Anne
Indecisiveness and inability to act. These were new among Anne's defaults. Could it be that life without the constant danger of being apprehended from one minute to another by the forces of order was having an adverse effect on her? She still felt the adrenaline surge when spotting the fight, still felt the blood pulsing in her veins at the prospect of a battle, but she had been unable to move.
Finally, once the battle was over and Tamora had introduced herself to the elf, Anne also stepped forward from her cover among the trees. To the left she could hear the bird, still following them, rustling among the leaves. She paid no heed to him, and introduced herself to the elf.
"My name is Anne. I am..." she paused for several, long seconds. "I honestly don't know what I'm doing in this world."
