## History

### Past

Anne was born in 2006 to a Thai couple who immigrated to the United States from Bangkok, Thailand. Which her parents operated their restaurnat Thai Go. Growing up, Anne had a complicated relationship with her mother due to her lazy nature and loud tendencies, but they still loved each other and at one point when she was little, Anne went on a trip to Thailand with her mom. Anne also went to a Thai school to study the language, but only learned enough to barely put a sentence of Thai together.

When she was in kindergarten, she and her friend Marcy Wu befriended Sasha Waybright after she (relatively) protected them from some bullies and since, they grew up together. Anne was a lazy student while attending school, preferring to slack off rather than study and would often go to the mail to intercept her report card to keep her mom and dad from finding out about her bad grades. Over time, her friendship with Sasha became toxic as one time Sasha encouraged Anne and Marcy to have a dance party on their school's roof and blow off a rehearsal for a medieval school play and when they were caught, Anne took the blame and said she was the mastermind and her mother and father penalized her for a month. She was bullied and picked on by a girl named Maggie for her family's customs, but Sasha would stick up for Anne and thus, Anne had to rely on Sasha for protection, even when Sasha made fun of Anne's Thai heritage as well.

On her 13th birthday, Sasha convinced Anne to ditch school and have fun at an arcade. When Anne tried to leave in order to go to celebrate her birthday back home, Sasha strongarms her to blow it off and rob a music box from a thrift store. That night, when Anne, Sasha and Marcy are at the park, Anne opens the music box and they are suddenly transported away to Amphibia, a world with anthropomorphic frogs and dangerous creatures. Anne arrives in Amphibia in the forest near Wartwood Swamp where she stayed for a month and was forced to live in a cave, which was very unpleasant for her, especially at night (as giant creatures tried to eat her).

### Season 1

One night, Anne spotted a resident of Wartwood, Wally Ribbiton, wandering alone and approached him for assistance, but the frog ran away in panic being unfamiliar of humans. The next day, Anne wound up meeting another resident, Sprig Plantar, after saving him from a giant mantis. Anne was then introduced to the residents of Wartwood and was taken in by the Plantar family, which included Sprig's sister, Polly, and their grandfather Hop Pop. After moving into the Plantar Farm, Anne initially struggles with the local Amphibians' culture, and dealing with Amphibia's unfamiliar climate proves challenging as it is vastly different from Earth.

Over time, she slowly adapts to her new setting through bonding with the Plantars. Throughout Anne's stay in Wartwood, Anne starts to see friendship and relationships in a whole new light thanks to her frequent engagement with Sprig. She starts to yearn for a more caring relationship with everyone she cares for, while also discovering more about herself she never thought of before.

As Anne stays in the small town more and more, she becomes more accepted and even loved by the townspeople, and Anne herself becomes better integrated into the town. Making herself at home with the Plantars, Anne helps out with the farm, sells their goods, shops at local stores, works at Stumpy's Diner for a short period to assist cooking for the frogs, saves townsfolk from various monsters, and even becomes a symbol of town pride briefly. Her personal growth and goodwill toward Wartwood finally culminates on the night of the town's annual Frog of the Year, where the citizens vote Anne as the winner. Anne celebrates with everyone in the special occasion, until Toadie approaches Anne that "a friend" is waiting outside of town for her. Anne approaches the bridge, where a hooded figure is waiting—and reveals herself as Sasha. The two girls are overjoyed to see the other safe, but, to Anne's shock, Sasha has affiliated herself with Captain Grime and the toad army.

Sasha offers the frogs to a banquet honoring Anne and Sasha's reunited alliance. While astonished and suspicious of Sasha's new allies, Anne approves the invitation, and together with the frogs of Wartwood, they travel to Toad Tower. As the frogs attend the banquet, Anne and Sasha hang out in Sasha's room. Sasha explains to Anne that the banquet was a trap to get Hop Pop to the tower to be fed to a giant Venus flytrap for inspiring rebellions in the valley as a result of his failed campaign. Anne leaves the room to save the frogs. Anne disguises herself as Sasha and entering the banquet, and leads the frogs through the underground sewage to try and find the exit. Eventually, Anne finds an exit to the sewers, only to be confronted by Sasha and the toad soldiers.

