Biography[]
She has known how to shoot since she was little. She was forcefully betrothed to Clinch Leatherwood at the age of nine, and has ridden in his gang ever since.
She was taken to the outskirts of a random town in Arizona by her sadistic bandit husband, Clinch Leatherwood, and his gang. Clinch ordered his ally Lewis to take Anna into town and go undercover as siblings. In the meantime, Clinch and the rest of his gang would leave and do more raids.
Later, lowly sheep farmer Albert Stark was drowning his sorrows in the saloon a few weeks after being dumped by Louise, when a bar fight broke out after Lewis killed the pastor's son in a conflict. When two people fell over a balcony above Anna, Albert saved her from being crushed by pushing her out of the way and out of the building. She thanked him and they talked as they wandered away.
Albert spoke of how Louise left him for Foy, a man much richer than himself, so Anna offers to teach him how to shoot in order to impress Louise again. After a couple of weeks of training and bonding, Albert begins to impress Louise again, but the night before Albert's arranged duel with Foy, Anna realises that she has fallen in love with Albert, and kisses him after he gives her a present for helping him.
Albert walks her home in confusion, and they kiss again, unknowingly being watched by Lewis in the shadows. The next morning, infamous bandit leader Clinch Leatherwood arrives and demands to know who kissed his wife, revealing Lewis as his right-hand, and Anna as his wife. Embittered, Albert negotiates his way out of his duel with Foy and, finding that his parents are dead, leaves town.
Before he escapes, Anna finds him at his house and says that she loves him; Albert says that he fell in ove with her too, but was hurt to find that she was married, and to a dangerous bandit. Albert escapes the bandits, but is captured by natives. Speaking their language, Albert convinces them to help him. The next day, Albert returns to town and shoots Clinch with a bullet laced with snake venom, killing him and saving Anna. After earning his reward money for the bounty, Albert marries Anna and buys more sheep for their farm.
