Anna Borealis

Princess Anna Borealis of Arendelle is a character from Disney's Frozen who was a part of Dangan Roleplay's Round 2, bearing the title of Super High School Level Little Sister. She also participated in the Mock Trial prior to the round, and she is slated to make a third appearance in the spin-off game Disney Ronpa alongside her sister, Elsa Borealis.

She is played by Aren.

Childhood
Princess Anna Borealis of Arendelle was born to King Agdar and Queen Idun on the summer solstice of 1822; as a child, she and her older sister Elsa Borealis enjoyed a relatively simple life as young princesses, determined to go against the grain together and rebel against the expectations of royalty of the day. ("We Know Better") Elsa was born with ice powers, and she would often use her magic to indulge her sister in creating beautiful winter wonderlands inside the castle for their own enjoyment.

One day, while the young princesses were playing in the snow, Elsa accidentally struck Anna in the head with her ice magic, causing Anna to faint and leaving her with a stark-white streak in her bright red hair. Fortunately, her parents were able to find a book in the royal library directing them to the Valley of the Living Rock, which a family of trolls with magical abilities had made into their home generations prior. Grand Pabbie, the elder troll, healed Anna, but in the process removed all traces of magic from her body, including her memories of Elsa's powers. Pabbie warned Elsa that though her magic can be a beautiful gift, it can be dangerous without control; King Agdar took this advice to heart and decided to isolate the two sisters from each other and from the rest of the kingdom.

Anna, with no memories of the incident, had no idea why her sister has suddenly decided to shut her out. She tried everything she can to get her sister to come outside of her room and spend time with her, but every time, she was turned away; ever persistent, though, Anna constantly attempted to reconnect with her sister over the course of ten whole years. ("Do You Want to Build a Snowman?") During this time, she was forbidden from going beyond the castle walls, and as a result, she became incredibly sheltered from the outside world, doing whatever she can to keep herself entertained within the boundaries of her castle. Without any companionship, she began to become terribly lonely, believing that her sister despises her; though she continued to try to connect with Elsa, she began to fantasize of finding true love and escaping from her isolation. At the same time, she began to develop what would become an inferiority complex, looking down on herself and her lack of talent, but frequently trying to find new ways to power through it. ("More Than Just The Spare") However, when Anna was fifteen years old, her parents were killed in a shipwreck, which left her devastated. Following this, she tried once more to connect with Elsa, now her only remaining family, so that they could mourn together and support each other through the tragedy; however, Elsa remained locked away in her room even during their parents funeral, and the two of them were left to move on and cope with the deaths of their parents alone.

The Coronation
Three years later, Elsa has finally come of age and the day has finally come for her to be crowned the new Queen of Arendelle. Anna is thrilled to finally see the castle gates open for the first time in almost a decade and a half, seeing is as her opportunity to finally meet new people and have fun for the first time in forever. ("For The First Time In Forever") She also sees it as an opportunity to finally find true love and hopefully, with it, the freedom that she's desired for years. When the gates of the castle finally open, she is hit by the horse of Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, whom she forms an instant connection with. Their meeting is cut short by the bells of Elsa's coronation, and the ceremony goes off without a hitch.

At the ball following the ceremony, Anna and Elsa share their first conversation in quite some time, and the two of them laugh and bond over the food and atmosphere; Anna, thrilled to see her sister so happy for the first time in quite some time, expresses her desire for things to be like this all the time. Elsa immediately shuts her down, prompting Anna to excuse herself on the verge of tears before meeting Hans once again, who offers her a dance. The waltz soon turns into a date around the entire castle, and the two of them spend the evening bonding over their interests and their relationships with their siblings. Anna falls in love with Hans, finally believing she has found someone she can connect with, and the two of them sing a duet about their newfound love for one another ("Love is an Open Door"); at the end of the song, Hans proposes to Anna, and she immediately agrees.

Anna returns to the ball to ask for Elsa's blessing, and she promptly denies it, telling Anna she can't marry a man she just met. The sisters argue, which prompts Elsa to create massive ice spikes with her magic, revealing her powers to the entire kingdom in the process. Elsa flees to the North Mountain, freezing over the entire fjord around Arendelle and cursing the kingdom to an eternal winter in the process, leaving everyone who attended the ball unable to leave. Anna goes after her on horseback, leaving Hans in charge of the kingdom until she returns.

Searching for Elsa
Anna falls off her horse while searching for her sister (which is where her memories at the start of DRRP Round 2 end) and stumbles upon Wandering Oaken's Trading Post, where she is able to obtain a winter outfit and supplies. There, she meets Kristoff Bjorgman, an ice trader, who tells her that the massive snowfall is coming from the North Mountain. He is unable to pay for a rope, a pickaxe, and carrots (for his reindeer Sven), and is immediately removed from the store (and sauna); Anna buys him the supplies he needs, in exchange for a ride to the top of the mountain, which Kristoff reluctantly accepts. The two of them have a discussion over Anna's decision to marry Hans, but are chased by wolves midway through. In a moment of resourcefulness, Anna uses Kristoff's lute to smack away a wolf, and when Kristoff is attacked by a pack of them, she uses a torch to light a blanket on fire, which she throws at the wolves; this causes the wolves to back off long enough for Anna to pull Kristoff back up. They jump over a cliff, but their sled doesn't make it with them over the crevasse; Anna offers to pay for the damages and go the rest of the way on foot alone. Kristoff, who realizes that he won't get a new sled if she dies in the mountains, decides to accompany her with Sven.

