Anne’s official description reads as follows: “Cursed by the Skull Heart to never grow up, Annie has been alive for centuries. Over that time, sheâs made it her personal quest to stop the Skull Heart once and for all. To that end, she has acquired numerous skills and items, including her remote parasite, Sagan. Even performing on television works to further her goals as she hopes to educate the world about the dangers of the Skull Heart.
“Fiercer than she looks, bravest in the cosmos, she is ANNIE OF THE STARS!â”
As stated in the FAQ, Hidden Variable collaborated closely with the whole team at Lab Zero to create Anne. And while the teams “would LOVE to have Annie simply be the first of many newSkullgirlscharacters,” according to them “a lot will depend on how well her launch onMobileand2nd Encoreperforms.”
