{{Nihongo|'''Anya Forger'''|アーニャ・フォージャー|Ānya Fōjā}} is one of the main characters of the ''[[SPY x FAMILY (manga)|SPY x FAMILY]]'' series. Formerly known as {{Nihongo|'''Test Subject "007"'''|被験体"007"|Hikentai "007"}}, she is a telepath whose abilities were created in an experiment conducted by an unknown organization.

She is a student in Cecile Hall at [[Eden Academy]] and the adopted daughter of [[Loid Forger|Loid]] and [[Yor Forger]].

== Appearance ==
Anya is a short young girl with fair skin and green eyes. At the time of their first meeting, Loid describes her as appearing about four to five years old at the oldest.{{Ref|chap=1|page=20|ep=1}} Her green eyes are large and oval-shaped, with prominent eyelashes. She has shoulder-length, light pink hair that curls inwards with a fringe that reaches just above her eyes and a small strand of ''[[Wikipedia:Glossary of anime and manga#ahoge|ahoge]]'' at the top of her head. Anya is noticeably shorter than most of her peers, and many of the insults that [[Damian Desmond|Damian]] and his friends direct at her target her small size. However, in Damian's view, she gains a prettier appearance.

When Loid met Anya for the first time in the orphanage, she wore a simple black dress with a white ribbon at the front, along with white folded-down socks and black shoes. She usually wears this outfit when at home. Anya also wears two black hair ornaments with bright yellow embellishments resembling small horns on the sides of her head. Anya is rarely seen without her hair ornaments, even wearing them to sleep. The only other times where she is shown to not be wearing them were in her past{{Ref|chap=1|page=39|ep=1}} and at the end-of-class gala{{Ref|chap=95|page=7}}, in which her hair is tied into small buns in place of the ornaments.

At Eden Academy, Anya wears the standard uniform with white knee-high socks and black Mary Janes. She carries around a brown schoolbag with a sheep keychain attached. During physical education class, Anya ties her hair back with a red headband when wearing the school gym uniform, along with white socks and gym shoes{{Ref|chap=15|ep=10}}.

When she was younger, her hair was slightly shorter and wore clothing that resembled [[Wikipedia:Scrubs (clothing)|scrubs]].{{Ref|chap=1|page=39|ep=1}}

== Personality ==
As a young child, Anya is very impressionable towards the people around her. For instance, reading Loid's mind and attempting to mimic him, and learning how to punch from Yor. Given her telepathic ability, which ostracized her from people and her many foster homes, she instantly took to "Twilight" for being a real spy. Since being adopted, she wanted to go wherever Loid was going in hopes of seeing the spy stuff she always sees on TV. However, shortly after being adopted by Loid, she learns of the harshness of espionage and does her best not to interfere with Loid's spy work. Despite this, Anya enjoys spy cartoons, her favorite being ''[[Spy Wars]]'', and is often seen watching it whenever she can. Anya also finds excitement in Loid and Yor's secret jobs and identities. Anya is quite clever, being able to spell long words by herself and helping Loid out as best she can, even nudging Loid and Yor together.

[[File:Anya is upset by Damian's words.png|thumb|160px|Anya's egocentrism in wanting to be recognized]]
Anya's behavior portrays her as younger than the age she initially claimed to be, which is around 6 years old. In reality, Anya is about 5 years old, and she pretended to be 6 after reading Loid's mind and realizing he needed a 6-year-old child. Loid, being supernaturally astute, had initially estimated her age to be younger than six. Anya's demeanor reflects her young age, as she is gregarious, trusting, simple-minded, and easily distracted. She may not fully grasp the bigger picture or see the grand scheme of things, which is typical for children her age. Anya, like many young children, is self-centered and unaware of how her actions affect others. She opposes [[Fiona Frost|Nightfall]] as her "mother" due to the fear of becoming an honor student through harsh methods. She is impulsive, breaking rules for excitement, and easily changes plans for personal gains, such as treats or awards. This is not to say she is unintelligent or narcissistic, as it is common for young children to be unable to fully consider others' needs at such a young age.

Given her younger age, it is remarkable that Anya can keep up with an advanced curriculum designed for older children. While some may perceive her as intellectually lacking for a six-year-old, she is most likely a highly gifted, talented, and precocious young girl, showcasing impressive abilities for her age.

