'''Anessa''' is a character from {{DQB2}}, being an inhabitant of the besieged kingdom of [[Moonbrooke]]. She is the general of the Moonbrooke Brigade of Guards, and the kingdom's greatest tactician. She and [[Warwick]] serve as knights and advisors to the [[King of Moonbrooke]].

==Appearance and Personality==

Anessa has icy blue eyes and lavender hair, masked by a helmet resembling that of a Roman ''galea''. She wears a red tunic with maroon pants, a black belt with a large yellow-gold buckle and matching orange gloves and boots. Her chest is protected by an [[iron cuirass]], and her character art depicts her with an [[iron broadsword]], although she initially appears with a [[copper sword]].

Her chest is protected by an [[iron cuirass]], and her character art depicts her with an [[iron broadsword]], although she initially appears with a [[copper sword]]. Like all other NPCs on the island of Moonbrooke, her idle animation is of her rubbing her arms to stay warm in the cold.

She is a very stern young woman, befitting her position in the Moonbrooke military, but she harbors a vulnerable side she shows only to those who have earned her utmost trust. She suggests the [[Builder (Dragon Quest Builders 2)|Builder]] build a [[List of room recipes in Dragon Quest Builders 2|play room]] on the [[Isle of Awakening]], but she is averse to the idea of secretly enjoying cute things and stuffed animals when she is confronted directly after her request. Villagers are also known to call her a "stubborn stick-in-the-mud" as per one of her lines, and she attempts to get rid of this title with various methods such as singing tunelessly, like [[Haydin]] the bard. Anessa is distrustful of [[Malroth (Character)|Malroth]] during much of the campaign, but softens up to him after fighting side-by-side.

Line 48:

{{spoiler|start}}It is later revealed that the world that the Builder and Malroth are exploring is nothing but an illusion created by [[Hargon]]. Anessa is one of the illusions created to populate the illusory world.

==Etymology==

Anessa and Warwick's French names ("Athéna" and "Martial") derive from gods of war (Greek goddess "Athena"; Roman god "Mars").

==Trivia==

* Anessa and Warwick may be a parallel to {{Dragon Quest XI}}'s [[Hendrik]] and [[Jasper]].

** Both their ~~French names~~ (~~"Athéna"~~ and ~~"Martial"~~) ~~derive~~ from ~~gods~~ of war ~~(Greek goddess "Athena"~~; ~~Roman god~~ "~~Mars~~").

** Both are pairs of knights whom so happen to be the two right-hand-men and close advisors to their Kings (the King of Moonbrooke/[[King Carnelian]])

** Both trained together for a long time before the events of their respective games.

** Out of the pairs, one of the two (Anessa/Jasper) is the tactician and one (Warwick/Hendrik) is the swordsman.

** One (Warwick/Jasper) betrays their kingdom (Moonbrooke/[[Heliodor]]) due to feeling unheard by their peers (Warwick's pleas for the King; Jasper's envy for Hendrik's glory) and promises from the monsters (the [[Wrecktor]]/[[Mordegon]]), eventually turning into a monster with grey skin and wings (a [[silvapithecus]]/[[Jasper Unbound]]).

** This traitor is mentioned to advise their King to pursue a course of action that detriments their kingdom (not technically true in the case of Jasper).

** The two in the pairs also parallel each-other. For Hendrik and Jasper, they represent yin and yang, with Hendrik's armour being black and Jasper's being silver. For Anessa and Warwick, their original stances on the war are vastly different to their final stance once the traitor is revealed; while Warwick is initially enthusiastic about building and winning the war, he later says that "it matters not who wins this accursed war" and sticking to the values of the Children of Hargon. On the other hand, Anessa initially appears to stick to the Children's beliefs but later reveals that she had always loved building since she was a child. Moreover, Anessa's main colour in her design is red, while Warwick's is blue, which are complementary colours on the colour wheel.

* After the events of Moonbrooke, on the Isle of Awakening, one of [[Digby]]'s dialogue lines has him mention that Anessa came to him and his close friend [[Dougie]] asking the best way to build muscle.
