All I wanted was this town's respect. But just because these people treated me crummy doesn't mean I'm gonna do the same to them. I'm done with this! I don't care if they've broken the law, you can't treat people like this!

Don't cry, Sprig. It's okay. Saving this world was the best decision I've ever made. My only regret is that I never got to see Love Choice 2.

Change can be difficult, but it's how we grow. It can be the hardest thing to realize, that you can't hold on something forever. Sometimes, you have to let it go... But of things you let go, you'd be surprised what makes its way back to you.

~ Anne's last words/the final words in the series as she narrates the ending of the show.
Anne Savisa Boonchuy (แอนน์ สาวิสา บุญช่วย in Thai) is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel animated series Amphibia.
She is a 13-year-old Thai-American girl from Los Angeles, who stumbles upon a relic called the Calamity Box that takes her and her best friends, Sasha Waybright and Marcy Wu, to Amphibia, a world of anthropomorphic frogs, eventually becoming close friends and a honorary member of Plantar Family, especially with Sprig Plantar. She represents the Blue Gem of Heart on the Calamity Box.
She is voiced by Brenda Song, who also portrayed London in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,Wendy Wu in Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, Chloe in Disney Fairies and voiced and motion-captured Kaitlyn Kaa in The Quarry. While Kai Zen voiced her in a flashback where she is as a child in the episode "Lost in Newtopia".
Anne is a Thai-American teenage girl of medium height, with a slender build, light brown skin, and auburn hair.
Anne wears a schoolgirl uniform as her everyday outfit. It consists of a white shirt with a pink collar and "SJMS" coat of arms on it, a short purple skirt, white socks, and a single yellow and white sneaker on her left foot.
Her shirt still gets stained when she is transported back to Amphibia and "loses yet another shoe" in Commander Anne".
After returning to Earth, she wore her casual clothes instead of her school uniform. These consisted of a white t-shirt with pink sleeves and an orange flame symbol on the front, light blue jean shorts, a yellow jacket with pockets and a dark frog symbol at the back that she tied around her waist, a pair of white socks with pink colors at the toe areas and a pair of purple and white sneakers.
Toward the end of her first stay in Amphibia and upon her return, she wears a gold chest armor with blue trim and frog symbol.
She also carries a magenta pink backpack.
Additional features[]
When she arrived in Amphibia, Anne went through a messy situation, which leads her into a slightly dirty and incomplete form of herself.
To accompany her auburn hair, Anne has 2 leaves and a small stick that are always on her.
She misses a sneaker on her right foot.
Her shirt has a stain on the bottom left side.
Personality[]
“
You know, before I ended up in Amphibia, I didn't care about right and wrong: I just did what was easy, I let people walk all over me. And I think that's because, I didn't love myself, not really. But meeting youthree has changed all of that, and these months we spent together have showed me the person I really wanna be. Trap or not, I have to do this!
„
~ Anne to the Plantars about how they and months in Amphibia helped her realize who she wants to be.
Anne is described as a "self-centered" girl. Judging by her appearance, she is an adventurous spirit who is very curious and easily excited.
Throughout the show however, her characterization, much like most major characters in this show, has noticeable development throughout the show. When she first appeared, Anne, though appearing strong-willed and confident, was shown to be easily manipulated and lonely deep-down. Anne was also irresponsible and a bit of a rule-breaker, not respecting the limitations on her freedom within both Amphibia and the human world. Anne not only stole a music box while knowing it wasn't right to, but she also showcases somewhat of a stubborn personality.
Her relationships with her friends also begin to unravel as it becomes apparent that much of her decisions were more the result of being pressured by their wants and needs, whether it be by manipulations from Sasha or feeling responsible for Marcy's clumsiness. But fortunately, throughout their journey Amphibia, she soon sees the changes in her old friends which made them not only grow into better people, but also helped make their friendship stronger.
Then, after meeting the Guardian and being offered to take it's place as overseer of the multiverse, Anne opens up her brand new understanding of change, saying she can take up it's place when she feels ready for it.
Overall, Anne is seen as a girl who went from being someone who is naïve, impulsive, with a good heart but can be taken down the wrong places. To someone who is good-hearted, hard-working, and someone ready to make use of the changes that come in her life, and knowing that what you let go in your life, will find a surprising way to make it's way back into your life again, as shown that while she did move on in her life, she never truly forgot about her time and the relationships she had in Amphibia, or her friends, finally comfortable and happy "with who she sees in the mirror right now".
Powers and Abilities[]
Former Powers[]
Blue Gem Powers: After Anne was transported to Amphibia through the Calamity Box, Anne seems to have gained the power of the blue gem. It's first hinted in the pilot when Anne's eyes glow blue. Given the blue gem represents Heart, Anne's powers react to her emotions. This happened when she protected Sprig, risking her safety for a stranger, she utilized a lot more strength than she normally could, and again in "Handy Anne" because seeing the Plantar's house she promised to take care of was destroyed for a few moments she had a boost is speed, agility, combat prowess and courage, even to the point of yelling at Veggierobo. While the blue gem was recharging, Anne left and took the gem before it was fully charged when she heard her friends screaming thinking they were in danger, and following the events of "True Colors", Anne retained her powers of the blue gem. When King Andrias dropped Sprig to spite her, the grief caused by thinking her best friend Sprig had fallen to his doom allowed her to draw on the power within the Calamity Box causing both her eyes and hair to glow neon blue, twigs and branches left in her hair becoming permanent wooden horns, and having leaves flow around in her hair and around her. Anne's powers enhance her physical abilities, gaining strength, speed, and agility. In "The New Normal", Anne's powers take a toll on her after using them, given that she couldn't seem to control her powers, Anne was left greatly exhausted, and claims to feel "bad" after using them. Despite the loss of stamina after using them, Anne seemed to get better control of her abilities after each use as Anne could only manifest them as blue energy around her eyes and fists and damage part of the Cloak-Bot, while in "Anne-sterminator", she manifested them as a flaring blue aura of intense energy and kicked the damaged Cloak-Bot into low orbit before it self-destructed. Anne displayed some degree control of her powers as seen in "Escape to Amphibia" as she is able to activate them at will and with no sign of fatigue after using them. When not using her full power, her hair will take on a darker shade, jagged and inconsistently flowing style. Moreover, she released energy with greater intensity than the last two times she used them since her first return to Earth.
Enhanced Strength: Anne's exerts far greater strength to deliver more powerful strikes. She is able to land a punch on King Andrias, a newt who is three times her size, destroy his Frobots, and break through Andrias' energy shield. She is also able to greatly damage Cloak-Bot, and when fighting it again she kicked it so hard that she sent it into orbit before it self-destructed.
Teleportation/Flight/Enhanced Speed: Anne can move so fast than the eye could that it looks like she teleported as she can vanish and reappear within seconds when battling King Andrias in his castle along with being able to move rapidly while mid-air. Anne quickly dodged two Frobots' lasers that ended up destroying each other in the process.
Enhanced Agility: During her fight with Andrias' Frobots, Anne effortlessly dodged all of their lasers while in mid-air.
Energy Manipulation: Anne can generate multiple blasts of intense blue energy powerful enough to make Andrias' Frobots and castle pillars explode when hit. She can also create a blue aura that seems to act as a propulsion boost for her agility.
Energy Infusion: Using her raw power, Anne can power machines, as she is able to strengthen and increase of the size of the portal to Amphibia. Ally and Jess describe Anne as being a human battery.
Abilities[]
Resourcefulness: Anne is able to craft both a rope trap which traps Sprig quite effectively and a wooden spear by herself after getting stuck in Amphibia. She also utilizes the weaknesses of her opponent such as the sun in "Combat Camp" to blind Tritonio and Sasha's cape to blind her in "True Colors"
Athleticism: In her own words, Anne has "natural athletic ability." This is proven several times in the series as she is shown to be very fast and agile and has been able to learn new sports in a very short amount of time. She was against team sports, but after learning the importance of teamwork, she now really enjoys them.
Hunting: Anne put her self-consciousness aside in order to learn the true way of the hunter. After not listening to Sprig about the Plantar ritual, she found herself in a problem as the Plantars were captured. Anne panics and with a hallucination version of Sprig, she completes the Plantar ritual and saves the family'
Martial Arts: In "Ivy on the Run", Anne is shown to be a Muay Thai practitioner, as she dodges Polly's reckless headfirst attacks with ease and is able to counter-attack her, plus spar well with Wally.
Swordsmanship: Thanks to her training with Tritonio Espada, Anne can wield a sword in battle with great proficiency.

