Anna Limón

Anna Limón is played by Becca De La Rosa. She is one of the two main protagonists of Mabel, and is the main character for the first two seasons.



Season One
Anna works as a live-in carer for Sally Martin, starting somewhere around June of 2016. During this time, she finds a box of letters in the attic of the Martin home, and upon Sally's terrified reaction to it, she continuously attempts to call one Mabel Martin, Sally's granddaughter. Mabel never picks up, but Anna continues to call her, telling her about her life and her time as Mabel's grandmother's carer. When the voicemail box on Mabel's phone is full, Anna tries calling again, only for it to be mysteriously emptied. Now aware that Mabel is not dead, and can in fact hear her, Anna is reinvigorated to continue calling, telling Mabel more and more of the day-to-day goings-on in the Martin household.

Anna eventually tells Mabel about Sally's struggles. She speaks of their daily routine and then tells Mabel about a dream that she had, where she was stuck in a mall with another woman with a red mouth. The woman mouthed a word at her-- she thinks it might have been penumbra or autumnal. It is later revealed to have been datura.

Far too curious for her own good, Anna decides to attempt to open a letter, bringing her phone with her so Mabel can be made into an accomplice. As Anna opens one of the letters, she hears Sally fall, and hangs up the phone.

The next day, Anna meets and speaks to the man in the street for the first time, who asks her the same thing three times and mouths at her to get out of the house. She also tells Mabel that Sally is fine-- she fell out of bed before Anna had time to read the letters. However, Anna did see two things; a return address to 'Fairy Hill,' and a name on the envelope: 'Luna Thorne.'

Anna calls Mabel the next day and tells her that she's begun researching in the library, trying to find the encyclopedia description of datura. She finds an Encyclopedia Britannica, but when she reaches the section datura should be in, she finds the pages ripped out. The pages have been carved out to hold an EP record. The label is missing, but written on it is "hold with the hare." When she plays the record, a blue bead falls out of the record player. It's from a doll's dress, and when Anna finds the doll, she finds a riddle tucked in her skirts.

As Anna begins to have strange dreams, she begins to wonder if Sally lies to her. When visiting the Martin garden, she finds a wrecked old sign that reads Fairy Hill . She goes back to the mushroom ring and finds them uprooted, as though they were bleeding. Anna thinks about quitting and finds that, try as she might, she cannot make herself leave.

The next time Anna calls Mabel, she talks to her about people who had disappeared from King's County; her uncle Jack and Mabel's mother, Lily. As she's talking, she realizes she has to go wake Sally up. When she gets to Sally's room, however, she's missing. Anna eventually finds Sally in the garden, wrapped in rose thorns and freezing cold, and takes her to the hospital. As Sally lies half-delirious, she tells Anna that she'd tried to save Luna Thorne.

Anna gets trapped inside the House's spell, stuck in an empty world with no way to contact the outside. The season ends with Luna Thorne bringing her down to the Hill to see Mabel.

Season Two
We hear nothing from Anna in the first episode of the new season, but her sister Mona calls her several times. She never responds. She is reported missing by Mona about a week after she disappears.

In the season's second episode, Anna returns to the Martin house, talking to the walls as if they are Mabel. When she asks Mabel to make noise, the lights buzz, suggesting that Mabel is stuck inside the house itself. She tells Mabel that she was only gone for about an afternoon, but everyone else believes she was missing for days. Anna speaks about being brought down into the Underhill, where she met Mabel for the first time. She then gets a call from the hospital staff, who tells her that Sally had passed away while she was under the Hill. Anna and Mabel discuss Sally's death, before Mabel begins to make the lights in the house buzz uncontrollably. Anna asks if it's "him," and when Mabel confirms it, she tells Mabel a story about her nephew, Aaron, to calm her down. She then asks Mabel to stay alive in the Underhill until she's able to get her out.

Anna goes to visit Sally's grave and then to a hospital, where she finds out Sally was visited by a man wearing a coat with silver hunting dogs on it before she died. She gets angry at this point, saying that he-- that is, the King of the Underhill-- couldn't even let Sally die in peace. She opens one of Luna's letters-- all of which say YOU PROMISED-- and realizes that Sally abandoned Luna to the underhill.

As Anna tries to figure out what to do, the visitor from episode three comes back to the house to speak to Anna. It's revealed that his name is Thomas, he's Mabel's father, and he has been lost for a very long time-- stuck in a loop of the last day he was truly alive. He tells Anna "Hay una puerta; necesitas descubrirlo" which translates roughly to "There is a door; you need to find it [or find out]." When Anna tells Mabel this, she stops responding using the lights.

Anna finds out she's been left the entire Martin estate by Sally. Afterwards, she finds a strange recipe book and creates a potion made from a page that reads "to open doors." She drinks the potion-- made entirely of poison-- and the episode ends with her falling to the floor, presumably dead.

The next time we hear from Anna, she is rambling about the story of Orpheus. We learn that she had tried to get Mabel out of the Underworld but had not turned around -- just as the story of Orpheus and Eurydice had warned against -- and accidentally left Mabel behind. She goes through a series of doors and solves several riddles, eventually finding Mabel again. She swaps their places-- Mabel being sent to the Martin house and Anna being left under the hill.