[[File:Anya imagines friendship through dogs.png|left|thumb|190px|Anya makes her plan to befriend Damian]]
Anya is shown to understand complex certain situations and what solutions are necessary but not the more abstract parts of it. For example, she comes up with clever plans to befriend Damian, the second son of Loid's [[Donovan Desmond|target]], in order to help Loid's [[Operation Strix|mission]]. She has attempted to help him with an art project and use her dog, [[Bond Forger|Bond]], as bait for an invitation to his house after reading his mind and learning he loves dogs. However, she failed to realize that her lack of art skills was not only not helping him but actually making him hate her more, or the fact that a kid who has repeatedly expressed his intense disdain for her would effortlessly become her best friend because they both have dogs.

[[File:Anya dreams of world peace.gif|thumb|190px|Anya dreams of world peace]]
One of Anya's most remarkable traits is that she does everything she can to help Loid in his mission to prevent a war and "achieve world peace," although in a childlike and innocent way. As such, she puts all her effort into getting close to Damian, to help Loid accomplish his mission. Anya is often seen creating "plans" that might help her get along with him.

Anya's primary flaw lies in her inability to see the bigger picture, often fixating only on immediate desires or goals. Despite her strong desire to assist Loid with his mission and excel academically, she consistently neglects her studies and fails to grasp how her impulsive actions may be perceived by others or their long-term consequences.

[[File:Anya fears her family will be break up.png|thumb|left|190px|Anya does not want to be rejected]]
Anya's tendency to keep her telepathy hidden stems from both orders by the facility's doctors and her fear of social rejection and family disruption. This fear contributes to her inclination to act without considering the broader implications of her actions. One notable example of her shortsightedness is her failure to realize that revealing her ability to Loid would be of great help to him. Additionally, after learning about Loid's dangerous spy mission to prevent a world-threatening situation, Anya eagerly accepts the opportunity without fully understanding the potential risks and dangers involved.

Despite her flaws, Anya's intentions are often driven by a genuine desire to assist others, even if she lacks the ability to see the larger consequences of her choices. This is notably seen with her adopted parents, where she aided them in their respective occupations, unbeknownst to them or her acknowledgment of their true jobs.

[[File:Anya crying at the interview Anime.png|thumb|180px|Anya cries about her "real" mother]]
Anya's upbringing in the unknown facility and getting returned from foster homes have left her with significant abandonment issues, driving her desperate desire for a loving family. This motivation leads her to assist Loid and Yor in maintaining their family bond. She is emotionally affected by the fear of being replaced or left behind, and the potential revelation of family secrets causes her distress. Also, the subject of her "real" mother is a sensitive and emotional topic for her, evoking tears when brought up.

Anya's aversion to studying arises from being compelled to focus on honing her special "gift" during her time there. She most notably has a problem of relying on reading other people's minds for answers rather than actually studying the material, which comes back to bite her when she reads the wrong answers. However, despite enduring difficulties in the facility, Anya remains relatively persistent, diligent, and optimistic.

[[File:Anya comforts George.png|left|thumb|160px|Anya's empathetic side]]
Anya's ability to read minds has its advantages, enabling her to form deep connections with others, as demonstrated by her ability to calm a distressed cow and save a drowning child. But it also poses challenges, as she instinctively reacts to thoughts she telepathically picks up which often makes her seem eccentric and unhinged. Besides, Anya relies too much on her "gift" and can hardly function without it. Her lack of situational awareness and social skills also make matters worse, leading to erratic behavior and conflicts with her peers. Nonetheless, she displays a kind and empathetic side despite these struggles.

However, Anya is not above being a little cocky. She is quick to show off when she does something remarkable, like when she earned a [[Eden Academy#Awards and Demerits|Stella Star]] and wore it on her uniform so everyone could see it, and even requested to be called "Starlight Anya" for the day. That said, it is understandable due to her being a child.

