[edit] Life
Little is known about Anna's early life, except that she was born in Luin. At some point, she was taken to the Asgard Human Ranch, where she became the subject of Kvar's Angelus Project, an attempt to cultivate a Cruxis Crystal in a human body. During the time she was held at the ranch, Kratos Aurion came to Sylvarant prior to rejecting Mithos' intentions for the Age of Lifeless Beings. They met in the ranch, and at some point after that she managed to escape. Whether this was with the help of Kratos or not is left unknown. They also fell in love either at the human ranch or after escaping.
Unfortunately, Mithos was not willing to let Kratos desert him, and Anna was crucial to the Angelus Project, so the couple was forced to flee, constantly pursued by Cruxis. At some point during the flight, Anna gave birth to Lloyd.
[edit] Death
Still being pursued, the three continued to run for some more years, until they were near the Iselia Human Ranch, where Kvar and his troops caught up with them. At the top of the steep cliff beside the Iselia Ranch, Kvar removed Anna's Exsphere. As she did not have a Key Crest to protect her, the mana in her body went out of control and she turned into a monster. Confused and enraged, she attacked the infant Lloyd. She would have killed him had the family pet, Noishe, not leapt in the way, injuring and stunning the monstrous Anna.
She regained control of herself for a short period of time, during which she begged Kratos to kill her, terrified that she might harm Lloyd or her husband. Unable to bring himself to kill her, Kratos was forced to watch until Anna lost control and tried once more to kill Lloyd. Desperate to save his son's life, Kratos fatally injured his wife. Kvar took this opportunity to attack him. During their fight, Noishe, Lloyd, and the mortally wounded Anna fell down the nearby cliff.
Dirk, a dwarf who happened to be close to the cliff at the time, found them. Anna, who had regained her original human form, begged the dwarf to look after her son, Lloyd; Dirk agreed. He then took them to his home and buried Anna's body beside his house.
Later, the distraught Kratos searched the bottom of the cliff for his wife and son, but in vain. Believing his wife and son were dead, he gave up on life, and lost his will to fight back. Soon enough, he was taken back to Cruxis.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia manga
In the manga, not much is changed from the game. One scene, however, happens before the group sets off to the Tower of Salvation for the last time. Kratos will then go and talk to Anna’s grave.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia: The Animation
Though an unseen character in the game, she has made small, cryptic appearances in the animation, speaking to her son Lloyd from within the Exsphere, becoming a partially seen character.
There are also a couple of times when his Exsphere reacts in crisis situations, like when Colette sneaks out to the Tower of Salvation in the fourth episode. Lloyd will then be aware of the situation.
