Anya is a vampyre who has recently come to Havenhythe. She has a small, fanciful tent set up between the Shrine of Inanna and the Deserted Mine (immediately south of fairy ring code BKS), in southern Havenhythe.

History

Anya first arrived to Wendlewick a few weeks before the Adventurer was summoned by Inanna, and stayed secretive due to Havenhythe's history with vampyric creatures. She became friendly with a handful of patrons from the Burnt Lobster Tavern, whom she questioned about their history and culture, and avoided the consumption of human blood in favour of that of wild animals such as bears in the Highweald Forest, their dessicated remains catching the attention of Raz.

When the Adventurer set out to investigate the threat foreseen by Inanna, they investigated the rumours about Anya and the dead animals in the Highweald, which allowed them to deduce that she was a vampyre based on her physical description and the animals she left behind being completely drained of blood. Later, while searching for Rachel's missing sheep, they followed a blood trail leading into a strange cave, where what appeared to be a beating heart hanging from the ceiling attempted to enthrall them. Anya stepped in and advised them to keep their distance, quelling the heart's influence with her presence.

After introducing herself, Anya assured the Adventurer that she meant the people of Wendlewick no harm, and that her goal was to destroy the Sanguine heart, which was the source of the blight in the surrounding area. She explained that the Sanguine lured prey to feast upon their blood, growing stronger over time until none could resist its call, and that if left alone it would infest all of Havenhythe. While Anya did not deny that she could destroy the heart on her own, she believed it was more practical to teach the locals how to combat the Sanguine by themselves.

With that in mind, Anya insisted that they should first brew an elixir to protect the user from the Sanguine heart's sway. When the Adventurer requested Esther's assistance, Anya suggested she use the mourning lily flower she was carrying, which was poisonous to vampyres and toxic to the Sanguine. Esther analysed the sample flower and devised a prototype potion using local ingredients that mimicked the mourning lily's effects, after which Anya and the Adventurer tested it on the local fauna to find the appropriate dosage, finally succeeding after several attempts. With the antisanguine potion complete, Anya suggested that the Adventurer procure a weapon of pure silver, as only that would be strong enough to kill the heart, and decided to wait for them at the cave.

Once the Adventurer was able to forge a Havensilver greatsword, they returned to the cave to find Anya and the Wendlewick elders, who saw for themselves how dangerous the Sanguine was. While Adam expressed distrust of Anya since she was a vampyre, the Adventurer convinced him that working with her was necessary to protect Wendlewick from the Sanguine. With Zeke guarding the entrance, Anya and the Adventurer proceeded to enter the cave, where the Adventurer successfully weakened the Sanguine heart enough to kill it. The heart attempted to defend itself by enthralling them once more, but Anya became enraged upon hearing the heart's words and urged the Adventurer to finish it off.

With the threat of the Sanguine dealt with, the duo informed Zeke of their success, though Anya warned the Adventurer that the conflict had only just begun before returning to her camp on the outskirts of Wendlewick.

Trivia

• Anya is the first female vampyre seen outside of Morytania.
• During Hearts of Sanguine, Adam calls Anya a "vyre" and refers to her as "it". Anya claims to never have heard of the term, which would indicate she was not familiar with Darkmeyer - or Morytania entirely - where the term is commonplace.
  • This is reinforced in post-quest dialogue, where Anya claims to never have seen Morytania, and instead came from a separate, unnamed homeland.
  • However, Anya does seem to be familiar with the concept of the Vampyre Houses. Post-quest dialogue reveals she is also familiar with House Drakan and thinks lowly of them, believing that blood given willingly is of the highest quality. Based on her preferences for blood, Anya may hail from House Vitur.
  • Alternatively, three of her concept art designs bear the sigil of House Jovkai. Anya wears a mourning lily pinned to her chest as a "reminder" - and Lord Jovkai was killed by poison.
• The entity icon of Hearts of Sanguine is her parasol. The elegant parasol, reward from the quest, is based on hers, although Anya holds it in her left hand and the player holds it with their right.
• Anya folds her parasol during her walking animation, and hovers while moving in running speed.
• Anya disappears into a swarm of bats whenever she leaves during the quest, and when dismissed as a follower. When asked to follow the player though, she only disappears and reappears in puffs of smoke.
• Anya's character designer was Mod Zura and her visual designer was Mod Fox.
