Anna Williams is a character in the Tekken series. She was introduced in the first Tekken game as the younger sister of Nina Williams, and has returned in almost every subsequent game She is an assassin trained in various martial arts, and always appears in her trademark red silk dress and/or a blue version of it.
Alongside her sister, Nina Williams, Anna was taught assassination arts by her father and Aikido by her mother. Anna developed a deadly rivalry with Nina, and the two would often attempt to humiliate or kill one another.
Anna attended the first two King of Iron Fist Tournaments. During the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Anna was captured by Tekken Forceand placed in cryosleep for the benefit of Mishima Zaibatsu research. Nina underwent cryosleep simultaneously.
Anna woke up from her cryosleep 15 years later. She learned that Nina had roused from her own cryosleep afflicted with amnesia, and felt compelled to help Nina and prevent her from becoming an assassin again. Any efforts Anna made to this end were apparently unsuccessful. During this period, Anna attended the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3.
In the two years following the third tournament, Anna's life became dull and boring. One day, however, she received a call from Nina. The two met a few days later, and, upon seeing Anna's face, Nina remembered their past. Nina opened fire on Anna, beginning a shoot off that lasted for days. Eventually, the two decided that they would settle the fight at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.Anna conceded an embarrassing defeat to Nina at the tournament. Though Anna sought an opportunity for revenge, she was unable to enact anything, as Nina disappeared shortly after the tournament's close.
Anna received a tip-off that Nina had begun working for the Mishima Zaibatsu, the corporation responsible for the war engulfing the world. Driven by the intense rivalry with her sister, Anna joined G Corporation, an organization opposing the Zaibatsu in the war. As a member of G Corp's Special Forces, Anna attended the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 and was once again defeated by Nina (both in a fight and in popularity rankings).Additionally, Anna came into conflict with Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch when they stormed Millennium Tower to apprehend her boss, Kazuya Mishima. She fought the pair on the roof of the building and, though she was defeated, Lars and Alisa failed to apprehend Kazuya.Later, during an encounter in Azazel's Temple, Anna threw a flash grenade to dazzle Lars and allow Kazuya to disengage from a fight with him.
Anna was heartbroken and exhausted by the endless fighting with her sister following her defeat at the sixth tournament. One of G Corp's executives comforted her during this time. Anna eventually fell in love and decided to marry him. Unfortunately, her fiancé was a mafia executive with enemies that wanted him killed.
On the day of their wedding, Anna realized her dress was missing as she was preparing for the ceremony. Moments later, shots rang out from the ceremony hall. Anna rushed to the scene to find her fiancé dead from a gunshot wound. She spotted Nina, the assassin hired to kill her fiancé, fleeing in her stolen wedding dress, and swore to take revenge.
Nina escaped Anna, and soon after, Anna was expelled from her position at G Corporation. Anna utilized an information network she still had access to in an attempt to discover the truth behind the series of events, and through this, learned of a darker side that her fiancé had been hiding from her. She was briefly grateful to Nina, wondering if Nina had been protecting her in some way by killing him before the two could marry. However, Anna was once again embittered upon learning that Nina was given her former position at G Corporation.
In her quest for vengeance, Anna contacted a weapons developer, Dr. Nakamura, to create a tool she could use to storm G Corporation and take down Nina once and for all. The doctor created a compact bazooka that Anna gave the name "Lovely Tom", and Anna overhauled her fighting style in order to prepare to face Nina.
Anna is Nina's little sister by three years.
Since childhood, Anna and Nina both learned assassin techniques from their father, but their father only showered Nina with affection. Unlike her sister who has become an active assassin, Anna desired an ordinary life; her father never forgave her for that.
Anna hates her unaffectionate father, his exclusive love; what's more, she envies Nina who succeeds in their father's craft; Anna grows tired waiting for her time of revenge.
Anna is the younger sister of Nina Williams. Anna learned her Aikido techniques from her mother, a national Aikido champion. Her father, Richard Williams, taught Nina assassination techniques, but he has neglected Anna for years and never taught them to her.
It seems as if Anna entered the first tournament to get back at her sister. What initially appeared to be a petty sibling rivalry, would then evolve into something more serious and deadly as the series progressed.[citation needed]
Although she has no ending of her own, Anna makes an appearance in Nina's ending. She bursts into the kitchen, accusing her sister of stealing one of her high heels. In anger and annoyance, Nina slaps her, and Anna turns away, sobbing. While Anna's back is turned, Nina reveals that she had the shoe the whole time.
