Changes and Constants
Anna has trouble coming up with ideas for a new outfit to wear when visiting her grandmother's grave. With help from (Captain) and the others, she finally comes up with a new outfit inspired by Nightmare.
One day on the Grandcypher, (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn pay Anna a visit at her room.
Vyrn: Yo, Anna! You up for some tea and cookies?
Lyria: We've brought a fresh batch from the kitchen—oh, and they're cat shaped too!
Anna's Voice: Eep! Um, o-okay, I'll be there in a second!
Anna: Heh... Hehehe... Welcome, everyone.
Any version of Anna is a crew member
The young witch's name is Anna. Having spent an extended period of time isolated from others, she has a shy disposition.
She once lived in the forest together with her grandmother.
However, once her caretaker passed, Anna had nobody left but Nightmare, her stuffed animal friend.
One day, after stumbling upon her home by chance, (Captain) and the others invited her to join the Grandcypher crew.
Anna: A different... island? You, uh... you crossed the sky to get here?
Anna: I... I've been here as long as I can remember.
Anna: I guess I'm kind of... envious.
So began the first page of a new chapter in Anna's life.
On that day, a young recluse flew her sylvan nest to embark on a brave new journey across the skies.
Anna: So kind of you to drop by... Please, come in!
Nightmare: Fair warning, the room's a bit untidy, but you're just gonna have to deal!
Upon entering the room, (Captain) and the others notice her floor is covered in fabric samples and crumpled sketching paper.
Vyrn: You call this a "bit untidy"? It looks like this place got hit by a tornado.
Nightmare: Yeah, well... nobody said you had to look at it!
Anna: S-sorry, I was... just trying to sew some new clothes.
Anna timidly shows (Captain) and the others a sketchbook full of drawings.
Anna: So... You remember when you said we'd be visiting my grandmother's grave, right?
Vyrn: Now that you mention it, we are gettin' pretty close to your old stomping grounds.
Lyria: Oh, I get it! You want to make a new outfit just for the occasion, right?
Nightmare: That was the idea... But little Miss Choosy-Pants over here can't even settle on a design!
Anna: I just... I want to show her how much I've changed—how much I've grown. You know?
Any version of Korwa is a crew member
Anna: I've looked into all kinds of books about tailoring and dressmaking, and even asked Korwa for help...
No version of Korwa in crew
Anna: I've looked into all kinds of books about tailoring and dressmaking, and even went around some boutiques in town...
Anna: Unfortunately, nothing really seemed to fit what I was looking for...
Lyria: I totally understand how you're feeling, Anna. You want to make sure your grandma sees you at your very best, right?
Vyrn: In that case, you can count us in on this little project too! Right, (Captain)?
The captain nods enthusiastically at the idea.
Anna: Would you really? I really don't know what to say...
Nightmare: With all our heads workin' together, we're sure to come up with a hit!
A few hours later...
Anna: Oh! How about something a little more daring, like a miniskirt?
Nightmare: Looks more like a microskirt if you ask me. Do you even have the guts to flaunt something like that in public?
Vyrn: Good point. Be a waste of time makin' fancy clothes, only for you to chicken out of wearin' them.
Anna: Th-then how about something cute and frilly? That should have some impact...
Nightmare: There's no way we'd be able to put somethin' this intricate together in just a few days!
Lyria: Plus, all that cloth's going to weigh you down... It'll probably be hard to walk.
Nightmare: Nope, nope, nope! Next idea!
Nightmare continues to reject Anna's ideas, one after another.
The discarded sketches continued to pile up in her room.
Anna: Ngh... I'm at a total loss, you guys...
Anna: I thought I'd grown during our journey, you know? Gotten more sure of myself.
Anna: But I guess... maybe I haven't changed that much after all...
Anna squeezes her sketchbooks tightly to her chest.
Sensing her anguish, (Captain) offers another angle.
Choose: You don't have to force yourself to change.
Anna: But... I was just a dark and gloomy witch in the woods before.
Anna: It was thanks to you that I was able to come out of my shell.
Lyria: That's not true! You were always a kind and lovely person, even before we met you!
Vyrn: Yeah! Even though we ended up at your house by mistake, you were nice enough to hear us out anyway!
Vyrn: And if you ask me, that's something to be proud of! Right, (Captain)?
Anna: Yeah, you're right... Hehe.
This actually takes me back a little...
This actually takes me back a little...
Anna: "Lovely", huh? My grandmother used to always say the same thing...
Choose: I liked what you wore when we first met you.
Anna: That dark and gloomy thing? To be honest, I do feel the most comfortable in it but... it's rather plain, don't you think?
Anna: And you guys prefer brighter, sunnier outfits anyway, right?
Lyria: That's not true!
Lyria: I mean, you're really pretty in swimsuits and bold colors, but...
Lyria: I think you look adorable in your original witch outfit too!
Vyrn: And anyways, you should wear what you wanna wear—not just stuff that's trendy, you know?
Anna: Yeah, you're right... Hehe.
All this talk's giving me déjà vu.
All this talk's giving me déjà vu.
Anna: My grandmother always told me not to mind what other people think, and do things my own way...

Anna: She was always there to encourage me when I was feeling gloomy or burnt-out.
Grandma: Anna, you have a very kind and lovely heart.
Grandma: So don't ever let others prevent you from being yourself, or doing what you want to do.
Grandma: Remember to always be true to yourself.
Anna: Always be true... to myself...
Vyrn: Think you've got something?
Anna: Yeah, actually!
Although reluctant at first, Anna shows the others her newly-made clothes a few days later.
Anna: Hehe... What do you think?
Lyria: Wow... You look absolutely darling!
Lyria: Aren't they? And they match Nightmare's too!
Anna: You noticed? I modeled them after his ears, actually...
Anna: I thought that maybe with Nightmare on my head, I could be a little more confident, you know?
Choose: Now you and Nightmare are a pair!
Anna: You noticed?
Anna: Nightmare's my best friend in the whole world...
Anna: What better inspiration for a new outfit, right?

Vyrn: Give us a twirl, Anna! Lookin' snazzy!
Nightmare: That goes without saying. Whole thing was modeled after me.
Anna: Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad everyone likes it.
Anna bashfully hides her face behind Nightmare.
Fortunately the stuffed animal doesn't completely obscure her face, revealing a proud smile for all to see.
