One of [Mia](https://anilist.co/character/172654)'s loyal retainers. She's known to be a little clumsy in her duties as a maid. The eldest daughter of the Littstein family. From a commoner and poor origin, she didn't come to the Whitemoon Palace to dedicate her life to loyal servitude to the imperial family but because she was in need of money.

In the previous timeline, by the time Mia was imprisoned, a few people had come to see Mia for the first few weeks but their visits ended as soon as they realized that she would never claim the throne. Only Anne kept visiting her, not waiting more than a day or two between visits. Sometimes she would bring snacks. Other times she would come with water and a washcloth. Knowing that Mia couldn't bathe, Anne would wash her as best she could and tidy up her clothes. Day after day, week after week, she came, her loyalty unfaltering. On the day of Mia's execution, Mia made her way toward the guillotine regretting that she could do nothing to repay this faithful maid's devotion and kindness.

In the timeline of the main story, Mia remembered what Anne did for her and, as a repay for Anne's devotion to her, she appointed Anne as her personal maid-in-waiting.

Surrounded by the hate-filled gazes of her people, the selfish princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire, Mia, takes one last look at the bleeding sun before the guillotine blade falls... Only to wake back up as an eleven-year-old! With time rewound and a second chance at life dropped into her lap, she sets out to right the countless wrongs that plague the ailing Empire. Corrupt governance? Check. Border troubles? Check. Natural calamities and economic strife? Check. My, seems like a lot of work. Hard work and Mia don’t mix, so she seeks out the aid of others, starting with her loyal maid, Anne, and the brilliant minister, Ludwig. Together, they strive day and night to restore the Empire. Little by little, their tireless efforts begin to change the course of history, pushing the whole of the continent toward a new future. And why did the selfish princess have a change of heart, you ask? Simple—she didn’t. She’s just terrified of the guillotine. They hurt like hell, and Mia hates pain more than work. Lazy, selfish, and a complete coward, the ill-equipped princess of the Tearmoon Empire, armed with memories of her past life and a diary from the future, tries to avoid dying at the guillotine again and changes the very course of history in the process!
