* Manga

The **Forger Family** (フォージャー家, *Fōjā-ke*?) is a family in Ostania that Agent "Twilight" was tasked to make for Operation Strix.

## Members

The family consists of:

* **Loid Forger**: The adoptive father of Anya, who works as a psychiatrist at Berlint General Hospital, while he secretly works as a spy for WISE.
* **Yor Forger**: The mother of the family. She works as a civil servant at Berlint City Hall while moonlighting for an unknown assassin organization known as Garden by the code name "**Thorn Princess**." Yor thinks Anya is Loid's biological daughter.
* **Anya Forger**: The adopted daughter of Loid and Yor Forger. She was a research experiment used by a certain organization and gained the ability to read minds. After escaping their facility, Anya moved from orphanages multiple times until she met Loid, who adopted her.
* **Bond Forger**: The pet of the family. Similar to Anya, he was used as a military research test subject by the Ostanian government. After the research project was shut down, Bond found his way into the black market, where he was sold to be a bomb dog. From there, he would eventually meet Anya due to his precognition ability given to him by the experiments.

## History

### Loid and Anya

Master spy Twilight's new mission ordered him to procure a wife and a child to infiltrate Eden Academy. Thus, he began to start a life in Berlint, Ostania, with a different name: Loid Forger. He went to a shady orphanage to look for a child capable of reading and writing. He is introduced to Anya, who impresses him by solving a crossword puzzle all by herself. Impressed by her intellect, he chooses to adopt her. Unbeknownst to him, Anya is a telepath who had read his mind for the answers so he would adopt her. While on a shopping trip, he notices that Anya may not be that smart and considers replacing her. However, she starts to cry and causes a scene, panicking Loid, and he buys her peanuts to calm her down. On their way home, Anya gets tired and asks Loid to carry her. Rattled by her irrational behavior, he borrows books on child-rearing to try and understand her. He decides that after his mission is complete, he will send Anya back to the orphanage, saying there is no future for them.

The next day, Loid struggles to get Anya to study. Frustrated, he decides to head out without her, but Anya attempts to follow him until he barricades her inside their home. When Loid returns, he discovers an ambush and that Anya has been kidnapped. While initially considering moving on and replacing Anya, Loid rescues her and remembers his reason for being a spy. He decides that he will not be involving kids in his mission and tries sending Anya to a better orphanage, but chooses not to when she begs to stay with him. After Anya passes Eden's written exam, Loid is genuinely happy and relaxed for the first time in years. However, the two soon learn that in order to attend the interview for the second phase of the enrollment, the applicant requires both the father *and* mother.

### Yor Briar

Yor, a city hall clerk who is secretly an assassin working for Garden, meets Anya and Loid at a tailor shop when she goes to get her dress mended. Both she and Loid think of asking the other to be their fake partners to fulfill their respective goals but have reasons not to. Anya reads their minds and complains about not having a mother, prompting Yor to ask Loid about it. After Loid explains his "widowed" status, Yor asks him to attend a party with her as a pretend boyfriend. Loid agrees on the condition that she act as Anya's mother at the school interview, and the two arrange to meet up on the day of the party.

However, an urgent mission causes Loid to accidentally stand Yor up, and she goes to the party alone. Loid arrives just as Yor is about to leave and accidentally introduces himself as her husband to her co-workers. When Loid is informed of Yor's suspicious work history, he praises Yor's dedication to work for the sake of someone or something else, which moves her. After leaving the party, Loid apologizes for his slip-up. Suddenly, they are chased by pursuers from Loid's previous mission. As they fight the men off, Yor proposes to Loid, reasoning that it would be a beneficial cover for the both of them. Loid agrees, and the two get married. Afterward, Loid helps Yor move into the Forger home and backdates their marriage by a year, and Anya is happy to meet her new mother. Thus, Yor Briar officially became Yor Forger.

### Bond

When Anya earns her first Stella Star, she requests a dog as her reward. Thus, the Forgers go on an outing to find a dog for Anya. While looking around an adoption center, Anya notices a large white dog with a vision of the Forgers, drawing the little girl's attention. Anya decides to follow the dog without Yor noticing but gets captured by some terrorists who try to kill her. After the dog defends Anya and helps her escape, Anya discovers that he has powers like her, as he is able to have visions of the future. After Yor saves Anya from the terrorists, Anya sees the dog having another vision and reads his mind. She foresees a terrible future and Loid's death at the clock tower, so she runs away on the canine's back to save him.

After covertly saving the future and Loid's life, Anya and the dog return to the pet shop and reunite with Loid and Yor. After Loid thanks the dog for protecting Anya, Sylvia Sherwood and another WISE agent arrive as SSS agents to take the dog into their custody. Anya remembers the vision she saw with her family and refuses the idea, threatening to quit school if she cannot have the dog. Sylvia accepts and tells the family that the dog will be delivered to their house the next day. The next day, the dog arrives at the Forger residence but is hesitant after remembering his past abuse as a military research experiment. In the end, he joins them, and the family welcomes him with a smile. The day after, the dog returns Anya's gloves to her when the family goes to a dog park. This act reminds Anya of a scene from her favorite show and its protagonist Bondman, so she officially names their dog Bond, thus completing the current Forger family.

## Trivia

* Despite the family attempting to appear normal, each of the Forgers stands out for having abnormal or supernatural abilities.
* The surname **Forger** (フォージャー, *Fōjā*?) means "a person who falsifies or makes an illegal copy of something."
	+ This surname highly represents the fake family role they are playing, as each of the family members tries their best to appear as a normal family while hiding their true identities from one another.
	+ The surname is also a reference to the verb "forge," which means "to form or produce something." This is representative of the fake Forger family turning, being *forged*, into a real family over time.
