## Background

Anette Chanel, whose real name is Chizuru Anami, was born on February 29th to Azuma and Kaori Anami. Since her birthday was on leap day, they decided that they would celebrate it on March 1st to always make sure that their precious child would have something to look forward to every year. She has an older sister Nao, who was seven at the time, and an older brother, Keiichi, who was six. Her parents were considered pretty large globe-trotters, being able to travel to many countries thanks to their wealth. When they would go travel, Anette would always join them, despite being so young. This was actually beneficial to her because now she was able to experience many different cultures, foods, and people. One place they would often frequent was Paris, France and thanks to that, she became fascinated with the city and its intricacies. Even though she was four at the time, Anette truly felt like France was where she was meant to be. Because of this realization, she would later request to stay in Japan if her parents went anywhere else other than France. In fact, she loved the country so much that she would always plan a trip every year just to visit and take in the atmosphere.

Anette’s life outside of traveling was pretty boring to say the least. She would often try to play with her older siblings, but because she was so young they would always ignore her, saying that they didn’t want to play with some, “little kid”. She never felt discouraged by this- in fact, she would go out of her way to grab their attention by either playing pranks or just by doing something ridiculous. Some of those jokes included impersonating her parents on the phone, resetting the alarms so they would be late for school, and hiding her siblings bento in obscure places around the house. Even though they were annoyed at first, her siblings actually found it hilarious and would start pulling pranks on her as well. It soon became a competition to see who could make the better prank, but it was all in good fun in the end. When Nao and Keiichi were at school or out with other friends, Anette would be practicing the piano or going to her weekly piano lessons. She had fun playing the piano, but she found that she was more interested in playing the melodica instead. Even though she liked both instruments, she wasn’t particularly great at either of them until she turned eight, in which she decided to stop piano and focus solely on perfecting the melodica. Interestingly enough, the only reason Anette learned of the melodica was because Nao had got one as a gift and so Anette stole it from her as a prank and just never returned it.

As she got older, Anette had become a real prankster and at this point began to form a persona named ‘Anette Chanel’ as a sort of signature for her japes. Ever since she came up with the name, she began using it on a daily basis. She would dress in French clothing and tell everyone that her name was Anette whenever they asked. Her siblings found it ridiculous, laughing anytime the name was mentioned, but Anette grew attached to the name. She would soon continue to build the character, taking both things she already was and things she wished to be and adding it together. In the end, ‘Anette’ had become a melodica playing prankster, who would always have a smile on her face no matter the circumstance. Soon, ‘Chizuru’ would slowly begin to disappear and be replaced by ‘Anette’ because she was the ideal. She wanted to be more confident and ‘Anette’ provided that for her, not ‘Chizuru’. It had gotten to the point where even though her family would call her Chizuru, she would correct them and introduce herself as Anette, fully abandoning her old name.

She decided that after she finished school, she’d move to Paris for good to fully immerse herself in her persona. In order to do that however, she would first need to procure the funds. Although she was born into a rich household, Anette knew that her parents would never fund such a thing. Even though Anette was only fourteen, she knew she had to make some money by herself, but she also wanted to have fun while doing it. This was also a way for her to prove to herself and to her family, that she was truly Anette and not Chizuru. She went through many different options, many of which would have brought some sort of fame, and eventually decided on becoming an idol. She was in the right age range that they were looking for and she thought that she had a pretty good image for it. Once it was finalized, she immediately began practicing her singing and dancing.

After a year or so, it was finally time for Anette to start her new path. She went to I MY ME’s open auditions and captured the judges attention right away. It was no surprise to her that she was accepted to the company since she worked so hard over the past year and now she was one step closer to her dream. She breezed through the mandatory training and settled into the dorms with no issues. Her debut had a pretty mediocre response and because of it she was only getting gigs to do comedy skits with her friend Eloise; however, deep down Anette knew she wasn’t getting anywhere with this and knew she was destined for greater heights. This would all change when she was introduced to the new idol group, Interlunium.
