Stardust Wink/Characters
The characters of the manga series Stardust Wink:
Apartment Residents
Anna Koshiro
 |
Voiced by: Mariya Ise (vomic) |

Anna is a fourteen-year-old Genki Girl who believes she will never fall in love with her childhood friends, Sou and Hinata. She lives in room 302 of their apartment complex.

- Dogged Nice Girl
- The Ditz/Dumb Blond

- Hair of Gold
- Nice Girl
- Oblivious to Love: Anna doesn't notice Sou has feelings for her until he flat-out tells her, and even that she initially believes he's lying. They briefly date only because Sou was able to kiss her (and Anna believes if Sou can kiss her, then it must mean she likes him back), but she really has no idea what's going on when they're going out, and they break up and stay friends. It also takes Mashiro to remind her that her first love is Hinata, and she's in denial of it until she gets jealous when she discovers Mochizuki has a crush on Hinata.

When Sou begins to distance himself from Anna, Hinata becomes interested in winning Anna over, gives her a kiss, asks her out on a date, — basically things one would normally not possibly do with someone who is Just Friends with another.
