Anne

## How Anne joined the Tourney

Anne was born on March 5, 1865, in the east room of The Yellow House, Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia, as the only child of Walter and Bertha Shirley. They were school teachers who died of scarlet fever three months after her birth.

Anne was taken in by Mrs. Thomas, a woman who had helped with the housework at the Yellow House. She lived with the Thomases until, when she was about nine years old, Mr. Thomas was hit by a train and killed. She then lived with the Hammond family, who had eight children, including three sets of twins, where she was practically a free servant until the age of eleven. When Mr. Hammond died she was sent to to an orphanage until the Cuthberts had requested a boy to be sent to them. A fateful mistake occurred, and Anne was sent instead.

## Classic Mode Intro Movie

At Green Gables, Anne was playing in the backyard. Anne wanted to go see what the brown stuff in the corner was. Diana warned her "Anne! That mud will suck you in! Don't get anywhere near it!" but Anne ignored her saying "Why would mud be that dangerous, Diana?" and stepped into the mud and got her feet stuck. She tries to move her legs and says, "Hey, what's this? My legs aren't doing what they say and-" but looks down and notices that she is sinking into the mud and cries "Help me! I'm sinking!" Diana tells Anne "I tried to warn you!" but Anne crosses her arms in agony saying "What's the worst that could happen if I sink in mud?" She looks down and notices that her legs have been sucked into the mud. She says "It looks like I'm really stuck! THIS IS NO JOKE DIANA! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" as she slowly sinks to her breasts. Despite Anne's struggles, Diana tells her "I'll see you at the tournament." and walks away from the area. Anne says to herself, "I need to be calm. I can't sink further. I might as well try to push my way out of this muddy trap." She places her hands on the surface of the mud she was stuck in, then she pushes on the surface and almost rescues herself saying "I'm getting out!" She continues to push until her legs come out of the mud, then she escapes the deadly mud saying "That was too close!" A moment later, Anne Shirley was at the lobby of the Smash Bros. Tourney. The manager told Anne "If you want to win the Tourney, you have to defeat Hariyama." Anne asks herself "What's a Hariyama?" and the manager replies "The Arm Thrust Pokemon and the evolved form of Makuhita." Anne then says to the camera, "The cooperation is most-appreciated!"

## Character Select Screen Animation

### After the announcer calls her name

Anne twirls then points her hand down at the zooming camera saying "IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING DIRTY!".

## Special Attacks

### Avonlea Strike (Side)

Anne glides forward along the ground and strikes with his palm whether or not he connects with an opponent.

### Avonlea Strike (Up)

Anne's dress gives her the ability to float for 10 seconds.

### Reverse Attack (Down)

Anne strikes a suspicious pose. If anyone tries to attack her, Anne will grab her opponent and hurl them away.

### Super Fireball (Hyper Smash)

Same as Fireball, except with a much larger fireball.

### Jumping Backbreaker (Final Smash)

Anne braces herself ("IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING DIRTY!"). If the opponent attacks Anne while she is braced, she kicks the opponent ("Be prepared, tree!") then she twirls the opponent up in the air before placing him/her on her back ("The cooperation is most-appreciated.") then jumps offscreen and when she comes back to the battlefield, she breaks the opponent's spine which does 99% damage to him/her and then she throws him/her in the opposite direction of Anne when she started her Hyper Smash ("You ought to be ashamed of yourselves."). This move will most likely KO when damage percentages are high.
