“ | ’Course, my Jake won’t talk to no-one but the most beautiful of women... | ” | — Anna, on her own appearance |
---|
Anna (アンナ) is a recurring character from across the entire Fire Emblem series, save Gaiden. Across the series she has appeared in a diverse number of gameplay support roles - she most frequently recurs as the proprietor of the Secret Shops and confirming whether a player wants to suspend their game - and it is strongly implied that she travels the various Fire Emblem universes with her romantic interest, Jake, having notably made stops in Jugdral and Elibe. While Anna's facial features may slightly change from game to game, she is never seen without a sly smile, her index finger resting on her face, and her red hair tied back in a ponytail. After twelve games and twenty-two years of minor support appearances, Anna became a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening while still reprising some of her roles form the previous games.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Shadow Dragon
During the Archanea League's march to recapture Pales, Anna was living in a house in Knorda. When visited, she mentioned that Jake was working for theoretical Grust occupation forces as a ballistician, telling the player that Jake was not a bad man at all and asking the player to pass on her well-wishes. This prompted Caeda to try talking to Jake, convincing him to defect and ally with Marth; when Jake visited Anna, she encouraged him in this new endeavour, expressing her belief that he would only ever fight for a righteous cause.
Though this role of hers was omitted - along with Jake himself - from Mystery of the Emblem Book 1, she still appears in the capacity of the Secret Shop proprietor in these three games and New Mystery of the Emblem.
Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
In a village in Lenster, during the liberation army's fight against Bloom's control of the Manster District, Anna appeared before Laylea and gave her a Barrier Sword. She mentioned that Jake had already departed to join the liberation war effort, fighting her for, and remarked that Laylea looked as though she was doing the same.
Anna will not appear if her visited by any other character; as such, her appearance is technically only possible if Sylvia did not have children. Additionally, she otherwise does not appear in the game in any other capacity.
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade
Anna was staying at the inn of Badon at the time of Fargus's challenge to Eliwood, Hector and Lyn. She gave them some advice on completing the gauntlet, which she in turn had learned from Jake, who was part of Fargus's crew at the time. She also asked that they pass her well-wishes on to Jake should they run into him.
If the player visits the inn during The Port of Badon, the next chapter, Pirate Ship, will feature different dialogue just before the battle; instead of Dart explaining the presence of merchants on the ship, Jake will instead speak with the army.
In a non-story capacity, Anna runs the game's secret shops and Link Arena, and also appears in the prompt to erase all saved data; she also fills the same roles in the other Game Boy Advance installments, The Binding Blade and The Sacred Stones.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn
Anna makes fewer appearances in these games due to the lack of Secret Shops, and she no longer appears in the prompt for the player to suspend their data. Instead, Anna hosts the in-game tutorial of the two games; of particular note is that these tutorials feature Anna as a Pegasus Knight, and while she does not attack in these tutorials, it marked the first time Anna appeared as a unit.

Endings
Anna, Secret Seller (single ending)
With nary a word, Anna left the others and returned to her free-spirited merchant life. She was later sighted across the continent, haggling with suppliers and beating down the cost of goods.
<Avatar>, High Deliver & Anna, Secret Seller
Many wrote of <Avatar>'s legendary exploits, but accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone—he loved his wife, Anna, above all else.

DLC battle quotes
“ | "Robbery" is one of my danger words, but it looks like I escaped unscathed. My shops are one thing, but no one can know about my, er, personal accounts. And YOU won't be telling them! I can promise you that... | ” | — Anna, in The Golden Gaffe. |
