Ann is a kindhearted feminine woman who works as an amateur model. She is objectified by other students in the beginning of the game because of her beauty and stereotypes/exoticism associated with her being half Caucasian, and is isolated from others because of this. She is close friends with Shiho Suzui who she helps when she is injured. Both Ann and Shiho are forced to endure the unwanted sexual advances of Suguru Kamoshida. She becomes a founding member of the Phantom Thieves and helps infiltrate Kamoshida's palace, after which she and the others resolve to take on corrupt adults. She is a quarter American with an American father and has lived overseas before, and speaks fluent English. She has mediocre grades.[citation needed]
