SPEECH AND GESTURE ANALYSIS OF ANYA FORGER FROM EP01-EP02

ANYA

Was a test-subject from the lab facility, managed to escape.

Childhood was full of lab testing and going for experiments, did not have time to play or experience a normal child’s life. (Going out and playing, learning about and general practices of society)

This meant she did not have any parents to guide her on her gestures/language learning and upbringing overall in her early years as a child.

Uses third-person language (Eg. Anya peanuts ga suki)

Addresses Loid and Yor incorrectly/unusually (Chi Chi – Father, Ha Ha – Mother)

Usual address in Japanese: Otou-san, Okaa-san
