Background / History

Anne is the daughter and heir of Duke Swinton, Grand Duke of the Northern Region, and Lady Bridget, daughter of the Moria Empire’s Southern Province governor. The Swinton Family is a conservative, traditional noble house with authority over the Northern Region’s three provinces. 6 26

She is descended from Lady Vizes, an ancestor credited with killing the Fallen Angel Ice Dragon Gema and later ascending to the Divine Kingdom as a servant of the Holy Light Goddess. 6 59

Anne’s life changes when she and Earth university student Lu Xing begin exchanging souls and bodies. While Lu Xing is forced to navigate her lessons, etiquette, servants, and social obligations on the Magic Continent, Anne wakes in Lu Xing’s body on Earth and enthusiastically studies its culture, technology, government, and daily life. 3 6 26

Appearance

Anne is a petite, fair-skinned noble lady with a youthful, lively appearance. Her usual image combines elaborate dresses and enchanted accessories with the polished presentation expected of a duke’s heir. 4 27

Personality

Anne is energetic, curious, affectionate, and highly sociable. She rapidly adapts to unfamiliar environments, approaching Earth’s technology and culture with relentless questions rather than fear. Her interest extends beyond novelty: she asks about taxation, production, infrastructure, poverty, water supplies, and the living conditions of ordinary people. 6 58

Though raised as a noble lady, Anne is more interested in learning, inventing, and making friends than conforming quietly to expectations. She can socialize comfortably with noblewomen, mages, classmates, and even people outside her usual social circle, such as mercenary Alicia Lloyd. 67 99

Anne is also playful and mischievous. She enjoys role-playing games, pranks, dressing up, and involving Lu Xing in her ideas, but becomes serious when her family, the Northern Region, or vulnerable people need help. 110 144 168 179