Season Three
At some point within this season, part of Anna (her hair, presumably) is torn out to create the changeling who would later remake herself as Veratrine.

When she finally does return, she calls Mabel and parrots the first phone call she ever sent to her. She speaks about learning to be unkind as she rots under the hill and gets very, very angry at Mabel, who she is sure cannot hear her, before talking about how they're literally integral to each other. The author is breaking the formal tone of this wiki to say: Anna, that is super gay.

Mabel makes a deal with the House and brings Anna back to the 'real world,' where they finally get to kiss after Anna pushes Mabel against a wall. After they talk and argue for some time, and while attempting to run from the King, Anna orders the House to keep them both safe and let them go. This makes the two of them realize Anna has control over the laws of matter in the Martin home, and can also control Mabel herself. At some point during this time, Anna's hand is set on fire, leaving her with a skeleton-style hand, commonly called her "fist of bone."

Mabel and Anna make the mutual decision to take down the King, planning to kill him and take his place.

Season Four
Anna's story is broadcast across news stations throughout the country, including several conspiracy theory podcasts (such as the Daily Bite & Spook City). Back in the Underhill, Anna and Mabel are approached by Anna's double, now calling herself Veratrine. Veratrine tries to turn Anna against Mabel by telling her that Mabel had killed her, but Anna explains that she already knew that.

The three girls head into the ball the Court is holding; Anna attempts to challenge the King, but fails due to getting dtracted by seeing her long-dead uncle Jack.

They escape to the House, where Mabel and Veratrine both get eaten; after pulling them out, they decide to head to Mabel's room, as it is the safest area in the House for the three of them. Mabel gets eaten by the House again. They save her again.

The girls go on a treasure hunt which leads them to Lily's room. :ily's room is completely wrecked, and they find a datura seed pod within it, which causes them to believe the cycle of what had occurred throughout season one is beginning again. Vera makes fun of Mabel and Anna asks her to provide a single reason why she shouldn't just kill her; Vera asks if Anna wants Mabel to know what a murderer she is.

Mabel finds writings from when she was a child and realizes the reason them challenging the King didn't work last time was because there was no ritual involved; they have to challenge him. Anna and Mabel promise the House that they will return and then go back to the Underhill. After Anna and Mabel have a fight, Mabel compares Anna to Sally, and Anna, in an attempt to apologize, explains to Mabel the real reason she came to the Martin house.

When Anna was in college, she had visions of another girl, all the time. She thought she was going insane, and she cut the connection to the other girl-- who was, of course, Mabel. The cutting of the cord, so to speak, left Anna feeling numb to the world until she arrived at the House. Mabel has Anna promise to never do that again, and Anna explains that all she wants is to be with Mabel. Mabel says that, because there aren't any secrets between them, she wants to stay in the Underhill rather than going back to the human world. They both apologize to each other and hug (or possibly kiss?) before Mabel says they're going to go gut a tyrant.

They go to challenge the King and Anna gets possessed by him. When she's let go, Mabel gets her to a safe place and they talk about it. Vera comes back in perhaps the greatest line in the entire show, and Anna and Mabel attempt to comfort her before going off to challenge the King for the final time. Anna names Mabel as her champion.

Anna wins after some Absolutely Buckwild Challenging and frees Mabel of her bonds. They tell each other they love each other before a boy named Brandon walks into the room of the House they are in and shoots Mabel, and then himself.

Season Six
Anna first appears attempting to get Mabel to let her look at her bullet wound. Mabel, in the midst of what seems like a panic attack, does not let her, but Anna eventually manages to dig it out, telling Mabel secrets in order to presumably keep her distracted. Mabel eventually faints and Anna holds her while trying to wake her up. Anna wraps Mabel's wound in her shirt and sphagnum moss and the bullet burns her when she attempts to pick it up. The House brings her a box of SD cards, which are from Aurora Silver's collection.

Mabel wakes up and chugs some silver water, and they have a small discussion before falling asleep.

The House puts them in the attic, which is filled with locusts. Mabel tells Anna she was poisoned by the bullet and then refuses to say anything else on the matter, causing Anna to become frustrated and attempt to leave the room. After a minute, the girls have an actual discussion about their emotions. Mabel tells Anna Sally put her in the attic as a child, and she ate the locusts to avoid starving. Anna tells Mabel she wants to know everything about her, even the most boring parts, and Mabel takes that to mean Anna believes the abuse she went through as a child was boring. Anna retorts that she'd never said that, and after a brief fight, the dead body of the boy with the gun arrives in the attic, turning into a snake.

Anna drags Mabel to a safe place and solves several riddles to realize Mabel's having an allergic reaction to the iron in the bullet. She cuts out the bullet and Mabel wakes up before Mabel tells Anna they have to go to her coronation to become the King of the Hill.

Aconite challenges Anna for the throne, and Anna and Mabel use the tapes they have to prove to her that she is not the King's daughter, and was instead tortured until she believed she was to escape from the abuse she was suffering.

After Anna is officially crowned, there is a time skip. Janet Kirk finds her, half-starved, three years after she disappears under the hill.
