Ann (Romance Dawn)

Ann was a female character from Romance Dawn V.2. She was friend to the strange bird Balloon, a bird that looks like it was crossed with a panda. Her entire hometown was slaughtered by Spiel except her, because Balloon always returned to her whenever he escaped.

With Luffy's help, both she and Balloon were freed.

Ann - Development towards Nami
She was Oda's second attempt at a Nami-like character and, unlike Silk, there were no signs that Oda had any intention to make Ann join in Luffy's adventures. Her background was farther from Nami's than Silk's, with no mention of parentage at all. Once again, Ann's hometown was the target of pirates — however, unlike Silk and Nami, she was the only person left alive.

Personality wise, she has Nami's hot temper and impatience for Luffy and was constantly complaining about his actions. This was brought out further by Luffy displaying more stupidity in Romance V.2 than in the final version.

Trivia

 * In the official storyline, it was stated by Portgas D. Rouge that had Portgas D. Ace been born a girl, he would have shared his name with this character.