Anna's dislike for her father and sister has gradually increased, and as expected, the rivalry between her and her sister still continues.
To call their rivalry mere quarrels would be an understatement; their rivalry has elevated to the next level. Nina has tried to take Anna out by attaching a bomb to her sister's car, and Anna has returned the favor with machinegun fire tearing through Nina's bedroom.
As in the first tournament, Nina was once again hired to assassinate the sponsor of the current tournament, Kazuya Mishima. Whether at Kazuya's discretion or Anna's own volition, Anna became a bodyguard for Kazuya, along with Ganryu and Bruce Irvin, who were all charged with Kazuya's protection. It is likely that Anna's intervention prevented her sister from carrying out her contract, and Nina was later captured by Mishima Zaibatsu forces and used in Doctor Bosconovitch's cryonics ('cold-sleep') research. Learning about this, Anna volunteered to be another test subject, requesting that she be woken in the future at the same time as Nina. Her reasons for doing so remain ambiguous, though it is suggested that Anna would have felt lonely without Nina and/or jealous at the thought of her sister's youth being preserved.[citation needed]
Anna is taking a shower. She turns the water off, grabs a towel, and gets out of the shower. Nina sneaks into the bathroom as Anna is looking into the mirror. Startled at Nina's appearance, Anna turns around, and Nina takes a picture of her with a camera. Nina holds up the picture, which shows Anna covering her bare breasts with her arms; she laughs.
Nineteen years ago, Kazuya Mishima confided some alarming news to Anna. Her sister, Nina Williams, was planning to become a guinea pig of Doctor Bosconovitch's "Cold Sleep". As much as they quarreled, Anna would miss her sleeping sister. Even worse was the fact that she would continue to age, while Nina was frozen in time. Anna went to Doctor Bosconovitch and requested to be put into cryosleep, asking to be awakened at the same time as her sister.
Sensing the God of Fighting's evil presence, both Nina and Anna awoke nineteen years later. Anna awoke without any side effects, but Nina had somehow lost all of her memories of Anna, which saddened Anna, because she was making an effort to continue their sibling rivalry. Now, rather than fighting Nina, Anna felt the need to help Nina and prevent her from again becoming an assassin.[citation needed]
The beautiful and deadly Anna Williams is Nina Williams's twin sister. Recently awakened after a 15-year sleep, Anna feels the need to help Nina and prevent her from becoming an assassin again.
"Pool Side" (Japanese version): Anna and Nina are lying on chairs at the beach. Three men approach the sisters, two of them dancing while the other flexes his muscles. Nina turns her head away, only to be pulled off of her chair by one of the men, who then attempts to dance with her. Meanwhile, Anna is shown with the other two men, enjoying their attention. Nina gives a disgusted look, and she breaks free of the man's grasp. Nina walks up behind Anna and pulls the upper half of Anna's bikini down, leaving her breasts exposed. A mortified look appears on Anna's face as she covers her breasts. Nina walks away, takes her sunglasses off, and smiles.

Anna suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of her sister, Nina, during The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Anna searched for an opportunity to exact her revenge on Nina after the fight; however, Nina had been hired for a covert operation by an unknown employer and has been virtually invisible since.

Anna suffered an embarrassing defeat to Nina during the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Anna searched for Nina, looking for an opportunity to exact her revenge. However, Nina had apparently been hired by someone and dropped off the radar. War engulfed the entire world, the chaos being triggered by the Mishima Zaibatsu's destructive covert operations. Anna caught wind of top secret information indicating that Nina was involved, so she decided to join the elite forces of the G Corporation due to the intense rivalry with her sister.
In a club where Nina and Anna are located, Anna goes first for billiards, chalking the nub of her cue up. Then, a thugenters to the other table, ready to play billiards as well. Anna bumps him with her buttocks against his accidentally, causing him to stumble. The thug waves his arms around madly to stabilize himself. Anna slyly apologizes.
As the thug turns around, Anna clubs him accidentally with a cue stick, and covers her mouth, feigning a shocked expression. The thug grows furious at Anna, who isn't phased, and drew his knife. Nina struts up next to her sister and crosses her arms, both women staring the thug down. The thug lunges his knife at Anna, but Anna counters the man and knees him in the groin, allowing Nina to launch him into the air with her Geyser Cannon kick. Anna then follows up with the Can Opener kick, which sends the thug flying; he lands onto his pool table, dazed from the beating he had just received. "Wow," Nina says to her sister. Standing behind the bar is Lee Chaolan, who gives the sisters a thumbs-up for their performance, surprising Nina.
