CHARACTER FACTS
» Name: Anna
» Canon: Supernatural
» Reference: SPN Wiki and Angel Lore specifically.

» Canon Point: 4x10 - Heaven and Hell (Waiting in the barn for Castiel and Uriel)
» Gender: 'Female'.

Seeing as Anna is technically an angel, she has no specific gender. Angels are quite obviously genderless, bodyless, more of a spectre or an embodiment of energy, rather than anything similar to human. However, seeing as Anna's current vessel is female, we'll say she's a woman.


» Age: Millennias old. Though she looks about mid-twenties.

CHARACTER INTERPRETATION
» Appearance: Here and here.

Anna is a (relatively well done dye job) ginger, which is probably one of her more striking features. Bright green eyes, and a small, thin sort of stature. She's pretty though, filled out in the right places. A bit on the short side, coming about 5'6 ish, with heeled boots on.


» Orientation:

Angels have no concept of sexual orientation. Gender is regardless and has no real meaning to the Host. However, Anna's spent quite a lot of time as a human. She's grown for, presumably, a preference of men-folk, but that certainly doesn't mean she'll turn down a lady, either. Especially not now with her angel-brains reinstated. Gender will have no meaning, aside from having fancy 'perks' in the body department. So safe to say, she's generously bisexual/polyamorous.


» Personality

With her newly remembered Celestial memories, Anna's persona has gone through a bit of an overhaul. Where Anna Milton had been just a clueless, regular human to the world of the supernatural, Anna the Angel is anything but. Any visible worry or timidness flew out the door as soon as she woke from the hypnotic trance that afternoon in the Panic Room. Almost immediately she takes on a stronger than had ever been shown on screen to that point. Anna has a bit of a take-charge type of attitude. If something needs dealt with, it gets dealt with; she was defenseless, putting the others in danger simply by being near them, knowing them. So she takes the most logical option, and decides to seek out her Grace. To return to Angel status, the one thing she never wanted to do.

"Don't be afraid. I'm not like the others."

While Anna might very much be an Angel, or a Graceless one, at this point, she's still as far from her family's stereotype as you can get. She's lived twentyfive years as a human, grown and learned how to feel, how to act, how to think for herself. How to be a human.

One key thing that sets Anna apart from the rest of the Angels, is her ability to forgive. To not just say it, but to know what it feels like, to recognize it. She forgives Dean for choosing his brother's life over her own; she knows what sort of decision that would have been. She could never blame him for it. When Castiel tries to apologize for her inevitable death, she calls him on it; he wouldn't know the feeling. Angels weren't allowed to feel, but she did.

While becoming human granted her the free will she longed for, all the flaws of humanity came with that shipping and handling. Anna is stubborn when she sets her mind to something, and that sort of behaviour is eventually what aids in her death.

Another note to make, is that Anna is shown, even as an Angel, unafraid to lie. Even to the face of another Angel, she will fib or white lie and manipulate to get what she wants, to keep her goal (and life) intact. Anna may be mirrored against Lucifer once or twice; both having disobeyed, left Heaven because of their beliefs, but they couldn't be more opposite. Opposing poles, so to speak. Where Lucifer wished obliteration of the humans, wished everything perfect, with only Angels left to live as they pleased... Anna wanted to be apart of those broken, flawed children. It would be unsurprising if Anna had learned to lie long before venturing into humanity.

"So, what, you're just gonna take some divine bong hit, and, shazam, you're Roma Downey?"

She's self sacrificing for starters, willing to give up what she'd always wanted to keep both herself and her friends, by proxy, safe. Heaven wants her dead, and Hell just wants her; a free access point to listen in on Angel Radio. Angel or no, Anna doesn't wish for the Apocalypse. She doesn't want the end of the world, for everything to be laid to waste, just because of an older brother's Satanic Temper Tantrum.

"I know. But when you can, you have people that want to help. You are not alone."

And yet through all of this, even while Anna has spent the last two and a half decades running around as a human, she still holds true to the long lived ways of an Angel. To help guide humanity, to listen to prayers and follow God's orders. She might be a rebel, but there are some things that can't be escaped.

