Ann Lance

Ann Lance is an alter that presides primarily on genericartistblog on tumblr.com but is also the owner of genericventblog. She is the main character of the visual novels. It is noted that previous content of her art blog has been deleted but showed pictures of items we had seen from Stephanie's posts unfiltered. They were timestamped and dated to be from circa 2015.

Appearance
Ann has shoulder-length curly red hair and freckles and wears coke-bottle glasses, a green turtleneck, paint-stained denim overalls with multiple paintbrushes in the front pocket and a green beret.

Personality
Ann is known for being sad, gloomy, lonely and tired. In game 2, she mentions that Stephanie is her only friend. She is gentle and meek and responds to tumblr asks with little information but sometimes rants in the tags. She will respond apprehensively to direct messages and may be closed off unless asked about her interests. She mainly posts art and will discuss that at length privately. She is also known for having large gaps in her memory and in some cases will go dormant for extended periods of time. In the beginning of game 2, she expresses her distrust in the Church and her aversion to Reverend Brightmore. She also dislikes the way her Dianna babies her and recognises her as her mother. Despite voicing her discomfort when being interrogated multiple times, she always eventually does what she's told and tells Mrs. Brightmore what she wants to hear, even if she doesn't think that what she's saying is true.

She also vaguely mentions that she hasn't been taking her medication, but knows that she hasn't been hallucinating.

In game 3, she is easily manipulated into the back room of the church with Mrs. Brightmore, and voices her discomfort and distrust of her when Stephanie is mentioned. Towards the end of the game, her opinions about the science behind the Church's central beliefs change. This is due to her ability to remember things that occurred while other alters were fronting, but she is still not a believer of the religion aspect. She believes that Stephanie would not tolerate the endorphin therapy sessions but is able to accept the reality that she is not Stephanie.

At the end of the game, when Mrs. Brightmore gives her the option of choosing who she wants to be, she appears to decide on being Jennifer, possibly because she didn't want to be sad anymore. Her opinions towards her mother also shift to become more understanding and sympathetic of her views.

During the service on Sunday evening, when Reverend Brightmore mentions 'something less pleasant' Ann suddenly has a change of heart and wants to leave. Despite this, she does what she is told and some form of violence is inflicted upon her.

She claims to get inspiration of her art from 'dreams.'
