Profile
Ann Halford is a fifteen-year-old young woman who has traveled the roads of the Kingdom of Highland for a long time with her mother. The latter was a mistress of silver sugar, that is to say, a confectioner whose talent was recognized by the royal family. She taught him her skills and the means to make her best creations. She also taught her to refine most silver sugar, an ingredient for realizing her work.

Her mother being her only family, Ann was particularly affected by her death, which occurred on her fifteenth birthday. So she hit the road shortly after the funeral to reach Lewiston, where a candy contest is held in late fall. She thus hopes to obtain the title of the mistress of silver sugar, which will allow her to make a recognized sugar confectionery for the Day of pure souls. This winter celebration allows the living to say goodbye to the deceased of the year. It's a way for her to pay homage to her mother.

This ambition is so important to her that when Jonas steals her trailer with the creation she wanted to submit to enter the contest, she begs Shall to recover her property rather than take responsibility for her safety. But Shall refuses.

Ann acquires Shall Fen Shall on her journey to Lewiston. Indeed, she knows she cannot make the journey without an escort and buys a warrior fairy to protect her along the bloody road.

Naive and rocked by the beautiful stories her mother told her as a child, Ann has a very different attitude from other humans toward fairies. This is what prompted her to help Mythrill Lid Pod and promise Shall to set him free once they arrive in Lewiston, but Shall finds it very hard to believe her. Despite this, Ann offers him to be friends, but he refuses, pointing out that he is still subject to her will since she has one of his wings. She, therefore, resolves to play the role of mistress until the end of the trip, even if she is highly reluctant to give him orders. A reluctance that only increases when Shall tells him about Liz, as she realizes they have both been hurt by losing a loved one.

Ann is courted by Jonas Under, the heir to a confectionery in the town where her mother died. She is not interested, however, and is convinced that he is asking her to marry him because he takes pity on her. She is shocked when he takes advantage of the trip to Lewiston to steal her trailer and creation.
