Background / History

Anbi was born with the Beastification Curse after her hunter father contracted it while killing a werewolf during a noble hunt. Unable to safely return to Star Plum Town, he lived in the Twilight Forest with Anbi and her mother. After Anbi's mother died, he entrusted his cursed daughter to a close friend—Catherine's mother—before leaving to avenge his wife. Anbi grew up knowing that her father had left, but held onto the hope that he would return. 69 84

She was raised alongside Catherine as her non-biological younger sister. Because Star Plum Town feared Beastmen and the contagious curse, Anbi hid beneath a hood and endured isolation, bullying, and being called a monster. Her snow-white ears and bestial eyes made concealment necessary whenever she went outside. 8 11 91 252

After meeting Tang Qi, Anbi became his first enthusiastic listener. She brought him a razor so he would look more like a poet, asked him to repeat his tavern song, carefully memorized its lyrics, and promised him a taste of her homemade star plum wine. 5

During the Harvest Festival, townspeople accused Anbi of stealing the David family's star plums and bound her on an execution platform. Tang Qi exposed the lack of evidence and secured an official declaration of her innocence regarding the theft. However, Anbi later admitted that she had destroyed the orchard in retaliation for George David's bullying. Catherine destroyed Anbi's first barrel of wine to teach her that anger does not erase the consequences of her choices. 9 11 20 21

Anbi ultimately accepted responsibility for the orchard damage and resolved to apologize. Tang Qi renamed the lost first batch of wine “A Lesson,” a name Anbi embraced as a reminder of what she had learned. 21 23

While traveling through the Twilight Forest, Anbi learned that the spellcaster impersonating her father had killed him. She attempted to attack the necromancer in grief, but Catherine restrained her because she could not meaningfully harm such a powerful opponent. Later, Anbi rushed toward the enemy again when Tang Qi called on her to confront her blood enemy; she was severely injured by the necromancer's Chilling Touch but survived through Dawn's healing. 69 79 81

In Dragon Gold City, worsening Beastification led to Anbi's imprisonment alongside other Beastmen. There, Marian helped her confront her belief that she was only a burden to Catherine and Tang Qi. Anbi eventually returned to free Marian and the other Beastmen during Tang Qi's escape plan. 178 179 191

As the party fled Dragon Gold City, Anbi spotted Catherine and other familiar people but could not stop to say goodbye. Tang Qi explained that she remained at risk of arrest and promised that their separation would not be permanent. 193

During a Twin Moon Night, Anbi nearly lost herself to the curse. Tang Qi refused to simply knock her unconscious; instead, he helped her regain control and understand that her existence matters to those around her. This became a turning point in how she viewed herself, her curse, and her place in the group. 196 197

While hunting Serpent-Chicken Beasts with Shivana and Houke, Anbi drew on her rage but retreated for help when her companions were petrified. She sought Dawn's aid, and Dawn defeated the beasts. Anbi's experience with prey also made her willing to challenge the party's plans: before a later expedition, she warned Tang Qi that Houke's recklessness would jeopardize a stealth mission. 233 234 243

After Tang Qi continued toward the Southern Great Wall, Anbi accepted his arrangement for Wendy to take her home rather than insisting on accompanying him. While passing through Wheat Ear Town, she identified and captured Punk, a bard coerced into spying for Monka Battlecry's bandits. She then used a coin belonging to Monka to track the mercenaries to their cave hideout. 351 352 353

During the assault on Monka's mercenary company, Anbi ambushed a Spellcaster to stop Wendy from being held by Human Stasis, biting him hard enough to inflict Beastification. She subsequently attacked Monka himself and drained his vitality, but he caught her with his chain and slammed her into a tree, leaving her severely injured. 355

Later, Anbi was with Tang Qi's group when the Collector offered them rewards for recovering the Aether Prism. She chose a Ring of Free Action, not for herself but to give to Tang Qi. He gave her his Hunter's Collar in return, and she wore it as a bracelet. When Night Wind mocked the exchange, Anbi defended Tang Qi. 403

During the defense of Wind Sand Islet against fiends, Tang Qi entrusted Anbi with watching over his duplicate while he led the assimilated Beastfolk elsewhere. She accepted the task and promised not to cause trouble. 420