She cares for humanity, more than most of her siblings did anymore. Loves everything about them. From their horrible feelings of pain and anguish, to the bliss of love, sex and chocolate cake. Anna had yearned after them, their free will for choice, emotion, everything. The one thing an Angel was never allowed to have. Being 'Perfect' isn't all it's cracked up to be, and Anna just so happened to have the balls to follow her heart.

"The father you love. You think he wants this? You think he'd ask this of you? You think this is righteous?"

It's hinted at thoughout the series, very subtly, that Anna may have lost her faith a long time ago. "We take it on faith, which we're killed if we don't have." Anna fell, not only for her longing of free will and humanity, but because her faith had waned. An unknowable Father, someone she'd never met face to face, never heard speak or had any real proof that he even existed.

With no God to help out when you need it most, to hope your prayers reach, what else are you left with but yourself? To take manners into her own hands is something Anna often does. Even after she regains her Grace, Anna is left on her own, on the run. The Angels still had orders to kill her or hand her over to the higher-ups. Where was an Angel to go, if not back to Heaven? So she hides, she runs, she fights on her own, protecting herself when no one else will lend a hand. She has very little trust left in anyone of her family, the last strands eventually torn and thrown in her face with Castiel's betrayal.

She may have no trust in her family any longer, but she still cares for them, loves them; it still hurts when they turn on her.

Character's Name: Anna Milton
Character's Age: ? - 1985, 1985 - 2010 (Anna ceased being an angel and was reborn in '85 as a 'human', or angel without her grace. It's assumed she's been around since angels were first created.)

Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:
Human
Abnormal strength, specifically when she feels threatened.

Flashes of memories or unexplained knowledge of things she can't explain. IE: Enochian (angel language) symbols or spells/words that she knows but doesn't know where from.

Angel Radio; she can hear the voices of angels, their true voices. This is a one-sided thing.

Telekenisis; to a lower extent, she is able to move things with her mind. This only comes out when she feels threatened or scared.

Preternatural Senses; She is able to see the true face of a demon, rather than be fooled by the vessel they're wearing. This probably extends to Reapers, Hellhounds, etc..


Angelic Abilities
Telekinesis - Some form of it. Moving objects, even people on occasion. The larger the object, the more energy it takes. This is toned own considerably after Grace, as it's mainly a defense mechanism whilst she's human.

Flight - Every Angel has wings. They cannot be seen or felt, though on occasion, they can have their shadow cast. When an Angel is killed, the imprint of their wings are charred into the area around them. Anna, like the rest of her family, can use these wings to fly. The speed in which she does, however, makes it impossible to call 'flight', as to the naked eye, it looks more like teleporting. Long distances, short distances, etc..

Affect the Physiology of Living Things - To a degree. She's never shown to use it on-screen, but other Angels such as Zachariah, have taken away a human's lungs, given them stomach cancer, caused internal bleeding, etc.. It's assumed that most Angels can do this, though not all of them choose to, and considering Anna's rank was probably up there with Zach, it's likely she can do this as well.

Shapeshift - Sort of. She can alter her voice, and probably change her appearance to a degree. She's no Gabriel or Lucifer, but that's not to say she can't do it at all.

Semi-omniscience - Most Angel's seem to have knowledge of many things they shouldn't. Reading minds, for instance, though they can choose when or when not to. They also seem to be able to sense where anyone is at any time. They can be prayed to, able to hear anything said to them, no matter where they are.

There are exceptions of course, such as if/when sigils are used. They may physically, mentally or spiritually keep out an angel from certain premises, and even someone's mind. Generally they don't speak into someone's mind like telepathy might work, considering their mental voice tends to bleed ears and shatter glass. But they can, however, speak through dreams. (See DreamWalking)

Preternatural Senses - She can see things that human eyes can't. Spirits, Enochian sigils, Reapers, probably hellhounds and Demons true faces.

