Anne Savisa Boonchuy (/sɑːˈviːsɑː ˈbuːntʃɔɪ/ sah-VEE-sah BOON-choy; Thai: แอนน์ สาวิสา บุญช่วย) is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel animated series Amphibia, created by Matt Braly. Voiced by actress Brenda Song, the character debuted in the pilot, "Anne or Beast?" and made her last appearance in the series finale, "The Hardest Thing". Anne is a Thai-American human girl who, on her 13th birthday, gets magically transported to Amphibia alongside her friends Sasha and Marcy after opening a mysterious music box known as the Calamity Box. Upon her arrival, an anthropomorphic family of frogs called the Plantars find her, and over time they form a bond. She is also discovered by the town of Wartwood, who reluctantly let her stay with them.[7]

Anne has been well-received by critics, who praised her character, Song's voice performance, and her coming-of-age evolution through the series.[8][9][10][11]
