• Annika and Willow are half-siblings through their father. Nika’s biological mother, Felina, disappeared under unknown circumstances, with her father only giving the vague implication that she died in an accident. While she’s interested in finding out what may have happened to her, she wants to wait until she and Willow are in a safe/stable situation first.
• Annika used to enjoy singing, but even the softest humming was deemed “too disruptive” by her father and stepmother, resulting in beatings from her father if she didn’t stop. After escaping her parents, she does want to reconnect with it, but the traumatic memories and intense anxiety make it difficult.
• Annika and Striker were close friends as children. He knew about her awful family situation, and tried convincing her to run away, but she refused to leave her disabled sister at her parents’ mercy. Nika’s family eventually moved away from the area, and the pair was unable to get back into contact until adulthood.
• Annika cuts her hair with a pocketknife after escaping her parents. She lets it grow out again over time, but starts styling it differently.
• Annika is older than Willow by 10 years.
