Anne Faulkner is a 20-year-old university student and part-time hostess at Club CANDY, presenting as a fashionable individual with long pink hair. They often wear gender-fluid outfits blending feminine elements like skirts with masculine accessories, featuring a distinctive black-to-pink gradient line tattoo on their right thigh.
Their background includes a strict upbringing under a traditional mother who enforced rigid gender expectations, compelling Anne to conform as a "perfect prince." This resulted in deep-seated trauma symbolized by #TheSoundofScissors and #ForcedToBeAPrince. At 15, their parents divorced; at 16, they relocated to Japan and met Allen Sugasano and Hajun Yeon, forming the hip-hop unit BAE. Anne left home at 18 upon university enrollment to work at Club CANDY.
Identifying as non-binary with the statement "Man or woman, does it matter?", they use they/them pronouns and reject societal binaries. Professionally, their MC name is "anZ," performing with a Phantometal finger bracelet activated by kissing it to generate emotional illusions during rap battles.
Anne's personality merges cheerfulness and approachability with a quick temper when provoked. Despite occasional irritability, they prioritize others' well-being over their own. Their demanding schedule balances university classes, extensive makeup routines, and dual shifts at Club CANDY, including late-night visits to Allen during his music composition sessions.
Key relationships include a bond with Allen and Hajun marked by frequent arguments rooted in mutual care. Anne admires Hajun's cooking and deliberately annoys his reserved demeanor. They interact with Satsuki Ito, who harbors an unrecognized crush, and respect employer Iori Suiseki.
Personal preferences include a love for shopping, aversion to spicy food, and notoriously poor cooking skills. They smoke and drink, with makeup expertise as a noted skill. Their future goal centers on becoming "the best version of myself that I acknowledge."