== Abilities and Skills ==
[[File:Episode 12-2.png|thumb|180px|Anya reads Yor's dark thoughts]]
'''Telepathy:''' Anya is capable of reading the minds of other people and animals, her ability depicted as small sparks around her head. However, her abilities have their limits. Anya finds it difficult to understand complicated minds, such as Loid's.{{Ref|chap=37|page=17|ep=25}} When she reads the minds of people with excessively strong emotions, like [[Yuri Briar|Yuri]] and Fiona, it causes a reaction similar to a heartburn.{{Ref|book=fanbook|page=35}} She must also be within a certain distance of her target to read minds.{{Ref|extra=2|ep=26}}

Anya's involuntary use of her telepathic abilities made her a bit more aware of her surroundings. It enables her to see through Loid's disguises, hear somebody being in danger,{{Ref|chap=17|ep=11}} and notice Yor sneaking into her school to give her the P.E. uniform.{{Ref|ep=19}} It even helps her pick up on the enemies of her parents being nearby.{{Ref|extra=2|ep=26}}

'''Classical Language:''' Anya is mysteriously knowledgeable of [[Wikipedia:Classical language|classical language]], despite having barely learned the subject at school, as Loid notices she could have scored well on her test if she did not make so many spelling mistakes.{{Ref|chap=42|ep=29}}

After tutoring from [[Sigmund Authen|Sigmund]], Anya greatly improved on classical language and managed to get second place in the subject on her first final exam.

[[File:Episode 14-1.png|left|thumb|160px|Anya ponders how to save Loid]]
'''Resourcefulness:''' She is shown on numerous occasions to have a decent level of street smarts, saving both Loid and Yor from potential death using her resourcefulness and quick-thinking skills. From time to time, Anya has been able to trick Loid, despite his extremely observant skills and cautious attitude and use Yor's protective nature to her advantage. She is also capable enough to design a trap and make a makeshift bomb, albeit with the knowledge of an aspiring assassin.

'''Basic Self-Defense:''' Anya has been taught by Yor some early basic self-defense. She is strong enough to send Damian flying several feet with a punch to the face.

'''Above Average Strength:''' Despite her size, Anya is capable of sending people who are slightly above her stature flying with a punch if angered. She was even capable of throwing one of Yor's stilettos onto the roof deck despite its height.{{Ref|chap=54|ep=34}}

'''Above Average Intelligence:''' Considering that Anya is actually a five-year-old child, she is still able to pass the Eden Academy exams, albeit barely, even though it is one of the best elite schools in the country. This could indicate that, although it may not seem like it, Anya is actually quite intelligent for a child her age. She also does well in classical language, considered advanced in today's society, ignoring her spelling and grammar mistakes.

=== Special Moves ===
After getting kidnapped by thugs, Anya asks Yor to train her to be as strong as her so she can study hard and "not die" at school. Yor agrees and teaches Anya several special moves. Anya creates some of her own special moves as well.

== Weaknesses ==
[[File:Anya Eclipsing.png|thumb|150px|Anya's Eclipsing]]
'''Eclipsing:''' In a phenomenon dubbed "Eclipsing" by the [[List of Characters/Minor#Scientists|scientists]] at Anya's former laboratory,{{Ref|chap=26|page=6|ep=18}} Anya's telepathic abilities are temporarily disabled during the new moon.

'''General Skill:''' Anya is shown to be poor in a variety of skills including studying, drawing, sports, and music. She often obtains single-digit scores for her tests and resorts to her telepathic abilities to get through classes and exams instead, refusing to study unless under Loid's strict supervision and during her "Eclipsing." Even when motivated to study during her midterm exams, she just barely passes. She tries to play a child-sized violin Loid buys her but causes the strings to snap with her bad playing.

'''Poor Grammatic:''' Anya has very poor grammatic skills. It is often that whenever she shows her personal notes to anyone, they cannot understand what she is writing, comparing it with a bunch of scrawls.

'''Poor Academics:''' Anya has low to sub-par abilities when it comes to academics, notably scoring very low in most of the tests she has taken at Eden Academy. She seems to have an over-reliance on her telepathy skills, especially when troubled, primarily using it to answer homework questions and sometimes cheat on tests. Her poor academics can be partially attributed to the advanced material she is studying, paired with her being younger than she claims to be.

[[File:Anya reads Loid's mind.gif|left|thumb|Anya tries to read Loid's mind]]
'''Lack of Control Over Her Power:''' Anya is only able to control her telepathy at a small amount, which often leads Anya to unwillingly read every single thought of everyone around her.

