Anne Boonchuy

Anne Boonchuy is a human girl who serves as one of the main protagonists of *Amphibia*.

She is a 13-year-old Thai-American in 7th grade when Adam opened the Calamity Box for her friends Sasha and Marcy on her 13th birthday; the same night that took them to the mystical and dangerous world of Amphibia.

While lost on a strange continent in the shape of a lily pad, Anne finds a new best friend, an enthusiastic young 10-year-old frog named Sprig Plantar.

Together they start seeking adventures and exploring the secrets of the world of Amphibia.

Anne and her new froggy family try to uncover the mystery behind the Calamity Box and a way to get Anne back home, along with trying to find her two other friends who were transported with her.

## Appearance

Anne is a Thai-American teenage girl of tall height, with a slender build, light brown skin, and messy auburn hair.

She is noticeably taller than Marcy but shorter than Sasha.

Anne also has dark brown eyes which only appear when she is feeling fear.

When she was younger, her hair was braided into a tuft on one side.

After awakening her blue gem calamity powers in "True Colors", Anne now has the ability to activate a super mode of sorts.

When she does so, her hair and eyes become a neon blue color and she obtains antler like twigs in her hair which have flowers growing on them.

Anne wears a school uniform as her everyday outfit.

It consists of a light gray shirt with a purple collar and an "SJMS" (Saint James Middle School) crest embroidered on it, a short purple skirt, a pair of yellow sneakers with white lining, and white socks.

She also carries a magenta pink backpack with a TUFSTUF logo on it, which contains all of her personal belongings.

Following her transportation to Amphibia, she lost her right shoe; said shoe is currently in the possession of Captain Grime.

In "Bessie & MicroAngelo" and "The Third Temple", she began wearing a gold chest armor with blue trim and frog symbol.

Anne has several other clothing appearances throughout the show:

In "Lily Pad Thai", she wears traditional Thai attire known as a "Sabai", consisting of a green wrapped skirt with geometric print, a cream breast cloth draped over one shoulder, a chain of flowers in her hair, and an elaborate flower bracelet on her wrist.

In "Hop Pop and Lock", Anne wears her bun on her head with a green ribbon tying it together, with a light pink headband. She also wears a green undershirt with a slightly darker pink T-Shirt.

She also wears dark brown athletic shorts complemented by fuzzy pink legging cuffs.

During the dance, she wears a dark marine blue dress with her hair tied onto one side with a blue ribbon.

In "Girl Time", she wears her cleansed hair flat reaching her shoulders after a spa and haircut treatment.

She also wears a dark lime and yellow knee-length dress with a cross-stitched across the chest. She also wears light brown shoes with black laces.

In "Best Fronds" and “Sprig vs. Hop Pop”, Anne wears her swimming kit which consists of a sleeveless black shirt, with cyan linings across the sides.

She wears lilac-colored shorts and dark aquamarine sandals, which contain yellow straps.

In "Flood, Sweat & Tears" and "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers", she wears her sleeping attire which include a plain white T-shirt along with dark purple shorts with a violet-colored stripe.

In "Stakeout" during her hallucination, she wears her normal clothing, however, her hair doesn’t have the leaves that are typically shown in the series.

Instead, her hair glows many shades of blue, purple, and pink, as her entire body, including a small twig in her hair, glows with a blue and purple hue, which almost resembles her calamity powered hair from "True Colors".

In "Anne of the Year" for her Frog of the Year party, her hair is cleansed, straightened, and styled in a way that resembles a pixie cut.

She wears bachelor clothes consisting of a white tuxedo, a black bowtie, a powder blue undershirt, light gray lapels, a small gold button that pins the coat together, and a purple sash that wraps from her right shoulder all the way to her back.

Her dress shoes are peanut brown and of a darker shade near the toe, heel, and tongue and have black hidden knot laces.

In "Reunion" during the flashback on Earth, her design is identical except that she has her right shoe, meaning this was before the series started.

During the battle, Anne wears her normal outfit but along with brown metal breastplate armor, a green metal pauldron that has a frog foot symbol on her left shoulder and leather bands.

