Description
Anita is described in the series as a petite woman of mixed German and Mexican heritage with curly long hair and pale skin that has scars interspersed throughout her body. She is very direct and flippant in her speech, but is said to be highly competent in the professions she is involved in. She is trained in several forms of hand to hand combat as well as in the usage of several firearms, with her firearm of preference being Brownings. The character practices Christianity and is currently of the Episcopal faith, having left Catholicism since the Catholic Church has excommunicated all animators.
Anita is currently carrying between four and five strains of the lycanthropy virus. As of Kiss the Dead Anita carries wolf, leopard, lion, as well as several different colors of tiger. This is considered to be unusual in the Vampire Hunter universe, with very few other characters possessing more than one form of lycanthropy.