The two of them enter a beautiful forest covered in ice and snow, where they meet Olaf, a snowman who suspiciously resembles one that Anna and Elsa built as children; he explains that Elsa brought him to life, and that he knows where she is atop the mountain. He offers to lead the group to Elsa once they state their desire to bring back summer, as he's always had a dream of experiencing the summer, the sun, and all things hot. ("In Summer") Anna attempts to climb a rock wall up the mountain, and ultimately fails miserably; thankfully, Olaf is able to find a staircase leading to the front of Elsa's ice palace, and Anna enters alone, finding Elsa in a new gown made entirely of ice. While Elsa is happy to see Anna again, she is still afraid of hurting her sister just as she did many years ago, and orders her to leave. However, Anna assures Elsa that there's no reason to be afraid, and that the two of them can start over and be as close as they were as kids again. ("For The First Time in Forever Reprise") She also tells Elsa of the curse over Arendelle, which prompts Elsa to panic and strike Anna with her magic again, this time through the heart. Anna continues to persist, telling Elsa that she isn't leaving without her; Elsa, in response, creates a snow goliath named Marshmallow to throw her out of the castle; after Anna throws a snowball at the massive snowman, it chases the group down the mountain and warns them not to return.

Frozen Hearts
Anna, who had jumped down to the foot of the mountain, is at a loss how to proceed; Kristoff notices Anna's hair begin to turn white, and realizes that it's from Elsa striking her in the heart. Thankfully, he believes there is a solution, and he takes the group to the Valley of the Living Rock, where it is revealed that he is the adoptive son of the family of trolls. Kristoff's mother, Bulda, immediately assumes the two are romantically involved, and the family decide that now, while Anna is slowly freezing from the inside out, is the perfect time to sing a musical number telling them that the two of them are perfect for each other. ("Fixer Upper") The song is cut short when Anna is overcome with sudden weakness; Grand Pabbie, upon looking at her, tells Anna that she is in grave danger and that only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart. Anna realizes that Hans can save her through true love's kiss, and the group sets off back to Arendelle.

Back in Arendelle, Hans, who has recently returned from a successful expedition to capture Elsa, is met with a frantic Anna, who begs him to kiss her. As they are about to kiss, though, Hans states his true villainous intentions; Hans had been wooing Anna since their first meeting to cement his position on the throne in Arendelle. His original intentions were to marry Anna and stage an "accident" to kill Elsa, making him the new King; however, with Anna about to die, and Elsa viewed as a monster by the people of Arendelle, the kingdom is now in his hands. Anna attempts to stop him, but is far too weak to do anything; Hans locks her in the room and leaves her to die, but she is saved by Olaf, who breaks in and lights a fire to save Anna at the risk of melting.

Olaf plans to find another act of true love to save Anna, but the young princess, in despair, believes she never had any idea what true love was to begin with. Olaf explains to her that true love is putting someone else's needs before one's own, using Kristoff as an example, as he ignored his feelings towards Anna for her happiness, as he also believed Hans was her true love. Anna realizes that Kristoff is the person she needs to share true love's kiss with, and tries to escape the castle, which is now beginning to freeze over due to Elsa's powers intensifying.

Act of True Love
Kristoff and Sven see the blizzard begin to increase in intensity over Arendelle and begin to rush back over the fjord, fearing for Anna's safety. Anna intends to meet up with Kristoff, slowly crossing the fjord herself as she begins to freeze completely. Elsa, who is also crossing the fjord in an attempt to escape, encounters Hans (who intends to kill Elsa to put an end to the winter) and tells him to take good care of Anna; Hans, however, tells Elsa that Anna has died from a frozen heart. Elsa falls into immediate despair and the storm calms. With the winds calm, Anna is able to see Kristoff rushing towards her, but she also notices Hans about to kill her mourning sister, who has resigned to being murdered, with a sword; forced to choose between saving herself and saving Elsa, Anna rushes to her sister's side and blocks the sword with her hand just as her body turns to solid ice.

Elsa openly weeps over her frozen sister, but Anna slowly begins to thaw; sacrificing herself for Elsa was the act of true love she needed to save herself. Elsa, happily reunited with her sister and shocked that her sister would sacrifice herself to save her, realizes that true love is the secret to thawing her ice magic, and proceeds to bring back the summer. Hans is apprehended (and punched off a boat), Kristoff is named Arendelle's official ice master and deliverer, and Anna and Kristoff begin a relationship with one another. Most importantly, Anna and Elsa's relationship is rekindled, and the two of them are more than happy to make up for their thirteen years of lost time together, mutually supporting one another as they rule the kingdom as a family. Elsa declares that the gates are never closing again, much to Anna's joy; the queen, now beloved and accepted by all of her subjects (ice powers and all), turns the front of the castle into an ice rink with her powers and gives Anna a new pair of skates for the two of them to skate with, the two of them finally getting their happily ever after...

Mock Trial
In this extra-canonical round, Anna was one of thirty students who were inexplicably taken and brought aboard the Hope's Peak Academy campus in space and forced into a virtual-reality team building exercise. Her memories were removed up to a certain point; she had no recollection of any events after falling off of her horse en route to finding Elsa and being covered in snow, and thus, she was rather confused when she woke up on the beach of the virtual Jabberwock Island. While exploring the several islands that made up Jabberwock, she made friends with quite a few interesting people, the closest of which being Cynthia, whom she met in the amusement park on Island 4 and raced to the castle. She also met Adachi, explaining her circumstances to him when he graciously offered to assist her on the beach, Athena, who radically altered her perception of lawyers, Simon, who had a rather interesting discussion with her in regards to antiques and ice powers, Miriam, a sheepish yet very polite girl with negative feelings towards magic, Maw, a talking dinosaur who actually proved to be rather friendly, Dan, who had rather strong feelings against her for being a "millenial", and Homura, a mysterious girl who presented the possibility of time travel to her.

