Annerose Nichtsehen

Annerose Nichtsehen (アンネローゼ・フシアナス) is a strong swordswoman, hailing from the Belgata Empire.

Appearance
Annerose is a beautiful woman with blue hair with a slim built.

She wore dark blue armor along with a cape that covered her back.

Personality
While a proud swordswoman, Annerose presented herself as cynical and aloof. When she first met Jimina (Cid in disguise), she assumed that he was not skilled as a swordsman and condescendingly told him that. Despite this, she's a good person deep down and will step in to defend others, especially those she unwittingly placed in trouble.

She wasn't always like this, however, as long ago, she was passionate about swordsmanship that she left her home to become stronger but the time she spent wandering the world and failing to face any opponent that can match her skills has made her the way she is today.

It was only when she met Jimina that she finally found a worthy opponent. Once that happened, she became confused and suddenly flustered whenever the two met. It was after her defeat at Jimina's hands that she regained her love for swordsmanship before she left her home.

Holy Ground Infiltration
Annerose was one of the contestants who took part in the Goddess trials, winning her duel against the spirit that was summoned to fight her, called Borg. She has not been seen after Shadow Garden intervened in the trials.

In the anime, she was the only combatant who was able to summon a "legendary warrior".

The God of War Tournament
Annerose arrived at Midgar Kingdom to participate in the God of War festival. It was there that she met Jimina Sehnen who she believed to be a weak swordsman. She tried to sway Jimina from participating but this act unknowingly caused the other participants to harass Jimina. Initially she stayed from the side lines so that Jimina would receive a harsh lesson but finally stepped in to defend the man when Quinton went too far in the assault. Annerose apologizes to Jimina but then observed that Jimina sports no visible wounds from the assault.

Curious about this new upstarter, she, along with Quinton watched Jimina's match against Goldoh. To their surprise and the shock of the entire audience, Jimina easily won. While everyone ponders how this had happened, Annerose did noticed the methods Jimina did that allowed him to win his match. Unfortunately, this is met with laughter by Quinton as Jimina's ways are so over the top ridiculous to be possible.

The swordswoman of Belgata met up with Jimina and told him about their match-up together and that she knew how he won. Regardless of Jimina's skills, Annerose boasted that she's more than match for him. To her surprise, Jimina merely scoffed at her and revealed that he had been holding back; having used weights during his entire run.

Once their match began, the two clashed.

Swordswoman
Annerose is considered a prodigy at wielding a sword. She was so skilled that she went without a worthy opponent for the longest time until she met "Mundane Mann". She was also able to see through some of Mundane's moves and was his first opponent who was not beaten in a single blow.

Mundane Mann
Mundane was an opponent Annerose faced in the Bushin Festival. Annerose initially pegged him as weak but was surprised when Mundane proceeded to advance through the tournament. Annerose had gotten more interested in Mundane and his abilities, deep down she believed the man to be the opponent she had been waiting for. After being defeated by him, Annerose was genuinely happy rather than upset she lost and she developed deep admiration for the mysterious man. Annerose vowed to train more in hopes she could challenge Mundane once more.
