More About Anya Forger
Secret Telepathy
Anya's defining trait is her ability to read minds, a result of experiments she endured. This allows her to know her parents' secret identities and often gives her an advantage (or causes misunderstandings) in various situations. She carefully guards this secret, fearing abandonment if it were discovered.
Role in Operation Strix
Unbeknownst to her, Anya is crucial to Loid's spy mission, Operation Strix. Her main task is to befriend Damian Desmond, the son of Loid's target, at Eden Academy. Anya tries her best to help 'Papa' using her powers, often interpreting his spy thoughts in hilariously inaccurate ways but sometimes succeeding through sheer luck or unexpected insight.
