History
Ani is one of Mai's friends. She sits behind her in Physics class. At the beginning of the film, when Mai tried to kick the ball into the goal for soccer practice, the ball went off, hit the pole, and then bumped into Ani. When Mai came over to Ani to help her and apologize, she felt better. During their conversation, Greenwood bumps into Mai and then rudely asks her about her Dad, which angers Mai. Ani told Mai if they can leave, but she already knew what Mai was doing. Later on, when Ani was listening to music, Greenwood pushed her to the ground and Ani yelled, "Why are you so mean to everyone?" in a state of anger and annoyance. Greenwood told one of her robots to apologize, but in a way to annoy her again by knocking down her books. Mai and 7723 came to her rescue by attacking Greenwood and her robots. Ani was shocked and surprised to see that Mai came to attack Greenwood again. At the end of the film, Ani appears again, wearing soccer clothes and played with Mai, 7723, and Greenwood and her friends.

Personality

When Greenwood pushed Mai for the field, she kindly told Mai if they can just leave so that they don't cause more trouble. When Mai wanted to attack Greenwood, she got scared and shocked. She also seems a bit nerdy, such as when she is wearing glasses and holding books. When Greenwood pushed her, knocking her books, she got into a fit of rage and was brave enough to stand against her. She also seems to have a bold side to herself such as when she yelled at Greenwood. When Mai defended her, she got scared and shocked again. At the end of the film, she became cheerful again and became more supportive to help with Mai.