In part of "Civil Wart" and "New Wartwood", Anne is seen wearing a dark gray zipped hoodie with darker hems and cuffs and a small "SJMS" (Saint James Middle School) crest on the front. In "Wally and Anne", she's seen wearing a similar hoodie, but with no crest and no zipper.

As shown in the season 3 intro, she now wears her casual clothes instead of her school uniform.

They consist of a white t-shirt with pink sleeves and an orange flame symbol on the front, blue shorts, a yellow jacket that she ties around her waist, white socks and a pair of shoes in purple and white.

## Personality

Anne was described as "Self-Centered" by the official series description and as "fearless and independent" by her voice actress.

As an example, in "Anne or Beast?" she was brave enough to hold back the red praying mantis that was twice her size, in the hopes that Sprig and the Wartwood townsfolk could flee unharmed.

Also judging by her appearance, she is seemingly filled with an adventurous spirit, curiosity, and excitement.

Anne would show a dislike to pineapples (especially as a pizza topping) and will threaten anyone mentioning it.

She is also a bit of a rule-breaker, not respecting the limitations on her freedom within both Amphibia and the human world.

As seen in episodes like "Best Fronds", Anne not only stole a music box while knowing it wasn't right to, but she also showcases somewhat of a stubborn personality, this was shown throughout the series from when Anne pushed Sprig to go to the lake even though Hop Pop specifically told not to as he was still having doubts with Anne - thinking how he shouldn't let a "monster" that is Anne wander outside and might terrorize the town (however, both of these instances had the underlying context of Anne's insecurity and lack of social confidence influencing her poor decisions out of fear of damaging the bonds with those close to her).

Anne is also shown to have a particular desire for friends, so much so that she did anything back on Earth to be friends with Sasha and Marcy, as she believed they wouldn't want to be friends with her if she didn't listen to their requests.

Despite her wild nature, she also shows to be caring to her friends and can take a favor, one being as how she was willing to break up Sprig and Maddie because of how anxious and stressed Sprig is.

Sometimes called "Angel of Death", it was also implied that she had done this to her other human friends.

Oftentimes, Anne knows the wrong decisions she makes aren't right, but she isn't willing to admit it unless she was under massive amounts of pressure.

In an episode such as "Contagi-Anne", she learned her mistake when she knew it wasn't the right idea to fake her sickness, as it was likely the reason the rest of the Plantar family became sick due to an extra workload during a storm.

She did attempt to make up for her mistake by taking care of the Plantars in their sick state, but she didn't admit her errors to the family until she believed they were going to die from the "disease" they caught.

Anne is a child of the modern era.

Anne is a pop-culture enthusiast with a love for young-adult romance and adventure movies and TV and also reads manga.

She has sometimes said slang words and internet acronyms such as "Lit", "IRL" "BRB" and used the shrug emoji when she wrote a letter to announce Sprig's breakup.

Whenever she has downtime, she's pretty much always seen on her phone, listening to music, watching shows and films she downloaded and sometimes looking at or showing others pictures of her home.

Anne's obsession with her phone has been implied to be more sentimental in nature - as she is shown to seems to care most for the uses and memories the phone contains.

Anne's true selfless nature comes out when others are in danger.

In these situations, Anne is willing to do seemingly anything to protect others, such as climbing entire mountains, fighting giant monsters and even standing up to entire armies.

A natural athlete, Anne is great at several athletic activities, such as basketball and swimming. Being in shape, and as Humans are naturally stronger than most frogs and frog prey, Anne has proven herself time and time again to be a selfless and heroic defender of her people.

Anne is kindhearted and warm with a romantic heart.

Though her actual romantic relationships haven't been mentioned much, she takes great interest in the romantic lives of her loved ones - going far out of her way to try to make Sprig and Hop Pop confess their feelings to their crushes respectively.

Despite this, she can be downright brutal with her breakups, giving her the title of "Angel of Death" back on Earth.

She's also a practitioner of easy-break ups, advocating Sprig break up with over a letter.

Anne cares about her adoptive family very much and greatly enjoys hanging out with them, especially Sprig and Polly.

Within the first few months of her stay, she started referring to them *as* her family and after the Battle of the Tower, she told them all that they were family to her.

