Personality
Anya is a very calm person. She is a bit different from Ollie, she seems to talk a little bit and mumbles more often because she gets nervous during live streams.

Even so, Anya is also the type of person who is easy to joke around at certain times. Sometimes, her sense of humor is a bit demeaning to others such as when she called Ollie a cutting board and made her height a comparison between her senpais as in Gura, Shion, and Rushia.

Anya is also often categorized as a yandere girl by some of her fans because of her sadistic comments and thoughts on events in the Mad Father game stream. It was made by her fans that when Anya played horror games, they were not afraid of ghosts, but afraid of Anya herself. In fact, when playing horror games, Anya typically scoffs off the scares as if they're sunshine and rainbows.