After the "team building exercise" ended, Anna was one of the first to discover Lysandre's body; that said, despite her terror, she attempted to try her best to help with the investigation, realizing the gravity of the situation and the necessity of finding all of the evidence. During the trial, she attempted to speculate as much as possible to make sure every possibility was explored; in spite of this, though, when Homura came under suspicion due to her earring being found at the crime scene, Anna and Cynthia adamantly tried to defend their friend as much as possible, attempting to steer the trial away from the assumption that Homura was the killer. Jay was not pleased.

She also tried her best to help out Betty and Athena with their "bird-robot" test, punching the Grand Highblood in an attempt to prove whether or not he was actually a bird piloting a robotic body; unfortunately, this earned her a trip inside the hair of the Highblood, where she was buried for a few minutes until she received a superficial injury. Later, she and Cynthia interrogated Lysandre's Honchkrow, helping draw out testimony that proved crucial until Homura's familiar, the bird that murdered Lysandre, appeared.

Upon coming to terms with Homura's status as the culprit, she still refused to lose faith in her friend, seeing through the front that she gave in an attempt to vilify herself and making sure she knew that she still believed in her; she also made sure to make clear to her "classmates" that Homura's heart shouldn't be ignored, even if she was responsible for the murder. She promised Cynthia, who was more than torn up over the revelation, that they would fight for their happy ending, beginning with the two of them preparing chocolate and desserts for everyone in the mess hall after the trial ended.

At voting, she and Cynthia ended up deciding to take a stand; she comforted the crying Super High School Level Heroine as she wrote down "Akemi Homerun" as her vote for the culprit, promising her that she would never have to do that again. As for herself, she wrote down her own name, telling Homura one last time that she still has faith in her before she gets dragged off for the execution, "Time's Up".

After the execution, she followed her friend's lead and mouthed off at those that enjoyed Homura's hopeless death being made into a spectacle, and sobbed as she made clear her thoughts as to just how wrong the events taking place in the space station were before running off towards the elevator to make dessert in the mess hall. Adachi followed suit and attempted to calm her down, partly out of concern for her and partly because he wanted free food.

A Plea from the Stars
Sometime after the events of Elsa's coronation, Anna was contacted by the Future Foundation, who had heard of Anna's actions and sacrifice for her sister. The organization was searching for various men and women across time and space to act as "agents of hope" in a subsection they titled "Hope's Army". This subsection, ultimately made up of 28 people from multiple different universes, was to be sent on a brief mission in Kalos to help apprehend Team Flare, Lysandre, and the forces of despair on the whole. Anna, who was assured that the mission would be a relatively brief infiltration operation, left Elsa with the promise that she would return shortly as she went through Hajime Hinata's wormhole machine to the Hope Army base. There, she attempted to make friends with as many of her fellow operatives as she could, essentially acting as the team's support system and encouragement.

During the brief time where she prepared for the mission, she became close with many of the girls in Hope's Army after a fun sleepover night arranged by Super Sonico, and learned how to play the piano with the help of Tohru Adachi. However, her closest relationship was undoubtedly with Doctor Naomi Kimishima; though the doctor mainly kept to herself, Anna seemed to possess a sixth sense when it came to locating her at any given time, though she often used this ability just to talk about whatever was on her mind at the moment. Thankfully, the normally solitary pathologist appreciated her company, despite Anna's tendency to go on incredibly long-winded tangents. The princess and the pathologist had even made a promise to protect one another prior to their perilous pilgrimage to Kalos; this promise would later be echoed during the School Life of Mutual Killing.

Day One - Welcome to Despair Academy
After Hope's Army's operation ended in failure, Anna Borealis, dubbed with the title of "Super High School Level Little Sister", wakes up with a jolt to the unfamiliar ceiling of the Hope's Peak Academy Auxiliary Campus alongside 29 others with no recollection of anything past searching for her sister on horseback and falling. Believing that time was of the essence if she wished to find her sister and save her kingdom before it was too late (though also noting the absence of the white streak in her hair, and the presence of an unfamiliar scar on her right hand), she rushed out of her room and headed straight for the cafeteria. Along the way, however, she proved to be incredibly clumsy, bumping into an almost obscene amount of people: the timid Homura Akemi, the courteous Super Sonico, the modest Miriam Tristesse, the calculating Himeko Inaba, the calm and collected {...} (also known as "Dick Walker"), the determined Ike Rockoff, and the...very, very angry Dan Mandel were all victims of Anna's stampede upon first exiting her room en route to the cafeteria on the first day. Thankfully, she was able to befriend most of them! Anna also found a kindred spirit with the Super High School Level Heroine and fellow princess Cynthia Healy, and the two of them became fast friends thanks to their incredible combined charisma; she also immediately formed what would become a close bond with Doctor Naomi Kimishima, the Super High School Level Pathologist; the good doctor, though somewhat concerned with her naiveté (especially after hearing of her engagement), appreciated her open and optimistic nature.

Day One - A Murder Game is Announced
Anna, naturally, was more than perturbed by the notion that the only means of escape from the Academy was taking another life; it was Elfangor-Sirinal-Shamtul, along with Inaba and Cynthia, who calmed her down, reassuring her that there will be a way for them to escape if they stay together. She is also warned by Tobias Fangor to be wary of who she trusts; though she promises him that she'll watch her back, she is also determined to help make sure that everyone is safe. She makes adamantly clear that she has no intention of killing anyone, but she also refuses to lie down quietly and let herself be killed.

