Anya Forger was adopted by Loid Forger, a master spy operating under the codename "Twilight," from a rundown orphanage. This adoption was a crucial step for Loid to complete his top-secret mission, Operation Strix, which required him to form a temporary family.
Anya's Challenging Past Before Adoption
Before meeting Loid, Anya experienced a difficult and unstable childhood. She was transferred between various institutions and temporary homes, highlighting a history of instability that ultimately led her to the place where Loid found her:
- Fostering: Anya had been fostered and subsequently returned on four separate occasions. This suggests a pattern of difficult adjustments or unsuitability with previous families.
- Orphanages: She was transferred between two different orphanages before eventually ending up at a particularly "shady orphanage." This final location is where Loid discovered her.
- Identity: During these transitions, Anya went by different surnames, indicating a lack of consistent identity prior to becoming "Forger."
This turbulent background meant Anya was seeking a stable home, and coincidentally, Loid was in urgent need of a child for his mission.
| Prior Circumstance | Description |
|---|---|
| Foster Care | Fostered and returned four times, indicating repeated rejections. |
| Orphanage Transfers | Moved between two different orphanages before her final location. |
| Surnames | Used multiple different surnames, reflecting a lack of permanent family name. |
| Final Location | Ended up at a shady orphanage where she was eventually discovered. |
Loid Forger's Quest for a Family
Loid Forger, known as Twilight, was tasked with Operation Strix, a mission critical for maintaining peace between Westalis and Ostania. A key requirement of this mission was to infiltrate the prestigious Eden Academy by having a child enroll and then approach a target. This necessitated Loid creating a temporary family.
- The Search: Loid visited several orphanages, meticulously looking for a child who could pass the difficult Eden Academy entrance exams.
- Encounter at the Shady Orphanage: During his search, Loid arrived at the aforementioned shady orphanage. It was here that he met Anya, who, unbeknownst to him, possessed telepathic abilities. Anya, eager to be adopted and sensing Loid's thoughts about needing a child, deliberately used her powers to impress him with her apparent intelligence (by reading his thoughts and providing correct answers to his mental questions).
- The Adoption: Loid, convinced by Anya's seemingly remarkable academic prowess and her desperate desire to be adopted, chose her. Her unique abilities and quick wit, often misinterpreted by Loid as brilliance, made her an ideal candidate for his mission's initial requirements. He legally adopted her, giving her the surname Forger.
Thus, Anya's adoption was a blend of her desperate need for a family and Loid's strategic need for a child to execute his critical mission, forging the unique Forger family unit.
