**Anna Myers** is a young journalist from Zürich, Switzerland. Her office is called Eure Tages. She is the main protagonist and perspective character in the chapters of Murder in the Alps.

## Physical appearance

Anna Myers is a woman in her thirties, most likely born in 1900. She has short blonde hair and blue eyes. In Part 1, she wears a tan-coloured turtleneck, over which she wears a green jacket or a brown coat, along with a black skirt, a tan hat with a blue ribbon, and a golden-colored medallion necklace. In Part 2, she instead wears a pink short-sleeved blouse and a navy blue skirt but wears the same hat and does not have the necklace. In Part 3, she now wears a black turtleneck with a buttoned red shirt, a belt, and a tan skirt. She may also wear a short tan buttoned coat, the same previous hat only with a red ribbon, and black gloves. Anna wears her necklace from Part 1 again. Consistently, she is almost always seen carrying her camera and diary.

Before the release of the game in October 2018, footage showed Anna initially having longer hair going down to her chest, being rendered photo-realistically, and having a darker and sharper hat. Once the game did release, Anna's appearance was only changed from looking slightly up to looking directly forward while retaining every other physical feature. Once *Unforgiven* released, Anna's appearance was now more stylistic than photorealistic with short hair. This character design change applied back to previous chapters and remains used for future chapters.

## Personality

Anna is intelligent and curious. She often manages to construct a theory with very little proof, and she's almost always right, with the only chapter when she wasn't able to identify the killer quick enough being *The Dada Killer*. When in danger, she tends not to rely on her emotions, but on her logic. She is very kind and caring towards everyone, regardless of their background or the way they look, and ready to offer a favour for anyone who needs help. The characters that she's better acquainted with, like Otto, also receive their fair share of humorous needling or scolding from time to time.

Still, Anna has a stern side when she's serious about something - for example, when she learns about Otto Reger and Father Lenz's side business of smuggling, she calls Otto out on it and resolves (for a time) to tell the authorities. She doesn't hesitate to tell the people she's accusing of murders what she thinks of their crimes.

According to the Murder in the Alps (aka MIA) Team, Anna speaks English, German and French fluently. Her father works to an embassy, and her mother works at home. Her uncle Tom works in a Candy Store, and her grandfather worked in an auto repair store. In her free time, Anna loves to travel, write in her diary, and sing.

## Abilities

Anna is a highly skilled journalist. Her writings are well-regarded, and she's known to be able to type very quickly. She speaks English and French, and most likely German, as she lives and works in Zürich. She can drive a car.

Throughout the game, Anna also displays her skills in less everyday journalistic tasks, such as lock-picking, electric work and first aid.

## Relationships

### Otto Reger

Otto Reger and Anna got on well from the first time Anna visited Hotel Reger in *Deadly Snowstorm*, after which they develop a seemingly close and trusting friendship. When Otto gets scared of the SS Brownshirts' activity in *Atlantic Connection* and in *Dancing With The Beasts*, he contacted Anna for help, knowing that she's a good detective. They trust each other strongly. Anna has promised him to visit the Hotel more often, supports him through his decision to stop smuggling, and tends to give him a few light-hearted tellings-off every now and then.

### Walter McCain

Similarly inclined to start investigating the mysterious deaths, Walter McCain and Anna start to work together to solve the crimes in *Deadly Snowstorm*. A lack of communication between the two causes Anna to doubt Walter, and suspect that he is the killer.

### Claudia Perret

At first, Claudia did not take Anna's investigation seriously, but panicked and tried to scare her. When Anna was exposing her, she tried to blame Anna, but didn't succeed.

### Oswald Bernstein

Oswald was friends with Anna, but that did not stop him from trying to kill her. As a result, he started speaking rudely to her and threatened to.

### Giuseppe Cozzi

When they first meet in Part 2, Cozzi is very angry at Anna for meddling in the investigation, and forces Luigi to arrest her. However, after some successful investigations he starts to respect her.

### Luigi Affini

While investigating the death of Aldo Molinelli, Cozzi wanted to avoid Anna's interference. But Anna persuaded Luigi to help her. He, too, at first did not trust her investigation too much, but then he saw that it was yielding results. From that time on, Anna and Luigi became close. It's been speculated that Luigi and Anna have romantic feelings for each other, although it's possible to read the story so that they're just friends, too.

### Paola Tornetta

After finding out that Anna is interested in crimes, Paola turned to her for help, and when Paola grieved for Aldo, Anna supported her in every possible way. After Paola's death, Anna visited her grave and blamed herself for her suicide.

### Silvia Molinelli

At first Silvia was hostile towards Anna, but after realizing she wants to help her, and agreed to risk her life at the end of *The Heir*.

### Teodora Cozzi

Teodora Cozzi, wife of Giuseppe Cozzi, who appeared in *The Only Redemption*, was a religious woman who lead a Christian group in Porto Ceso. She was probably against the Fiesta di Maria festival at Porto Ceso. She killed both Cloe Como and Regina Valenti. Her rudeness to Anna shocked Signor Cozzi and she was arrested.

### Judit Halle

Judit was a big fan of Anna. They worked alongside in *The Dada Killer* until Anna unintentionally betrayed Judit. However, Anna gives her a cat, and they become friends again. That is until the last day, where Oskar kills Judit. Anna falls onto the floor and cries, and devotes the rest of the investigation to remembering Judit.

### Sven Lange

Sven is the chief editor at Eure Tages and Anna's mean, ordering boss. He orders Anna to do stuff, even when it goes against her principles. Although Sven is rude, Anna still does what he asks of her. When Anna wrote an article of Vanessa's murder, he stole the photo of the crime scene to make the article more interesting.
