Anya Forger

Anya Forger (Japanese: アーニャ・フォージャー, Hepburn: Ānya Fōjā) is a character from Tatsuya Endo's manga Spy × Family. Anya is a telepath adopted by spy Loid Forger. Loid is tasked with spying on politician Donovan Desmond, leader of the National Unity Party within Ostania. However, due to Desmond being notoriously reclusive, the only way he can get close to him is to enroll a child in the same private school as Desmond's son, Damian, and pose as a fellow parent, adopting Anya in the process. Anya was one of the earliest characters Endo created for the manga, inspired by the protagonist of Rengoku no Ashe. As a child, Endo tried giving her fun stories and a likable design for comedic storylines where she commonly interacts with other students from the academy. Anya is voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki in Japanese. For the English dub, she was voiced by Megan Shipman and Bryn Apprill. Critical response to Anya's character has been generally positive for her childish behaviour to the point of often being called the series' best character and has become the mascot when it comes to promotion and marketing.
