Name: Anna Gainnes
Age: 24
Looks: Thin, with honey blond hair and deep brown eyes. She dresses in the conventional American style of the 1920s, with wavy tresses and bright red lipstick.
Personality: Anna is seemingly quiet and conservative, but underneath her prim exterior beats the squishy, romantic heart of an adventurer. She is sarcastic and smart, but prefers to make all of her comments under her breath. Anna also adores Evelyn, and would do anything for her.
History: Anna has had a quiet life. She grew up in a little saltbox of a house in New England with her parents. She is an only child, subsequently spending a lot of her time by herself, reading and wandering in her imagination. She found a book about Egypt in the local library when she was only five and discovered a fascination with the country and its lore. She taught herself to read and speak Egyptian, and absorbed everything she possibly could on the culture of the ancients. As one of the only women at her college, she majored in Egyptian history. Of course, she heard about Evye, Rick, and their exploits, and dreamed of joining them.
When she graduated, she went to England and began working in museums there, eventually gaining notoriety as a wonderful assistant. Rick hired her to take some of the strain off of Evye, so they could spend more time in the field instead of doing paperwork. She has been living in their mansion with them for about six months, and spends a lot of her free time playing with and being entertained by Alex. She works hard and efficiently, and greatly enjoys her work. At the same time, she wishes that she could do field work. Anna feels that she’s yet to prove herself, and is striving to find a way to show the O’Connells and herself what she can do.