Angel Radio - She can sense her family, and they her. While human, she heard their thoughts only, but once she's back on the Grace-dar, they'll be able to hear her as well. She can recognize her family whilst they occupy a vessel, probably able to see their grace and signature rather than simply the face of their human meat suit.

Dream Walk - Every Angel seems able to do this. It's especially useful if there's no vessel available. They can appear within a dream to whomever they choose, to communicate. This works especially well when the person they're in contact with is hidden from Angels. (ie: the Enochian sigils carved into Sam and Dean's ribs leave them invisible to any Angel's awareness).

Physical Strength - And how. Anna has easily thrown a full grown man clear across a garage before. Thrown Dean Winchester through a foot of cement brick wall and hucked a woman into a car so hard the front window went concave. Superhuman strength, if you will. Speed would fall along side this, but that accounts to their flight. Basically, she's got the strength of say, Hercules, at her disposal. Any use of it, while in the SPN world would be an endless resource, in the Port? I'm assuming it would take a massive toll on her. Especially with how she's already pretty beat tired and post-tortured.

Invulnerable - Angels are damn hard to kill. Only two things can really kill them off in the end, but that doesn't mean they cannot feel pain. Another Angel, or an Angelic Blade are the only things that can kill an Angel. On the downside, they are vulnerable to Enochian Banishing Sigils. While it smarts, being ripped from your current position by the feathers, it doesn’t maim. There seems to be a wait time before they can return to the place they were banished from.

Ressurection/Healing - She can repair herself instantly. Whether she be dirty, injured, clothing torn or simply wind-blown. She can revert her appearance, internally and not, to it's original state. This goes for working on others, as well. However. if her Grace itself is weakened, then healing herself, or anyone else, will be difficult, if not (in some cases) impossible.

Weapons: Her only physical weapon is the angelic blade that almost all angels seem to carry in times of battle or war. It is the only physical weapon that can kill another angel. Hers was lost when she initially Fell from Heaven.

**AS A NOTE** All of these can be toned down.

Point in Canon: 5.13 “The Song Remains the Same” (Anna has landed in the past, but before she has found John and Mary Winchester)

Character Personality:

Human ♥ Anna grew up in a christian family, and was likely raised under the 'do unto those as you would have them do unto you' vibe. She is more than likely to come off as 'crazy' though, which unfortunately contradicts the 'normal' that she really is. Hearing voices (angels speaking enochian), knowing about the Apocolypse from them, saying The End is coming and that Lucifer will soon walk the earth... She's very worried about that, as you might imagine.

Anna seems to know that she has some telepathic ability; when she was cornered in her room of the Psyche Ward, she didn't seem all that surprised that she had just moved the drawers with her mind alone, focused only on escaping the unconscious demon.

She's still a kind girl. If you get on her good side (and you don't happen to be a demon), she's harmless. She knew of Sam and Dean Winchester before even meeting them, from what she'd overheard of the Angels talk, and was ready and willing to stay with them, even protect them at one point, in her first day with them. She's a little shy, not quite timid, but friendly to a fault. She has a certain naivety about her, thinking things are okay until their not, and when they're not... she's not afraid to show her emotional reaction. Crying and being frightened are perfectly normal, human things to feel.

Even as a human, and especially when her Angelic memories are restored, Anna has a very tight affinity for the human race. They mess up, try on their own and refuse the 'Angel's Will'.


Angelic ♥ Much more cut and dry than her fretting, human side. Similar to Castiel in the sense that calm seems to permeate from her, no matter the situation. She could be in the midst of battle, and still appear as calm as ever. Even apologetic, if the death was an unfortunate situation. Anna feels very strongly about her decision to rebel from Heaven and fall. She wanted freedom, the ability to choose her own course of action. She's still full of human feelings, but she has a much greater reign on them than she did before. Anna seems much more mature after regaining her memories of being an angel, though that doesn't dispell her wish that she could stay human. She longs to keep things the way there are, and not have to be killed for 'falling from grace'.

