**Anna** was a fallen angel who became the human daughter of Richard and Kate Milton by removing her grace. Due to her slowly reawakened ability to hear angels speaking, she was pursued by demons and angels alike. John and Jacob protected her until she managed to regain her grace and fend off her pursuers herself, even briefly becoming lovers with Jacob. Due to Mabrius' betrayal, the Host of Heaven eventually captured Anna and took her back to Heaven. She returned to Earth with the intent to prevent The Apocalypse from having occurred by killing Harrison and his wife to retroactively erase John and Jacob Smith from existence. She was then killed again by Joshua to protect the Smiths.

## History

### Background

Created by God before the creation of the human race, Anna served as Mabrius and Uriel's superior. Anna was particularly close to Mabrius, who noted that they had "been through much together." Anna never met, saw, or heard from God, but initially followed what she believed to be his orders out of pure faith and fruitlessly awaited his return to Heaven.

Anna observed humans and became loving of them for their emotions particularly loyalty, forgiveness and love, coming to believe that her own kind were emotionless and without any will of their own in comparison. She also became fond of the idea of chocolate cake. Wanting to experience life as a human herself, she removed her grace in March 1985 through an agonizing process she compared to cutting out one's own kidneys using a butter knife. Anna and her grace fell separately to Earth at high speeds; to onlooking humans, they resembled meteorites.

Anna was reborn as the human daughter of infertile couple Richard and Kate Milton in northwestern Ohio in December 1985 with the new name Anna Milton. Because Kate had not been able to get pregnant before conceiving Anna, she called Anna her "little miracle." When Anna was a toddler, she panicked in Richard's presence because she believed that her "real" father would kill her for her disobedience. Her outbursts were such that the Miltons took her to a child psychologist for therapy. Anna gradually repressed her memories of her origins, and convinced herself that she was a normal human. As a young woman, she attended college as a journalism major.

On September 18, 2008, the day Mabrius resurrected Jacob Smith from Hell, Anna heard an angel say "Jacob Smith is saved" inside her head. After that, she started to hear other angels talking. They talked so often about Jacob and John Smith that Anna felt as though she personally knew the Smith brothers; she learned that some believed that Jacob could save them while some "didn't like" John at all. Anna became hysterical when trying to warn people about the oncoming Apocalypse and had to be subdued by four men. She was subsequently committed to the Connor Beverly Behavioral Medicine Center with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. She drew pictures of the seals Almos broke and scribbled messages pertaining to them in a sketchbook.

## Appearance

Anna's true form was composed of bright light that blinded and could even kill humans upon direct eye contact; she also had wings, as seen when right before she vanished after regaining her grace. Her human body was that of a pale-skinned young woman who was 5'6" with long red hair, wide hazel eyes, and small moles on her cheeks. Her hair was very dark, vivid shade of red which had lightened to auburn later on. Anna wore a pair of white and blue scrubs at the Medical Center. Once she escaped the mental institution, she began wearing a frilly button-down white shirt and jeans with a green jacket, the last of which she later swapped out in favor of a navy coat that went down to mid-thigh. Her body was destroyed by her grace, but she had it restored by calling in "favors" from an unknown entity and used it as her earthly vessel until her death.

## Personality

Anna was earnest, compassionate, and trusting to a fault: despite the horror she felt at Ruby's true face, she accepted that Ruby was indeed different from other demons and treated her in a friendly manner after she saved Anna's life, and repeatedly tried to protect and guide Mabrius despite the fact that he had orders to kill her, because she did not believe he would even try. She held a bitter grudge against anyone who broke that trust or otherwise hurt her, though she would still willing to help that person. Anna was initially timid, distressed, and uncertain when the brothers met her, but became more authoritative and reserved upon regaining her memories and even more so when she regained her grace. She was extremely dedicated to any cause she pledged herself to, as Mabrius noted that the only way of stopping her would be killing her. Like Gabriel, she enjoyed physical interaction and sweets.

Anna was dissatisfied with her existence as an angel. She disliked the strict rules governing her, and also admitted to not understanding God. While at first she longed to return to Heaven during her station on Earth, she grew hungry for humanity and risked the wrath of her family by falling for the sake of her own happiness; this shows that Anna had a certain recklessness and selfishness. She feared punishment for her disobedience to such a degree that she had to go to a psychiatrist as a child, but once she repressed her true identity, she became happy and well-adjusted with many friends and a promising future.

## Powers and Abilities

Anna was implied to have been a powerful angel when at full strength due to her having once been the superior of Mabrius and Uriel, who were both formidable in their own right. When Jacob challenged them to go after her, he implied that they were too frightened by her to do so. Whereas Mabrius was unable to smite Alastair, Anna's power was such that she destroyed the demon's vessel and sent him back to Hell as a mere side-effect of regaining her grace. Like all higher ranking angels, Anna retained all of her powers even when cut-off from Heaven.
