Personality
GT2 Notes
 * Pr
 * Ch2
 * Pt2:
 * Anna hates being interrupted in the middle of an explanation, going into a rant and taking out her anger on a nearby object.
 * Pt3-4

 * Ch2Pt8


 * Ch3Pt6
 * Using Sephiroth's correspondence to the human body, focusing on the channels to make blows block the flow in opponents' bodies

Pneuma-less Shell
The -less Shell (プネウマなき外殻) is a spiritual item, described as a base metal made by intentionally distorting the Philosopher's Egg (哲学者の卵), which Anna uses to add some randomness to her battles, disturbing her own rhythm and reducing her status.

It is a two-meter tall metallic sphere, hovering in the air and emitting a dull silver light. There is a wheel at its center and when it is spun, the orb makes a grinding noise similar to gears before opening up in a complex manner to dispense an item. At a snap of her fingers, it can compress itself into the form of a small round flask, no larger than an eyedrop container, with multiple necks like a bagpipe and lined with thin lead foil.

The sphere manifests with the command Incubate (抱卵), causing a shockwave which knocks down objects and individuals in its vicinity. When initially using it, Anna spoke its name, invoking the Philosopher's Egg, Clear Coffin (透明なる棺), and a spell which never strays far, even found hidden in music and painting. Declaring that she did not seek the red stone, she had it show her a distorted result to entertain her with the unforeseen.

Anna is capable of extracting the 'essence' of the produced items, associated with their history and traditions (in explaining this, she gave examples of firsts; e.g. the first projectiles being stones, the first smokescreens being dried grass, the first biological weapons being corpses, and the first blades likely being stone or bone), and applying them to produce potent effects:
