[[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.
[[File:Anabelle begins the final Hilltop Conference.png|thumb|left|220px|Really should have called it the Hilltop Confrontation.]]
Standing as tall as most men, Anabelle was distinguished by her reddish-brown curly hair, which flowed below her shoulders, and her characteristic attire, often consisting of a blue shirt, white trousers, and a vest, complemented by a blue bandana.


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 assumed the mayoral position in [[Muse City]] following her father [[Darell]]'s tenure as mayor. This elevated her to a prominent leadership role within the [[City-State of Jowston]], where she demonstrated exceptional talent in fostering unity among its diverse factions despite the frequent political clashes.


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 join the [[South Window City]] investigation team alongside Viktor as both a friend and a representative of the [[City-State of Jowston]].
Anabelle shared a longstanding friendship with [[Viktor]], forged during his early days as a mercenary in Muse City. In [[Solar calendar|SY]] 449, after the vampire [[Neclord]] wreaked havoc on [[North Window]], Anabelle joined forces with Viktor to form the [[South Window City]] investigation team.


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.
This mission marked her first time away from her father, and the gruesome nature of the task, coupled with her personal connection to Viktor, weighed heavily on her. Six months later, she enlisted Viktor's help for another mission—investigating a plot that exploited the North Window incident to stoke tensions between South Window and [[Two River City]], threatening 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.
During the investigation, Anabelle, armed with a slender sword, displayed limited combat experience, rendering her most vulnerable among her companions. Nevertheless, with the timely intervention of [[Hauser]], she emerged from the ordeal unscathed. Subsequently, she bid Viktor farewell as he embarked on his quest to vanquish Neclord, dedicating 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.
Anabelle's achievements stemmed from her political acumen, impartiality, and personal charisma. Additionally, the support and assistance provided by individuals such as Hauser, [[Jess]], and [[Fitcher]] significantly contributed to her success. Comparable to [[Hero (Suikoden)|McDohl]] and [[Genkaku]]'s [[Hero (Suikoden II)|son]], Anabelle possessed exceptional leadership skills and adeptly recruited talented individuals, cementing her status as a remarkable 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, as an old friend of Viktor, 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.
[[File:Anabelle's parting words.png|thumb|left|220px|No-one thanks fate for Jowy, clearly.]]
Despite her accomplishments, Anabelle's ability to navigate the fragmented City-State had its limitations. Her commitment to safeguarding the peace of Jowston also left her with little time for personal relationships. Nevertheless, as a close friend of Viktor, they would often share moments over drinks, their camaraderie transcending any potential romantic entanglements due to perceived social disparities.


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.
Regrettably, when the [[Highland Kingdom]] initiated an assault on Jowston, Anabelle struggled to unite the disunited powers. Tragically, before her efforts could yield further results, she fell victim to betrayal and was murdered in her room during the night, perpetrated by [[Jowy Atreides]]. Although one individual, Anabelle's untimely demise dealt a fatal blow to the already faltering City-State.
 
In her final moments, she would encourage the hero and [[Nanami]] to flee as the Highland invasion began, her instinct to the last being to protect the people she felt responsible towards.

History

I was born in Muse, raised in Muse. It’s natural that I want to protect her.

Standing as tall as most men, Anabelle was distinguished by her reddish-brown curly hair, which flowed below her shoulders, and her characteristic attire, often consisting of a blue shirt, white trousers, and a vest, complemented by a blue bandana.

Do your best beam!

Anabelle plays much the same role in Genso Suikoden Card Stories as she does in Suikoden II. She's the mayor of Muse City and old friend of Viktor, attempting to rally the City-State of Jowston in the war against the Highland Kingdom. She is killed by Jowy Atreides when he sneaks into Muse, before opening the gates for the Highland advance. Her interactions with Viktor and the Hilltop Conference are not in the game.

Before her death, Anabelle is an event encounter in the Nearby Forest surrounding the Forest Village. If talked to, she will gift the player between 1000 and 9999 potch or, rarely, her card 004 Anabelle. This is the only way to obtain her card.
