Anne works as an herpetologist who specializes in amphibians at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California, designing the entire exhibit after Amphibia and the friends she made there.
Anne is a 23 year old Thai-American woman with a slender build, and light brown skin and auburn hair. She is noticeably tall compared to her friends. Anne also has dark brown eyes. Anne wears a dark green collared shirt that has the logo of the Aquarium alongside a lanyard that has her I.D badge attached to it. Her hair is tied to a Thai-style scrunchie with leaves embroidered on it. She is also wearing cream-colored shorts with yellow and brown boots. She has a bandage at her right knee, and a butterfly bracelet on her left wrist.
Anne was lazy and selfish, even if not overtly, with little interest about what was going on around herself and believing her problems were worse than others' because they were hers. Anne, though appearing strong-willed and confident, was shown to be easily manipulated and lonely deep-down. She was manipulated into skipping school, vandalizing buildings and robbing a thrift store by her best friends. Unknowingly, she acted this way towards her new friend, Sprig, to a lesser extent, manipulating him into doing something he didn't wish to do. Anne was also irresponsible and a bit of a rule-breaker, not respecting the limitations on her freedom within both Amphibia and the human world. Anne not only stole a music box while knowing it wasn't right to, but she also showcases somewhat of a stubborn personality. Oftentimes, Anne knows the wrong decisions she makes aren't right, but she isn't willing to admit it unless she was under massive amounts of pressure. She learnt her mistake when she knew it wasn't the right idea to fake being ill, as it was likely the reason the rest of the Plantar family became sick due to an extra workload during a storm. She did attempt to make up for her mistake by taking care of the Plantars in their sick state, but she didn't admit her errors to the family until she believed they were going to die from the "disease" they caught. Anne is a child of the modern era; a pop-culture enthusiast with a love for young-adult romance and adventure movies and TV and also reads manga. She has sometimes said slang words and internet acronyms such as "Lit", "IRL", "BRB", and used the shrug emoji when she wrote a letter to announce Sprig's breakup. Anne would show a dislike to pineapples (especially as a pizza topping) and will threaten anyone mentioning them. Whenever she has downtime, she's pretty much always seen on her phone, listening to music, watching shows and films she downloaded and sometimes looking at or showing others pictures of her home. Anne's obsession with her phone has been implied to be more sentimental in nature - as she is shown to care most for the uses and memories the phone contains. During her stay in Amphibia, although she still appreciated her phone, she grew less attached to it and found other things to do in her spare time. Anne is shown to take great interest in the romantic lives of her loved ones - going far out of her way to try to make Sprig and Hop Pop confess their feelings to their respective crushes. Despite this, she can be downright brutal with her breakups, giving her the title of "Angel of Death" back on Earth. She's also a practitioner of easy-break ups, advocating Sprig break up with Maddie via a letter.
Anne was born to a Thai couple who immigrated to the United States from Bangkok, Thailand. 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.
