* EvilCannotUnderstandGood: As to be expected of a Viltrumite warrior fully indoctrinated into their way of life, even though Anissa understands that Mark cares for human life on an objective level, she doesn't understand ''why''. Even when trying to appeal to that care for human life in order to convince Mark to cooperate with the Viltrum Empire she's only able to argue from the [[ColdEquation perspective of humans as raw numbers whose loss could be prevented by cooperating]]. She doesn't even seem register any dissonance between threatening to massacre all the patrons at a restaurant in order to get Mark to speak with her alone and then proceeding to state that she only came to peaceably talk with him.

** She's bewildered by Mark's antipathy for Viltrumites, and genuinely believes that his unwillingness to be a part of the Viltrum Empire is a sign that there must be something wrong with him. As her patience wears thin during their brief fight she lets her mask slip a bit and strongly indicates that, as far as she sees it, the fact that Mark is a Viltrumite should be all that matters to him and the fact that he would reject his own heritage makes him certifiably insane.

* DeathByAdaptation: Substituting for one of the generic Viltrumites that fight Nolan and Mark on Thraxa means that she also dies in the battle, whereas she remained reoccurring side and background character in the comics



* FirstInjuryReaction: [[DownplayedTrope Not the first time she's been injured ever]], but when [[spoiler:Allen]] hits her hard enough to draw blood she's visibly shocked that any Unopan could even hurt her, which is understandable as she's demonstrated to be exceedingly powerful by even Viltrumite standards. The experience would be comparable to a human getting their nose broken from a punch from a gerbil.

* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: As cold and ruthless as she is, Anissa is actually acting as Viltrum's equivalent of a ''diplomat'' towards Mark and the Earth, attempting to sway him to the Viltrumite cause with a reasoned argument that appeals to the hard number of human lives that could be saved by cooperating, not just from a Viltrumite assault but also from [[InYourNatureToDestroyYourselves their own intragroup conflicts]]. She warns that the next agent sent to Earth won't bother with such measures.
