Anna Künstler is a painter who Norah met in Estero Harbor during the summer.
== Appearance ==
Anna is a fair-skinned girl with purple eyes and long light-blue hair, which she has in a low ponytail.
== Personality ==
Anna enjoys documenting everything through art. The scenery and beings portrayed by her often draw the praise of others, but whenever it involves color, her work would appear a little clumsy.
== Background ==
While walking toward the seaside, Anna heard someone singing, the voice ebbing and flowing. Subconsciously, Anna quickened her pace, and found Norah at the end of her path, singing. Norah was singing toward the ocean. In Anna's eyes, the beautiful melody made the rainbow over the sea especially vivid. Excitedly, she pulled out her pencil and paper and started drawing the scene at that moment. When the tune ended, Norah turned around amid Anna's applause, and entered Anna's world with rainbow colors.
The two became friends. Through Norah's voice, Anna grew increasingly sensitive to the patterns of colors. Each day, Norah was documented by Anna in a drawing, which she kept in a suitcase she carried everywhere. The two agreed to meet again the next year. Anna decided that when that day came, she would give the suitcase to Norah as a gift.
The summer of the next year arrived. Brimming with anticipation, Anna boarded a cruise ship bound for Estero Harbor. As they approached one another, a pitch black engulfed the sky while an anomaly descended on the sea, creating enormous suction that swallowed everyone into it like ants.
Before being sucked into the anomaly, a holy white light with nascent divine power bursts forth from Anna's body, fighting against the pulling force of the anomaly. In the mere seconds as the two forces collided, Anna kept smiling as always. With all the strength she had left, she pushed Norah into the safety of the water below, and let herself be engulfed by the anomaly.
Anna seemed to have been in a long dream, in which she was walking toward the beach while Norah was waiting at the end of her path. Anna started running toward Norah, the sounds of waves and her heartbeats raging next to her ears. As time went by, Anna realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could never reach Norah. The two of them could only look at each other from afar. Anna saw Norah waving at her, as though comforting her. Meanwhile, a dark shadow was engulfing the sea and sky on the horizon. Seeing the dark shadow approaching Norah rapidly, Anna bit down on her lower lip and ran toward Norah once again. Rainbow lights and the dark shadow collide, then turn into dreamy bubbles, dispersing.
Has she awakened… from her dream?

“That’s because… Anna’s eyes were special… Anna’s color vision wasn’t very good, she was what people sometimes call color-blind. But she really loved to paint. Can you still learn aesthetics if you’re color-blind? Well, it’s very hard, but it’s not impossible. Anna worked really hard to understand color, studied the colors of objects and living things in incredible depth. Day by day and month by month, she built up some pretty incredible abilities, started to make a name for herself. But despite that, there was always this one problem with her work. Whenever her work ended up being in front of a critic, she always got the same comment: ‘Soulless.’ Yeah. Overly faithful realism, showing things exactly the color they are in the real world, it doesn’t really make you an artist. Real painters don't use color to show you what color something is, they use color to express themselves, to show you what the world looks like through their eyes. It’s possible to learn to mimic pretty much anything if you work hard enough, but how can you express a feeling that you’ve never even felt? Despite that, Anna never let herself get depressed, she was much too positive for that. That day in Estero Harbor opened Anna’s eyes to a whole new way of seeing the world. Just by hearing Norah sing. [...] She opened a door for me too, brought me into her world. It was the first time I’d ever felt like there was someone in the world who was like me. I wanted to be like her… To go out and see the whole world, see what the world was like."

* (Young Anna Young Norah) “I heard you got your admission letter. We’ll be seeing each other next summer in Gemstone Bay, right? PS. I got you a present. I hope next summer the whole world will get to hear your voice.”
* (Young Anna to Young Norah) “Whatever it takes… I want to hear your voice again. I’m Anna… What’s your name? You’ve got such a wonderful singing voice.”

* (To Norah Le Mer) “But you told me, you said you would come find me and use your voice to sing of all the colors of the seasons. I don’t want to make the seasons here stop forever… And you shouldn’t… stay here. I want to watch the seasons passing in Estero again… Okay?”
* (To Norah Le Mer) “You’re going to be the greatest singer… there won’t be a person on the planet who doesn’t love your singing. I know. You can always keep singing, not even death will be able to make you stop.”
