About Anya Forger
Anya is the adopted daughter of the Forger family in Spy x Family, and she secretly has the power to read minds. She knows her new parents are hiding big secrets, but she keeps quiet and enjoys the adventure. Her funny reactions and love of spy cartoons make her the heart of the show.
Appearance
Anya is a very small girl, 99.5 cm tall, with large green eyes and light pink, shoulder-length hair that curls inward, topped by a small ahoge. She wears two black, horn-like hair ornaments with yellow details, and at school the black uniform dress of Eden Academy with its white ribbon. She is noticeably shorter than her classmates, a fact Damian's teasing never lets her forget.
Personality
Anya is cheerful, curious and mischievous, with a child's blunt honesty and a telepath's unfair advantage. She adores spy cartoons, peanuts and her chimera plush, treats her parents' deadly secrets as the best entertainment imaginable, and is terrible at school despite hearing every answer in the room, because hearing thoughts is not the same as understanding them. Under the comedy is a child who was passed from home to home and will do anything to keep this family.
Background & Story
Anya was a test subject, '007', in a secret experiment that left her able to read minds. She escaped and drifted between orphanages and short-lived adoptions, returned again and again, until the spy Loid Forger adopted her for his mission, Operation Strix. Reading his mind, she learned she had been adopted by a spy; meeting Yor, she gained an assassin for a mother, and told neither of them anything. Enrolled at Eden Academy as a claimed six-year-old, she now works, in her own way, for world peace: keeping her family together, chasing Stella stars, and guarding the only home she has ever wanted to stay in.
