"For a thousand years I wielded the powers of the wish. I brought ruin to the heads of unfaithful men. I brought forth destruction and chaos for the pleasure of the lower beings. I was feared and worshiped across the mortal globe and now I'm stuck at Sunnydale High! Mortal. Child. And I'm flunking math." ―Anya
Anya has had many lives! She started out over a thousand years ago as Aud who lived in Sweden. After cursing her unfaithful lover she was approached by a demon (they are everywhere) with the offer of becoming an immortal demon and dedicating her life to vengeance. She accepted and was transformed into Anyanka, the Patron Saint Of The Women Scorned as she spent a very very long time granting the dark kind of wishes to the girlfriends and wives of men. She showed up one day in Sunnydale to grant a wish. She was stripped of her powers and made human and basically lived out the rest of her days in Sunnydale waiting for Xander to marry her. I chose to immortalize her in a skein of yarn as her Patron Saint of Women Scorned self!