Appearance

Anbi is a small, twelve-year-old Beastman girl whose features become increasingly wolf-like as the curse intensifies. She initially conceals herself under a large hood, but her ears, eyes, claws, fangs, and fur make her identity difficult to hide. 5 11 197

• Snow-white, furry wolf ears 20
• Dark-brown vertical pupils 91
• Snow-white hair and growing white fur 125 236
• Sharp claws capable of tearing through soft armor and scales 137 246
• Fangs and a snow-white wolf head during severe Twin Moon transformations 69 197
• Tough Beastman skin that can withstand arrows scraping against it without injury 354
• Wears Tang Qi's Hunter's Collar as a bracelet after their exchange of gifts 403

Personality

Anbi is earnest, emotional, and straightforward. She commonly refers to herself in the third person and tends to state her feelings without subtlety, whether she is proudly declaring that she likes a song or accusing someone of being a bad person. 5 91

Years of prejudice left her insecure about her appearance and afraid of becoming a burden. She initially sees her eyes, instincts, and Beastman traits as ugly or monstrous, and her declining mental state worsens her transformation symptoms. 91 126 178

Despite those fears, Anbi is deeply loyal and protective. She values Catherine and Tang Qi as family, worries about causing them trouble, and repeatedly puts herself in danger to defend them. Her growing confidence does not erase her impulsiveness, but it allows her to make more deliberate choices in battle and in her relationships. 137 190 233 244

Anbi has become more willing to respect the decisions made for her safety, accepting Tang Qi's plan for her to return home even though she wanted to help him. Nevertheless, she remains fiercely suspicious of those who exploit or threaten others, and her protective aggression can lead her to make reckless attacks in combat. 351 352 355

She expresses affection for Tang Qi through gifts as well as words, choosing a magic ring for him and defending him when Night Wind mocks their exchange. When Tang Qi later gives her responsibility for his duplicate, she readily accepts the task. 403 420

Abilities & Skills

Beastification

Anbi's inherited Beastification Curse grants physical traits associated with a wolf-like Beastman, but threatens her sanity under emotional distress and the Twin Moons.

As a hunter's daughter, Anbi possesses practical tracking knowledge and extremely acute senses.

• Identifies scents with exceptional precision, including individual perfume notes 136

Relationships

• Catherine — Non-biological older sister and primary guardian. Catherine protects Anbi from others but holds her accountable when she acts cruelly or impulsively. 21 84 252
• Tang Qi Weinberg — Friend, mentor, and “big brother.” He clears her name, helps her process guilt and grief, and teaches her that she has value beyond being protected. He later arranges for Wendy to escort Anbi home while he travels to the Southern Great Wall. After they reunite, Anbi gives him a Ring of Free Action, receives his Hunter's Collar in exchange, and is entrusted with guarding his duplicate. 20 21 197 351 403 420
• Anbi's father — An unnamed hunter who contracted the Beastification Curse, passed it to Anbi, and later died at the hands of the necromancer impersonating him. 69 84
• Marian — Fellow Beastman and orphanage dean who helps Anbi understand belonging, mutual need, and why she is not a burden to her family. 178 179

• Yiwu — A baby dragon Anbi learns to handle gently. Caring for Yiwu helps her reconsider her own beast-like eyes and nature. 91
• George David and Hogg — Boys who bullied Anbi in Star Plum Town. George apologizes for falsely calling her a monster; Anbi later retaliates against both boys after they continue provoking her. 20 113

• Arthur — Priest and former acquaintance from the Twilight Forest. Anbi seeks his knowledge of the bandits around Wheat Ear Town and assists his group by tracking Monka's mercenaries. 351 353
• Hubble Hall — Companion in the Wheat Ear Town investigation who acknowledges the importance of Anbi's tracking ability in locating the bandit hideout. 353
• Punk — A local bard and coerced spy for Monka Battlecry. Anbi exposes and captures him after deducing that he was the likely informant in Wheat Ear Town. 352 353
• Monka Battlecry — Mercenary leader and enemy. Anbi tracks his group, attacks him during the battle at their hideout, and drains his vitality before he severely injures her. 353 355