Week One - Mystery and Pancakes
After the intense stress of the first day, Anna decided to take the initiative and help {...}, whom she affectionately calls Richard, make dinosaur-shaped pancakes for everyone. Anna, living under such sheltered conditions, proved to be impressively incompetent as a chef; her first pancake ended up being flipped so high that it managed to become stuck to the ceiling. This pancake would become a symbol of Anna and Richard's friendship, and she grew to become quite proud of how long it would stay attached to the scaffolding.

Over the course of the week, she meets Augustine Sycamore, Cammy Meele, Vinh Tran, Fujimoto Nanaumi, and Tohru Adachi (whom she encounters battered and bruised, thanks to an experiment he performed with Cynthia). She also introduces Hanbei Takanaka to the wonders of chocolate, and is taught the importance of a well-aimed punch to the groin from Betty. At the group meeting in the AV Room on Thursday, she trades Cecil a sarashi in exchange for twin dolls that she owned as a child, meant to resemble Elsa and herself. She also brings up the scar on her palm to Adachi, who has numerous scars on his torso, himself; in an attempt to make him feel better about them, she tells him that they make him seem cooler because he can make up stories about how he got them, providing a fictional account of an intense encounter with a "guy who likes to set things on fire" named the "Flame Swordsman" for him to use.

Week Two - Secrets and More Pancakes
The heat during the second week at Hope's Peak is incredibly stagnant, and though Anna didn't have much of a problem with extreme temperature, tension in the academy was high as Monobear revealed his first motive in threatening to reveal one's biggest secrets if a murder does not take place by week's end. Anna was one of the few blessed with a rather innocuous secret (she once accidentally broke a priceless vase when she was six years old and tried to put it back together with scotch tape and band-aids), and though she tried her hardest to be accepting of the secrets of all of her classmates, including Tran, Cynthia, Inaba, and especially Naomi, who told Anna her secret and her past in confidence, the majority of the students were tight-lipped as can be when it came to their hidden exploits. In spite of this, she still continued to try and become closer with several of her fellow students throughout the week, going on adventures with Cynthia and plotting extreme stunts on bicycles, cooking with Sonico, discussing the joys of ice cream with Tobias and experiencing the wonders of coffee experiments with Tran just before Betty and Simon announce their marriage, which leaves Anna ecstatic.

When Tran's dead body is found in the bathroom, she's incredibly shaken, but upon realizing the gravity of the situation, she steels herself and searches for clues, beginning with the storage room; there, Beat taught her about the practice of "sizzurp", and the two of them found a lone shoe in the kitchen, unsure of its significance. At the trial, Anna tried her hardest to make sense of the situation, providing her account of the last time she saw Tran before he was killed and trying to speculate as best she could, given the amount of evidence. When Miriam was put under suspicion for her title, she and several others attempted to defend her as best as possible; however, Miriam's confession after the hair found at the crime scene proved to be a match settled the case, resulting in Miriam's (quite literally) crushing execution and the revelation of her secret, which deeply distressed and traumatized Anna, yet seeing everyone band together in the cafeteria and create makeshift Monobears to set on fire and make s'mores over lifted her spirits after the trial and made her resolute that something like this would not repeat itself. Finally, she shared a drink of ca phe nau da, Tran's favorite kind of coffee, with Naomi as the new week came on the horizon.

Week Three - The Snow Queen
On the first day of the week, Anna regained an interesting memory; she suddenly found herself able to recall an experience from her childhood, where she played with Elsa in the ballroom of their castle. Elsa had created a winter wonderland for her inside their own home, and the two of them made a snowman, skated over the ice, and slid down hills. However, the memory ends with the young Anna being struck in the head with Elsa's ice magic by accident; this memory leaves Anna incredibly perplexed as to why she didn't remember such a thing to begin with, as it answered many of her questions from her childhood, including why her sister shut her out to begin with.

With the opening of the new floor, Anna became a frequent visitor of the library, where she checked out many different books, including The Snow Queen, which she promised to read with Tobias each night; she also decided to make an enormous cake with Homura for Betty and Simon's wedding. However, just when she was starting to get a handle on herself, the motive for that week portrayed Elsa, alone and about to die. Naturally, this footage was more than enough to make Anna break down in tears, but with help from Naomi, she was able to get a hold of herself and try not to think about it as she helped Sonico and Simon in the infirmary. Later, she visited Tobias and attempted to talk him out of his slump; she got a Rose In-Vitro from him as he explained to her what it feels like to fly, and he taught her a song, You Are My Sunshine. The next day, Anna received a crash-course from Naomi and Cecil in sex-ed, and was rather perturbed by the idea...thankfully, with her friend leading the conversation, her discomfort was only temporary. Finally, upon hearing the news of Adachi asking Sonico out, she became filled with glee and decided that she wants to play matchmaker however she can, and see the two of them become an official couple; thus, her legacy as Hope's Peak Academy's resident shipper on deck began.

Though she was devastated that a murder interrupted Betty and Simon's wedding, Anna was able to find traces of black nail polish in the science room's sink. During the trial, she attempted to speculate the identity of the murderer; however, upon hearing of the story behind Saki's circumstances, all she could think of was her sister, Elsa, and how similar their stories were, right down to repressing their abilities after unintentionally harming someone.

