Anaanaana

Anaanaana was the babysitter of Ava and Edam in the first book of season 3, Paws To New Lands.

Appearance
Anaanaana had brown fur, black stripes, black eyes, medium body, poison fangs, stinky tail and two deformed paws. She was smaller than other members of the Family and had a stinky tail, so they kind of stayed away from her.

Anaanaana had a strong personality and would not hesitate to stand up to neeshlings who badmouthed her. She did know about her heritage and hated her father a lot. She tried her best to contribute to the Family by babysitting small neeshlings and teaching them about the danger of bluebirds, although sometimes, she just wanted to leave the island and started a new life of her own.

Background
Her mother was a scout of the Family. When she left the Island to investigate a neighboring patch of land, she crashed into a rogue male and got impregnated. It is speculated that Anaanaana wasn't really the child of her, since she was totally different from what they first expected.

Other babies stayed away from her and she was often bullied by the stronger neeshlings. Therefore, she toughened up and proved to them that she could still be helpful in other ways. When she grew up, she took the role of a babysitter and raised the twins when their parents weren't home. She grew close to them, especially Edam. Still, after hearing Adam's speech about the outside world, she had always dreamt of a chance to see the unknown and be a wanderer. But the children were important, too, so she patiently waited for the chance to come. And Venayena knew how to take advantage of it...

Notable events
In Turnback, she is described as "an overprotective second-mother who always goes around to check on food and stuff". She spends much time looking after the babies and stops Ava from sneaking out a few times in the book, takes care of Edam and Vannuku when they get injured, while telling the babies the stories she has heard from Adam.

In Paws to New Lands, she suddenly becomes more aggressive and often scowls the babies. It was this time that she got influenced by Venayena and has a strong desire to leave the island. As Venayena, she offers the twin, who have been following her, a chance to leave the island without anyone knowing, which Ava quickly accepted. After they have left, she also runs away and is never seen again in this series, although they does mention her a few times.

In Tales of the Untold, Anaanaana is seen wandering on a lush jungle island. With her new companion Leaky who has been helping her avoid the redbulbs, she becomes a great adventurer and lives the life she has always wanted. Still, she wishes that she could meet the Family again and apologize for her actions.
