Anby Demara is a core melee fighter in the Cunning Hares, the small odd-job agency in New Eridu that takes Hollow-related commissions no one else will touch. She wields a sword channeled with Electric damage and specializes in Stun — interrupting enemy chains, staggering bosses, and generating energy through her signature Dodge Counter to keep her EX Special Attack cycling. Within the team she is the reliable sword: Nicole calls the plan, Billy provides ranged fire, and Anby executes, cleanly and without complaint.
Her backstory is one of the more mysterious in Zenless Zone Zero's early chapters. Anby is a former soldier of the New Eridu Defense Force, a detail she rarely volunteers and others rarely press. Nicole Demara took her in as an adoptive sister, giving the taciturn ex-soldier a place in the civilian world — and in the Cunning Hares' cramped office. Anby lacks basic social skills: small talk baffles her, chocolate is her primary motivator, and most conversations end with a clipped mission-status report. That deadpan awkwardness is a huge part of her appeal, and it is exactly the energy an Anby AI voice direction should preserve.
Her English voice is performed by Sam Slade (a Filipino-American voice actress and percussionist), whose restrained, low-key delivery sells Anby's quiet competence and faint social confusion. The Japanese voice is handled by Atsumi Tanezaki, known for Anya Forger in Spy x Family, who brings a softer emotional undercurrent to the same character. When CharaVox generates an Anby-inspired reference clip, the prompt targets her character performance traits — flat affect, military brevity, faint warmth around Nicole and chocolate, and electric-sword action presence — without replicating either performer's real recordings.
On this page the workflow stays practical: original sample lines that nod to mission reports, Hollow patrols, and Nicole's chaotic commissions rather than copyrighted story beats, a generated local-model reference audio target, links to related Zenless Zone Zero characters like Nicole Demara and Billy Kid, and prompt direction that describes tone instead of naming performers. The result is an Anby voice card you can drop into fan edits, proxy-agency skits, Hollow exploration narration, and crossover shorts without crossing into official audio territory.
