Biography
Nationality:  Japanese-Welsh

Background History:

    Ana and her brother, Connor, were born in Wales, a Japanese father and a Welsh mother. Her father, Kokei, was a engineer, working for a large corporation. While her mother, Cynthia, worked at a small boutique, designing clothes on the side. Cynthia was killed during a robbery when the twins were 5. 
    For a year, Kokei had to look after Ana and Connor as a single father while working 9 hours for 6 days a week. Kokei decided to move back to Japan, unable to look after the twins alone. So 4 months after the twins' 6th birthday, the 3 moved to Kyoto, Japan and joined family there.
    Ana and her brother had some trouble adjusting with the different culture and traditions of Japan, but after 2 months they got by well. When they entered elementary, it was not hard for Ana to make friends, but things got messy in middle school. Ana was very outgoing and friendly with everyone. However, she had a naive sense of things and said whatever she thought, not knowing that people would interpret her diction and meaning in a more negative way. One day, she said something about her friends that was later taken another way. Stating that no one could stand Ana anymore, they stopped being her friend. This was a domino effect, causing people to not want to talk to her anymore. Ana spent the rest of her middle school years heart broken and alone.
    It was during this period of times where she discovered the world of anime and gaming. She loved the fact that she could play as different people, helping her low self-esteem. She started learning how to make games herself and started developing stories with these games. She realized that writing helped her with communicating, making her even more determine to write, so that she later know how to communicate with people without having to go through the troubles of middle school.
    When she entered first year high school, she continued to be alone, surrounded by people she went to middle school with. She continued to be a quiet and shy girl, staying in her world of games. However, her father decided to move to Sapporo, where there was a good job offer there, plus he was ready to look after his children by himself. When first year ended, the family moved and the twins will enter Tayousei Gakuen

Description of relationship with Social Group members:  It may be easy to talk to her if you have common interests, but it took her a while to actually warm up and have a friendly relationship with the Geeks. Her sarcastic and cynical personality wasn't the most welcoming trait, but it has been a great help when dealing with any aggression from other groups. She became determine to earn the Geek's trust, showing that she had there back. Proving to be a loyal and fierce friend, Ana got along with the Geeks much better and thoroughly enjoys the Gaming Club.

Love - Interest:  Shizuo Heiwajima (Durarara)

Description of relationship:
     It started out with Shizuo punching her in the face. In the first week of school, Connor had annoyed Shizuo, who started chasing Connor. He mistaken Ana for Connor and punched her in the face. After realizing his horrible mistake, he brought her to the nurses office and waited until she woke up to apologize, trying to explain that he wasn't really a violent person, just a violent body. Ana found it hilarious, granted she said it in a sarcastic manner. She forgave him. They later found out that they shared quite an amount of classes. From there, they became close, interacting with each other alot.
    Their relationship is quite a relaxed and understanding one. Both of them are cautious of their selves, fearing of hurting each other; Shizuo with his temper and his bursts of unintentional violence and Ana with her unintentional diction and bluntness. Still, Shizuo knows that Ana doesn't mean to insult people while Ana's patient demeanor allows her to calmly take in Shizuo's aggressive nature. Of course, they had their moments of frustration with each other, but they learn to push pass it. The irony is that they both experience self-loathing, but when they hear it from their respective partners, they try to stop their partners from feeling as such.
