. This worried both her and her parents, but she kept her mind off of that problem with studying. She never attended university but studied independently, usually with her grandmother, who was (conveniently) an angel of knowledge. As her 19th birthday rolled around, she finally had (for the most part) mastered her abilities. She left home when she was 23, sent by her perhaps overconfident father to Germany, where she remained until the end of World War II. She will never discuss this with anyone. When the 1950's rolled around, she left home for the Koreas, then Vietnam, then the Congo, Cuba... the list is very long. You name a conflict, she's been there for at least a little while, occasionally with family members working at her side.
And then her brother suggested she move to Chicago.
She's been here for a month. As far as she's concerned, living in this city is like a vacation she does not want (and is loathe to admit she needs).
[edit] In the Rift
Anna lived in Chicago for almost 4 months and hated every day of it.
And then she had her heart torn out by a Silent Hill ghost during the Ninth Plague.
