Ana (alternatively Anna)[1] is one of the main characters in Mother. She lives with her parents in a building in the small and cold town of Snowman.

Physical appearance

Ana weighs 36 kg, is 143 cm tall and has blood type B.[2] She has blond hair, which is tied up in two bunches on the opposite sides of her head by the use of red ribbons, making her hair end right above her ears. After joining Ninten's and Lloyd's party, she also wears a hat, which she can be seen wearing for the remainder of the game. In-game, the hat appears to be pink and rounded, although it has taken on various different appearances in merchandise-related artwork. Both of her bunches do additionally point backwards when wearing the hat. Ana has blue eyes, and wears a pink dress-like garment with a round, white collar, being visible near her throat. She also wears a pair of red ballet flats and a pair of white socks.

She shares some similarities with Paula, one of the main characters in EarthBound, whom likely is based on her; which cosmetically mainly are their clothing and eye- and hair colors. They do otherwise also share the same trait of having relatively low Offense- and Defense stats, which is compensated by their ability to utilize a variety of PSI moves.

Personality and other characteristics

Ana is described as a kind-hearted and sympathetic individual, to the extent where she even is considered to be the pride of Snowman by the inhabitants of the town. Her zodiac sign is the Capricorn,[3] and she enjoys playing piano and organ, usually practicing pieces by Mozart, which she thinks of as relaxing. Ana is implied to be religious, due to her liking for the Bible, being one of her most treasured possessions, and that her father is the pastor of the town. She is often referred to as "Little Mother" by the younger children of the town, due to her high grades in school and the occasions where she teaches them songs and reads from "The Prince of Stars", being a favorite book of hers, when gathering for sunday school at church. Her kind personality is explained to be due to the positive approach from her parents and the residents of the town, which she was given an advantage to, due to the role her father had in the society. Her benevolence is for example shown during one occasion when there was a frog dissection at her school; Ana's concern for the frogs did as a result lead to her subconsciously freeing them, implied to be through the use of PSI. She and Ninten are the only human characters in the game who are able to use PSI, though Ana possesses a larger quantity of moves and is also the only one that is able to utilize offensive PSI attacks; although her Offense- and Defense stats are worse than any of the other party members. One negative property that is mentioned concerning Ana is her lack of courage.[4]

Among Ana's favorite objects are her piano, her Bible, her stamp collection, her envelope collection, and her record entitled "Tadaima" by Akiko Yano. When it comes to the piano, she considers the melody of one to be another way of writing. During one occasion, where her teacher had given the class homework, Ana asked the teacher if she was allowed to do the assignment on piano, leaving the teacher confused. She got the Bible as a baby, and even though she couldn't understand the words written within, she could feel the purity it contained. The book became of even more value to her when she learned that the text "For our newborn Ana" was written on the last page of it. Her ribbon is something she usually has tied up in her hair, though she occasionally wears a hat during special excursions. Her stamp collection consists of used stamps given away to her by her classmates in sunday school, which she keeps in a round candy can, and the stamps themselves help her in her volunteering. Her envelope collection is however something she has for herself; she loves to send letters, and due to her finickity concerning the choice of envelope, the time spent on writing the letter itself is almost shorter than the time spent on picking envelope. Her "Tadaima" record by Akiko Yano did she get as a gift from her penpal Yoshie, who lives in Japan. She usually listens to it after getting home from school, even though she doesn't understand Japanese.[5]

History

Warning! Spoiler warning: this article or section may contain major plot or ending details! Proceed with caution.

She lives in Snowman in a chateau with her parents. However, her mother had gone missing one day, and was kidnapped by Giegue. Ana's hat had also gone missing sometime, and ended up being found by an old lady at Reindeer's train station.

Ana had known about Ninten through various clairvoyant dreams she had. She knew that he would eventually come to her house, to return her hat that he had found in Reindeer, and that they would end up traveling with each other. She had vowed to her father that she would eventually return with her mother, and set off with her new journey.

At a cabin in Mt. Itoi, Ana confesses her romantic feelings for Ninten, and the two dance with each other. However, they are interrupted by a giant robot, who attacks them and Teddy. Everyone is saved by Lloyd just in time, although Teddy had suffered major injuries and cannot continue to travel with Ana and Ninten.

After Giegue is defeated, she is reunited with her mother, and the two return to their chateau in Snowman. Ana keeps in contact with Ninten by writing letters to him often, and remain good friends. Template:Sectstub
