Background
Anne is the daughter of Count Brittany and grew up at 58 Sixth Avenue in the Val-d'Oise District. She attended Gorgia University, where she became a Dream Walker in her first year; by her third year, she was known as a cold beauty who did not date male students. 12 26 76 428
Her first meeting with Charlotte Mecklen began with a mistake. Believing him responsible for the death and dishonor of her aunt, Mrs. Yang Mills, Anne entered his dream to frighten him with Dream Arts. Once convinced of his innocence, she formally apologized and accepted Charlotte's offer to help restore her aunt's reputation. 12 13
