• Aendri Shasos'Shol (father)
• Melissa Boten (mother)

Anna was born during YE 22, on Yamatai, the product of a liaison between Aendri and Melissa during one of his stops on the planet in between jobs. Aendri was unaware of this fact, and in fact accepted a job shortly after Anna's conception that put him coming into a different port of entry. Since both Melissa and Aendri thought nothing would come of their relationship, she let contact with him go, and thus had a child as a single mother with no way to contact the father.

Despite this, Anna had a very nice childhood. Her mother was a very successful artist, and provided for them quite well. Around the beginning of YE 28, shortly after Anna's sixth birthday, her mother moved them to Tatiana, thinking that it would be a much nicer place to raise a child. Thanks to this, Anna has spent a lot of time outdoors, and grew up enjoying both friends and nature.

When the NMX attacked the planet, Anna was evacuated along with a number of her friends from their school, but her mother was out of town, working on a commission, and wasn't aware of the attack until it was too late. In the time following the fall of the planet, and the discovery of her mother's fate, the SAoY helped her locate her father, this process becoming much simpler once he signed back on as an instructor for the latest class at Fort Ready. Once they had a free spot on a ship headed that way, they sent her to the facility, along with a message from them explaining what the situation was, asking him to contact them to confirm her arrival and identity.

Anna landed at the location of the Fort Ready training facility, and waited for her father to come down to meet her. She's sticking with him wherever he goes right now.

Anna is very advanced in math for her age, studying about two years ahead of her age group. She still needs help with it fairly often, but has a natural talent for math.

Anna is a very physically active child, enjoying playing with her friends and sports. She's definitely the kid you want on your team when you're picking sides.

Anna is decently knowledgeable about art, though she is not too talented in it herself. She has spent enough time around her mother while she was working to have a much more mature eye for art then most children her age.

Anna is fluent in Yamataian, and has shown a natural proficiency for languages, encouraged by her liking of people and talking. Her handwriting, though childish, is clear and (usually) correct.

Instead of following in her mother's footsteps, Anna took up the study of the guitar, liking the popularity generally associated with it, as well as the music that went with the instrument. Though not proficient, per se, she is still improving her playing, and is more talented then might be expected of her age.

Though she was never allowed to cook, Anna got used to helping her mom out in the kitchen, getting things ready for cooking, and setting things up so her mother could get done faster. The only recipes she really knows are mac n' cheese and grilled cheese, but she does know her way around a kitchen, how to stay out from underfoot, and enjoys helping out with cooking.
