Anna/Relationships

## Family

### Anna's father

Anna has no attachment to him, who neglected her after her mother died. This relationship was strained further when he sold her to be executed, even after she saved his life.

After being saved by Roland, she seems to have severed all connections with her father. However, she gives part of her salary to him monthly.

### Roland Wimbledon

When Anna first met Roland, he has had a profound effect on Anna's life. Besides Nightingale, she is the most loyal witch towards Roland and possesses a very deep love for him due to his kindness towards her and other witches. Anna readily absorbs the modern knowledge Roland has, becoming one of the smartest people alongside Roland, Tilly and Kyle.

After the second Months of Demons, Roland proposes to her and they consummate their relationship as of Chapter 478. Anna is happy that her infertile nature as a witch had long since been dismissed by Roland, who did not concern himself over having a blood heir. Anna often acts as the voice of reason when Roland wants to keep going through the day; reminding him that they both have important jobs. Their romantic nights cause Anna embarrassment if someone learns of them, such as in Chapter 531, when they spend their day together and a maid brings them their meal.

Anna is a little possessive of Roland, especially after they discuss about Nightingale's feelings for Roland. Anna reveals she doesn't intend to share Roland with anyone. She also makes Roland promise to tell everything that happens in Dream World after she learns that Taquila witches can also enter it. She was quite jealous of Scroll, as she was the only witch to enter dream world after evolving into a transcendant. They wed in chapter 1030, three years after their first meeting.

### Tilly Wimbledon

Anna's sister-in-law. They two get along almost immediately well due Anna's wealth of knowledge (courtesy of Roland's modern memories) and Tilly's own magically-enhanced intelligence. Anna learned (the old) Roland once declared he would marry a witch from a story Tilly told; it warmed her heart to know Roland loved her for being a witch too. She managed to surprise Tilly by letting her know Roland still intended to do so; subtly telling Tilly that they were sweethearts.

Anna rarely interacts with Tilly, due to the Witch Union and Sleeping Spell being separate organizations; though they both share a love of books and a thirst for new knowledge. After Ashes' death, she keeps Tilly company until she recovers.

## Witch Union

Anna is a highly valued member of the Witch Union. Several people have noted that all members feel at ease around her and that despite normally being quiet, she is actually very popular. She helps the younger witches understand their lessons to better educate them and help evolve their powers. Anna is often asked to help out when they are stuck with a problem assigned by Scroll. Anna is very motherly to the younger witches. During dinners and afternoon barbecues, Anna uses her flames to roast meat for her fellow witches.

Anna came to share the belief of seeing her fellow Union members as sisters no matter their ability. Because of her ascension to queen of Graycastle, Anna briefly had to deal adapting to the somewhat stiff and formal way of being addressed by them when in public.

### Nightingale

   Anna rarely interacts with Nightingale (as Nightingale tends to stay silent and observe everyone when the Witch Union is together), but the two are close. Unlike the rest of the Witch Union, Nightingale doesn't bother Anna for help with lessons she doesn't understand, preferring not to stress her brain on complicated subjects; in this way they are opposites, as while Anna seeks more information, Nightingale is fine with simplistic knowledge. Anna even helped Nightingale understand why Roland had bras created, helping her understand how to wear one.

Anna mostly talks to her over important personal issues or during calamities. After Roland confirmed that he had equal feelings for Nightingale, Anna forms a mutual bond with her, over their shared love of Roland, and to alleviate some of his fears about hurting their feelings by choosing one of them.

### Nana Pine

   Both a fellow Witch Union member and fellow student to Karl, Anna is looked up to by Nana as an older sister figure. When the Witch Union gathers, Nana is typically never too far from Anna, showing how close they are.

They first reunite after Anna's death was faked and Nana had awakened as a witch. Anna was happy to see Nana again, with the little girl excited to see her friend was alive. Anna helped Nana grow comfortable with being around Roland, who promised to keep both of them safe from the Church.

### Lucia White

A fellow Witch Union member who helps Anna with industrial construction. Anna is able to smelt better parts thanks to Lucia breaking down metal into purer material. She later helps Anna at the High Energy Lab by purifying Uranium. Anna is encouraging to Lucia, who occasionally doubts the usefulness of her magic.

### Agatha

Anna has little interaction with Agatha, but was initially on more immediate amicable grounds with her than Roland due to being a witch. The two conduct experiments involving demons, magic and stones, due to needing witch blood to alter the stones; if not for Anna's intervention, Agatha could have accidentally bled herself to unconsciousness or even death.

## City of Neverwinter

Anna is very much beloved by the people of Neverwinter for her contributions to Roland's plans to help advance their technology and better their lives. Not to mention her slaying the demonic beast hybrid during the first Month of Demons after Roland saved her. As queen, she is respected, with her integrity never questioned; as a common-born woman, Anna has the perspective of the people on her mind. Despite being queen, Anna allows Roland to handle the tasks associated with the crown; instead she works on the same level as her fellow ministers.

### Karl van Bate

While teaching his 30+ students, Anna caught the attention of her teacher, who left a deep impression as someone who is deeply engrossed in studying new information or new topics, unlike his other students. To Karl, Anna was a very kind girl who had nothing to do with evil. When she was first "hanged", Karl for the first time in his life, doubted his own and the church's teachings. Fortunately for him, Anna was shown to be alive. They later work together as part of Neverwinter's city council, with Karl as Minister of Construction and her as Minister of Industry.
