- Game Booklet Description

Ghosthunter
A member of the Detroit Police Department, Anna is partnered with new officer Lazarus Jones to investigate the Montsaye High School murders that occurred two years prior, in which ten students were killed.

Appearance
Anna is a dark-skinned woman with green eyes and straight auburn hair in a bob style. She wears a lilac zip-up jacket with white stripes along the arms and chest, and a police badge attached to the left breast. Under it is an orange polo-neck jumper, along with lime green bootcut trousers and brown boots.

Personality
Anna is serious and focused, with little time for jokes, although is also fairly relaxed and mature when it comes to her work. She has a sarcastic manner and teases Lazarus for not being familiar with murder cases, although genuinely cares for his safety. She is dismissive of the calls from the demolition crew working on Montsaye High School mentioning hearing voices and seeing strange things, and confused by the supernatural events happening around her. She is frightened by Hawksmoor and his fusing with her body. Controlled by him throughout the adventure, she sometimes has her personality suppressed and becomes his mindless doll.

Supranormal Sight
Due to being fused with Hawksmoor, Anna is capable of seeing ghosts.

Etymology
Anna is a variation of Hannah, an English name derived from the Hebrew name חַנָּה (Channah) meaning "favour, grace". In the Old Testament this is the name of the wife of Elkanah. Steele is an occupational name for a steelworker, from the Old English stele meaning "steel".
