Anne Savisa Boonchuy is the main protagonist of Amphibia, who is portrayed by Brenda Song.
Background[]
She is a 13-year-old Thai-American human girl from Los Angeles, California, who is transported to Amphibia alongside her friends Sasha and Marcy by a magical chest known as the Calamity Box.
10 years after her adventures concluded, Anne became a herpetologist at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. Specializing in amphibians, she channels her sustained love for Amphibia by designing an exhibit resembling the lily pad-shaped island. She is affectionately known by visiting children as the “Frog Lady”. Although she fell out of touch with Sasha and Marcy over the years, the trio eventually reunited in time to celebrate Anne's 23rd birthday together.
Personality[]
She is a self-assured and fearless teen with the spirit of an adventurer.
Trivia[]
- Anne is the first Thai-American protagonist in an animated series in history.
- Anne is shown to be highly addicted to her phone, with Polly noting she never goes anywhere without her phone in "A Night at the Inn". She is more grateful to Wally for saving her phone than her life in "Wally and Anne". A brief comment of hers in "Taking Charge" suggests this addiction is due to her phone being the only link to her life back home.
- On a related note, it is strongly implied that Anne is very responsible with the use of her phone, since she spent days in Amphibia with her phone still at full charge until Hop Pop drained it all in the episode "Taking Charge".
- Anne's blue-gem powered form is visually similar to the Super Saiyan Blue form present in the Dragon Ball franchise. However, the form being triggered by anger makes her blue-powered form more similar to the original Super Saiyan form.
- Anne was originally envisioned as being boring on Earth before being reinvented by the crew. Her personality was loosely based on Pacifica Northwest from Gravity Falls and Matt Braly's grandmother when she was a younger.
- Matt Braly revealed on an AMA that Anne's design was slightly influenced by Pepper Ann, as Braly was a fan of the series.
- Anne's last name "Boonchuy" roughly translates to "one who encourages or performs good deeds." This fits her character as she attempts to help the people of Amphibia.
- Anne has shown a number of interesting talents over the course of the series such as cooking, dancing, dunking, and sewing. It is implied that she learned some of these skills either through her family or her friends.
- In "Reunion", it is revealed that Anne used to hate frogs to the point that Sasha would make fun of her for it and try to gross her out.
- When Anne is being resurrected, the Guardian says they can wait "78 more years" before letting Anne take their place, implying Anne will die at the age of 91.
- Anne was the first Disney Channel protagonist to actually die and get resurrected.
- Unlike Sasha and Marcy, Anne's near-death experience in the season finale involves actual death, but gets resurrected later when the Guardian makes a copy of her.
