Anna (Sonic 06) Headcanons
Mar. 29th, 2026 05:15 pmPart One of random, headcanon-adjacent details to include in Sonelise fics. Because it feels like a lot of the fics out there don't have as much development of Soleanna and how it may impact the characters.
When they first meet, Sonic assumes Anna is Elise's maid, as opposed to her lady-in-waiting. When Anna sternly corrects him, Sonic corrects himself—then he shrugs it off. He figures that's like the top maid, right? Sonic doesn't mean any harm by it. But Anna takes her duty to the princess — and formality and respect in general — very seriously. She has a bit of a one-sided dislike of Sonic from that moment on.
I myself only learned the difference between a maid and a lady-in-waiting relatively recently. Funnily enough, the wiki actually refers to Anna and her counterpart as "maids" in the opening cutscene.
I haven't played the mission where Anna appears, so to my knowledge she doesn't get much development in-game.
According to the wiki, she is knowledgeable about Soleanna and its history. She also gives guidance (like any good NPC) to Sonic.
I've only read two fics where she actually plays a significant role in the plot. In the first, she was characterized as cruel and conniving towards Elise, and in the second, she was stern, overprotective, but ultimately caring.
The latter interpretation could serve any narrative really well. Control doesn't always come in the form of harsh intentions, but it can stifle nonetheless.
