ENTRY 09: THE HUNTRESS (Anna)
"Armed with throwable hatchets, The Huntress is a constant threat to Survivors, even those at a great distance. With patience and precision, chases can end as quickly as they begin. Predict Survivor movement and let your hatchet fly – there's nothing quite like the rewarding sound of a target struck.."
LORE SUMMARY: Anna was raised deep in the forest, far away from civilization, taught to hunt by her mother. When her mother was killed by an elk, Anna was forced to fend for herself and grew into a powerful huntress with little memory of ever even being human. She would also kill people who intruded into her woods, except for little girls, which she imprisoned in her cabin and attempted to raise as her own. Being far stronger and more resilient than most people however, she had a poor grasp of just how fragile the typical human child is, and the kidnapped girls would always die from the cold, malnutrition or sickness.
Anna took to actively raiding villages, slaughtering men and stealing away little girls, until war came and Anna could find nothing but soldiers, which of course she just kept slaughtering.

We're getting into some of the really fun ones now, even if this is just another human and I won't have all that much to discuss. The Huntress is a big, burly mountain woman who wears a carved wooden rabbit mask, supposedly to try and appear friendly to children, and subdues her victims with her awesome axe-throwing skills. During gameplay, she also ominously hums a lullaby the entire time, which can be annoying to some, but it's a really unique atmospheric touch to her character.
BEST SKIN(S):
"BABA YAGA:" this elaborately decorated, red-hooded dress and creepy triple-faced mask definitely suit the legendary witch, and Anna herself is retextured here with weathered, wrinkled skin.
"CURIOUS KILL:" a holiday skin that seems to reference mari lwyd! Her face is obscured by cloth wrap, and a grisly horse skull is up on top of her head, making her appear much taller.
"DOLL COLLECTOR:" trying even harder to look cute and appealing, I guess? Here Anna is wearing a number of different plush toys, doll arms, a ram's skull on her shoulder and a large mascot style mask, seemingly stitched together from both a rabbit and a cat design.
"BREAK THE CAGE:" this one comes with a short blurb about how she was finally captured by the soldier's she'd been terrorizing, but the broken metal collar and bloodstains tell us how well that went. The outfit is otherwise a sot of medeival dungeon BDSM outfit with a silvery metal rabbit mask and a whole lot of spikes. The mask even looks bolted onto a helmet shaped like the head of an iron maiden!
"WERE ELK:" Anna has a lot of skins that give her different animal masks or animal pelt heads, but this one seems to completely transform her into an actual anthropomorphic elk with a mouthful of tusk-like fangs.
"GROWTH SURGE:" Anna's ichor-dripping blight outfit is quite a bit different from most, since it also covered her in mangy fur with what may be an actual rabbit-human hybrid head!
