Anya Forger is a petite young girl characterized by her fair skin and striking green eyes. When she first encounters Loid, he notes that she appears to be around four to five years old at most. Her large, oval-shaped green eyes are accentuated by prominent eyelashes, contributing to her expressive look. Anya has shoulder-length, light pink hair that curls inward, complemented by a fringe that brushes just above her eyes, along with a small ahoge atop her head. Although Anya is noticeably shorter than her peers, which often leads to teasing from Damian and his friends, Damian himself perceives her as increasingly attractive.

During their initial meeting at the orphanage, Anya wore a simple black dress adorned with a white ribbon at the front, paired with white folded-down socks and black shoes. This outfit is a common choice for her at home. She also sports two black hair ornaments with bright yellow accents resembling small horns, which she is rarely seen without—even during sleep. The only occasions where she appears without them are in her past flashbacks and at the end-of-class gala, where her hair is styled into small buns instead.

At Eden Academy, Anya dons the standard school uniform, which includes white knee-high socks and black Mary Janes. She carries a brown school bag with a sheep keychain attached. During physical education classes, she ties her hair back with a red headband while wearing the gym uniform, which consists of white socks and gym shoes.

In her younger years, Anya’s hair was slightly shorter, and she typically wore clothing that resembled scrubs.

Anya Forger is a highly impressionable young child, shaped significantly by the people around her. Her telepathic abilities lead her to mimic Loid and learn how to punch from Yor. Having been ostracized due to her powers and moving through various foster homes, Anya quickly gravitated towards Twilight, viewing him as a genuine spy. Since her adoption, she has been eager to accompany Loid on his missions, hoping to witness the thrilling spy activities she often sees on television. However, she soon learns about the harsh realities of espionage and tries her best not to interfere with Loid’s work. Despite this, Anya enjoys watching spy cartoons, with her favorite being Spy Wars, and is often captivated by the secret lives of her adoptive parents.

Anya’s behavior often reflects her youthful innocence, as she is actually around five years old, though she pretends to be six after reading Loid’s mind and understanding his need for an older child. Loid, known for his perceptive nature, initially believes she is younger than six. Anya’s demeanor is characterized by her gregarious, trusting, and simple-minded nature, making her easily distracted. Like many children her age, she may not fully understand the implications of her actions or their effects on others. For instance, she opposes Nightfall, fearing that she might become an honor student through rigorous methods. Anya is impulsive, often breaking rules in search of excitement and readily altering plans for personal gains, such as treats or rewards. Despite these tendencies, it is important to note that her actions are typical of a child who may not yet fully grasp the complexities of social interactions.

Anya demonstrates remarkable intelligence and capability, keeping up with an advanced curriculum meant for older children. Although some might view her as lacking intellect for her age, she is, in fact, a gifted and precocious young girl, showcasing impressive skills for her years. She understands certain complex situations and can devise clever strategies, such as befriending Damian, the second son of Loid’s target, to aid in Loid’s mission. For example, she attempts to assist him with an art project and uses her dog, Bond, as a means to gain an invitation to his house after discovering his love for dogs through her telepathy. However, she sometimes fails to realize how her actions affect others, such as inadvertently making Damian dislike her more due to her lack of art skills or underestimating his feelings towards her.

One of Anya’s most notable qualities is her earnest desire to help Loid prevent war and achieve world peace, albeit in an innocent and childlike manner. She puts significant effort into getting closer to Damian, hoping it will assist Loid in his mission, often devising “plans” to foster their friendship.

Anya’s primary flaw lies in her tendency to focus on immediate desires or goals rather than seeing the bigger picture. Although she is eager to support Loid and excel academically, she often neglects her studies and does not fully understand how her impulsive actions may be perceived by others or their long-term consequences.

Her inclination to conceal her telepathy stems from both directives given by the facility’s doctors and a fear of social rejection and family disruption. This fear influences her tendency to act without considering the broader implications of her choices. For instance, she fails to recognize that revealing her ability to Loid could significantly aid him. Moreover, upon learning about Loid’s dangerous spy mission, she excitedly embraces the opportunity without fully comprehending the potential risks involved.

Despite her shortcomings, Anya’s intentions are often rooted in a genuine desire to help those around her, especially her adoptive parents, whom she assists in their respective jobs without their knowledge of her true capabilities. Her experiences in the facility and the instability of her foster homes have left her with deep-seated abandonment issues, driving her yearning for a loving family. This motivation encourages her to support Loid and Yor in nurturing their family bond. Anya is particularly sensitive to the fear of being replaced or left behind, with discussions about her “real” mother often evoking emotional responses.

Anya’s aversion to studying stems from her past experiences, where she was primarily trained to hone her telepathic abilities. She often relies on reading others’ minds for answers rather than engaging with her studies, which can backfire, especially when she misreads thoughts. Nevertheless, Anya remains relatively persistent, diligent, and optimistic despite her challenges.

While her telepathy allows her to form deep connections—such as calming a distressed cow or saving a drowning child—it also presents difficulties. Her instinctual reactions to the thoughts she picks up can lead her to appear eccentric or unhinged. Additionally, her dependence on her “gift” hampers her ability to function independently. Anya’s lack of situational awareness and social skills further complicates her interactions, leading to misunderstandings with her peers. Despite these struggles, she showcases a kind and empathetic nature.

Anya also has a playful, competitive side. She enjoys showcasing her accomplishments, such as proudly wearing a Stella Star she earned and requesting to be called “Starlight Anya” for a day. Her youthful exuberance and innocent pride make her character all the more relatable.

She struggles to comprehend complicated minds, such as those ofLoid. When confronted with people experiencing intense emotions, likeYuriandFiona, she experiences a sensation akin to heartburn. Additionally, Anya must maintain a certain proximity to her target in order to access their thoughts.

Her involuntary use of telepathy heightens her awareness of her environment.

It also allows her to detect the presence of her parents’ enemies.

She often receives single-digit scores on her tests and relies on her telepathy to navigate classes and exams. WithoutLoid‘s strict supervision, she is reluctant to study and struggles significantly during her Eclipsing phase. Even when motivated to study for midterm exams, she barely passes. Anya attempts to play a child-sized violin gifted by Loid, but her poor playing results in snapped strings.

Academic Performance:Anya’s academic abilities are subpar, as evidenced by her consistently low scores on tests atEden Academy. She tends to over-rely on her telepathy, especially when stressed, using it to answer homework questions and sometimes to cheat on tests. This academic struggle is compounded by the advanced material she is expected to learn, as well as her actual age being younger than she claims.

Lack of Control Over Telepathy:Anya has limited control over her telepathic powers, often leading her to involuntarily pick up on the thoughts of those around her. This lack of control can be overwhelming and disorienting.

However, over time, she has shown slight improvement; Loid reports that she can now jump over two vaulting boxes and skip rope five times in a row. Additionally, her throwing ability has improved, as she successfully threwYor‘s stiletto from one floor to another.
