'''Annand''' (Japanese: {{hl|マーニャ|Mānya}} ''Mahnya'') was the Flightleader of the [[Pegasus Knight]]s of [[Silesse]], loyal to Queen [[Lahna]] and Prince [[Lewyn]], and the elder sister of fellow Silessean knight [[Erinys]].

When Lahna received word of the charges of treason alleged against [[Sigurd]] of [[Chalphy]], she dispatched Annand and the Silessean Pegasus Knights to [[Agustria]] to escort Sigurd and his army (including Lewyn and Erinys) into political asylum in Silesse.

During Sigurd's time in Silesse, Annand served as Lahna's bodyguard in light of signs of aggression from Duke [[Myos]] at Tófa Castle, while Erinys remained with Sigurd at Sailane Castle. Following Myos's defeat by Sigurd in the Silessean civil war, Annand led her knight unit into battle to defend the capital from an attack by Duke [[Daccar]] of Zaxon, Myos's brother, and from another pegasus knight unit led by her former comrade [[Pamela]]. Upon the arrival of [[Andrey]] of [[Yngvi]] and his [[Knight brigades of Grannvale|Beige Ritter]] archer brigade, Annand and her unit were quickly overwhelmed by their crippling weakness to bows and were all killed.

Years after Annand's death, her niece [[Fee]] named her [[pegasus]] "Annand" in honor of her late aunt.<ref>{{Cite|How're you holding up, Annand? Being named after a hero of the kingdom, my aunt no less, must count for something...|[[Fee]]|Genealogy of the Holy War}}</ref> Fee's substitute character, [[Hermina]] also named her pegasus "Annand" despite having no known relation to Annand.

Annand acts as a partner unit in [[Dance in the Skies|Chapter 4]], dispatched from Silesse Castle the turn after Tófa Castle has been seized, leading a unit of eleven [[Pegasus Knight]]s. She and her subordinates fight the Zaxon Castle army, but will always be defeated by [[Andrey]] and the [[Knight brigades of Grannvale#Beige Ritter|Beige Ritter]] in both story and gameplay.

Annand is one of the characters added to the game in the [[The Vital Blade]] update, and became available for summoning by players on February 16, 2021. Only one variation of Annand is currently available in ''Heroes'', based on her ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' incarnation.
