Anu Novak/Relationships

## Overview

Anu Novak has fairly good relations with everyone she meets. She doesn't hate anyone, and no one particularly hates her, although she can be annoying at times. She is also in Class 1-A, along with the canon characters. The students all know her as spontaneous and childish.

## Friends

Anu has made quite a few friends during her life! She treats them just as she would treat anyone else. These are the OCs within the BNHA storyline.

* **Toranporin Janpu:** Although Janpu is hotheaded, cocky, and prideful, Anu managed to become good friends with her. Anu hangs out with Janpu when she can, although they are in different classes (Anu being in 1-A and Janpu being in 1-B). Janpu keeps to herself and doesn´t really share her emotions, but Anu doesn´t mind! When Janpu doesn´t feel like talking, Anu will pretend to be Janpu and have a conversation with herself.
* **Hi Mari Akiyama:** Anu considers Akiyama her friend, although Akiyama does what she can to get away from ¨the annoying squirt.¨ The two share a love for video games, and Anu will often try to play with Akiyama. The two sometimes go to a yakitori shop - or rather, Anu drags Akiyama with her.
* **Megumi Shizen:** The two have a good relationship as they´re both cheerful! Because Anu is a horrible chef, Megumi cooks her meals a lot. In return, Anu will often treat Megumi to sushi (from a restaurant, of course). Megumi has tried to help Anu with her fear of water, as that´s what Megumi´s Quirk focuses on. She´s made no progress, though.
* **Phoebie Roselei:** Phoebie and Anu became friends through being in the same class together, thanks to Anu randomly striking up a conversation with Phoebie one day. Contrary to Phoebie's calmness, Anu is full of excitement, leading to them being the perfect pair. The two support each other, but aren't afraid to let loose when fighting. Anu likes to treat Phoebie out to dinner on occasion, always to an Italian restaurant with fettucine alfredo. Unbeknownst to Anu, Phoebie knows about and is angered by Augustus Reaper, the man who tortured Anu (after the Shie Hassaikai Arc).

## Others

As stated in Anu´s character page, she often chats with random people! Here are people Anu's interacted with but hasn't yet made her friends.

* **Augustus Reaper:** Reaper is a scientist, and enjoys learning about certain objects and people. He initially met Anu in his civilian form, and they held a conversation, even going to eat together at a restuarant. That little exchange led to both developing opinions on one another: Anu sensed that Reaper was powerful and still admires that power, but remains a little scared of him, and Reaper viewed Anu as a potential experiment. Later, he would end up kidnapping her through a group of hired thugs. During the time as Reaper´s experiment, Anu was injected with neurotoxins (poisons which act on the nervous sytem), mind-affecting drugs, and tortured with high voltages of electricity. Reaper also became aware of Anu´s dark side, and cultivated it by isolating Anu in a room. Despite everything Reaper did to Anu, she does not consider him an enemy. She was eventually released.

* **Yami Akuto:** Yami made several attempts on Anu´s life and also injured her friends. He kidnapped Rai, his grandson, under the guise of wanting to spend time with him. Although Yami was (and still is) quite murderous, Anu doesn´t consider him an enemy. He seems to be reformed now, but nonetheless, he still isn´t one of Anu´s friends.
* **Ora Chikara**: Kara's relationship with Anu is pretty chill - they never argue or get in fights. They´re usually seen hanging out almost once a week. Anu considers him her friend, but he doesn't think due to his nature. Everyone thinks of them as friends to each other.

## Roleplay Buddies

Anu has somehow made friends in alternate universes, as well! These would be the people outside of the regular BNHA storyline.

* **Rai Tatakai:** Rai is diagnosed with depression and has an introverted personality. Despite all of this, Anu still tries to be friendly. They eventually became close friends. After the instance where Rai tried to commit suicide, Anu told him that she wanted him to live because he was one of the only people that didn't view her as a monster.
* **Hoka Hue:** Hoka and Anu are good friends. They´re similar in the fact that they both want to be Pro Heroes, they both like to sleep, and they´re both good friends with Rai. When Rai and Kristy went to defend against a villain attack, Hoka attacked Anu (without the use of his Quirk) for allowing Rai to be placed in a dangerous situation, as Anu decided to sacrifice Rai to the villains for her, Tap's, and Hoka's safety. When Anu was shot in the leg by Rai's grandfather, Yami Akuto, Hoka was the first one to run to her and put pressure on the wound, though.
* **Kristy:** Kristy and Anu have a good relationship. Whenever in training, they work well together and always have each other´s backs. They also stick up for one another, with Kristy telling Anu that she wasn't "a beast," and Anu helping Kristy out when needed. Kristy also tries to teach Anu how cook and helped Anu somewhat get over her fear of water.
* **Kingston Osore:** They met in a very strange way, with Kingston using chocolate to lure "the singing beast" to him so he could slay it. It turns out it was Anu humming her favorite tunes all along.
* **Kagami Yawarakai:** Kagami is usually serious and strict, and often rude. Anu sees past Kagami's cold exterior, though, and so the two are good friends! As her friend, Kagami is always kind to Anu and becomes more cheery in her company. Kagami will give Anu candies sometimes, from her family's candy shop! In return, Anu will make Kagami mochi, as she knows that's what Kagami loves. The two will always help each other out in times of need.
* **Tap Ondo:** Tap and Anu have a playful relationship. Whenever Anu was hungry or thirsty, Tap would give Anu some of his food or water. However, they engaged in a prank wars for a long time, each enlisting help of friends to prank the other.
* **Kasukari Sachiko:** Kasukari was very nervous on his first day of school, but Anu was immediately friendly and helped calm him down. They work together well as a team, as shown when they were battle training against Hoka and Lucifer. When Anu heard that Kasu was bullied, she got very angry and demanded to know who the bullies were so she could exact revenge. During the fight against Yami, Anu got severely injured, and Kasu was there to help take her to the hospital. Kasu also gives Anu vials filled with his concentrated slime, which has a blinding effect.
* **Kanami Sarutobi:** Anu hasn't gotten to get to know Kanami very well, but she wants to, because they got along somewhat! They both were angered with the fact that Reaper International was bombed. From the scrimmage between Kanami and Rai, she could see that Kanami was very powerful. When the two got knocked out, Anu carried them both to the infirmary, showing how she cares for even a stranger like Kanami. Anu can also sense that Kanami has a dark side similar to hers...which intrigues her.
* **Kami Takahashi:** Kami and Anu are really good friends! When the secret about Kami´s side job was uncovered, Rai got mad at Kami, which caused her to want to run away. Despite this, Anu told Kami that she would never be upset about such things, because Kami´s motivation for working with villains outweighed the actions. This further proves the strong bond between the two. Kami and Anu often go out to eat with one another.
* **Percy J. Granger:** Anu and Percy are friends. Anu is pretty rude to him, but if he ever needs something, you´d better bet that she´ll be there to help. The two tease one another a lot and Percy has bought Anu dinner. He once tried to rig a poker game so that he could give Anu money without her noticing. They argue over who gets to keep Fenrir, who was originally Percy´s dog that died.

* **Mizumi Bakugou:** In another roleplay, Anu and Mizumi are close friends! Anu likes to tease Mizumi a lot and always comes to her aide whenever Mizumi is feeling sad. She is a little oblivious to Mizumi's feelings, though. Anu isn't sure how she feels about Mizumi, but she's pretty sure she has a crush on her.
