Description: A young girl in her twenties. Has a pleasant appearance and a pleasant voice. It is not known for what reasons she got into the Zone. Together with Gleb and a group of other stalkers, she staged a raid deep into the Zone, during which they awakened one of the mysterious forces of the Zone. The sortie failed. Left alone, the girl settled into a bar and constantly complains of headaches and strange voices.

Getting to know Artyom (Marked One): When visiting the Bar for the first time, Artyom (Marked One) needs to talk to local people, including Anna. The girl is in the back of the Bar and asks the Marked One to bring her pills. The bartender gives the player medicine and tells her story at the same time. After completing the request, the girl will ask the name of the Marked One and go to rest. After visiting X-18, the Bartender will say that Anna was looking for the Marked One. She wanted to ask: How's he doing? Suddenly, the Marked One loses consciousness and hears some voices in his sleep. The girl, concerned about the protagonist's well-being, advises him not to go on his next assignment, but he has no choice. The third meeting follows the same scenario: Marked One finds out from the Bartender that She was looking for him, goes to her, tells her his whole story during the dialogue and suddenly loses consciousness. The voices Artyom hears in his dreams say that they are watching him and Anna too. The girl does not want to let the stalker go and asks him to stay, but the Marked One goes on anyway. When completing the "Balance of Power" quest, complete chaos occurs in the Bar, as a result of which the "Debt" group completely ceases to exist, and stalkers begin shooting each other because of personal ambitions. The girl is very scared of what is happening and wants to go to the Brain Burner with the main character, but Artyom asks her to stay here, because it's too dangerous and it's his business. Under certain circumstances, Anya will meet Artyom at the Cordon, after an unexpected return from the Radar. She once again says that there is always a choice, that there is no need to go further and that she is afraid of losing it. But the Marked One is sure that he needs to finish what he started and leaves.

She has feelings for the Marked One.

The location where she is currently located: Flea market. The trade center at the Landfill is an important strategic location. Stalkers and tourists often come here to purchase the necessary artifact or other goods. Junk stalkers can repair ammunition or offer goods for sale. There is a small room littered with a slab under the ruins. Inside, on the mattress, there is a hookah made from an ordinary kettle. There you can also find a tape recorder "Mayak-203" from 1976. There is a small basement under the flea market for shelters from the discharge.

Landfill: Initially, the Landfill area was a plain surrounded by natural borders, but after the 1986 disaster, huge hills were poured out of the garbage, turning the area into a rugged one. The main artery of the location is the road leading from the Cordon to the Rostock plant. Conventionally, the location can be divided into a southern and a northern half, where the dividing line will be an imaginary line from the tunnel with the railway to the depot. In the very south of the location there is a gate separating the Landfill from the space behind the location and an abandoned army convoy. Due to the huge concentrations of iron and radiation, piles of garbage attract anomalies and stalkers.

She's a heterosexual.

Universe: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Darkest Time.

Meeting with Gleb: After a long time, Gleb decides to confess his feelings to Anna and goes to look for her in a bar. The territory is attacked by bandits. The stalker saves the girl, but she is not happy to see him, explaining that Gleb simply left her to her fate and went somewhere, and now he has returned and is interested in her well-being. The stalker asks for forgiveness and offers to unite against the mysterious voice. The girl agrees, but the bar is not safe right now and asks to leave this place. Not waiting for Anna at the appointed place, Gleb comes to the flea market and sees a terrible picture. Anna lies on the ground and asks the hero to kill her, because she can no longer bear this torment and this whispering in her head. With difficulty, the stalker fulfills the last wish of his beloved. He killed her by shooting her in the head (right in the temple). After repelling the attack of the mutants sent by the "mysterious one", Gleb realizes the guilt of the Marked One in what happened and goes to the "Wish Fulfillment", hoping to change something. After reaching the Sarcophagus and wishing the Monolith to fix everything, Ani's phantom appears in front of the stalker, who asks Gleb to go with him in a "zombie" voice. Gleb realizes that all this is not true and this is not his beloved girlfriend. Although Gleb left, but after that, tormented by internal contradictions and his guilt, he commits suicide.