As Hop Pop is led to be executed, Anne implores Sasha to free them, but she tries to silence Anne again, as she did on Earth. An enraged Sprig, who knows Anne as a truly kind and considerate girl, throws mud at Sasha, calls her a bully, and helps Anne. Sasha is enraged by Sprig's defiance and attempts to kill him, but Anne intervenes, finally standing up to her. Grime then steps in, offering to release the frogs if Anne can beat Sasha in a duel. Anne beats Sasha by jabbing her blade into hers, knocking her down and forcing her to lose her sword and dagger, causing Sasha's face to be cut. Anne stands over Sasha and declares that she will no longer allow Sasha to push her around. However, Grime does not hold his promise and goes out of his way to kill Hop Pop. At that moment, Toad Tower erupts from Wally's boomshrooms. Toad Tower begins to crumble before Grime can kill Hop Pop. Anne precariously manages to catch Sasha from a crumbling ledge, but out of shame over the way she treated her and to save Anne, Sasha lets herself fall, forcing Captain Grime to escape with an unconscious Sasha. The Plantars apologize to Anne over losing Sasha as a friend when they return to Wartwood, but Anne assures them it's okay because she considers them her family and that as long as they stick together, they'll get through everything.

### Season 2

Anne and Plantar family eventually stop at a town where its citizens marvel at Anne's appearance. This leads them to an oddities wax museum, where they meet the Curator who shows off the various wax statues he has on display.

When Anne comes across a portable CD player that came from her world, she allows herself to be put on display for a day so she can obtain it. She goes back later that night to prepare, but the Curator traps her and attempts to permanently encase her in wax. When the Plantars discover Anne missing, they go back to the oddities museum and try to free her.

They find out that the wax "statues" are actually live creatures where they free them and save Anne. The creatures drag the Curator into a room as red wax spills under the door. Sprig is able to get the CD player and the family makes their final push to Newtopia.

## Abilities

### Former Powers

* **Blue Gem Powers:** After Anne was transported to Amphibia through the Calamity Box, Anne seems to have gained the power of the blue gem. It's first hinted in the pilot when Anne's eyes glow blue. Given the blue gem represents Heart, Anne's powers react to her emotions. This happened when she protected Sprig, risking her safety for a stranger, she utilized a lot more strength than she normally could, and again in "Handy Anne" because seeing the Plantar's house she promised to take care of was destroyed for a few moments she had a boost is speed, agility, combat prowess and courage, even to the point of yelling at Veggierobo. While the blue gem was recharging, Anne left and took the gem before it was fully charged when she heard her friends screaming thinking they were in danger, and following the events of "True Colors", Anne retained her powers of the blue gem. When King Andrias dropped Sprig to spite her, the grief caused by thinking her best friend Sprig had fallen to his doom allowed her to draw on the power within the Calamity Box causing both her eyes and hair to glow neon blue, twigs and branches left in her hair becoming permanent wooden horns, and having leaves flow around in her hair and around her. Anne's powers enhance her physical abilities, gaining strength, speed, and agility. In "The New Normal", Anne's powers take a toll on her after using them, given that she couldn't seem to control her powers, Anne was left greatly exhausted, and claims to feel "bad" after using them. Despite the loss of stamina after using them, Anne seemed to get better control of her abilities after each use as Anne could only manifest them as blue energy around her eyes and fists and damage part of the Cloak-Bot, while in "Anne-sterminator", she manifested them as a flaring blue aura of intense energy and kicked the damaged Cloak-Bot into low orbit before it self-destructed. Anne displayed some degree control of her powers as seen in "Escape to Amphibia" as she is able to activate them at will and with no sign of fatigue after using them. When not using her full power, her hair will take on a darker shade, jagged and inconsistently flowing style. Moreover, she released energy with greater intensity than the last two times she used them since her first return to Earth.
	+ **Enhanced Strength:** Anne's exerts far greater strength to deliver more powerful strikes. She is able to land a punch on King Andrias, a new who is three times her size, destroy his Frobots, and break through Andrias' energy shield. She is also able to greaty damage Cloak-Bot, and than when she fought it again she kicked it so hard that send it into orbit before it self-destructed.
	+ **Teleportation/Flight/Enhanced Speed:** Anne can move so fast than the eye could that it looks like she teleported as she can vanish and reappear within seconds when battling King Andrias in his castle along with being able to move rapidly while mid-air. Anne quickly dodged two Frobots' lasers that ended up destroying each other in the process.
	+ **Enhanced Agility:** During her fight with Andrias' Frobots, Anne effortlessly dodged all of their lasers while in mid-air.
	+ **Energy Manipulation:** Anne can generate multiple blasts of intense blue energy powerful enough to make Andrias' Frobots and castle pillars explode when hit. She can also create a blue aura that seems to act as a propulsion boost for her agility.
		- **Energy Infusion:** Using her raw power, Anne can power machines as she is able to strengthen and increase of the size of the portal to Amphibia. Ally and Jess describe Anne as being a human battery.
