**Annabelle "Anne" Savisa Boonchuy** is the protagonist of the 2019 Disney Channel animated series, *Amphibia*, and one of the thirty-five main protagonists in the new series, *Amphibiland*. She is a 13-year-old Thai-American girl, who originally resided on Earth until a magical music box transported her to Amphibia. In this new world, Anne befriends a family of anthropomorphic frogs who aid her on a quest to find her missing friends and return home. She represents the sapphire of heart on the Calamity Box and she is a Modern Family leader/member.

## Background

Anne comes from a Thai-American family from Los Angeles, California. She was friends with two girls named Sasha and Marcy. As shown in "Marcy at the Gates" Anne and Marcy appear to have a good friendship as Anne would constantly protect Marcy from dangers, but in "Best Fronds" and later in "Reunion" revealed that her other friend Sasha was really taking advantage of her, as she claims that one must do anything a friend wants one to do to keep the friendship alive, whether one wants to do it or not. One day, on her 13th birthday, her "friend" Sasha convinced her to ditch school, and later forced her to steal a mysterious box from a store. Once Anne opened it, she along with Sasha and Marcy were transported to Amphibia, a world with anthropomorphic frogs and dangerous creatures. For some time, Anne was forced to live in a cave, which was very unpleasant for her, especially at night (as giant creatures tried to eat her). Ever since Anne met Sprig she has gone on one crazy adventure after another and has found a true friend in the silly young frog.

When she eventually does make it back to the human world, she must now protect it from an invasion led by King Andrias and his mysterious master the Core while figuring out her new powers.

After saving Amphibia, she is unaware of being watched by Taurus Bulba, who revealed to be Anne's true arch-nemesis seeing that she is a threat to her plans and tried to end the Cimorelli Fam lifestyle.

### Personality

Anne is described as fearless and self-centered. She also has a rebellious side, as shown in the second segment of the first episode, where she and Sprig defy Hop Pop's orders to stay put and instead go to the lake to swim. Anne is shown to have a zany side; a good example are her interactions with Sprig and anyone else she is really close to. She is also very energetic, which has got her both in and out of trouble. Anne started off as a slightly conceited girl who nevertheless embraced her ethnic roots. Anne is a pop-culture enthusiast with a love for young-adult movies and TV shows. Like most teenagers, Anne is obsessed with her phone, often watching shows and playing games on it. In spite of her recklessness, Anne can often deliver good advice. This is seen in both "Grubhog Day", where she advises Sprig to tell Hop Pop that he doesn't want to take care of the grubhog, and "Cursed!", where she tells Sprig to just break his engagement with Maddie due to his fear of her.

Anne deeply values her friends, feeling lost if she doesn't have one, and is ready to do anything to protect both her friends and her friendships with them. However, this latter trait is a double-edged sword, as it causes her to save her friends in Amphibia even if she knows she may die while doing it. Anne was also manipulated by her "friends" on Earth to get what they wanted, although it was mostly with Sasha. Due to her relationship with Sprig, she has discovered what true friendship is and has continued to develop strong bonds with her new friends in Amphibia. Also, Anne realizes the bad side of her friendship with Sasha through Sprig's encouragement and faith in who she really is. Anne also deeply cares about her parents and her frog family more than anything else as she tries her best to make them happy.

At the beginning of the series, Anne was disgusted at the idea of eating bugs, but as the series progressed, she has come to really enjoy eating them. When she first realizes this in "Toad Tax", she says "I've been here too long," but by "The Big Bugball Game" the fact that she now likes to eat bugs no longer bothers her as she says, "Eh, who am I kidding, I'll eat it." Anne shows a strong dislike of pineapples, especially as a pizza topping, and will threaten anyone who mentions them.

During her time in Amphibia, Anne has grown as a person, such as learning to respect teachers, due to disliking them before, the value of being a team player and most importantly she has learned to stand up against what she knows is wrong, like Sasha's behavior. Anne also stops caring about what others think of her. During her quest to find a way home, Anne looks back at her previous selfish behavior and past misdeeds as she learns to take responsibility for her actions. Overall, Anne has slowly matured as the series progressed and her experiences with her surrogate frog family have turned her into a kindhearted and selfless person that loves helping others, even those who treated her badly. However, Anne has shown to crack under pressure, as shown in the "The First Temple", when Hop Pop kept asking her what he needed to do in order to fix their strain relationship as she tells him that she doesn't know and needs time to sort things out. This was shown again in "Anne-sterminator", when she sees that her mother has high expectations from her and being confronted her about lying as she accused her of still being that same irresponsible little girl that she was before she disappeared to Amphibia then asked her when is she going to grow up, Anne cracks right in front of her parents as she tells them that she doesn't know when she'll be the daughter they want her to be. When Hop Pop and her parents at different times see the pressure they put on her, Anne was given an apology for overwhelming her, and she easily forgives them.

