## Biography

### Early life

Anne grew up as an only child, and met her best friend, Sasha, in Kindergarten. At some point, she began helping out at her parents' Thai restaurant. On her thirteenth birthday, her friend Sasha convinced her to ditch school and steal a music box that their other friend, Marcy, had found.

### Becoming a Plantar

After opening the music box, the three friends are mysteriously transported to different parts of Amphibia, a world where frogs are the dominant species. She becomes known as the beast, until she saves Sprig from a giant praying mantis. Sprig's grandfather, Hop Pop, then allows her to live with them in their basement.

At first she keeps them at a distance, becoming close with Sprig but still keeping the music box a secret, however after going on several adventures, she finally tells the Plantar family about the box. They also being to accept her as a member of the Plantar family, despite not being a blood relative.

### From beast to protector

Despite having the respect of her frog family, the rest of Wartwood still treated Anne as a monster, calling her "scarecrow." After toads come to collect missing taxes, she decides to join them in hopes it would get the town's respect, but when she sees the mistreatment of the frogs by the toads, she attempts to undo some of the damage.

Eventually, when the toads attempts to take from the Plantar family, she stands up to them and calls them out, causing the town to grow more supportive of her. Together, her and Sprig reveal that Mayor Toadstool had been embezzling money and that the frogs had paid their taxes. She also volunteers to watch them when they hibernate to keep any of them from disappearing as they had in the past.

### Frog of the Year

All this led to the town accepting Anne as one of their own and voting her Frog of the Year due to how much she'd grown since she first arrived. After celebrating that, she's finally reunited with Sasha, and learns she'd been working with the toads' leader, Grime.

After the toads trap all the frogs and plan to execute Hop Pop, Anne attempts to break them out, and after being encouraged by Sprig finally stands up to Sasha. The toads' tower is then blown up by One-Eyed Wally, and Sasha and Anne are separated once again when Grime carries Sasha off.