Week Four - Broken Wings
The fourth week at Hope's Peak Academy begins with a disturbing incident: Homura began to grow wings from her back, and she was one of those on the scene to assist her, along with Sonico, Naomi and Simon. Thankfully, the procedure to get them out was a success, and the next day, Betty informed her of the existence of Hope. Unfortunately, the Monkey Fever motive proved particularly harrowing on the chatty Anna; not only did her fever become unbearable, she also completely lost the ability to speak for the duration of the week. In spite of her illness, though, she refused to lose her determination to help other people who need it, stating that there are others here who are living with worse conditions. Unfortunately, the hallucinations that accompany the fever began to make her a liability, and she was unable to help out as much as she would like. However, in the wake of Naomi's explosion, she made a promise to Naomi that she'll take care of her until the two of them leave together; following this, Naomi fell into a deep sleep, resting for days on end with Anna staying in the infirmary to take care of her. While there, she passed time by making flower crowns from the greenhouse for each of her friends, and taught Inaba how to make them, as well.

When Homura is the one who ends up dead, with Naomi still asleep, it was up to Anna, now relieved of her fever, to inspect the body and Homura's room, with the help of Inaba. She also investigated the Physics Lab and found several crucial pieces of evidence there, before going to Naomi and consulting her for guidance. With Naomi still in no state to attend the proceedings, Anna decided to take the responsibility of leading the trial upon herself; before leaving, though, she stated her intention to learn how to perform a proper autopsy and investigation, realizing that after four months, she needs to be as big of a help as she can; thus, Anna's role as Naomi's protege officially began. At the trial, Anna took over Naomi's position of "playing detective," as Schuldig called it; she delivered the details of the crime scene investigation at the opening, and tried her best to keep the trial on track as much as possible by leading discussion. She also was responsible for the checks against the culprit's hair and clothing, though she did feel terrible over how hard Cynthia took the revelation of her hero being the culprit; truly, the trial was a hollow victory, and even in the wake of Naomi's recovery, Anna makes it evident that she doesn't feel as though the "killing game" is getting any easier.

Week Five - Don't Stop Believing
With the opening of the music room, Anna, inspired by Tobias, decides to throw a karaoke party later in the week as an event to bring the students closer together. Tobias also tells her that Schuldig wishes to teach her German, and Anna happily obliges him, proving to be a fast learner. When he teaches her that the German equivalent of "fuck off" means "thank you," she believes him without question. In preparation for the party, she decides to practice cooking with the help of Inaba and Sonico. In terms of recreation, she also tries to take up both learning how to play the piano by herself and archery; though Cynthia is admittedly a bit scared of the possibility of an absurd ricochet, she is happy to help her practice with a bow and arrow.

The motive for that week, her greatest regret, is shown to be arguing with her sister at her coronation; because of the argument, she feels as though she is responsible for her sister running away and freezing over the kingdom. Anna, who still doesn't know whether her sister is alright and what has become of her kingdom, is left incredibly frustrated, but she still attempts to talk everyone out of doing anything rash. Inaba, who normally plays things very close to her chest, decides to have a discussion with Anna where they tell each other their regrets; Anna reassures Inaba, telling her that she admires her very much and thinks of her as a good person who looks out for herself and her friends. Later, she also talks to Lysandre, who compliments her performance at the last trial, and the two of them discuss further plans to bring the class together as a unit, as well as exchange opinions on their faith in the group. At karaoke night, she was pleasantly surprised at the turnout, and oversaw the event as best she could, singing duets with Naomi (Don't Stop Believing), Tobias (Free Bird), Schuldig (Scheisse), Sonico (Smells Like Teen Spirit) and, horrendously enough, Adachi (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers). She also forces Richard and Naomi, after seeing the two of them becoming so close, to get up together and sing a duet (A Whole New World). Overall, the night was a resounding success, and many of her friends got up on stage to sing songs and have a good time with one another.

...Unfortunately, her feelings of joy were quite short-lived, after seeing the dead bodies of Tobias and Jay. That trial was particularly difficult on Anna, as she was rather close to Tobias, and the details of the murder brought one heartbreaking revelation after the next. The fact that it was proven there was a mole among them desecrating murder scenes was hard enough of a pill to swallow for Anna, but Elfangor's reasoning for killing Jay in defense of his son truly made the idea of just how twisted this school was set in for Anna, who broke down as she put Elfangor's name on the ballot. However, her reaction to watching Naomi and Walker flick cranes at one another during the "brainchat" after the trial seemed to indicate that she wasn't about to lose hope just yet, and she and Inaba were both able to provide a small amount of support for one another.

Week Six - Locked Girl
As a way of cheering herself up, Anna spent most of the first day of week six together with Naomi; though Inaba had wanted to speak with her yesterday, following her memory regain, she spent the day in her room, an act that worried Anna due to her sister's actions throughout her childhood. Anna encountered Cynthia in the gym on the treadmill, and the two of them discussed ideas for future events, their main idea being two events on Wednesday and Thursday; the logic being that an event on Thursday might end up going late into Friday morning, dissuading any potential murders at that time. On Monday, she was approached by Goku in the music room, and she tried teaching him how to play the piano, seeing it as one of the best ways to keep her mind off of darker things. The two of them enjoy their time together in the music room, and Anna decides to teach Goku on Tuesdays, as motive days are usually the time when she most needs to unwind during the week. Monday night ended with her reading the final part of The Snow Queen to the shrine dedicated to Tobias's memory, as they were just about to finish it before he died. She was joined by Schuldig, who also taught her how to sing a lullaby, on the condition that she only sing it for him.

