WMG / Anne with an E

Go To

Anne is a Princess.
  • Definitely Troubador Calling, since her entire ideology is about imagination and getting people to see how wondrous the everyday world is when you really pay attention. Court could either be Swords (her passionate nature and obsession with love of every sort), or Spades (her whimsy, willingness to see the wonders of the world, desire for freedom, and love of laughter).
  • She was at very low Belief at the start of the show due to all the trauma (thus explaining why she was so subdued), and probably would have Dethroned if Matthew hadn't brought her back after the brooch incident.
  • Diane is probably a "normal" Beacon (she's almost unbelievably kind and friendly, but she lacks Anne's force of personality).
  • Gilbert is either a unblossomed Prince, or quite possibly Blossomed in the wake of his father's death. His desire to be a doctor probably indicates being Called as a Mender. Court affiliation is a little harder to determine.

  • After what she went through in the orphanage she's more than broken enough, and she displays the characteristic Lightweaver faculty with truth and lies and true lies. Similarly, she displays the Lightweaver talent of bringing out the best in others: teaching Diane and Ruby to dream and tell stories, helping to bring Matthew and Marilla out of their shells, and so forth.

Gilbert is an Edgedancer Radiant.
  • The death of his father would have been an entirely suitable breaking point, and he has always exhibited an Edgedancer's concern for the outcast and the overlooked. He also wants to be a doctor, and the Edgedancers are one of the two Orders to bind Progression. In addition, Edgedancers bond cultivationspren, and you would expect to find those hanging around a farming community on an island (since spren are attracted to their associated phenomena and land and sea are inverted in Shadesmar).

The school burning down was cosmic punishment for Anne and Diane breaking their oath of friendship.
  • You don't break a formal oath sworn on Moon and Sun without consequences, at least not in the fairy-tales Anne lives in. And a random and unlikely catastrophe, such as a dropped cigarette butt starting a building-destroying fire instead of burning out harmlessly as is far more likely, is exactly what you'd expect to see when Fate itself is looking to punish someone.
