Anna Milton is a fictional character portrayed by Julie McNiven on The CW Television Network's drama and horror television series Supernatural. Introduced in the fourth season as a mental patient sought by both demons and angels for her ability to hear Heaven's communications, she is eventually revealed as an angel herself who took human form out of a desire for human emotions. She assists series protagonists Sam and Dean Winchester after returning to her angelic form, but attempts to erase them from existence in the fifth season to avert the apocalypse. McNiven was unaware during her audition that she would be revealed as an angel, but felt that Anna learning the truth gave the character strength. In her opinion, Anna did what she believed was best for humanity, even if her decisions were hasty. Although McNiven received general praise for her debut and chemistry with actor Jensen Ackles, who portrays Dean, critics thought that the character lacked direction in her later appearances and questioned her ultimate betrayal.