The week's motive was separating the group by floor; Anna found herself on Floor Three with Hanbei, Cecil and Lysandre. With the greenhouse on her floor, she was able to act as a liaison between the upper and lower floors by providing fruits and vegetables, and she arranges meetings between herself and Naomi (on Floor Two) and Cynthia (on Floor Four) every six hours to see what's in short supply. Betty provides her with a notebook to make lists of things they need, and Cecil gives her a rose whip to protect herself if the situation calls for it. Though she appears to have the situation under control, for the most part, the rule that prevents sleeping anywhere other than designated areas seems to be the biggest hurdle to overcome. Anna passes time in the evenings by reading The Princess Bride to Naomi through the gates.

Unfortunately, when Hanbei ends up dead on her floor, Anna is understandably unable to contain her horror; Hanbei had set up a bomb rigged to make his head explode, and Cecil had accidentally triggered it, but hypothetically, he was merely the culprit by circumstance, as anyone on her floor could have been responsible for his death if they were in the right place at the right time. With Lysandre's execution following the trial, Anna was the only one on Floor Three who made it past the week, and the effect on her was obvious, though she had promised herself she wasn't going to cry anymore. Though she was struck with strong feelings of survivor's guilt, a long talk with Cynthia and Naomi helped her mood slightly, as did cocoa from Richard accompanied by a brief attempt to play Cupid on her end between him and Naomi.

Week Seven - Love Colored Ward
Anna had been one of the few to spend the night in Naomi's room after several days without sleep. Fortunately, on Sunday, she was able to wake up just in time to see Richard and Naomi plan a secret rendezvous for later that evening, and though she was half-asleep, she was able to bug Richard more than enough about it, coercing him into promising her if anything romantic were to happen between them. Later that morning, Anna attended the meeting still half-asleep, and she discussed her memory with Naomi; though she was able to find her sister, she was, unfortunately, shot through the heart with ice magic. Anna was convinced that the incident was a complete accident, but she was unsure of the potential effects it could have on her. Though Naomi was quick to offer her ideas, she also informed Anna that she, too, had a troubling memory: she was infected with the eighth strain of the deadly disease called GUILT, and the prognosis wasn't favorable, as she was only given six months to a year at best to live. In spite of this, Anna tried her best to remain optimistic, and made Naomi promise to tell her if she was feeling symptoms of fatigue over the course of the remaining weeks. After she had woken up, Cynthia approached her and discussed her plans for a LARP night, and a date was scheduled in preparation. Later that evening, she decided to sneak by Naomi's door to investigate the meaning of the secret meeting between the pathologist and the zombie, but was incredibly surprised to see the two of them kissing through the crack in the doorway; Anna was so thrilled that she blew her cover, though being caught in the act didn't quite seem to put a damper on her excitement towards finally seeing the two of them together.

The next morning, Anna, now in much brighter spirits after witnessing the aforementioned display of affection, was tasked with researching the members of Hope's Peak's 78th class by Inaba, who feels as though she put Anna in danger by telling her of her circumstances back home. Anna is quick to tell her otherwise, telling her that she's proud of her ability to stand up for what's right and that she shouldn't be hesitant to speak with her about her dilemmas. Unfortunately, on Tuesday, after it was revealed that Hope had been captured, an incident between Beat and Monobear resulted in Walker becoming blown to pieces; despite the fact that he was still alive, Anna was still incredibly worried for her friend, and was more than relieved when he turned out to be okay. Anna later found Schuldig in the sewing room, and the two of them discuss the incident, coming to the hypothesis that Monobear can't break his own rules; he can add rules, and he can expand upon rules, but he's unable to take them away once they're in place. Thus, the rules act as a double-edged sword for Monobear; Schuldig advises her not to tell anyone else about this, and that this information should be used as a trump card. On Wednesday, Anna decided to read her own file from the information room, which stated that her engagement with Hans was "cancelled indefinitely". When questioning Naomi (who let out the biggest internal sigh of relief imaginable) about it, she began to wonder what caused the cancellation and, in turn, worry about the state of Arendelle. In the meantime, Schuldig had met with Monobear and their hypothesis was proven correct, giving the two of them a bit more determination to press onward; in light of this discovery, Anna was tasked with learning the rules of the school inside and out, looking for anything that could qualify as a loophole. The two of them also discussed Anna's lingering survivor's guilt from the previous week, and whether or not Mutual Killing was the original purpose of the game. In spite of all of this going on, Anna continued to practice playing the piano, learning how to read music and play more steadily; she was still joined by Goku throughout her time playing.

So naturally, Anna was more than displeased when she found the piano destroyed on Friday morning, and far more displeased when Betty was found dead in the art room. Interestingly enough, she came across a list by the body with the letters A, B and C on it, with the letter B checked off. After examining the body with Naomi, she noticed the bite-marks on Betty's legs and came to the conclusion that the carnivorous man-eating plant in the Greenhouse is the most likely suspect. Though it looked rather ornery at first, Anna decided to soothe the savage beast by serenading it with her Disney princess vocal chords, prompting it to cough up the evidence she needed. Later, she decided to visit Schuldig to cross-reference the handwriting on the note with Lysandre's sign-in book for the post-trial meetings. The analysis proved inconclusive, but Anna came up with a theory that the A, B, and C were short for her name, Betty's name, and Cynthia's, a theory that disturbs the two princesses. Though she attempted to offer as many theories as she could, none of them seemed to connect very well due to the interference of the second mole; when she asked Monobear whether or not he was hiding the ice crown under his seat, he denied it, only to reveal later that he was actually hiding it behind his seat the whole time, much to Anna's chagrin. After Betty's note was revealed, Anna was left unsure how to feel, but she was certain that the love between Betty and Simon was true love that could have blossomed if not for the crown. When Simon reveals that there was a little girl back home that he was taking care of who needs her help, Anna and Cynthia decide that they will look for her together once they leave Hope's Peak. After the trial, she prepared food with Cynthia and Sonico, attempting to bring everyone together and boost morale in spite of the growing division between classmates. In the labcoat left for her by Betty, she found the note with the space-time expert's biggest regret on it, and discussed it with Naomi while lamenting the split among the students. She also decided to take up combat training with Cynthia in the dojo, so that the two of them will be prepared if anything happens to either of them.

