Anica is a 17 year old biology student from Tokyo. She was first taken in 1996, and again in 98. It is unclear what the project sees in young Anica, but their tests are conducted with a pressing sense of urgency. The scientists aboard the craft treat her with great care and attention. Anica understands her own importance to these people, perhaps to everyone.
Whilst a part of her knows that she is borne of a greater purpose, Anica just wants what other 17 year olds want: friendship, love, enjoyment. A simpler life than being wanted and needed for scientific purposes. Though she acknowledges this worldly responsibility, Anica is still young. When the time comes for her ascension, will Anica rise and challenge the amassing hoards? Will she protect all of us? Or will she shy away, risking everything for the love of a girl? Such dichotomies are not meant to be answered. Anica has not asked for this power, nor does she desire to use it to fight the giants; but the whole world depends on her.
