| “ | Yes. I forced the maiden to say all that for me. But I believe the girl was thinking of something else at the time. She realized the only way to revive the Great Tree, which had been accumulating Echoes for so many years, was to open the door once again. And in opening the door she learned one more thing: To revive the Great Tree, the keeper of the seed must become one with the liberator of the Echoes by piercing her through with his sword. That's why Ritzia is actually looking forward to being slain by you! |

It's mentioned in Legend of Mana that she was powerful witch whose experiments shaped history and also would become the greatest source of evil in the multiverse. At first glance, she's merely a former tree maiden who wanted open the door to Mavolia through The Mana Tree but later games would reveal she's actually a force of nature.

Destructive Ability: Multiverse Level+ (Her darkness threatened to tear about the space-time continuum of the multiverse and eventually destroy all realms in existence, which includes an infinite number of parallel worlds. Placed a curse upon mana itself, which weakened it's influence in all worlds, with Mana sustaining the existence of many different realms and worlds in existence. Exists as a conceptual opposite to The Mana Goddess)
Speed: Omnipresent in her true form (Stated to be "Ubiquitous" across space and time. Her concept is existent everywhere there is mana, specifically representing the curse upon mana, meaning that she exists across all worlds and realities), otherwise Massively FTL+ (Vastly superior to the Six Moon Gods, who can travel interstellar distances and become stars in the night sky, alongside return in mere seconds when prayed to by Faeries)

Extra Info: Anise and her nature tends to differ from game to game, however, it's explained in Legends that there are other worlds and that she doesn't act unless it's through an avatar/giving her power to another being. This means that while the origins/information of Anise may differ, it can be explained by parallel universes and avatars
- There should be no reason that Anise should be treated as a different character in different games, it's heavily implied that she, like many other characters can travel to/exist in several dimensions