“
Caught ya! Thought you got the best of ol' Anne, eh? Well, you didn't!
Sasha, Marcy and I are finally together, and you know what, it's AWESOME! Tomorrow, we head to Newtopia, and after that, I think we're actually going home! I'm so happy I trusted Sasha again! I always know, even after everything that happened, we work it out.
„
~ Anne's diary entry.
“
I don't know, okay? I don't know when I'll be the daughter you wanted to be. But I'm sorry, it's true, I did lie. But I did it to protect the people I really cared about. I've learned so much from you two these past few weeks, I finally appreciate how much you've done for me. Now I'm asking for your help. Please, I can't do this without you.
~ Anne about to destroy the possessed Santa robot and Andrias' drone prototype controlling it.
“
You right, X. I am just a kid. But today reminded me that with the right people by my side I can do anything!
„
~ Anne unleashing her Calamity powers on Mr. X for calling her a kid.
“
Sasha! You're alive!!
„
~ Anne's second reunion with a now-reformed Sasha.
“
Sasha, not too long ago, you would have fought to keep the helmet. The fact that you don't want it now proves you've changed.
„
~ Anne assuring Sasha that the firmly believes she's changed, while also officially reconciling with her.
“
All this time I thought I can solve your problems and heal this rift. But I was wrong. This is no quick fix. I can't solve this problem for you. Only you can. So when you're ready to work together and save the world, let me know.
„
~ Anne telling the 3 armies to solve their problem after failing to do so herself.
“
It's not easy. Forgiveness is hard. And it can take time. (Holds Sasha's hands) But believe me.. (she glances at Hop Pop as he raises his thumbs) it's worth it. I mean, just look at what you and I have now.
„
~ Anne assuring Sasha that they can and should forgive Marcy.
“
Marcy? What are you wearing? What's going on?
„
~ Anne upon meeting The Core while it's controlling Marcy.
“
Wait! Just a quick question. Are you sure this will return the stone's power to the box? What if killing me somehow extinguishes the box's power altogether? Poof!
„
~ Anne pointing out a possible outcome if she's killed while holding a piece of the stone's power.
I know it's hard, Marcy. But no matter how much we fight it or deny it, things change. We can't stop it. But nothing, not distance or time, can break the bond that we share, because nothing can take away the memories of the time we spent together.
„
~ Anne assuring Marcy that she and Sasha will never forget her, each other, or the bond that they have.
“
What's going on?
„

