History
Anne was born to the prestigious Magnolia family as the only daughter of Clara Magnolia and her father. Anne says that her father abandoned his family, he never stayed at home and didn't work so much, prospering in taking over the family’s main business. He did not even visit her mother after she had become ill, and just when they had thought that he was going to come back after some time had passed, he had actually only stopped by to take vases and paintings from the house and sell them. Because of this, Anne came to despise him.
Although Anne is a young child, she was the Magnolia family’s sole successor after her mother. Medics had already warned that her mother’s life would be short, telling Anne to prepare herself for her inevitable death.
Anne and her mother lived on the top left side of an old but stylish western-architecture building that Anne's mother had inherited from her family in Lechernt. The residence was peripheral, having been built secluded and quite far from their prospering town.[2]
Story
Violet arrives at the mansion where Anne lives with her wealthy, but sickly, mother, Clara. Anne's mother has hired Violet for seven days to write letters, but Anne is not told what the letters are about or who they are for. In addition, Anne is both mistrustful and fascinated by Violet, as she mistakenly believes her to be an actual living doll due to her prosthetic arms. Over the next week, Anne comes to accept Violet but cannot accept being separated from her mother while the letters are written. After an angry outburst by Anne, Violet manages to calm Anne down and convince her not to blame herself for her mother's illness. After the letters were written, Violet takes her leave. Anne spent the last days of her mother's life in peace. And on a spring day, her mother died. Afterward, Anne begins receiving the letters from her mother written by Violet, which is revealed to be letters that would be delivered to Anne on her birthday for the next fifty years. Anne is seen to receive these letters on her 8th, 10th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 20th birthdays.[1]
After her mother's death, Anne was always very busy. In regards to her heirloom, after a discussion with lawyers, it had been decided to freeze the family’s multiple bank accounts until she was of age. Anne also hired a private tutor to live in the manor and studied hard. As she wished to mark the land with her mother’s memory, Anne worked to become a qualified bachelor with the same level of education as her.

She continued to live in the mansion owned by her mother, and at the same time, she found herself in the middle of a romance with a young entrepreneur who often came for counseling, who eventually became her husband.
The letters still found their way to her, even after she got married and had a child of her own. Anne currently lives with her family in the mansion now owned by her. Every year on her birthday, she would make sure to go outside in the morning to receive a letter from her mother.[2]
Relationships
- Clara Magnolia - Clara is Anne's mother, whom she loves more than anything in the world. She is very attached to her and adores the attention she gets from her beloved mother. Around the time her mother fell ill, Anne became very worried and protective of her mother, as she marked anything that could destroy her and her mother’s world as a foe. After she had become aware of the things around her, Anne deducted that any visitors who were coming for her mother would fool her to get their hands on her money. Anne also didn't want her mother to get close to other people for fear of losing her. She knows her mother's life will be short, which is why she wants her all for herself until the very end. Anne becomes very stressed and despairing to see her mother in pain and doesn't want her to push herself. She also doesn't want to make her mother sad or cry, since hurting her pains Anne greatly as well. Although Anne was upset by the fact that her mother didn't tell her what or to who the letters were about and for, as well as spending a lot of time with Violet, Anne accepts it and lives the last days of her mother's life in showered in happiness. After her mother's death, as Anne did not succumb to sorrow at seven years of age, people would ask how she didn't break down. Anne would answer with that her mother is always looking after her and has been rectifying and guiding her all the time. Over the years receiving letters from her mother became something immensely important for Anne. The letters; filled with love, encouragement, and support from her mother, keeps reaching Anne forever.[2]
- Violet Evergarden - Anne was jealous of Violet for spending much time with her mother, but she eventually warms up to her after seeing that she is not a bad person. Anne takes an interest in Violet since she thought she was a real doll, and Anne claims that she is a weird person and that she herself also become weird when she's with her. And at one point, Anne became obsessed with Violet, asking to play with her all the time. When Anne was feeling despaired due to the situation with her mother, Violet was the one who supported her and embraced her. And during the week they spent together, Anne came to take a great liking to Violet and the words she told her would follow Anne throughout her life. As an adult, Anne greatly respects Violet and is overjoyed by the fact that Violet had written her mother's letters and that she was still working as an Auto Memories Doll. Anne claims that with her beautiful eyes and voice that has a sweet ring to it, she would like for her to write about her love for her own daughter. Anne also hopes that when she sees her again, she will be able to thank her for her actions in the past that helped her mother rest peacefully. Anne is sure that she would never forget the woman, Violet, who had embraced her back when she was young.[2]
- Father - Anne does not share a good relationship with her father and doesn't classify him as her "family". Anne despises her father because he left his family and not only that, he also turned a blind eye to her mother’s disease and necessities, continuously running away. That was why Anne’s expression would distort just by hearing the word “father” coming out of her mother’s mouth. Apparently, her mother had married him out of love, but Anne did not believe it in the slightest. Anne was aware that he would never come back. Even if he did, she claims that she had no intention to welcome him warmly. She also claimed that she and her mother could live perfectly fine without him, they didn't need him. After her mother's death, Anne never saw her father again as he completely stopped coming home. He had attended the funeral, but they had merely exchanged two or three words. His recklessness with money was over as well, and though Anne did not ask directly the reason behind his change of mindset, she believed it to have been a good one. This implies that Anne's feelings towards her father changed a bit at least.[2]
- Husband - Anne met her husband when she was a young adult. They seemed to be affectionate and flustered in each other's presence. After marriage, it is visibly seen that they share a loving relationship. They live happily along with their young daughter.[2]
- Daughter - Anne loves her daughter deeply and is very affectionate with her. She wants to shower her daughter with love as much as possible, the same way she was so loved by her now-deceased mother. Anne is determined to write about her love for her own daughter, just like her own mother did to her.[2]
