Anna Kiryuin

"I don't care who it is, but... Even if you're a naive idiot, take good care of those important to you."

- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

Anna Kiryuin (鬼龍院 晏奈) was a student at Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th and participant of the Killing School Life. As the oldest daughter of the biggest world conglomerate, she received the title Ultimate Affluent Progeny (超高校級の御曹司, lit. Super High School Level Heir).

Appearance
Anna was a considerably tall young woman with fair complex, long blue hair with a light green tint and red eyes. She had myopia and such, used white rimmed glasses. Her fringe was kept at her left side by a pink heart hairpin. She wore a buttoned white shirt with buttons on the sleeves, a sophisticated white tie and, on top, a black dress with eight buttons on the short front; she also wore black socks on her calves where, on the sides, it had the school symbol, and black sneakers.

Personality
Although she came from a powerful family, Anna is actually very shy and has difficulty to interact with other people. She is much more formal than her original game counterpart, Byakuya Togami, and very polite. She used to stammer as she was talking with people. She even obeyed Sapphire Tennoji's order without complaining even though she found her really disgusting.

Anna is not much confident of her abilities but is quite smart and intelligent herself. It doesn't appear to be the case, but she actually is very determined to accomplish her goals and is willing to use her family's power to do so. Anna is afraid of people discovering about the truth about her family and that is why she stayed longer at the library so no one could ever read the file regarding her relatives and their link to the Tokutatsu Clan.

She didn't like talking about her past or her parents, and even omitted the fact that she had a younger sister, Anne. As she wanted to protect this information from her classmates, she became very agressive and rude. She even fought with Amaya Hayama when in normal circumstances, she wouldn't do that. At her last conversation with Yukio Shizukane, just before her death, she showed a bit of empathy as she told him to take good care of the important ones to him.

Talent and Abilities
Her talent include a variety of other talents such as administration and leadership. Although Anna is very shy, she demonstrated that she could act in a different and more forceful way if neccessary. She is very intelligent and wasn't her family's heir for nothing.

Early life
Anna was born a few minutes before her twin sister in the great Kiryuin Conglomerate. As the oldest one, she was said as the one to inherit the family's business. Her mother would teach her the ways to administrate and how to get bigger and bigger. She would also not allow her to make any friends that weren't on her level of nobility, but even the other rich kids weren't interesting for Anna, so she lived alone for the majority of her life. Anne didn't receive that much of attention of her parents and such, was always jealous of Anna and wanted to be in her place. The sisters didn't have a good relationship with each other.

As Anna was improving with her abilities as the heir, Hope's Peak Academy's Steering Committee put their eyes on her and invited her to attend the academy. Before going to Hope's Peak, she used to attend Star Platinum International High School (スタープラチナインターナショナルハイスクール).

Killing School Life
Anna was among the sixteen trapped inside Hope's Peak Academy. Apparently, she woke up at the dining hall alongside Sapphire, who made her follow her orders. They were found by Amaya and Yukio and they introduced themselves to each other. She got quite scared as Monokuma presented their eternal life at the school, but stayed optimistic. When Momoe Izumihara started with the morning routine, Anna united forces with her and helped her guide the other students.

She could hide her desperate state when she saw her motive video which had her lover, Soramaru Tokutatsu, but didn't want to believe that someone would kill for this when she and the others found Ryo Fukukado's body at Yukio's dorm room. She wasn't that calm, so she went to the dining hall to have some tea. There, Yukio questioned her about her alibi and she said that she stayed with Enju Otsuka there the whole time (with Mayumi Kirisaki and Yuichi Hayase passing sometime there, too).

As the trial followed, she defended Enju with all she got but couldn't protect her as she admitted her crime. She watched in disgust her execution. Anna was even more uneasy than before. Discovering the library in the second floor, she didn't leave there unwatched because she was afraid of someone discovering her family ties with the Japanese mafia. During the investigation of Yuichi Hayase and Sapphire's murders, she attempted to kill Amaya but was unsuccessfull as Momoe kept her away from the novelist. Mayumi, who was with Amaya, followed Anna after she left and hypnotized her so she would not interrupt the investigation and trial.

During the trial, Anna was silent almost all the time and just really talked when Mayumi released her from her mind control. At the third chapter, she was not that distant and passed some of her time with Yukio, which she explained to him everything about her family. At their last conversation, she said that he should protect the important ones to him, leaving him alone. Anna was then killed by Kotaro Koshimizu not much after.

Creation and Development
Miika didn't want Anna to be similar to her original counterpart, Byakuya, so she made a shy person instead. The most powerful family's story wasn't too interesting to her, so she changed it and put it with Sayaka Tokutatsu's backstory with her twin sister's plot, too. Her surname came from Satsuki Kiryuin from Kill la Kill as she is also the heir of a powerful conglomerate on her own universe; it means "demon dragon imperial palace" (鬼龍院). Her first name means "calm one" (晏奈).

Anna's surname should be Tennoji, but Miika wanted to differ her from her for a RPG, so she changed it to Kiryuin and gave Tennoji to Sapphire.

Trivia

 * Yukio's first impression about Anna was as follow: "I thought she was too cute, I will definitely do some free time events with her, it's fun to talk to her, and the kindness she has is enough for other people to take advantage of (I'm talking about Sapphire), well, I hope I can learn more about her."