Ever since she realized how much she has been lied to, pushed around, tricked and used by Sasha, Anne doesn't take those characteristic well, as shown in "After the Rain", when she got upset with Hop Pop for lying to her ever since she gave him the Calamity Box to hold onto as she accused him of tricking her into keeping her in Amphibia forever and almost left her frog family for good because of this. However, Anne changed her mind about leaving when she hears that Hop Pop's intentions were protecting those he cares about, then seeing him show deep remorse for betraying and hurting her trust. This was shown again in "True Colors", when Sasha tells Anne that she was just using her and Marcy to gain access to Newtopia for a Toad invasion, which led her to call her out for her actions. Also, in the same episode, Anne was shocked and hurt that Marcy not only tricked her alongside Sasha into stealing the Calamity Box but also for stranding them in Amphibia on purpose. Due to being betrayed, lied, pushed around, used and tricked one too many times, Anne has shown to have some trust issue with Hop Pop, Sasha, Marcy and others who mistreat her. Also, after returning home, Anne wasn't sure about trusting other humans, excluding her parents, as she fears being betrayed, lied, pushed around, tricked and used again.

However, despite her trust issues, Anne still cares about Hop Pop as she doesn't want to hurt him for any reasons and wants to fix things between them, which seems to be back on the right track. Anne also feels the same way about Sasha, as she knows what it's like to make selfish choices and mistakes. In addition, Anne has those same feelings about Marcy as she may have taken her and Sasha away from their lives but does understand that she never meant to put either of them in danger like that. After discovering King Andrias true nature and returning home, Anne's main focus is to not only go back to Amphibia to stop the king's mad plans for dimensional conquest, but also bring Marcy and Sasha home. Anne still trusts her parents, Sprig, Polly, Bessie, Frobo, MicroAngelo, the citizens of Wartwood and Newtopia. Also, overtime, Anne starts trusting other humans beside her parents again, as shown in "Fight at the Museum", when she tells Dr. Jan about her experience in Amphibia with Hop Pop's permission and encouragement. This was shown again in the next episode, when some longtime friends at the Tai Temple helped her and her family fight some smaller robots sent by the Cloak-Bot as they even promise to keep the existences of her frog family a secret, after their disguises were removed during the fight.

Ever since Hop Pop told her what happened to Sprig and Polly's parents and the events of "True Colors", Anne has become protective of both her parents and her frog family as she doesn't want anything to happen to them, as shown in "The New Normal", when she doesn't want to tell her parents that King Andrias is after her, her Calamity Box powers, Sasha's selfish actions and that Marcy was responsible for stranding them in Amphibia. Anne is not only trying to protect both her families, but also fears what her parents would think about the situation. Also, in the same episode, after her mother suggested in having the authorities take the Plantars, Anne said no to that idea as she knows that her frog family will be taken away from her and experiment on as she promises them that she'll keep them safe no matter what.

Although, in "Anne-sterminator", after her parents commented on her maturity and honesty, Anne feels remorse for not telling them everything about her time in Amphibia as she not only decided to tell them truth but also didn't want to lie to them anymore. However, before she could say anything, Anne and both her families were found by the Cloak-Bot. When confronted by her parents for lying to them, Anne apologizes to them as she admits that she did lie but did it to protect them and the Plantars. Although she appreciates their help in defeating the Cloak-Bot once and for all, Anne is still unsure in involving them in further of her interdimensional stuff. However, after her parents helped her and the Plantars escape from Mr. X, Anne realized that she misjudged them and apologizes to them for underestimating them, which they accepted. At the end of the day, Anne is feisty, peppy and quirky yet sensitive and sweet with a love of adventure and a heart of a true hero.

### Physical Appearance

Anne is a tall, slender girl of Thai descent. She has tan skin and short, messy brown hair which, before coming to Amphibia, looked relatively the same. It has leaves and a twig sticking out on top as a sign of her having lived there for so long. After returning to earth, she got rid of all leaves in twigs.

#### Clothing

Anne usually wears her school uniform consisting of a mauve skirt and undershirt and a light blue-gray shirt with her school's coat of arms on it. She wears white socks, but only one yellow-and-white sneaker, having lost the other one some time before meeting the Plantars; the other sneaker is now in the possession of Captain Grime.

As of "Bessie & MicroAngelo", she begins wearing golden armor chest plate with a teal Frog symbol and accents over her usual clothing.

In season 3, she wears a white shirt with pink sleeves and a flame symbol in the middle. She also has blue shorts with a yellow jacket around her waist. She wears purple-and-white sneakers with white socks.

Anne has been seen in many other outfits over the course of the series:

* In "Girl Time", she wears a long green and yellow dress.
* In "Lily Pad Thai", she wears a green traditional Thai outfit.

