Anna Whitt

Anna Whitt is the main character in the Sweet trilogy by Wendy Higgins.

Background
Anna Whitt is the daughter of the Duke of Substance Abuse, Belial, and a guardian angel, Mariantha. She was adopted by Patti Whitt as an infant from a convent church.

Physical Description
Anna is on the shorter side, about 5'4, with long dirty-blond hair and brown eyes. She is described herself as being skinny, with almost no chest, but has well-muscled legs.

Personality
Anna is quiet and reserved, but is fiercely loyal and protective of those she cares about. She is also on the naive side, and is very innocent. She also lacks confidence in herself, which is shown on more than one occasion, including the times when she has doubts about why Kaidan will want to be with her.

Kaidan Rowe
Kaidan Rowe is the boy she fell in love with.

In Sweet Evil, they meet at a club that Jay brought her to. She immediately realizes that he is different for he has a red starburst in the middle of his chest. Anna can not read his emotions like she can with everyone else's but even so, she is attracted to him.

At the end of one of the songs, he leans down to take a drink of water when their eyes meet. His red starburst pulses once before disappearing. (Gosh, this makes it sound so weird. I just recommend reading the books instead of reading this gibberish.)

Later, Jay gets them backstage where, after Kai sees her, he asks a lot of weird questions before saying something about smelling hotdogs.

He gets her on a plane back to Atlanta. She's never flown before but all that happens is that he softens just the tiniest bit. He hardens again when she says something. The last thing she ever said to him was that she wished she could see his colors. He replies in a cool voice that he's glad she can't, before turning away.

Jay gets a call later when Anna is back home, that Kaidan's band wants the right to two of his and Gregory's songs and are playing them. Anna debates on whether or not to go. She has become a stalker of him and she knows it. (Not like it's her fault, idiot loveful half-demon of lust.) She wants to be there for Jay but tells him straight out that she can't, telling him that if she sees Kaidan again, she'll never stop loving him. She makes Jay promise that he'll call her the moment he gets back home.

As he tells her everything that happened, Anna begins to think of Kaidan again. And of course, Kai gets brought up in the conversation. Jay tells her that he saw Kai backstage with a bunch of girls around but as soon as Kaidon sees Jay, he walks away from the girls and walks over to Jay. He tells Jay that he liked the songs then...asks you to read the books to find out what happens next!

In Sweet Reckoning, the two of them got married on an airplane.

Kopano
Kopano was another love interest but was never thoroughly pursued.

Children
Anna and Kaidan have three children they adopt from Kopano's AIDS orphanage in Malawi six years after the end of the series, events which are told in the Epilogue. Two sons, biological brothers--Mandala, eighteen-months old at the time, and Onani--six-months at the time. Originally, Kaidan didn't want any daughters. But while picking up the boys at the orphanage he meets a three-year-old girl named Alile (means 'she weeps') who was taken from another orphanage that was shut down due to sexual abuse. She referred to Kai as Bambo, which means father. When asked why she called him father she answers, in Chichewan, "In my dreams, he was my daddy." Kaidan begins to cry, something Anna mentions she hasn't seen him do in six years of marriage, and wraps her in his arms. About Alile and Kaidan, Anna says, "But I knew at that moment that Alile would be our daughter, and Kai would beat his fears. Nobody would ever hurt this little girl again and get away with it. Because she had a daddy now."

Influence
Because of her double-angel parent heritage, Anna is able to influence the minds of others to make them do her bidding, to a certain extent. This is shown on more than one occasion, and some of the people she has influenced include Kaidan, Kopano, the sons of Thamuz(Duke of Murder). She was shown to be the only Neph who could do this.

Pregnancy Reading
Because of her mom's angel heritage, Anna has the ability to sense when someone is pregnant.

Aura Reading
Like all other Neph, Anna has the ability to see the aura of others.

Enhanced Senses
Like all other Neph, Anna has enhanced senses that include hearing, seeing, touching etc

Sighting Angels
Like all other Neph, Anna can see the angels of each human as well as spirits.

Wielding the Sword of Righteousness
Anna is the only Neph who can wield the Sword of Righteousness, and there is a prophecy about her stopping the reign of the Dukes.

Knife Throwing
After separation from Kaidan, Anna takes up knife throwing to defend herself as it makes her feel closer to Kaidan. He was shown to be impressed by her skills,
