Anzu is a main character from Persona 6 If. They're a third year student at Koden High School and an idol turned internet personality.

Design:

Anzu has a very androgynous appearance with a tall and slender figure, short brown hair, and striking crimson eyes.

During school in colder months, Anzu wears a white long-sleeved dress shirt under a tan-colored sweater vest along with a pair of the male uniform pants, and a pair of brown sneakers. In the warmer months, Anzu wears the blouse and skirt version of the female uniform with black leggings and brown loafers.

Outside of school in the colder months, Anzu wears a crimson sweater dress with a white scarf and white thigh-high boots. In the warmer months, Anzu wears a white shirt under an open red and black plaid shirt along with a pair of khaki shorts and white sneakers.

In the Other World, Anzu's outfits change into an outfit inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. A white blouse with puffy sleeves under a brown corset and a pair of brown puffy shorts. On their legs is a pair of white thigh-high ruffle socks that are connected with garters, and a pair of brown clogs. Lastly on Anzu's head is a large red hood that is held in place with a giant red bow located under Anzu's chin.

Personality:

Anzu is a very mischievous character and would easily tease the main cast with their androgynous appearance, mainly with Miharu, Kokoro, and Hachirō. This is mainly due to their idol work as their personality involved teasing the others in their idol group. In reality, they're a kind-hearted and extremely selfless person who helps others with their problems by giving them tough love, but doesn't acknowledge their own problems. The only people who can see through Anzu are Miharu (in the later ranks of their social link), Tomoya, and Nozomi and would support Anzu by trying to help them with their own problems.
