Background / History

Anne Hathaway graduated from the Lord Wizard Academy of the Imperial Central Academy. Seventy-five years before Wayne’s awakening, she was assigned to the south as part of the Atlantis Empire’s expansion and opened the territory that became the Rose Marquisate. Her future academy assignments align with the south, giving her a long-term interest in promising local Lord Wizards. 5

Twenty years before the present story, Anne’s promotion to marquis was celebrated across the Imperial Capital; the city was covered in roses, and her name remained displayed over the capital for seven days. Alongside the Highland Flower, Golden Dragon Princess, she became known as one of the Southern Twin Stars and a major figure admired by girls born in the past century. 47

As ruler of Rose Territory, Anne recruited Wayne’s knight father and metal-element wizard mother after their academy graduations. When they died during pioneering operations, she extended preferential protection to Wayne and other descendants of meritorious Rose Territory personnel. 1

Anne personally presides over Rose City’s Awakening Day. After Wayne awakens dual top-tier spirit and ice-element talents—the same combination she possesses—she singles him out for special treatment, takes him on a dragon procession through Rose City, and begins calling herself his “Big Sister.” 3 5

She views Wayne as an unusually valuable long-term investment: he is a native descendant of Rose Territory’s meritorious families, shares her talents, and is likely to be assigned to the southern expansion region after graduation. She gives him a top-grade attribute-less magic crystal, access to her bank account through a supplementary card, and her communication number. 5 7

Appearance

Anne is presented as an imposing noble wizard, typically marked by the Rose Marquisate’s symbolism and accompanied by dragons. She is renowned throughout the empire for her beauty, influence, strength, and achievements. 2 8

• Wears wizard robes bearing a Rose Medal during the Awakening Day ceremony. 2
• Wore a light-purple silk robe while receiving Wayne at Rose Manor. 7
• Appeared in light armor during her spiritual-power projection call with Wayne. 43
• Her presence and reputation are associated with roses; the Imperial Capital once celebrated her promotion with a city-wide sea of roses. 47

Personality

Anne is playful and habitually teases Wayne, especially over his resource-focused behavior and his decision to call her “Big Sister.” Despite this lighthearted manner, she is observant, politically experienced, and capable of assessing the value of people and alliances quickly. 5 7 10

Her investment in Wayne is calculated rather than sentimental, but she is genuinely protective of his growth. She gives him direct advice on cultivation, followers, sprites, and dragons; praises his composure in negotiations; and remains proud of his rapid advancement. 6 10 11 43

Anne is notably colder toward most outsiders, as seen in her restrained manner with General Deli. However, she values loyalty, potential, and Rose Territory’s native descendants, and she treats Wayne more like a younger family member than an ordinary investment. 7 10

“Words and smiles—are the cheapest things in this world. You may remember them, but do not be moved by them!” 5
