History Characters / SpyXFamilyAnyaForger

* AudienceSurrogate: She's the only character who is privy to all of the other characters' secrets, and her main motivation is to keep her fake family together for both [[ItAmusedMe entertainment value]] and [[HappilyAdopted sentimentality]], which likely mirrors the audiences' reasons for reading/watching the source material.

** In a series that is centered around lies, facades, and espionage Anya has the incredible power to read minds. This would make her capable of easily addressing many of the problems that arise, except for one issue. Namely, that she's six (and probably younger); her grasp on subterfuge is poor, she can easily get distracted, often forgets what she's supposed to be doing or saying, and doesn't really understand a lot of what's going on around her. When she's on the ball she can be remarkably effective, but all too often she isn't.

* KidHero: Deconstructed. While Anya's telepathy and quick wit has helped - and even saved - her family and world peace, she is still a child who is out of her depth in tasks outside of her capabilities. There is much that she doesn't fully understand about the world due to having the naïve view of the world that most children do.

** For that matter, the year before she met Twilight is sparse on detail. We know what happened in outline - she kept getting bounced between foster homes and orphanages - and we have the names of the families who fostered her, but as noted above, she barely references her pre-Twilight life.

** Her flashback to the lab in Mission 1 - set after she'd gained her powers - shows her with OdangoHair instead (or possibly [[ClothingAppendage bandages]]; the anime opted to make it hair).

* ObliviousToLove: She doesn't notice that Damian is mean to her because he has a secret crush on her. Although she can read his mind, they're both little kids who barely have any concept of what romantic love feels like, and so Anya can't make sense of the weird sensations she gets from him sometimes [[spoiler: until Chapter 88, where she gets the first hint of Damian's feelings for her (albeit finding it creepy).]]

* RefugeInAudacity: What tends to keep up Anya's deception about having the ability to read minds during her more blatant gaffes trying to hide her abilities. Twilight knows of super-science being performed by each country, but is otherwise skeptical of any of it turning up more than bunk, meaning he never connects the dots with Anya - especially because it would be so difficult to believe and so far removed from what ''should'' be possible for humans, even in a setting ''slightly'' more fantastical than modern earth. This sometimes allows Anya to just ''tell'' Twilight and Yor what she knows with only the barest justification, which can speed along the plot in some areas.

* VocalDissonance: Starting from Episode 14 of the Anime, whenever Anya is '''really''' shocked (to the point of ColorFailure) - such as when she realized she couldn't defuse the terrorist bomb, and when she failed to impress Damian with her new dog - Creator/AtsumiTanezaki drops her pitch several octaves lower while incredulously shouting ''[[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud Gaa~n! (Sho~ck!)]]'', making her sound like a chain-smoker with a voice ''deeper'' than her gentle mother Yor's rather than that of a young child.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Her intervention in the Dog Crisis prevents a war from breaking out and Loid still being alive.]]

* TheSpook: Her past as a lab experiment who then bounced through multiple orphanages and foster families left her with little to no documentation; the orphanage Loid finds her in didn't file ''any'' paperwork for her adoption. Naturally, that's what Loid was looking for: a child with no legal existence to contradict the cover story of being his biological offspring.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 96. [[spoiler: "Yes. I can read people's minds." ]]

* SubtleSuperpowering: Or at least, Anya tries to be subtle out of fear of what might happen if others find out. She's relatively competant at it for her age, and it always works--although to the audience it reads closer to BlatantLies.
