Anne Boonchuy

**Anne Savisa Boonchuy**, also known as **Anne Boonchuy**, is the main protagonist from the *Amphibia* series.

## **Charactah Account**

A 13-year-old Thai-American girl who finds a music box that leads her and her friends to Amphibia. She must adjust to her new life and face the ups-and-downs of Amphibia while trying to find a way to get back home. She is associated with the blue gem, representing heart, on the Calamity Box.

Anne is at first described as "self-centered" by the official series description and as "fearless and independent" by her voice actress, Brenda Song. Anne, filled with an adventurous spirit and excitement, is fun-loving yet determined, and will not hesitate to protect her friends and family.

Anne was also irresponsible and a bit of a rule-breaker, not respecting the limitations on her freedom within both Amphibia and the human world. Anne not only stole a music box while knowing it wasn't right to, but she also showcases somewhat of a stubborn personality. This was shown throughout the series from when Anne pushed Sprig to go to the lake even though Hop Pop specifically told them not to as he was still having doubts about Anne - thinking how he shouldn't let a "monster" that is Anne wander outside and terrorize the town. Oftentimes, Anne knows the wrong decisions she makes aren't right, but she isn't willing to admit it unless she was under massive amounts of pressure. She learned her mistake when she knew it wasn't the right idea to fake being ill, as it was likely the reason the rest of the Plantar family became sick due to an extra workload during a storm. She did attempt to make up for her mistake by taking care of the Plantars in their sick state, but she didn't admit her errors to the family until she believed they were going to die from the "disease" they caught. Following this incident, Anne became less conniving and manipulative after her laziness nearly got her adoptive family killed (or so they thought).

