Anne is about 5'6'' and has red hair. She is of a shorter and petite, but sturdy stature, and often has a child-like appearance despite being almost 30. She appears younger than she is, which doesn't bother her much, and comes in handy-- giving her a look of non-suspicion and innocence, which her department often take use of in undercover positions.
Personality: Anne is a typical woman, with a full-time job that takes much from her daily life. Not yet married, she has had a boyfriend for a year and a half now, though their relationship is still in a rather casual stage. She sees marriage and family in her future, but it appears far off, and she mainly spends her time in the workplace. A forensic analyst, she spends most of her time at a desk, but on the off-chance does travel to crime scenes or works closely with the FBI or the other members of her police department.
Anne has seen some gruesome stuff, but has the ability to distance herself and work past the emotions that come to rise when she sees butchered children or sobbing mothers. She has a soft, motherly soft spot for these kinds of people, but doesn't often lose her cool. Although she plans to have a large, loving home in the future, her job has made her feel more comforted than afraid- she feels safe in her community and apartment. As a forensic analyst, she has great attention to detail, and a strong, loyal connection to the rest of her team and police department. Mentioned before, there have been times where she went undercover for small cases, which wasn't very safe considering that she has nearly no training in combat or weaponry.
Bio:
Anne("Annie") grew up in the same city where she now works as a forensic analyst. Despite having only been in the field for 3 years so far, she has risen rather high in terms of authority and status due to her drive, skills and lack of personal life. She feels rather well-liked in her job, and while she does want to move up to detective or chief positions, she is in no hurry, and knows that if family were to come into the picture, she would most likely leave her employment entirely.
Anne's love for large families and sweet motherly figures spawned from her childhood. She lived in a humble home with three sisters, two younger and one older, and while her family could be seen as poor, nearly often relying on food-stamps or other aid to get by, neither she nor her siblings ever felt unhappy. This was in part due to their mother, Katherine, who was a sweet, energetic woman with a Southern accent smooth as honey. Annie still can't remember a day when her mom-who quit work to stay home- wasn't with her and her sisters, cooking large, Southern dinners, gardening, or decorating their crowded, two-bedroom home with yard sale antiques. Despite their financial difficulties, their home was always full of happiness and laughter. Peter, her father, worked long hours at a local butcher shop. He worked nearly daily, and usually his daughters would only see him on the rare, work-free Sunday or hear him coming home once they were already in bed. They often missed their dad, but were able to build a good relationship with him once their bedtimes extended past 8pm and they could spend time with him after work. Shortly after Anne moved out for college, Peter died from a stroke, leaving his family without a father/husband, but luckily with enough money to get by.
Once all four of her daughters left for college, Anne's mother reluctantly moved out of their childhood home. She sold it and instead bought a small apartment, just big enough for her to live comfortably with a little financial help from her children. Just a few blocks away from Anne's complex, they see each other often, and spend countless weekend nights just talking or sharing dinner. Katherine is Anne's rock and support, just as she always was for all of her daughters, and she is well taken care of by her children who couldn't live or breathe without her.
Notes: Not sure if we are doing this or not, but it was discussed that Anne could possibly be, as a last resort, used as a lure/bait for the serial killer. She's also going to work closely on this case with the others.