Anna works for Kazuya in the Campaign, guarding the entrance to the G-Corp Millennium Tower. Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch manage to beat her, but Anna orders her armed men to surround the pair. She then retreats into the G-Corp Tower.
Lars and Alisa manage to infiltrate the tower, though at the expense of Lars's lieutenant, Tougou, who is killed in action against Anna's troops. Lars and Alisa meet Anna again on the roof as she stalls them from reaching Kazuya on the helipad. She fights the pair backed up by G-Corp soldiers, but is again defeated.
Later, when Lars and Kazuya fight at the entrance to Azazel's Temple , Anna throws a gas grenade to allow Kazuya to retreat, and accompanies him as they leave the temple.
After the events of the King of Iron Fist Tournament, Anna's heart grew tired of endless fighting. Following her retirement, she met and fell in love with an elite soldierfrom the G Corporation. But, on the day of their wedding, tragedy occurred. Whilst getting ready for the big day, the sound of gun shots filled the main hall. Anna rushed to the noise, arriving to find her fiancé dead and sister fleeing the scene. Anna, fueled by rage, decided to return to the fight once more.
Anna Williams was assigned to lead G Corporations Special Forces to fight against her sister, Nina Williams, with whom she has a fierce rivalry. However, Anna became exhausted by the endless fighting. Additionally, at the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6 (which Anna attended as part of her Special Forces work), Anna's popularity as a fighter ranked far below her sister's. Anna's heart broke as she was confronted by the difference in the world's perception of herself and her sister.
A G Corp executive began to show care for Anna during this time. Attracted to his kindness, Anna eventually fell in love and decided to marry him.
However, the man had a dark side: he was a mafia executive.
On the day of the wedding, an incident occurred. While Anna was getting ready in the waiting room of the wedding hall, she noticed that her pure white wedding dress was missing. Moments later, she heard gunshots and screams from the ceremony hall where the guests had gathered. Anna rushed there and saw that the ceremony hall had turned into the scene of a tragedy. Her fiancé had been shot and killed, leaving Anna a widow. She spotted the assailant fleeing the scene in her wedding dress.
Anna saw red and swore to take revenge on the person responsible.
Younger sister to Nina Williams, Anna Williams is breathtaking not only in her beauty but also her skills as a deadly former assassin, earning her the alias of "Scarlet Lightning".
Six months ago, Anna was working as an operations strategist for G Corporation after putting her life as a professional killer behind her. It was there she met the love of her life, a G Corp executive. Soon thereafter, they were set to marry.
But, on the day of her wedding, her husband-to-be was murdered by her sister Nina. To add salt to such a deep wound, Anna was also suddenly cut from her position at G Corp.
Burning with a fierce hatred towards Nina, Anna put her old information network to work once more to uncover the truth behind this series of devastating events.
To her surprise, she learned that her late fiancé had been colluding with a nefarious crime syndicate in secret. A true scumbag, through and through.
"Was she trying to...protect me from him...?"
It turned out that Nina had exterminated a pest Anna was unaware of. Regardless of whether this had been her sister's intention, Anna couldn't help but feel somewhat grateful.
The feeling didn't last long, though. Soon after, word reached Anna that Nina had taken over her old position at G Corp.
"I knew that sister of mine was a snake! At least now I can enjoy getting my sweet revenge."
Fueled once again by the thirst for vengeance, Anna placed an order with genius weapon developer Dr. Nakamura to create something she could use to storm G Corp and take down Nina.
What the doctor made for her was a compact weapon capable of transforming, allowing her to eliminate multiple targets at once with explosive firepower—a new friend she named "Lovely Tom."
In order to work in perfect harmony with Tom, Anna completely overhauled her fighting style.
"Just you wait, Nina. Lovely Tom and I will have you pleading for mercy on your knees before long."
Anna Williams is featured in Tekken: The Motion Picture. Anna was in a romantic relationship with Lee Chaolan, who hired Nina to assassinate Kazuya Mishima by convincing her he had romantic feelings for her. After staying the night with Lee in a hotel, Anna attacks Kazuya, Nina, and Jun Kazama, being forced to escape when her attack fails.
Later on in the film, Anna runs into Nina on the island, where they engage in combat. After a remark about their father, Anna escapes from a grab and taunts Nina about how Lee is not in love with her, and that he is actually with Anna herself. At the same time, Lee initiates his 'R Experiment', which releases a group of dinosaur clones onto the island. Even though the assistants tell Lee that Nina and Anna are still present on the island, Lee sees it as an opportunity for more test subjects. One dinosaur clone appears in full camouflage behind Anna and manages to attack and kill her while Nina escapes.