After she became famous, she off-handily told them all that she loved them as she pushed them out of her room.

She is also sometimes naïve, depicted in how she is easily manipulated by her human friends so she's a pushover.

In "Best Fronds", it was implied that she used to have an unhealthy relationship with Sasha, stating that when someone needs something, that said friends give it to him/her.

However, in "Reunion" she stood up to Sasha stating that Sprig was a better friend to her than Sasha as it was seen throughout the series.

Anne comes from a Thai-American family.

She was also shown to be friends with two girls named Sasha and Marcy.

However, in "Best Fronds", it is strongly implied that they were actually taking advantage of her, as she claims that one must do anything a friend wants oneself to do to keep the friendship alive, should one want to do it or not.

After coming to Amphibia some time, she was forced to live in a cave, which was very unpleasant for her, especially at night (as giant creatures tried to eat her).

The cave was a very dark, scary place at the time Anne stayed there for shelter.

In "Reunion" according to Anne, she has been eating "garbage" for quite a few months.

As revealed in a flashback in "Reunion", Anne started off as a slightly conceited girl who nevertheless embraced her ethnic roots.

She was best friends with a girl named Sasha who tended to push her around through peer pressure.

Upon meeting the native Amphibians, Anne was taken aback by their way of living.

It is only when she started living with the Plantars that she began to open up and learn more about herself.

Anne realized that much of what she was brought up on made her somewhat materialistic and she began to accept simpler ways of living (though she still relies on her cell phone and has apparently gotten others addicted to its functions).

There are even parts of herself that she had suppressed that, thanks to Sprig and the rest of the Plantars, she has opened up on such as cooking as seen in "Lily Pad Thai".

Her relationship with Sasha also begins to unravel as it becomes apparent that much of her decisions were more the result of being pressured and pushed around by her and Marcy.

Her perception of friendship is depicted in "Best Fronds" when she states, "If a friend likes a pencil case, you get it for them. If your friend likes your new shoes, you give them to her. And if your friend wants you to steal a crazy music box from a thrift store, even if you really don't want to, you do it, okay?" Through her constant interaction with Sprig, a somewhat simple-minded child, Anne is able to look at friendship in a whole new way.

She begins to desire a more compassionate relationship with those close to her.

By the end of "Reunion", she finally sees through Sasha's manipulative tactics thanks to Sprig who sees Anne for who she is: a kind and considerate person who is willing to protect her friends.

Even after learning what Sasha and Marcy did, she was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, knowing that while they made many mistakes, none of them truly wanted to cause her harm.

Much of Anne's family life at home remains a mystery, but it is implied that she maintains a pretty healthy relationship with her parents despite the fact that she clearly is rebellious even at home. Her family apparently runs a restaurant and therefore knows the ins and outs of running one, ("The font on these menus is way too small; Rookie mistake.").

## Skills & Abilities

* **Resourcefulness**: In the episode "Anne or Beast?", she's able to craft both a rope trap which traps Sprig quite effectively and a wooden spear by herself after getting stuck in Amphibia.
* **Cooking:** In "Lily Pad Thai", she was seen being proficient in culinary-related activities; having a vast knowledge of her own culture's cuisine. It was also stated that her parents owned a Thai restaurant back in her hometown. It can also be stated that she can be a professional waitress as she can persuade customers to eat at Stumpy's restaurant and acquire each customer's needs like delivering food and refilling drinks. She can also cook better than Hop Pop that as he once stated before eating Anne's homemade omelet that he was eating "garbage" all this time, it can also be a callback to how he always loose at the food competition when he submits his own food as an entry.
* **Athleticism:** Anne has been shown to be a natural athlete, claiming to have played varsity and practiced bouldering in school. In "The Big Bugball Game", she quickly becomes the star player of the team and is able to help them win the annual Bugball game.

In "The Third Temple", she is able to resist the gravitational pull better than Marcy and the amphibians as well as swing a warhammer quite easily which she claims weighs around one ton.
* **Hunting:** In "Anne Hunter" Anne put her self-consciousness aside in order to learn the true way of the hunter.