TerminAnna ♥ As she is affectionately dubbed. Anna’s previously last seen appearance in the series, was back in Season 4, when Castiel more or less handed her over to Heaven (after she saved his sorry ass). Because she had her Grace back, she was not immediately killed, but tortured in the hopes of ‘reforming’ her to become one of God’s Power Rangers again.

It only half worked. And it’s really unclear what Heaven’s intentions were, or whether or not Anna ‘escaped’ or was intentionally released. Regardless, while she comes off as semi-normal in the first few minutes, we quickly learn that no, she’s more or less bat shit crazy. All she wants now, is to slaughter Sam Winchester and scatter his atoms across the universe, where no one will ever find them. Not even Lucifer. It would be a surefire way to stop the Apocalypse in it’s track, right?
Well, in her mind sure (regardless of how this fact would ultimately benefit Michael, into winning the entire ordeal).

So she’s crazy, has it out for Sam, refuses to listen to reason, is overly manipulative, vicious, and although she still feels remorse when going for the kill to a fairly innocent human (ie: Mary Winchester), she is still the cold hearted Angel she’d been created as. A ruthless killer, with no qualms about what laws or rules she breaks.

She’s desperate. So utterly out of her league, and yet she does everything she possibly can to win, to survive, to maybe stop the World from ending, and get her life back. Or cause enough havoc and damage to her surroundings, fuck up the ‘Plan’ enough, that it gets herself killed. Enough is enough, so her subconscious screams.

Character Plans: I would love to actually explore playing with Anna and her deteriorating mind/grace/soul. She still has her morals, which conflicts with everything she does, and with her Port memories (hopefully) reinstated? She’s going to be a giant mess of dsjkghdshg. I would love to have her try and force herself into some semblance of shape, just so she can fit into the puzzle of life, one more time.

Writing Samples

First Person Sample

[It's always late at night when angels post their posts, isn't it? Maybe it's to avoid the public eye. Or maybe that was just Anna. Sure, she know a decent handful of people here in the Port, but that didn't account for much when the noise in her head ... her duty- when everything else was standing in her way of actually leading a normal life. The one she'd wished for so bad she'd cut her own being out.]

I'm looking for a ... shop. Something a little higher than a pawn shop. [A beat] Or just someone who wants to barter.

[Here she pauses, lips pursed both in thought and... something else.]

I want to find something. I'm not even sure if it's still here... But if it is, if I can find it again. [...] If it's money, a job done, whatever. I'll do it.

[She just needed it. Both for her own protection, and ... If there was one thing she could use to get her own job done, then this would be it.]

Third Person Sample

This isn’t where she was supposed to end up, was it? Had she seriously gotten it wrong again? No, actually she hadn’t done anything wrong. She’d gotten it right. It was just that the rest of reality had decided it would shift from under her very wings.

To end up somewhere ... Recognizable. The shoddy diamond shape she could see in her mind’s eye, matching the rugged terrain she stood on, now. Or swayed on, if all accounts were correct. Red and white and blood red curled into the corners of her vision- this was the Port. Siren’s Port. She could feel the Pull tugging on her Grace already, keeping her grounded, here. She’d found her way back to Siren’s Port.

She could feel Angels here, Angels she hadn’t felt in months, weeks, years, days, hours. And it was all real. So real and tangible that it made her throat constrict, her vision hazy, her wings ache and her muscles tense.

And relax, knees buckling, hitting the ground hard, thankful (somewhere) for the earthen padding, as the rest of her form followed suit.

She wasn’t unconscious. She wasn’t incoherent. But she was tired. So tired. So finished with everything. With life. With death. With Angels and Devils and Winchesters and Miltons and everything in between. “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..” The words rang through her tattered mind, over and over and over again. When she’d read the book, she couldn’t recall. But funny, how things always seemed to work out like that. Her Heaven was Hell.

But here.. Where so many people called it Hell. Maybe here was her Heaven.

I play Anna Milton from the television series Supernatural, by Eric Kripke. I'd love it if you left critique for me on how I play her!