Week Eight - Speak Like a Child
Anna awoke the morning after the trial with a groggy head and a harsh memory, recalling being forcefully removed from Elsa's ice palace by a giant snowman, and landing at the bottom of the North Mountain, supposedly fine. That week also saw the opening of the phantom bottom floor, a replica of the first floor containing several secret rooms locked with passwords. The dormitory section's openable doors were locked behind codes relating to the deceased student's Super High School Level titles; Anna, Naomi and {...} investigated Jay's room, finding a portrait of him with the otters he considered family as well as his journal. That day, she also began training with Cynthia and visited Schuldig at the boat in the piano room made for him by Monobear; there, she finally got around to discussing her circumstances at Arendelle with Schuldig, who offered her a unique perspective on her parent's decision to hide Elsa's powers.

The next week's "motive" was a peculiar one for sure, as a technical malfunction caused by Hope resulted in the inability of the remaining survivors to have their words translated from their native tongues. Unfortunately, Anna was one of the students most affected by the malfunction; her mother tongue, the Norwegian dialect of Arendelle, was incomprehensible to most of the remaining Super High School Levels. Fortunately, a book she located in the library with the help of Cammy (the Super High School Level Translator) and Naomi allowed her to speak in incredibly rough English, which was enough to get her by for somewhat decent conversation. She was able to communicate with Schuldig as well somewhat telepathically, through mental symbols.

Not one to let the situation keep her down, though, Anna eagerly participated in Cynthia's LARP night, assuming the role of a "jaegerfly" (a fighter) to Naomi's "magicker" (a mage). However, not all was fun and games as the language barrier was lifted, and with it, two bodies were found: Fujimoto's and Inaba's, both killed in a particularly gruesome manner. The latter's death particularly affected Anna, who had to make an intense effort not to cry upon reading the final letter left to her by Inaba, pleading for her to continue to work towards finding out the truth. In the end, it was discovered that Kirei Kotomine was the culprit, having murdered Inaba with a single punch to the chest in addition to having pushed Fujimoto to the bottom of the empty pool, killing him instantly. However, Kotomine was killed, succumbing to his own injuries, before Monobear was able to carry out an execution; this malfunction gave the remaining students another slight glimmer of hope.

Schuldig hosted the post-trial gathering in the cafeteria that night, where the students discussed their findings on the final floor. It was here that Anna reflected on just how much she's changed since coming to the school before Schuldig himself snapped her out of her reverie, giving her a piggyback ride down to the music room. The two discussed their respective opinions of Kotomine, as Schuldig was rather shaken from the events of the trial and his own interactions with the Super High School Level Exorcist; after she did what she could to console him, they also spoke with each other about what it means to lead, with Schuldig finishing the conversation telling Anna that she could lead the remaining survivors if she had to.

Week Nine - The Pancake Strikes Back
The next morning, Anna dedicated her time with Naomi and Goku towards figuring out the secret behind doors B and C, determining that the passwords were based off the murders of the first Game of Mutual Killing; the files found in the secret room opened by Lysandre gave the students details of the murders in that class, with Anna in charge of finding information on Chihiro Fujisaki and Mondo Oowada, as well as assisting Goku with Hifumi Yamada, Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Celestia Ludenberg (also known as Taeko Yasuhiro).

Encountering Schuldig the next day, the two of them had a discussion about their findings and the nature of their situation and their thoughts on what exactly endgame would be here; the motive for the week, in the end, turned out to be a move pressuring the mole to kill someone. However, as for team-building exercises, the week was relatively plentiful as Naomi hosted a crane-folding party in the cafeteria in addition to Cynthia hosting a sleepover on Thursday night, which gave each of the guests there solid alibis for the next murder. Unfortunately, a murder still took place that night, and Anna was among the first to notice something was amiss as the moldy pancake that once adorned the ceiling of the kitchen had finally fallen; after seeing this, she rushed to Richard's room to find him dead.

In this trial, Anna was utterly livid, threatening to shove her prized pancake down the throat of the culprit when they find out who he is. Anna was quickly able to determine that the murder weapon was fabricated, and with the help of the others, Adachi, the culprit, slipped up and revealed the true murder weapon: a hammer. Adachi admitted his guilt, but not before summoning his Persona before the courtroom; ultimately, however, he was pacified and executed, though Anna was stopped before she was able to feed him her pancake. In the end, Anna was left to pacify Naomi after the loss of her lover, spending the night with her, and Sonico for the loss of hers as well, despite the fact that he proved to be different from the man she thought he was.

Week Ten - Knockin' on Heaven's Door
Unfortunately, the memory Anna woke up to was a horrifying one, as she ultimately recalled being left in the study of Arendelle castle as Hans revealed his true nature and murderous intentions to her. Though she was incredibly shaken, she reacted to the memory with anger moreso than heartbreak; her time in the school makes his words to her, meant to make her doubt love in her life, ring hollow, as she knows she has many friends and people cheering her on to make it out of this alive with the others. Unfortunately, Naomi also wakes up with a grim memory, as she realizes the remnants of her disease symptoms are worsening. The two of them try their best to take care of each other in the wake of their revelations as they visit Richard's room on the seventh floor, leaving him 1,000 paper cranes and taking his blue scarf, which Anna wears as a memento.

