Personality
Anne has always been something of a wild child, bucking off the restrictions placed on her by her parents. They were well-off, her dads being involved in a few large oil companies in West Texas, not something she was overly eager about taking the mantle of. She moved out as soon as she could, becoming a wayfarer for a time as to free herself from her parent's strict oversight.

She did odd jobs to make just enough cash for gas and food, always looking for herself in the no-name towns and secluded spots of nature she found herself passing through. She found kindness in the hearts of strangers, solace in the silence of nature, and above all else, just how harsh the world could be at times. She had a number of run-ins with the law, typically in defense of others, and racked up a few charges.

At the end of her rope, however, Anne caught a break. She was bailed out by someone she hadn't seen in a long time; her aunt Lucinda. Her aunt had been a welcome respite from her parents when she was still little, always fascinating her with stories of other worlds and unseen beings just beyond sight.

Lucille offered her a place to stay, which she happily accepted, and Anne began to connect with the rest of her family for the first time. She was happy too, but she began to notice strange things from the get-go: the way some of them would disappear for days at a time, and the strange occurrences in and around the home. Anne began to dig deeper, prying her cousins for answers, and finding herself obsessed.

It didn't take long until she finally glimpsed the Truth, her eyes open to the Primal Wilds as she was reborn, taking her first steps into the world hidden behind the Gauntlet. She saw the heartbeat of the physical and ephemeral worlds and felt it bleed. More importantly, she saw the truth of her family, their half-spirit forms revealed to her which she would come to know as Uratha.

She was Nameless for a time but soon stumbled into the Arrows as she began to explore her widened world and came into contact with more mages, believing wholely in the Adamant Way.

In her Awakened life, Redwood strives to protect those who cannot protect themselves: vulnerable spirits, disenfranchised individuals, and lone mages trying to find their way in the world.

Anne will do anything in the defense of those who need it and is often the brunt of attacks of all kinds. She has a big heart, caring deeply for those she trusts, but also has a hard-time abiding by when she feels as though a wrong has been committed.