“
Our whole lives, I've followed you two, counted on you, trusted you. Now it's your turn to follow my lead. Please, let me do this.
„
~ Anne begging Sasha & Marcy to let her use all the power of the stones.
“
These stones are not Amphibia's greatest treasure!
„
~ Anne declaring to the Core that Amphibia's citizen's are their world's greatest treasure, something they never acknowledged.
“
And you've changed mine. Goodbye, Sprig.
„
~ Anne before completely obliterating the Core, ending it's reign of terror forever.
“
Don't cry, Sprig. It's okay. Saving this world was the best decision I've ever made... I only rerget is that... I never... got to see Love Choice 2...
„
~ Anne's last words before dying.
“
No one's perfect. My time in Amphibia taught me that we're all changing, and learning and improving as we go. Every time I hit an obstacle, I found a way to overcome it. When I thought Sasha and Marcy would be stuck in their old ways, they proved me wrong and our friendship got stronger. And Wartwood, the oldest-fashioned, least accepting place, ended up accepting me as one of their own.
„
~ Anne rejecting the Guardian's offer to be their successor and admits she still had a lot to learn.
Sprig: Goodbye, Anne. I... (hugs Anne) I'll never forget you. Anne:(crying) And I won't forget you either, Sprig. Which means that we'll never be apart. Not really. (Sprig begins to cry harder) Nothing will ever change how much you mean to me. Not time, or space, or being worlds apart. Sprig:(rubbing away some of his tears) Spranne against the world? Anne: Spranne against the world. (Anne and Sprig do their high five one last time.)'
„
~ Anne & Sprig's final goodbye.
Trivia[]
Anne is the first leading animated character in television history to be Thai-American and the second leading Asian-American animated character on Disney Channel.
Before her, there was Jake Long from American Dragon: Jake Long, who's of Chinese-American descent.
The second animated Disney Thai-American lead character is Molly McGee.
Matt Braly created Anne, taking inspiration from both his own childhood and the childhood of his grandmother, who is also Thai. He also said that Pacifica Northwest was a character prototype, because how they both matured through the respective series.
Despite being a Thai-American, "Froggy Little Christmas" reveals that Anne's parents are both from Thailand and moved to Los Angeles, meaning she's Thai herself and just has an American name.
Ironically, she's pretty bad at following Thai traditions, except for Mui Thai, the Thai fighting style.
She also specialized in Thai cooking, as she usually helps her parents at their Thai restaurant, Thai Go.
This is further confirmed in Season 3, when her school is revealed to be private, while her family's religion is buddism.
Anne's cat Domino is inspired by Matt Braly's own cat with the same name.
In "Quarreler's Pass", it's implied that Anne may or may not have a boyfriend, yet she doesn't want to talk about him. She also tried to help Sprig and Hop Pop with their love interests.
In "A Caravan Named Desire", it's revealed that as a child, Anne once accidentally ruined a school play, resulting in her hating plays. However, there's later a continuity error in "The First Temple", as in the flashback of the latter episode she was seen partaking in a school play.
It is implied by the Cosmic Guardian that Anne will die at the age of 91.
Her future job as a herpetologist is very ironic, since:
Before being transported to Amphibia, she used to hate frogs.
She reads magazines about animals.
Her first tearful goodbye was at the aquarium of Newtopia in "A Day at the Aquarium".
Anne was the first Disney Channel protagonist to actually die, although she was resurrected.
