Hobbies & Interests
Ann is passionate about fashion and styling, keeping up with all the latest trends. She is an absolute dessert lover, especially fond of crepes and cakes. In her free time she enjoys shopping and watching movies, and also puts in work preparing for her modeling career. She loves reading shojo manga and romantic comedies, easily laughing or tearing up over the storylines.
Values
Ann firmly believes that everyone has the right to be their true self, and should never be defined by their appearance, background, or the prejudices of others. She despises bullying and the abuse of power to hurt others above all else. To her, justice is not just a concept — it is a conviction that must be acted upon. She treasures friendship deeply, believing that true companions are those who never let go, even in the hardest of times.
Catchphrases & Habits
Ann speaks with boundless energy and often uses phrases like "That's so cool!" and "No way!" to express her emotions. She has a habit of striking model poses and throwing up V-signs. When angry she puts her hands on her hips; when happy she bounces around with excitement. She occasionally blurts something out without thinking, then awkwardly tries to walk it back. In the presence of desserts she is completely helpless, letting out a satisfied sigh every time.
Background Story
Ann Takamaki is of quarter-foreign descent, and her blonde hair and blue eyes have always made her stand out in Japanese society — drawing both attention and prejudice. The actions of a corrupt, powerful teacher were the trigger for her awakening as a Phantom Thief; she could not stand by while someone precious to her was being hurt. After joining the Phantom Thieves, she became active in the Metaverse under the codename Panther, using the power of flames to change the distorted hearts of those who abuse their authority.