### Powers and Abilities

#### Powers

* **Calamity Powers:** Anne's eyes glow blue, as first seen in the pilot, hinting that the Calamity Box has given her a power. In "Handy Anne", her eyes glow more promptly and slightly longer. In the season 2 finale, 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 & hair to glow blue, plant life growing out of her hair and her entire body is surrounded by a magical blue aura. In this state, her strength and speed are greatly enhanced, and she can release huge bursts of energy. After she has used her powers, she will collapse from exhaustion. She has yet to gain control over this amazing power.
* **Bird communication (formerly):** After being cursed by Barry and turned into a humanoid raven, Anne gained the ability to communicate with birds. She was able to squawk, albeit involuntary, and could understand what a raven who was with her said. She lost this ability when the curse on her was lifted. This was notably the only power she gained while under her curse.

#### Abilities

* **Culinary Skills:** Anne is very a skilled cook thanks to years of helping her parents in their family restaurant.
* **Athleticism:** In her own words, Anne has "natural athletic ability." This is proven several times in the series as she is shown to be very fast and agile and has been able to learn new sports in a very short amount of time. She was against team sports, but after learning the importance of teamwork, she now really enjoys them.
* **Dancing:** Anne is a very skilled dancer and can teach others to dance, like Hop Pop in "Hop Pop and Lock".
* **Swordsmanship:** Thanks to Tritonio Espada's training she received in "Combat Camp", Anne can wield a sword in battle with great proficiency.
* **Hunting:** Anne was reluctant to use the Plantars' unorthodox hunting techniques at first, but she has used them to save her surrogate frog family from danger.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combat:** In "Ivy on the Run" Anne reveals that she has been training in the art of Muay Thai since a very young age.
* **Bilingualism:** Anne is shown to be able to understand both English and Thai, as her mother once spoke to her in it, and she knew exactly what her mother was saying.

#### Weapons

* **Tennis Racket:** Her tennis racket was transported to Amphibia with her, and she has used it to defend herself and attack enemies with it on more than one occasion.
* **Swords:** Anne has been seen using a sword to fight throughout the series.

## Trivia

* Anne is the first Thai-American protagonist in an animated series in history.
* Anne is shown to be highly addicted to her phone, with Polly noting she never goes anywhere without her phone in "A Night at the Inn". She is more grateful to Wally for saving her phone than her life in "Wally and Anne". A brief comment of hers in "Taking Charge" suggests this addiction is due to her phone being the only link to her life back home.
	+ On a related note, it is strongly implied that Anne is very responsible with the use of her phone, since she spent days in Amphibia with her phone still at full charge until Hop Pop drained it all in the episode "Taking Charge".
* Anne's blue gem powered form is visually similar to the Super Saiyan Blue form present in the *Dragon Ball* franchise. However, the form being triggered by anger makes her blue-powered form more similar to the original Super Saiyan form.
* She attends Saint James Middle School, which seems to be a parochial school. Concept art for the character showed her wearing a Catholic school-style vest. However, the episode "Temple Frogs" reveals Anne and her family to be Buddhists.
* It is strongly implied in "Family Fishing Trip" that Anne likes to eat crab, as she says that the giant crab monster both scares her and makes her hungry. She later asks if anyone would like to go and kill the crab monsters, arguing that "that thing probably had a ton of meat."
* Strangely enough, despite showing that she can get clean and has worn clean clothing and combed or slicked her hair on more than one occasion, her hair always seems to revert back to having leaves and sticks in it as if she has been dragged through the woods. According to Matt Braly, this is done on purpose in order to reflect the fact that "[Anne] is out of her depth and a bit disoriented [in Amphibia]". Anne finally noticed this in the episode "The Sleepover to End All Sleepovers".
	+ In the *Amphibiland* pilot short, Anne is depicted with both of her shoes intact.
* Anne was originally envisioned as being boring on Earth before being reinvented by the crew. Her personality was loosely based on Pacifica Northwest from *Gravity Falls* and Matt Braly's grandmother when she was a younger.
* Matt Braly revealed on an AMA that Anne's design was slightly influenced by Pepper Ann, as Braly was a fan of the series.
* Anne's last name "Boonchuy" roughly translates to "one who encourages or performs good deeds." This fits her character as she attempts to help the people of Amphibia.
* Anne has shown a number of interesting talents over the course of the series such as cooking, dancing, dunking, and sewing. It is implied that she learned some of these skills either through her family or her friends.
* Some of Anne's quips such as her saying "Obvi", which is short for "Obviously", most likely came from Sasha, showing the influence that she has had on her.
* In "Reunion", it is revealed that Anne used to hate frogs to the point that Sasha would make fun of her for it and try to gross her out.
* According to Matt Braly, Anne reads manga, "[probably saw] anime", and watched *The Lord of the Rings*. This is further supported in the episode "Trip to the Archives", where Anne shouts "Zoobooks and manga, here I come!".
* As seen in "Quarreler's Pass", Anne apparently does not like to talk about her potential romantic life at home.
* Anne and her friends were originally supposed to be 15 years old.
* In *Amphibia*, she is a main character introduced in Season 1, and in *Amphibiland*, she is part of the Modern Family.
