Anne

 (J, J) is a character in Ousama Ranking and its anime adaption. Anne the Knight is a loyal member of Queen Hilling's personal guard.

Appearance
Anne is a tall, broad-shouldered woman with light-red hair cut into a short bob. She wears grey plate armor that includes a full-face helmet emblazoned with a 1. Like all other knights in Hilling's personal guard, she wears black and red bloomers with gold detailing.

Personality
Anne is loyal, strategic, and competent. She appears to be a more experienced knight than her compatriots in Hilling's personal guard, and may be the second-in-command after Drushi. Little else is known about her.

Plot
As one of Hilling's personal guard, Anne defended the queen when she was attacked by Miranjo and the Underworld prisoners. Anne quickly distinguished herself as an especially-competent fighter, and was largely able to keep up with the Heavenly King Drushi as the two subdued Miranjo's attacking hellhounds. Unfortunately when Ouken joined the fight Anne found herself facing off against the master swordsman. She was quickly defeated, only barely surviving with the help of Hilling's healing magic.

Expert Knife-Thrower
Anne's preferred weapons are short, gripless, diamond-shaped throwing knives similar to kunai. She is deadly-accurate with them, and was able to slay multiple hellhounds on her own with just her projectiles.