Anna appears as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament.
Set at the Nina-A stage, Ninais shown to be scolding Anna. Anna attempts to make amends with her sister, holding her hand out for a truce. Nina turns her head and sighs. After giving it some thought, Nina then reaches out her hand to make contact with Anna's. Nina, however, tricks Anna, pulling her sister into an arm lock. Nina smiles sadistically as Anna cries out in pain.
Anna was sent by Mishima Zaibatsu to assist in the procurement of Salacia. More Importantly, however, is the fact that Anna is Nina's sister. The two share some painful memories of their childhood and have yet to reconcile the past. Anna appears in Nina's 2005 spin-off game, Death by Degrees. In the game, Anna is a member of the Tekken Force. Anna is also fought as a boss twice in the game. Nina first encounters Anna when she is walking across an old bridge with Lukas Hayes. When Lukas opens the door, he is shocked to see Anna. Anna kicks him onto the bridge, and he falls through it. Then, Anna challenges Nina to a fight. Nina must defeat Anna while being careful not to fall through the bridge.
The bridge breaks on certain occasions, like when one of the two gets knocked down onto the bridge. Each section usually takes about three "hits" for it to break. After Nina wins, Type J is shown watching the two fight. It jumps onto the bridge, and predictably crashes right through it, Anna going down with it. Nina remains on the part of the bridge that didn't cave in. It is revealed that Lukas got caught in some ropes, which saved his life. Then, Anna falls onto him. They both fall and land on sandbags. Anna runs away while Type J targets Lukas.
Near the end of the game, Nina is trying to escape the Amphitrite, which is about to blow up due to a self-destruct feature being activated. While Nina tries to grab onto the ladder that a helicopter above deployed, Anna kicks Nina. Then, Anna challenges Nina to a fight once again. Nina must fight Anna while avoiding flaming barrels that are rolling down the platform and into the water below. Two cutscenes are shown during this fight. After Nina wins the fight, Anna almost falls into the water below. Nina grabs her hand, and then reminisces about when their father, Richard Williams, and others were killed with gunfire, and Anna comforted her afterwards.
Anna appears in the Tekken live-action movie along with her sister Nina both of them are sponsored by Eyederdex. They are both assassins who work for Kazuya Mishima, and appear to be his lovers as well. He sends the sisters to kill his son, Jin Kazama. They follow Jin as he makes out with Christie Monteiro in a room. As Christie leaves, they lock Jin in the room and beat him. However, before they can kill him, Christie returns, and the sisters flee. Anna later assists her sister as she is about to fight against Christie in the tournament.
Anna appeared in the CG Tekken movie, Blood Vengeance as one of the main characters.
Anna appears as a playable character in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
Born to a family of assassins, Anna was taught the basics of assassination along with her sister, Nina, from a young age. Their father's affection was always for Nina, however, so Anna's jealousy eventually turned to a deep-seated hatred for her sister. Over their years, their rivalry has intensified. Their sibling rivalry is so fierce, that Anna would blast a missile at Nina in a heartbeat.
"Come on. Show me a good time."
Anna steps out of a limo and walks down a red carpet, akin to a Hollywood movie premiere. Anna stops and poses for many cameras; several roses are thrown at her. Anna catches a rose in her mouth, and then turns her attention to Nina, who is sitting in a car and aiming at Anna with a sniper rifle. She tosses the rose towards Nina, along with a knife, which hits the scope of Nina's rifle, knocking Nina down. Anna continues to strut down the red carpet, eventually making her way up some steps. Zafina is then seen, stepping out of the crowd with two daggers hidden behind her back. Anna poses again, cleverly hiding two knives behind her as well. As Zafina steps out of the crowd, Anna throws the knives towards her. However, Zafina deflects the knives with her daggers, impaling the knives into the floor. Gas is then emitted from the knives, shrouding Zafina as she coughs. With Zafina subdued, Anna reveals a rocket launcher. Kunimitsu is then seen leaping into the air, preparing to land an attack on Anna. However, Anna fires a rocket at Kunimitsu. As the rocket strikes Kunimitsu, several fireworks go off. Anna poses for the cameras with her rocket launcher once more.
Anna makes a small appearance in Tekken: Bloodline as one of the competitors in the third King of Iron Fist Tournament. Her first match ends with an off-screen victory against Yoshimitsu, but she is later defeated by Hwoarang.
