Anna Heartfilia (アンナ・ハートフィリア Anna Hātofiria) is a Mage who is responsible for opening the Eclipse Gate four hundred years ago.

==Appearance==
400 years ago, Anna was a young woman with a shapely hourglass figure. She tied her lengthy hair back in a ponytail and had side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head. Anna was dressed in elegant red and white robes with a high-collared cloak. She wore a keyhole blouse and a long dress. Overall, she greatly resembles her descendants, Layla and Lucy Heartfilia, who inherited her general figure many generations later.
==Personality==
Zeref described Anna as a kindhearted person, who was especially gifted at taking care of others, being that she was the caretaker of the Dragon Slayers, teaching them how to read and write. When knitting a scarf for Natsu Dragneel, Anna is seen smiling cheerfully implying that she enjoys doing favors for other people.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 512, Pages 15-16 Anna is also somewhat etiquette, always saying to others there’s a proper order to do things.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 529, Page 19
==History==
Anna met with Zeref to devise the plan along with 5 pacifist Dragons to defeat Acnologia, where he created the Eclipse Gate that requires a Celestial Spirit Mage to open and travel through time. Planning to send the Dragon Slayers with their foster parents sealed inside them to a future period of time that was rich in Ethernano so that their souls, which were maimed by Acnologia's Dragon Slayer Magic, could properly heal. This coincided with Zeref's initial plan to have Natsu become powerful enough to destroy him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 465, Pages 12-13
Before the plan took place, the Dragon parents would gather several times a year, Anna would act as the teacher for the Dragon Slayer kids teaching them language and human culture, during one of these times, Anna also knitted Natsu a scarf that was made of Igneel's fallen scales.
Before leaving her era, Anna said her farewell to her husband and asked him to protect their child, Tatsuya also encouraged Anna to find happiness, even if it meant meeting someone new to love.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 155, Pages 18-20
For the plan to progress, because Anna opened the Eclipse Gate in the past year X377, someone must open from the other side in the future, therefore Anna left a book passed down the Heartfilia family that explained her plan would need to tend to its opening at the specified date of exit. With every successive generation of Celestial Spirit Mage after Anna, the family waited for the time that the Dragon Slayers were to purportedly arrive through the Gate until Layla Heartfilia's time arrived, during which she successfully completed the four hundred year plan on July 7, year X777 within the Fiore Kingdom’s palace.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 468, Pages 9-13Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 530, Pages 2-9
However, due to an unforeseen accident caused by Sonya and Animus who also went through the gate with them, all the children were blasted from exiting the gate and scattered across the Kingdom.Wish on a Star Anna spent the next 5 years searching for them all, but upon seeing how they’ve already adjusted to the new age, she decided not to interfere, believing in a proper order to do things. During which, Anna also discovered the Space Between Time, an oddity she believed to have either been caused by them time travelling created a warp in the normal flow of time or the concept of time trying to repair itself. Anna kept a low profile all these years investigating it as well as hidden from the world until she could make use of it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 529, Pages 19-20Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 530, Pages 11-13