## **Trivia**

* Anne is the first leading animated character in television history to be Thai-American and the second leading Asian-American animated character on a Disney Channel animated series, following Jake Long from *American Dragon: Jake Long*, who is of Chinese-American descent.
	+ Anne wouldn't be the last Thai-American leading animated protagonist. The second would be Molly McGee from *The Ghost and Molly McGee*, who is of Thai and Irish descent.
* Anne can *understand* Thai fluently, but has trouble speaking it aloud. This is called Receptive Bilingualism.
* Anne is the only girl in the Calamity Trio whose parents appear onscreen.
* Anne, Sasha and Marcy are the only humans to visit Amphibia.
	+ However, they are *not* the only humans to *see* Amphibia, as Mr. Boonchuy, Mrs. Boonchuy, Terri, Dr. Jan, Ally, Jess, Molly Jo, Humphrey Westwood, two elderly Thai women, Mr. X, Jenny and unnamed FBI agents witness the dimension through Terri's portal in "Escape to Amphibia".
* Anne, Sasha and Marcy are featured in one first drawings creator Matt Braly ever did for Amphibia, with Anne sleeping as Sasha holds her and Marcy on a couch at some point before the events of the series. The drawing served as a way for Braly to remind himself that, "no matter what they went through on the show," Anne, Sasha, and Marcy would always care about each other. The image was captioned with the words "Its complicated," which he revealed represented the complicated growth their dynamic would go through. Each of the trio, even Anne, had played a role in what made their friendship toxic, but each of three also played a role into repairing it into a healthy state. Upon breaking out of the dynamic they had found themselves in by being separated into different Amphibian communities, Anne, Sasha, and Marcy grew into new people who were ready to reform their friendship.
* It is revealed in "Reunion" that the day Anne was teleported to Amphibia was also the same day she just turned 13 years old, and her parents had planned to throw her a birthday party at home.
	+ In the episode "The New Normal", it is revealed that Anne, Sasha, and Marcy have been trapped in Amphibia for five months by the time Anne returns to Earth.
		- According to Matt Braly, Anne returned to Earth sometime in late Fall or early Winter.
* Anne was not born on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday.
* Anne retained possession of the music box when she was transported to Amphibia, likely because she was the one who opened it.
* Anne's eyes faded blue in "Anne or Beast?" and "Handy Anne", due to the effects of the Calamity Box.
* Anne was part of her school's tennis Varsity, which explains why she often carries a tennis racket with her.
* Her eyes have brown irises.
* She is a loud and messy eater.
* She likes massage chairs and will protest at being asked to get off them.
* She reads zoo books and manga sometimes.
* She did a bouldering club in school.
* Anne was living in Amphibia for more than three months as of "Reunion". By the end of the second season, she has been living there for five months total before finally returning home to Earth.
* Anne mentions that she was once a whack-a-mole champion back on Earth.
* It is strongly implied that Anne is very responsible for the use of her phone since she spent days in Amphibia with her phone still being at full battery, until Hop Pop drained it all in the episode "Taking Charge".
* She attends Saint James Middle School, which seems to be a parochial school. (Also known as a private school)
* Despite showing that she can get clean, having worn clean clothing and combed or slicked her hair on more than one occasion, Anne's hair always seems to revert back to having leaves and a stick in it as if she has been dragged through the woods again. During the first half of the third season, the leaves and sticks in her hair is gone due to her no longer living in Amphibia, which is a wild environment. When Anne returns to Amphibia, however, it isn't long before she reverts to her messy appearance, having lost her shoe again in quicksand.
* Anne is shown to have a wide range of talents, such as dancing, shooting, cooking, sports, and sewing. It is implied that she learned some of these skills either through her family, her school clubs, or her friends Sasha and Marcy.
* Some of Anne's quips such as her saving "Obvi", which is short for "Obviously" in slang, most likely came from Sasha, showing the influence she has had on her.
* In "Reunion", it is revealed that prior to meeting the Plantar family, Anne hated frogs to the point that Sasha would make fun of her because of it and try to gross her out.
* It is revealed in "A Caravan Named Desire" that Anne once accidentally ruined a school play as a child after she knocked herself over on stage, which set the stage ablaze and caused her classmates to panic. She deems this experience as traumatizing, which led to her disliking stage performing. Nonetheless, she still performed a play as Peter Pan in SJMS as seen in a flashback in "The First Temple".
* In the episode "Quarreler's Pass", Hop Pop claimed he was going to talk about Anne's boyfriend "again" to Sprig and Polly when Anne pushed him off the Fwagon and off the cliff. Given Anne's irritation of Hop Pop asking her about it throughout the trip, it is ambiguous as to whether Anne may or may not actually have a boyfriend back home.
* Matt Braly said during an interview that Anne reads manga, "[probably saw] anime", and watched *The Lord of the Rings* films. The first fact was supported in the episode "Trip to the Archives", where she shouts "Zoo books and manga, here I come!".
* Her fictional human counterpart is Anna from her story, ***Phone Mo***, and a fictional character in the episode, "The Shut-In!".
	+ In the Polish and Czech dub of the show, Anne is named Anna.
* "Battle of the Bands" shows Anne to be a skilled guitarist, songwriter, and singer even though she's a teenager.
* The powers Anne has from the blue gem of the Calamity Box give her a form similar to Super Saiyan Blue from the Dragon Ball franchise.
	+ It is possible that Anne's blue hair is actually a reference to her prototype design, which also had blue hair.
* It is unclear if Anne's powers are weaker than they should be, given the fact that part of the power was drained when she interrupted the charging process for the blue gem of the Calamity Box.
	+ However, in "Anne-sterminator", when Anne used her powers, her hair was a slightly dimmer blue, was a lot more wavy and pointed, and didn't have branches stick out like how it did in "True Colors", showing she can limit the power input she uses even if unintentionally or unconsciously.
	+ This is also shown to be true in "The New Normal" when Anne's eyes glowed brighter than how it was in previous seasons, but was limited to only her eyes and allowed her to sprint at great speeds, manipulate little energy and punch with great strength.
* It is revealed in "Fight at the Museum" that Anne owns a Leo shirt and that her username on WooHoo! Queries is "bananner811".
	+ 811 could also be a reference to Matt Braly's birthday, which is November 8th.
* Initially, Anne was grossed out with the insect-based cuisine found in Amphibia, but over time she subtly went from hating Amphibian food to getting used to it, to even craving it near the end, sometimes catching herself for liking such weird stuff.
* She dislikes durian as shown in "The New Normal".
* According to her dad, Anne once changed the grades on her report card, which she didn't know he knew about.
* Anne is associated with lotuses, which are a common symbol in Thai culture. For example, the symbol on Anne's T-shirt in season 3 is both a flame and a lotus, and her power aura takes the shape of lotuses in "True Colors".
	+ Symbolically, the lotus in Thai culture is tied to spiritual awakening, which is an intentional reference to Anne developing Calamity Box powers.
* In the *Amphibiland* pilot, Anne was originally going to have both her shoes, write in her diary during her time in Amphibiland, and carry a picture that only had Marcy and Sasha.
* Anne likely downloads every movie and show she likes before teleported into Amphibia, as she has a pretty large collection on her phone.
* Anne likes rewatching movies and shows, as seen in many episodes.
* During the lead up to the finale, Matt Braly revealed that Anne's "second character arc" was about her coming to have "self-love and self-esteem". This was then outright confirmed in "All In".
* According to the Guardian, Anne will die of natural causes in roughly 78 years, meaning she has a natural life-span of about 91 years.
* Although the Guardian claimed to have revived Anne before she sacrificed herself to destroy the Core by making a "perfect" copy of her, there is one flaw: Anne originally only had her left shoe, with the right one missing, but afterward she only has her right shoe, with her left one missing.
* During the epilogue, Anne's birthday is mentioned to be on the same day as Andrias and The Core's invasion of Earth, implying the girls either spend exactly one year in Amphibia or it became Anne's new birthday, since that is the day she died and was revived by the Guardian.
	+ However, this could just be an error.
* Whilst discussing the ten year gap between their return to Earth and Anne's 23rd birthday, Matt Braly said he hopes to keep his comments on the relationship between Anne and her friends during that interim vague to ensure any fan "interpretation is preserved and valid."
* If her ending monologue is counted, Anne is the last character in the series to speak, and one of the last to be seen, alongside Sasha and Marcy.
	+ However, if her monologue is *not* counted, the unnamed children in her class would be the final characters to speak.
* Matt Braly personally sees Anne saying goodbye to the Plantars, with the hope she will see them again one day, as his goodbye to Amphibia, with the hope that he perhaps one day will return to this world he has created.
* A newspaper article with Anne's picture in the headline "Girl Lost in Frog Land?? Hoax??" appears on Camila Noceda's tablet at the end of *The Owl House*'s second season finale, "King's Tide". The same headline reappears at the beginning of "Thanks to Them".
* Anne will die at 91 years old.
