Anya (May in the NES version) is a minor character in Dragon Quest IV.
Appearance[]
Anya looks like Alena except for blonde hair.
Personality[]
Anya initially decided to begin posing as Tsarevna Alena just for fun, but the more attention and pampering she received, the harder it became for her to stop the act, only being able to do so after the traumatic events of her kidnapping. Despite her imposter way of life, she still had moral standards, never accepting money from the people she decieved and only willing to accept preferential treatments such as free lodging in an inn, and she genuinely cared for her friends that posed for her as Alena's companions.
