Anak Zahard


 * "Everytime I see that Zahard's crest attached to your head I get the urge to crush you into a thousand pieces!!!"
 * - Anak to Androssi

Anak Zahard is one of Zahard's Princesses. She is considered a half-breed though. She is assumed to be somewhere above the 20th Floor in The Tower. It is revealed in chapter 33 that she is in fact the daughter of the real Anak Zahard who was impregnated by her lover and ran into hiding. She is a skilled fighter, and determined to climb the Tower. Her purpose for climbing the Tower is for revenge.

Appearance and Personality
Anak is a green-skinned, slightly lizardlike girl, with medium length brown hair and brown eyes. She also has a tail. She tends to wear an orange and black dress, which is fairly loose to allow movement in combat.

Anak is very haughty and generally solitary. She rejects just about anyone trying to become her friends, and she treats her teammates in a very careless way. She considers herself superior to everyone else, due to her being a Princess (she is much worse in this respect than Androssi). She is overall pretty smart, although hardly a genius. She also has a quick temper.

History
Anak had a difficult childhood, as her mother was an exiled Princess. Her parents fought regularly. Her mother cared for her though, and due to her situation, she was filled with resolve to climb the tower. Her mother was killed by Ren, and her father was killed by an unnamed Zahard's Princess.

Tower of God: Part 1
Anak turned up with the other Regulars on the second floor. She encountered Hatsu during the first test, and begun to fight him. Then Ship Leesoo turned up, and it was announced that everyone had to form a team. Hatsu and Anak teamed up immediately, but ignored Ship. Ship eventually managed to team up with them. Anak got through Leo-Ro's barrier easily (she was the first one to cross it), and passed Yu Han Sung's door test without much trouble. She participated in the Crown Game, and got the crown quickly. She sat on the throne while her teammates fought, but when they were overwhelmed she Ignited the Green April and destroyed all the enemies. She then noticed Baam carrying the Black March, and demanded he hand it over to her. Leo-Ro intervened before she could take it, and said that Baam's team would be given an opportunity to win the Crown Game: if they won, they got the Green April, if they lost, Anak got the Black March. Anak watched the remainder of the Crown Game in a rather sullen manner. She won the Black March when Baam lost.

She was then placed in the Fisherman position and seeded first. During the training, she sat alone during breaks and did not talk much to anyone. She had an encounter with Androssi Zahard during a test and fought with her. At first Androssi easily outmatched her, but the she used Shinsoo to enhance her physical abilities and charged at Androssi, throwing her in the air. However, Androssi showed her the difference between a "real princess" and a "fake" by turning the tables on her. Afterwards, Androssi lost balance near the edge of the pillar due to her high heels. Anak took this opportunity to push her off the edge, but Androssi grabbed her hand, begging her to help her "aunty". This led to a comical exchange between them, during which Anak pinched her arms, replying that she had plenty of aunts to replace her. After the last pinch, Androssi let go of Anak's arm due to the pain, but before falling was able to grab onto Anak's foot, resulting in both of them falling off the pillar, and thus failing the Test. Afterwards, Anak talked with Androssi and revealed how she was the daughter of the runaway princess, and that part of her reason to climb the Tower was to meet Androssi and kill her. Androssi said that she personally had done nothing to Anak, and so there was no reason to attack her. Anak seemed unconvinced, but nevertheless refrained from trying to kill her.

She was put on Team A during the hide-and-seek test, and chose to be their "it". She tried to capture Quant with the Green April, but underestimated his considerable skill and only just managed to escape. Afterwards, she cooperated with Koon to fool Quant and almost made it to the exit, but was caught by Quant first.

Anak got paired with Androssi in the submerged fish test to defeat the BULL, but it was weaker then expected for some "reason" then Anak and Androssi started toying with it by playing a game of hunting. The bull run's away and Anak and Androssi gets split up. Anaka later encounter Ren who said he was one of the people who murdered her mother. Anak then goes on a rage and fights one of the rankers Anima but is defeated. Androssi then tricks back the Green April to Androssi and they fight Ren together, altough early success fighting Ren they where still out match by the ranker. They where saved by the there older sister Yuri Zahard who entered the teat area for Baam. Yuri took the March and April and sent Kurudan to finish Ren, leaving saying it is too big of a burden for Anak too carry.

Afterwards she ascended with Rachel and the other regulars to the Third Floor.

Relationships
Androssi Zahard: Anak regards Androssi as a rival, because she is a Princess. She does communicate with Androssi occasionally, but seems mostly hostile to her. Androssi seems to support the idea of Anak climbing the tower. After Androssi showed that she was willing to defend Anak against Ren, they seem to be more tolerant of each other. There is a running gag between the two involving their aunt and niece relationship, which is made all the more humorous by the fact that Anak is actually older than her "aunt" Androssi.

Ship Leesoo: Anak tolerates his silly and somewhat annoying behaviour. After she got the Black March, she went to him for help because she thought he might qualify as a "handsome man." (she then immediatly denied it as a bad joke) When she was injured, he brought her food (though it was also to get her to sign her name on his friendship list). He can convince her to listen to him after much begging and pleading, like during the Hide and Seek test.

Bamm: Someone please edit this and update it

Everyone else: Anak seems to care little for anyone else and will hardly talk to them.

Powers and Abilities
Excellent physical skills: Although Anak is not an actual Princess of Zahard, she is still related to one and so has some of Zahard's blood in her, giving her enhanced strength and speed in combat. She is also extemely strong and resistant to blows.

Shinsoo enhancement: As if her combat skills weren't scary enough, Anak can use Shinsoo to further enhance her combat ability. When using Shinsoo, she is able to jump huge heights and also gains enhanced speed and reflexes.

Green April: Anak formerly had the Green April in her possesion, and could Ignite it. In it's ordinary form, the April is a long and sturdy hook that Anak uses very effectively. When Ignited, it becomes a huge whiplike weapon which Anak can swing easily, and destroys everything. It can change its length and shape, and when Ignited even split into multiple branches. In the Crown Game she used it to such an extent against Laure that it practically became a forest.

Notes and Trivia

 * Also, according to SIU in Ch 46, Anak was one of the characters who appeared in the original Black and White version of TOG. However, she was human then.
