In her original appearance, Anne wears a bright blue bandana. The rest of her clothes are white, although her torso is decorated with a red corset, red bead necklace, and two black belts with yellow buckles. Her face is detailed with black hair and large red lips. She has a rather youthful appearance when depicted as a human in the Ladybird Books illustrations.
Lady Anne Anchor's updated minifigure retains the overall aspects of her original design, but with greater detailed printing on her face and torso. She no longer wears a bandana, instead possessing a black hairpiece. Her torso and legs are recolored bright red and brick yellow, respectively.
== Background ==
Anne is the daughter of Bessie, a widow who owns the "Keg and Cutlass" inn on Forbidden Island. She is a fearless pirate who takes part in the adventures of Captain Redbeard's crew aboard the Black Seas Barracuda whenever she can.
In Adventure on Shark Island, Anne tricks Captain Foul into thinking his ship is under attack to break up a fight between his and Redbeard's crews, but Foul takes revenge on her by kidnapping her and demanding a ransom. As Redbeard refuses to pay ransoms (and did not have the money anyway), her crewmates manage to stage a rescue and outwit Foul.
In The Royal Visit, Anne helps Bo'sun Will realize that Jonah's pet jackdaw has been missing since his owner's escape from Port Royal. Once badge of office is found, Anne disguises herself as a washerwoman and smuggles the badge into Eldorado Fortress with the Governor's laundry.
At Barracuda Bay, the older Lady Anne Anchor has grown into the role of Captain Redbeard's right hand. She keeps the crew and ship ready whenever Redbeard is out at sea.