'''Crowd:''' When Anya is exposed to huge crowds, she often tends to get dizzy or exhausted by uncontrollably reading most of the whole crowd's minds, resulting her in suffering from nosebleeds.

'''Lack of Athletic Ability:''' Befitting her age, Anya is extremely poor when it comes to physical exercises, getting winded easily, having poor coordination and low strength, being unable to serve a ball properly despite Yor's training, and her putting her full strength into it. This lack of ability has extended to various sports, including tennis, jump rope, swimming, and vaulting.

== Etymology ==
* The name Anya is a Slavic diminutive of the name "Anna," meaning "grace."

== Trivia ==
[[File:Loid and Anya Original Design Sketches.png|thumb|180px|(Bottom) Early design concepts for Anya]]
* During the original sketches, many designs of Anya were explored, from having a beautiful appearance to a sickly one. One concept even shows her with bags under her eyes due to a lack of sleep. Due to [[Tatsuya Endo]] wanting to put a sort of accent on her head, he experimented with many hair accessories, including hairbands, buns, and horns, the last two of which did make it into her final and current design. Some of her characteristics were that she was reticent and defiant.{{Ref|book=fanbook|pages=204-205}}
* According to Endo, there is no reason Anya's hair is pink, saying he "didn't think about it at all."
* Anya's horn accessories on her hair were designed to evoke a feeling of "reception."{{Ref|book=fanbook|page=172}}
* Anya was initially planned to be older and taller, as seen in an initial sketch of the family. Her expression also appears to be much more serious or aloof.{{Ref|vol=1|text=[[:File:Volume 1 Bonus Sketches.png|Bonus Sketches]]}}
* Visually, Anya's design is a mix of two characters from Tatsuya Endo's previous one-shots: Ashe from ''[[Rengoku no Ashe]]'' and Misha from ''[[Ishi ni Usubeni, Tetsu ni Hoshi]]''.{{Ref|book=fanbook|page=199}}
* Anya's telepathy was a late change made by Endo while developing her character. He had always intended for Loid to adopt a child with some sort of superpower. He did not think much of the implications a mind-reader being in the story would have, but later realized that it had good comedic potential and created a new reader viewpoint.{{Ref|book=fanbook|page=191}}
* Anya's name was originally romanized as "Ania" by Endo, and thus was often written as such in the backgrounds of some of the earlier chapters. This change was later pointed out in [[Short Mission 11]].
** This carries over to the anime, as evident by the sign on her bedroom door.
* Anya's former code name "Test Subject '007'" is a reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:James Bond|James Bond]] and his code number 007.
** Also, Anya's name is most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Anya Amasova|Major Anya Amasova]], a Soviet intelligence operative from the 10th James Bond film, ''The Spy Who Loved Me''.
* Anya has a childish manner of speaking by frequently mispronouncing words. In Japanese, this is expressed through her using [[Wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]] in speech instead of [[Wikipedia:Kanji|kanji]].
** As further proof of this, she refers to Loid and Yor as "chichi" and "haha" when addressing them, which is an incorrect use of the terms.
* When Loid first met Anya, he assumed that she was around four or five{{Ref|chap=1|page=22|ep=1}}, which explains her further academic difficulty. At the time of [[Volume 13]], Anya was described by Endo as 5 years old.
* Anya's application number when applying for Eden is K-212.{{Ref|chap=1|page=66}} The number comes from the postal code for Kawasaki, where Endo used to work.{{Ref|book=fanbook|page=37}}
* Anya barely passed the written exam of Eden Academy's admissions process with a score of 31.{{Ref|chap=4|page=11|ep=4}} She is bad at most of her subjects and resorts to using her power to get the answers most times. However, she has talent in Classical Language (equivalent to the Latin language in the real world) and scored a 41 on the test.{{Ref|chap=42|page=22|ep=29}}{{Ref|book=fanbook}}
* As Loid stated, Anya is quite picky about her food.{{Ref|chap=5|page=|ep=4}} Some of the food she likes including peanuts (her favorite){{Ref|chap=1|page=28|ep=1}}, cake{{Ref|chap=14|ep=9}} and [[Wikipedia:Hamburg steak|hamburg steak]]{{Ref|chap=42|ep=29}}. Anya's disliked food is carrots.{{Ref|chap=1|page=28|ep=1}}
