Anya has experienced a lot throughout her life. She is not one to complain about a difficult or seemingly insurmountable situation, nor is she particularly vocal in general. Anya experiences a mix of irritation and amusement at those who are younger and (from her perspective) make a big deal out of little things.

Anya knows a lot about bounty hunting, but she also has a passion for music and storytelling. Since her physical abilities have decreased over time, she has focused more on this aspect of her life, learning to play the harp and tell entertaining stories. Now she fancies herself a traveling storyteller, and tries to hide her bounty hunter career from most people and still take the occasional bounty as a side job.

Anya has few friends. After a lifetime career of bounty hunting, she views those who would be her friends as potential adversaries in the future. As a result, she is very difficult to get to know. She'll joke with others, and might appear kind on occasion, but she is careful to keep her distance and tries not to get too close to anyone, for fear of them becoming enemies in the future.

Because of her long life and career, Anya's humor is sometimes off-putting to others. It is either awkward or so dry that she ends up feeling like a lot of people don't "get" her. She does try to project a friendly, grandmotherly aura in cultures where it is appropriate, but it's somewhat ruined by her lifelong flair for explosive and dramatic weaponry.

Anya knows that her skills are not what they used to be. She knows she isn't that fast, and assumes her luck is going to run out any day now. As such, she spends a lot of time preparing for any situation that might be dangerous and prefers to keep at range in battle - just in case she needs to disengage. She will only fight at close range as a last resort because she isn't very good at it.

Anya has a flair for explosives and other weapons that have a big impact on the battlefield. She relishes the opportunity to effectively utilize uncommon weapons. Sometimes, this gets out of control and forces her to retreat when she might have otherwise had the upper hand.
