Anne Kurusu

Anne Kurusu (来栖 アンネ, Kurusu Anne) is a character in Hang On! Climbing Girls.

Appearance
Anne has waist-length red hair that has pointy hair stubs on her head that seem to resemble ears and blue eyes.

She wears red and white climbing uniform, and is occasionally seen with her sweater.

Personality
Anne is an upbeat, sociable and cheerful idol who is very popular because of her skills and her outgoing personality. She says "Cool, Kurusu!" often, as a winning catchphrase or as a simple sentence. Her friendly demeanor, is however, a farce, in truth she is malicious, narcissistic, cruel and looks down on others being able to lob very nasty remarks to her competitors on private despite being polite and respectful to them in public.

Plot
Anne is seen in a video shown to Konomi Kasahara by Nonoka Sugiura on her cellphone. She is also in the stands during the preliminaries and semi-finals of the Kanto Bouldering Championship. She also seems to be slightly impressed of Konomi Kasahara analytic skills when she one-shot three walls in a row.
