Appearance[]
Youth[]
In her youth, she could afford to dress however she wanted, being from a wealthy family. Following her escape, she had to use as little as she could while living on the street. Homeless and in danger of being recognized, she wore a jacket with a hood over her head until her hair grew long enough not to be recognized with the naked eye.
Present[]
Her casual attire consists of a purple suit with a beige jacket over it. She also wears pantyhose that covers her upper legs.
Physically, she is the third-tallest member of the team and has a short brown hairstyle. As Sagako Buster, she wears a pink uniform and some tools to fight Sagakos, including black gloves for hitting.
Personality[]
Youth[]
Fleeing from the criminal life of her family, she had no choice but to resort to theft to survive on the streets, where she realized the inequality of the world. Although she came from a wealthy family, Anna always wanted to have a normal life and live in the world that she always saw from the top.
She worked with the police in exchange for her identity not being made public after she was caught. But in her last collaboration, one of the police raids ended up causing the death of several people when the situation got out of control. With the weight of knowing that it was her fault that people died, she fled to a place where no one could recognize her.
Present[]
She is responsible for the daily needs of the mansion, such as cleaning and other household chores. But she's also a monstrously powerful fighter in her own right. She doesn't seem to have exorcism skills like Yuko, instead relying on her brute strength and fighting prowess.
Anna tends to have a calm and laid-back personality. Her part-time job keeps her busy with her clients most of the day, and when she works for the Busters, she is Tae's right-hand woman, helping her as the team's labor. Anna is serious about getting things done, and she doesn't lose sight of her goals when she is working.
Although she is one of the less vocal members, she is a vital part of the group, as she is the glue that holds them together. Her abilities to carefully observe and analyze things have benefited the Busters. Without Anna, neither of the girls would come to an agreement on how to defeat the troublesome Sagakos, thus making Tae even more angry.
However, it turns out that the part-time jobs Anna had were in case something went wrong with Sagako Busters, she would run away. As such, she described herself as a coward who would run when the slightest thing went wrong. It isn't until Eikichi makes her reconsider her stay in the group that she realizes that dealing with problems with her peers is the “normal.” Thanks to this, she realizes that she does not want to lose the place that allowed her to be herself and be on the side of justice.
As such, after fleeing Tokyo out of guilt, Anna now decides what she will make of her life in the path of justice. Starting with Sagako Busters, she is always willing to give her life for the sake of Saga and other people. Even years later, she can return to her family to apologize and pursue a new career as a police officer.
