[[File:Anabelle begins the final Hilltop Conference.png|thumb|left|220px|Really should have called it the Hilltop Confrontation.]]Anabelle was the mayor of [[Muse City]] at the onset of the [[Dunan Unification War]]. Her father, [[Darell]], had been mayor before her and she inherited a major role as one of the leaders of the [[City-State of Jowston]]. As a mayor, Anabelle was extremely talented, attempting to promote unity within Jowston despite it so often colliding internally over politics.
She was said to have been as tall as most men. Her reddish-brown curly ran below her shoulders, even in her youth, and she often wore a blue shirt and white trousers and vest, with very little accompaniment, save for her blue bandana.
Anabelle was an old friend of [[Viktor]], Anabelle having met him in [[Muse City]] during his early mercenary days. In [[Solar calendar|SY]] 449, after the destruction of [[North Window]] by the [[vampire]] [[Neclord]], Anabelle would joined the [[South Window City]] investigation team alongside Viktor as both a friend and a representative of the [[City-State of Jowston]].
The mission was Anabelle's first away from her father, and the particularly gruesome nature of it, as well as her personal attachment to Viktor, weighed heavily on her. Six months later, she would recruit Viktor for a second mission. Someone was using the incident at North Window to inflame tensions between South Window and [[Two River City]], risking war.
Investigating alongside Viktor and [[Zamji]], they would uncover the plot and defeat the conspirators. Anabelle fought with a slender sword, but had little combat experience, putting her in the most danger of the three but the timely arrival of [[Hauser]] helped save her. Later, she would wish Viktor well on his journey to defeat Neclord, while she dedicated herself to strengthening the Jowston Alliance.


Her track record was largely down to her political skill as well as her personal magnetism. Of course, the roles of people such as [[Hauser]], [[Jess]] and [[Fitcher]] in supporting and aiding her were not inconsiderable either. Similar to [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] and the [[Hero (Suikoden II)|son of Genkaku]], Anabelle was a skilled leader able to gather talented personnel. She could truly be considered a great leader.

[[File:Anabelle's parting words.png|thumb|left|220px|No-one thanks fate for Jowy, clearly.]]However, despite her talents, Anabelle was only one person and could only accomplish so much in the fractured City-State. Due to her commitment to protect the peace of the people of Jowston, she also had little time for personal relationships. However, she was an old friend of [[Viktor]] and the two often drank together, although the social gap between the two was said to be too great to entertain anything more than their camaraderie.

When the [[Highland Kingdom]] began their attack on Jowston, Anabelle struggled to pull the disunited powers together. Before anything more could be accomplished, she was betrayed and murdered in her room at night by [[Jowy Atreides]]. Although Anabelle was one person, her death was a great blow to the crumbling City-State.
