Anne is the only sister of Benjamin and Harry, both of whom adore her, so she is well looked after. She has reserved tendencies but can be something of a cut-up when she is having fun with her brothers. She is very proper and does everything just as a girl should.

Her hair is light blonde, shoulder length, that she wears curled with simple clips, ribbons, etc. She is near-sighted, so she sometimes wears glasses. She rarely wears slacks and is most often found in plain skirts with blouses. One of her hobbies is riding horses which she raises at Everley. Another thing she enjoys is collecting china teacups.

In October 1939, when Harry joins the RAF, Anne stays on at Everley to manage the farming of the estate. New land is turned up for raising war crops, so she hires Land Girls from a nearby hostel.

Two of the Land Girls that come to live at Everley are Elizabeth Caplan and Tamsin York. It is not long before the girls become close friends.
