## Personality and Biography

Annie is a Space Hopper who works with her co-hop Yerin to collect bounties and complete missions. She is bubbly and positive, and is shown to have a fondness for animals, and a love for adventure. She is often the optimistic foil to her co-hop's pessimism, though she has shown exasperation at Yerin's abrasiveness on some occassions. She is very caring and protective, as she became very angry with Travis was threatened by monster beetles in Episode 4. She also is very encouraging, and nurturing, as she takes care of the ship's entire Garden Room on her own[1] . Annie is a vegetarian.

An Earthling, Annie was born on Earth and left her home planet 2 years prior to the story, as stated in a scrapped episode availible on the patreon. She speaks in what seems to be a british accent. A picture of Annie in a space suit similar to Slim's can be seen on the fridge in the Hopper's kitchen[2] .

In episode 1, Yerin and Annie captured Slim Turner, a DJ on his first tour in space. Shortly after, he and Fysh escaped from the Hopper's jail cells. After Yerin recaptured Slim, his bounty turned out to be posted by a false client, and so the two travelled to Jeff's cafe to recuperate. While there, Annie apologized to Morris, the older brother of Travis, a space taxi driver who got caught up in the mess. As a deal to prevent Morris from reporting the Hopper's misconduct and arresting Travis who had done nothing wrong, Annie arranged with Morris for she and Travis to become Travis' permanent bodyguards for free.

Shortly after, she was offered a map to the Center of Cosmos by Linus, along with her co-hop, who eagerly took on the mission. Annie expressed hesitation and concern for the difficulty of the mission despite her love of adventure.

While giving Travis a tour of the ship, beetles from her garden became mutated and out of control. Annie came up with the idea to recruit Travis' pet giant skink Nanny to help defeat the massive Queen, who was easily devoured by the lizard.

## Strengths and Abilities

Annie is extremely strong, easily able to lift many things including Fysh, Slim's trunk and a massive robot's severed head. She is able to use the machine on her arm to enhance her punches with a green energy boost, creating a forcefield. She wields a large holo-hammer with ease. She also is shown to be very intelligent, having a veterinary degree, analyzing the ship after the beetle incident, and able to think fast and determine that Travis' lizard would be able to defeat the Queen beetle.
