Annie is usually quite strict. She takes her show very seriously and always does whatever it takes to keep it going. She was also worried about Beowulf and basically told him to stay away from the Skullgirl, as he could die. She rescued him from a desperate situation along with most of the victims captured by Double, which shows she has a caring side. Over time, she softened up to Beowulf when she saw that he's not a bad person despite being "a bit of an idiot." She even allowed him to be part of the cast of her new crime-fighting series, a dynamic duo show, where he'll be the star.

Her mother's wish not only made her eternally young, but also rendered her unable to swear. She can get around this by saying less convincing versions like "Damn!" or using the classic "Uranus" joke.

Annie is intended to be an archetypal magical girl and appears to be primarily inspired by Sailor Moon, with her cosmic-themed appearance and abilities. She has turquoise hair in braids, a darker sea-green dress with matching shoes, and stars on her eye patch, clothing, and shoe soles. She carries a reddish-magenta pouch around her waist. Her eyes are yellow, and one of them is positioned in Sagan's mouth, resembling a rabbit doll with sharp teeth. Annie often drags or carries Sagan like a doll when he won't move on his own. She carries a sword whose hilt is the same color as her pouch and has a star on it.

Her mother was a former Skullgirl who wished Annie could remain a child forever. Annie now stars in the children's show Anti-Skullgirls and is much older than she appears. She conceals her obvious immortality by changing her hairstyle, so no one seems to notice and simply mistakes her for an actress. Her show, Annie of the Stars, is based on Annie's own life many generations ago.

Their program began as a radio show that aired when the kingdom of Canopy was ruled with an iron fist, circumventing strict regulations against the arts to provide the people with moral guidance. Eventually, after the show's popularity, the Renoirs greenlit a television adaptation.

Annie has fought against the two previous Skullgirls (Queen Nancy and Selene Contiello) and probably many more. Over the years, she has used different weapons and abilities.

Both Peacock and Parasoul are fans of his show, although Umbrella frequently mocks the latter for it.

The Medici Mafia is a criminal organization led by Lorenzo Medici that controls certain parts of the Canopy Kingdom. They have committed numerous crimes, and Parasoul pursues them to enforce the law. Other hunters include Ms. Fortune, Squigly, and Marie, who seek revenge, and Peacock, who seeks not only revenge but also amusement.

As seen in the webtoon Skullgirls, they are adored by the public, even more than the royal family, who see them as an opposition to Renoir's regime, and are ignored by a corrupt police force.

The patriarch of the family is currently Lorenzo Medici. He is followed by his three sons: Vitale, Marcus, and a third, unknown son.

The only known member of the next generation is Filia, though she is currently estranged from the family. According to Marie, she is related to the Mafia by blood. This is later confirmed in Filia's story, where it is revealed that she is the daughter of Marcus Medici, Vitale's brother. Cerebella works at the Mafia-sponsored circus and occasionally as a leg-breaker. She could also be considered part of the family, as Vitale is her adoptive father, though she may not be in a position to inherit the leadership and does not appear to bear his surname.

In episode 1 of the webtoon, Parasoul describes a member named Theodore Medici as a "person of interest in a criminal investigation."

The Black Herons are a group of soldiers in the service of Princess Parasoul. They wear pale green uniforms and masks, leaving only their yellow goggles visible. They are loyal to the royal family and will protect them to the death.

Very little is known about the history of the Black Herons. However, it is likely they existed when Queen Nancy became Skullgirl. It is unknown when the group was formed, but they could have been protecting the family for generations.

They are usually seen alongside Parasoul in both the stories and the game, often watching over her or informing her.

The weapons used by the Black Egrets are the same ones Germany used in World War II, such as the Maschinenpistole 40 (MP 40), the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44), and the Maschinengewehr 42 (MG 42). They can be seen during the "Inferno Brigade" event in Parasoul and in some cinematic scenes in story mode.
The Black Herons' flag is based on the Nazi German flag, but with an umbrella instead of a swastika. While their armbands were removed in both Skullgirls Mobile and Umbrella's story mode, before being completely eliminated, in Parasoul's story, the flag and banner seen during the introduction were edited, changing from red to a dull gray.
The Egrets are open to people from all walks of life. Although it is implied that they were more tyrannical during the reign of King Francis I.
The Black Egrets have different divisions and, therefore, variations in their uniforms. Concept art includes images of officers wearing trench coats and military caps.

Throughout the centuries, Annie has changed, adapted, and improved her combat skills, weapons, and style to suit the changing times and the threat of the Skullgirls created by the Skull Heart. The fact that she has dominated and defeated multiple Skullgirls in the past, despite being mortal, is a testament to her impressive skill, dedication, and strength in combat. Being prepared for the next Skullgirl means she is always training to become the best and strongest version of herself, both mentally and physically. She constantly updates her arsenal and combat abilities.

Currently, her fighting style appears to consist of three main elements: her sword, her parasitic companion Sagan, and her own martial arts prowess. She is seen channeling cosmic powers into her attacks to enhance them, which is reflected in a hazy effect that follows her movements and attacks. She is able to alternate between sword strikes, punches, kicks, and acrobatic maneuvers with ease in combat, often calling upon her parasitic companion Sagan, who also seems to possess several unique powers. Annie uses Sagan's malleable and expandable form to capture enemies inside his mouth and slam them to the ground in his "throwing" animation.
