First appearance: August 5, 1924

Personal History: Orphaned at birth, but adopted by millions of families around the world. Annie frequently carries the troubles of the world on her shoulders, fighting the most dastardly villains and clever criminals in the world. A frequent flyer, Annie is the co-pilot on Amelia Santiago's assignments in China, South America and lost civilizations. Even though today's Annie prefers jeans and a T-shirt to her trademark little red dress, underneath she's the Annie we've grown to love honest, brave, true and spunky.

Historical background: America's beloved orphan, Annie is known for her pluck and indomitable spirit. She's tough with a heart of gold and a fast left. Annie has taken care of herself in a world full of corrupt judges and greedy tax collectors bent on stealing farms from honest folks and with powerful big-government interests bent on robbing the common citizen of freedom and dignity. Despite her trademark blank eyes, Annie's perceptive vision often recognizes villainy and deception.

Ethnic Origin: All-American Girl

Place of Residence: Occasionally you'll find Annie under her ward's wing, but mostly Annie is home on the route of adventure.

Personality Traits: Brave, indomitable, spirited, down-to-earth and independent.
