Anne

About
Anne is the Char Shop owner in Toushin City. That is to say: she makes her living buying and selling Gal Monsters, most frequently those from the Ragnard Dungeon, to interested parties. While the sale of Gal Monsters is illicit, Anne's business thrives, and she provides a helpful revenue stream for Toushin Tournament prospects with which to buy better equipment and magic.

From the time she turned ten to the year Seed Cashima took part in the tournament, Anne was under the curse of a malefic artefact known as the Father's Curse Mask, which would never leave her face until she gathered the skill to handle rare gal monsters. In this guise, she was known only as the Mysterious Clerk, and conducted all of her business with a certain aloofness. While the player is able to choose whether or not to take part in the Gal Monster trade and to what degree, if they capture either a good deal of monsters or certain rare monsters, they can help Anne free herself of her curse. Unfortunately, her time under the mask had left Anne with "a merchant's spirit," and she refused to free any of her Gal Monster captives. Not long after the curse is broken, the monsters escaped, seemingly masterminded by a Maid-san and a Field Lynx, who tormented Anne, saying they would make it so that she could never sell them to bad clients. Whatever bargain the saleswoman and the gal monsters reached, the Char Shop resumed operations soon after.
