Annika Haggith Banjoper is Blaze the Cat's firstborn child and oldest daughter. She was synthesized by Connor Banjoper, along with her seven younger siblings.

## History

Annika was synthesized by Connor Banjoper on December 20, 2014. She was born in a 9-year old girl's body, even though she didn't actually turn 9 until December 20, 2023. Both Blaze the Cat and Connor Banjoper were happy to have their first child.

Annika enjoyed her years spent with Connor Banjoper and Blaze the Cat. Two days after her last sibling, Aynabat was born, Connor Banjoper was forced by his own parents to break up with Blaze, leaving Annika and her siblings uncertain about their future. However, Connor Banjoper did manage to maintain his relationship with all of Blaze's children.

Annika and her siblings went to Tokyo, Japan in the summer of 2021 to watch their mother compete in the Olympic Games with her friends (outside the Sonic franchise). They even went to check on Blaze after Rust the Alligator accidentally knocked her out in the boxing championship. While in the changing room, she expressed her concern for Sonic's injuries in the road cycling event (which was two days before the boxing event). Annika and her siblings then joined Blaze and her friends in a night out at a nightclub named A-Life.

After the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, Annika and her siblings started going to school in Barhamsville, Virginia. They found Barhamsville's schools to be quite interesting, as the schoolwork was easy for all the grade levels, and they only gave homework on Wednesdays.

On October 7, 2022 AD, it was decided that Annika would take her mother's place as Banjoper Studios' videogame franchise protagonist, due to the fact that Connor Banjoper decided to make the Blaze the Cat franchise an "in-universe only" franchise partially made by SEGA. Her videogame franchise was publicly announced a few days later.

Annika is friends with almost all of her classmates. Her best schoolfriends include Linda the Meerkat, Eileen the Cat, Rae the Cat, and Laurence the Cat (her boyfriend). (Yes, three of her best friends are cats.)

Annika currently lives in Barhamsville, Virginia, United States with her seven younger siblings.
