Anne Sherry (アン・シェリー, An Sherī) is Katarina Claes's personal maid.

Background
Anne was born in a countryside baron’s family. Her father is Baron Sherry and her mother is one of his family servants. She grew up in a small house that was close by the Sherry mansion. She was conceived in the mood of the moment, and her mother would always tell her that she was Baron Sherry’s mistress for only a very short time.

“Please do as the Baron-sama says, and if he likes you you’ll be able to move up in the world. Never be rebellious.”

Those words were repeated to Anne so much that they were engraved into her body and soul. She obeyed those words, and did as the baron said according to her mother’s wishes, and never said anything against him, and was thus liked by him and moved up in the world. As a result, while she wasn’t called to go live in the baron’s mansion, he didn’t treat her badly, and she was able to live comfortably.

However, everything came to an end when a fire burned her house which happened when she turned 15 and everything was gone in an instant. She managed to escape somehow with only a big burn on her back, but her mother passed away. While I was stunned at the sudden turn of events, the baron summoned her to his mansion for the first time since she was born.When Anne had thought she had gain the baron’s favor, that was the time the baron threw her. He didn’t treat Anne badly because, he never had any interest in her. She was only a political tool.

After having lost both her place to live and reason to be, she came to see Duke Claes who was distantly related to her, and was hired as a maid and began apprenticing herself here. And so, she became the personal maid of Katarina Claes, the only daughter of Duke Claes. The first time that she met Katarina, while her face was cute in its own way, her tight, upturned eyes gave off quite the strong impression. At that time, Katarina was a typical spoiled rich brat, and she had quite the arrogant and selfish personality.

After working for such a Katarina for a few months, the accident which caused a scar on Katarina's forehead occurred. Anne was surprised because she changed her attitude. Katarina always looked down on the servants so arrogantly, such a Katarina who was used to living in the lap of luxury, had completely calmed down, to the point where the servants were worried about her, she’s completely turned into a kind and benevolent lady.

Katarina Claes
Anne first worked for Katarina after the fall of Baron Sherry, a distant relative of the Claes family. She became her exclusive maid when Katarina was 8 years old, where Anne was 15 years old at the time.

After remembering her memories, Anne was unable to read Katarina and predict her moves. As Anne was unused to her behavior, she no longer had her calm facade and began to show her true colors.

She is grateful to Katarina for not throwing her away like an unwanted tool and accepting her just as who she is. She decides to serve her even after she gets married.

Her loyalty towards Katarina makes the rest of Giord and the others suspicious as they wonder if they are, like them, romantically interested in Katarina but Anne remains unaware and the answer remains unknown.
