Character: Anise Tatlin
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Character Age: 13 (15 by endgame.)
Canon: The people of the planet Auldrant have their lives ruled by the prophetic Score, which determines each individual’s future and steers the entire world down a certain predestined path. Tales of the Abyss is the journey of one bratty noble named Luke fon Fabre to overturn that system, find out the truth about himself, and also figure out how to be a better person. On his way, he gets tangled up with the religious organization overseeing the reading and fulfillment of the Score, the Order of Lorelei. The head of the Order is Fon Master Ion, who accompanies Luke on part of his travels; it’s during this time that Luke also meets Anise Tatlin, who is one of Ion’s Guardians.
Anise makes herself out to be a ♥ cheery and adorable little girl ♥, with a tendency to get into people’s personal space, wheedle them mischievously and generally milk her demeanor for all it’s worth. But she doesn’t have the job she does for nothing! Her front sometimes slips to reveal a girl who’s terrifying in battle, snarky and occasionally foul-mouthed towards friends and enemies alike, and willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. And what Anise wants is money. Lots and lots of money, be it through scamming unsuspecting passerby, trying to convince the party to let her win it big at a casino, or plotting marriage to various rich men to get ahold of their fortunes! There are deep-rooted reasons for that, though, linked to how important she finds family and friends, and the difficult decisions she’ll make to try and keep them safe.

The cute and wonderful Anise has done it again! ♪ Hmm, how lucky, I might’ve landed myself a great prospect this time! This Director Sayre whose interest I’ve caught must be an awfully rich person, to be able to keep a farm this big~! On the other hand, it’s so rude to invite little old me all the way out here to see it, and then do something unthinkable like standing me up! If you can hear me, that means you, you lousy Director! Hmph, what kind of low-down dirty freak just toys with a maiden’s heart like that?
Hey, what do you all think you’re gawking at?! Aw, boo, if this is Corn Fields of Your Dreams’ idea of a welcoming committee, maybe I don’t want to hang around here after all! No offense, but you guys are the worst-off farmhands I’ve ever seen. Screw not having any clothes on your backs, some of you don’t even have the skin on your backs! It’s like you were worked to death and then beyond. And--hey, hey, easy with the target practice! I’ve heard of throwing personal gifts at a prospective bridal shower before, but this might be taking it waaaay too far!
Though, actually! Right, right, maybe you should toss your organs this way! I hear kidneys go for quite a bit on the black market, you know! At least five thousand gald each ♥ --though I guess if you’re dead, then that means they’ve gone useless! And there must not be that much demand for them if you’re going so far as to scatter them at my feet. Now they’re all dirty and smelly and I can’t see my toes for them. Guess this isn’t a lucrative business--er, marriage venture at all, and I’ll need a new pair of boots when I get home. Boooooo.
...but there’s always a bright spot when Anise is around! It’s time for my super-extra-ultra-resourceful Plan B! There’s got to be something out here to make this smelly place worth my time, after all. Hey, guys! Graargh and Urrrgh, and even you, little Hrrrnk! You stand around groaning all day because you want some fresh and tasty brains, right? ♥ Well, have I got a deal for you: I’m offering my own, living, one hundred percent self-guaranteed fresh brain for your purchase and consumption!
What’s the catch, you ask? Well, look at this! It’s a five-gald piece, and your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to search through those big gold fields for more like it! Whoever gives me the biggest pile of these at the end of the day wins the auction! And if you need any more incentive then that, we~ell...there’s nothing like being at the service of a lovely young lady, you know? Hee hee ♪
