[edit] Story

[edit] Final Fantasy IV

Anna's death in Damcyan (Game Boy Advance version).

Anna and Edward were engaged to be married, but Tellah would not consent to their marriage. As a result, they ran away towards Damcyan and eloped. Tellah became furious, and went to search for Anna, meeting Cecil Harvey and Rydia as he made way to see Damcyan. But as Anna decided to return home, Damcyan was attacked by Baron's Red Wings. Anna was mortally wounded in the attack when she took the arrows meant for Edward, and Tellah blamed her wounds on Edward. Tellah and Edward got into a fight over it, and Anna had to break it up, insisting that she loved Edward. She then told Tellah that it was Golbez who was behind the attack, and then she died. Tellah stormed off to avenge Anna's death.

Anna's spirit speaks to Edward, from the Nintendo DS version.

After Rosa Joanna Farrell recovered from Desert Fever, Edward went to play his harp near the oasis in Kaipo. A Sahagin was summoned as a result, and Edward had to defeat it. Anna's ghost appeared in the fight, and she told Edward to believe in himself and be strong. She then disappeared after Edward was able to defeat the Sahagin, telling him to give his love for her to the world.
