Anemone

Anemone (アネモネ) is a soldier of the United Federation, as well as an artificial Humanoid Coralian.

She is the pilot of the Nirvash typeTheEND. Anemone is regularly accompanied by her strange and overweight pet badger, Gulliver. Dewey Novak assigns Dominic Sorel to be her caretaker, so that he can monitor her condition as his plans develop.

Background

Anemone's true name is unknown, she was born as a normal human and lived a happy life with her parents until ten years before the main story takes place.

When she was only 7 years old, in the aftermath of The First Summer of Love and several civil wars broke out, her parents died and Anemone was struck with the Desperation Disease. She was found by the Federation military and taken in to be a human military experiment. After the discovery of humanoid Coralians, the military sought to create their own artificial humanoid Coralians and Anemone became the first subject to survive the horrific experiments, as the rest of the subjects died. As a result of the experiments, her hair turned pink, her face was constructed to resemble the original humanoid Coralian, she has the eyes of a Coralian, and she had developed a mental connection to the Scub Coral, but left her physically and mentally unbalanced.

Personality

Anemone is known to be a callous, moody and violent girl towards others, prone to violent tantrums. When not under the effects of the neurological stimulant drugs, Anemone is often prone to violent tantrums, and is very fearful at times when told to carry out a mission with TheEND. She is willing to do anything to please Dewey even if it is at the cost of her own life, and treats Dominic with contempt due to her belief that he doesn't understand what she is going through. She holds an unconcealed hatred towards Eureka and is determined to defeat her, along with the Nirvash and Renton. She never hesitates to back down from a mission, no matter how dire the situation is if it is what Dewey wants. However, the later part of the series reveals that she is in fact a lonely and mentally damaged girl who desperately wants to live a normal life and find someone to love and love her in return. That person turns out to be Dominic and while she wants to be happy with him, in her deranged mind, she thought he would never love her for what she is and was intent on completing her final suicide mission, possibly intending on dying in it, until she was reunited with Dominic and able to reconcile with him and her confused feelings. At the end of the series, due to her being free from Dewey and no longer being drugged, she becomes more pleasant and friendly.