In spite of the phantoms that begin to wander through the halls, which shakes Anna somewhat (though she pities Naomi moreso), after tending to Schuldig's torn muscles from an intense Dance Dance Revolution match with Monobear, tells Schuldig about her memory; Schuldig responds by telling her about his own first love, and by consoling her in his own way. Meanwhile, as Anna wails on a dummy during training with Cynthia to vent our her aggression, Cynthia tells her about her findings behind Door D; it would seem as though some kind of war zone took place behind the door there, and Cynthia has theories that Junko Enoshima might have come back from the dead to torment the living.

Anna also has a discussion with Sonico; now that she remembers what happened with Hans, she feels better equipped to at least make an attempt to try and console her a little better, telling her that as long as she has her friends with her, she won't be alone. As if to further her own point to herself, she gives Naomi one of her items from the Monomono Machine: an Eternal Friendship Bracelet to match one that she has for herself, symbolizing the bond they made together in the school. Later, she is visited by what's supposedly the phantom of Tobias in the library, and reads him the ending to the Snow Queen, as he indicates he did not hear the end. The ghost draws her a picture, and she keeps it inside her copy of the book; Schuldig, however, seems convinced the phantoms are somewhat off from Kirei's, and tells Anna to be cautious.

Friday comes, and Anna is emotionally devastated when she realizes that the murdered student this week is none other than Naomi; it is only after she composes herself that she realizes Dan died in an explosion as well, and Cynthia was injured in the blast. Having broken her promise, Anna is close to hysterical throughout the investigation, especially when she finds a note in Naomi's room telling her that Naomi had loved her as her daughter and bequeathing her a teddy bear to give to Alyssa, Naomi's adoptive daughter at home. From this point forward, Anna carries the teddy bear wherever she goes.

At the trial, Anna desperately made all attempts possible to find Naomi's culprit, trying her best to keep herself collected and not let her emotions get the best of her. However, when she finds Dan's journal (in actuality a hate list detailing a slow yet sure loss of sanity within Dan) in Cynthia's bag, eyes turn to her to be the culprit; Anna and the others refuse to accept this, despite Cynthia's lapse in memory and Monobear's urging to end the trial. As it turns out, through what felt like endless hours of discussion, it was determined that Dan killed Naomi and Monobear was the actual culprit for Dan's murder, rigging the trial to end in a mass execution; however, the students were saved at the last second by a sudden blackout, which plunged the entire school into darkness for three days straight.

Week Eleven - Nine Trials, Nine Persons, Nine Floors
The nine remaining students (consisting of Anna, Cynthia, Schuldig, Beat, Sonico, Goku, Archer,, now with nearly all of their memories seemingly returned, stayed in the dark for several days after the trial ended, using nothing but candles and the small lights they received in the Monomono Machine for light. Anna, in Naomi's memory, attempted to fold cranes in memoriam; she folds cranes for Dan as well, despite her rage at him for killing Naomi. Investigating in the dark proves fruitless, though the group attempts to remain cohesive to keep morale high. On Wednesday, the lights return and the nine survivors are issued a challenge by the Mastermind: their freedom will be granted if all of the school's mysteries are solved following an investigation of the hidden eighth floor in twenty-four hours time. The group accepts the challenge, but Anna first goes down to the seventh floor and leaves Naomi her cranes, giving her one last goodbye.

Anna, on an investigative team with Schuldig and Beat, investigates a room that turns out to be the morgue, discovering, among other things, 28 suits and lockers filled with the corpses of the students; one of them is locked up tightly, and one of them seems to be missing a student.

Final Trial - Love is Destructive
The trial starts off with a bang, inevitably revealing that the Mastermind behind everything was in fact Lysandre, who had gone rogue from the Future Foundation and intended to destroy the world; as a result, the Future Foundation gathered 28 people with potential to spread hope from around time and space to create Hope's Army, which was intended to invade Lysandre's base in Kalos and stop him. Hope's Army, however, failed, and Lysandre proceeded to destroy Kalos and keep the members of Hope's Army trapped in a mutual killing game beneath Lysandre's base, in a bunker fashioned to resemble Hope's Peak Academy, to broadcast to the Future Foundation, showing them just how futile their hope was when it had no foundation. Eventually, the survivors convinced Lysandre that they had indeed learned not to take other people for granted and to attempt to make connections to better understand one another; satisfied, Lysandre was executed, and the survivors were able to escape.

Epilogue - Kyou no Hi wa Sayounara
Upon arriving in Kalos, above ground in the "wasteland", the survivors were greeted by Hinata and other members of the Future Foundation; together, the remaining members of Hope's Army agreed to begin a recovery effort. Not too long afterwards, however, the group was greeted by Xerneas, the Creation Pokemon, who was able to bring life back to Geosenge City where Lysandre's base was located and revive the people who passed away in the murders of Hope's Peak; Anna tearfully reunited with her lost friends and Naomi, who she now calls Mom; together, the now reunited Hope's Army makes an effort to rebuild Kalos.

Six months later, with the rebuild effort nearly finished, the Future Foundation holds a celebration and allows the members of Hope's Army a choice to return home, to stay in Kalos, or to become a permanent member of the Future Foundation. Anna without hesitation wishes to return to Arendelle to see Elsa, and the two sisters reunite at the celebration in tears of joy before going back home.
