In Sicily, Arabic communities and places of study were abundant and Anaan was easily able to loose herself amongst her brethren. She became a teacher, denying all claims to the title of Princess that was hers. Her beauty and outspokenness made her a joy to the community, and a constant source of wonder and amusement to the Sicilians. She attracted the attention of many learned women, a rarity in any age, many who became her dearest friends. One of these women happened to be Marie Priscus. The two shared many discussions in Anaan's private home and study, and many of Anaan's publics works were the result of funding from Marie Priscus herself.

Marie admired the indomitable spirit Anaan possessed, and Anaan admired Marie because she was a woman of knowledge and wealth, who also possessed a great kindness and generosity. A bond between the two, much like sisters, was not long in forming. At the age of thirty, Anaan contracted pneumonia from one of the children she taught. It started out as a simple cold and cough, and Anaan ignored it in favor of teaching her students. The illness progressed so soon that if left Anaan severely weakened and on the verge of death. A cure was slow in coming, but it did. Anaan, though, was left weaker and less determined than she had been. The vitality in her eyes remained, but her body would not do her bidding, and it was obvious that though she was cured, Anaan would not live long after her system suffering such a blow. Marie despaired over the loss of such a great mind and spirit. She offered Anaan a choice: To die in Sicily, or to become Immortal.

Anaan knew that her dreams of having children were gone with the sickness, and that she would never be able to teach, or to experience life as she once did. Still, she was unsure if she would be able to endure Immortality. In the end, the decision was clear, and Marie Priscus Embraced her. Anaan felt the strength returning, felt as if she had been made new, and in a way she had. She tackled life with a new drive, exploring everything as if it would be ripped from her grasp. Around the time of the roaring twenties, during her time as a lounge singer, Anaan changed her name to Anne to cope with the fast moving times.

She has lived several lifetimes, and anticipates living hundreds more. Marie is her confidant and closest friend, and over the years they have kept in touch. Anne is never far from her Clan when she can help it. They are her Family, and there are times when she wishes nothing more than to be surrounded by them.

She lives in Sicily, still, in a large villa near the water. She sponsors dozens of children's educations each year, as she cannot have any so she makes up for this with taking care of those still out there.

She does not kill to live, but she does hunt, leaving her victims alive and clueless. She despairs pain in her own life, and would not wish to pass it on to others.
