Her charm lies not so much in her psychic abilities but in her deeply flawed but adorable identity. As someone who constantly admires Anya Forger’s uniqueness and shameless nature, I thought, “Why not give it a try? Why not see if I can mirror him and see life the way he does?” Spoiler alert: it didn’t go as planned. Here’s a deep dive into my (entertainingly terrible) attempt to be like Anya Forger.
Start: Why I Chose To Be Like Anya Forger

He has a boundless sense of enterprise, not afraid to humiliate himself or create controversy. In countless ways, her identity is an inspiration to anyone struggling to be themselves. I had to tap into that same carefree vitality. So, I tried for a while to live my life as fairly as he did – spontaneously, without concern about how it looked to others.
What Motivated My Decision?
- Her Bold Nature: Anya Forger is not decently absent from Botch’s creation, and it’s part of what makes her character so likable. His slips are not disappointments, but the beginning of development. Who wouldn’t be like that?

- Her Relatability: Despite being pretentious, Anya’s inner monologue and reactions are entertainingly human. His troubling minutes, confusion, and miscalculations are things that everyone can relate to.
With all this in mind I thought, “What if I drag a little ‘Anya Forger’ mantra into my own life? Well, let me tell you – it was an encounter, to say the least.
Step 1: Acting Like Anya Forger In Social Situations
Part of my plan to begin with was to mirror Anya Forger’s quirks in social situations. After all, a huge part of what makes him so adorable is how he interacts with others. On a typical day, Anya never shies away from making a scene, but constantly in a charming way. It seems so straightforward when he does it—just his true, unvarnished self.
How Did I Try To Imitate Others?

I chose to take a leap of faith and speak openly without stressing about how others would react. Comes about…mixed. Without a doubt, I got a few sneakers, but I had some painful experiences where I had to backpedal quickly.

People may laugh at you or think you’re eccentric, but there is excellence in owning your individuality, just like Anya Forger.
Step 2: Experiment With Pink Hair
Another part of my efforts on the Anya Forger channel included trying to duplicate seeing him. Anya’s distinctive pink hair is a huge part of her famous look. I chose to try and emulate her hairstyle, but not without some procrastination. How can I pull off pink hair in the real world?
How Do I Go Around It?
- Temporary Hair Color: I chose temporary hair color to get the closest imaginable color to Anya’s bright pink locks. issue? Pink hair does not fade quickly. I ended up with a stunning shade of bubblegum pink that I haven’t been able to get rid of in ages.

- Embrace the fun: Even though I wasn’t actually pulling off Anya’s famous scene, I made an impact trying to do something out of my comfort zone.
Step 3: Attempt Clairvoyance
Anya’s clairvoyant abilities are a major part of her charm, but I can’t study much. Or can I? I thought, “Why not try to act like I can hear what people are thinking?”
How Did I Try To Mirror It?
- I knew to act like what individuals were considering: I would arbitrarily guess around what individuals were considering and routinely yell at them in an additional way. Incidentally, I’ll ask, “Are you thinking about pizza right now?” And when someone would say, “No,” I’d say to myself, “Oh, wait, I meant tacos!”
- Misunderstood Settings : Anya often interprets things completely unexpectedly from what they are. I took that approach in confusing situations or indeed by replying with simplistic expressions and completely disconnected comments, as fair as that.

Step 4: Realizing Anya’S Devotion To Her Family
In the anime, Anya has a strong, boundless love for her family despite constantly not understanding what’s going on around her. This was one of the most endearing aspects of his character and I needed to emulate this same devotion and worship in my daily life.
How did I try to channel it?
- Unquestionable Reliability: Much like Anya’s loyal devotion to her “family,” I strive to be stronger toward those I care about without addressing their actions or interests. I realized that while being strong without judgment is vital, maintaining harmony in relationships is even more fundamental.
- Protective nature: I took a page from Anya’s book and made it for my mates without any doubt, in fact when they weren’t looking for it. Whether it was through a little movement or a huge act of thoughtfulness, I tried to channel that protective attitude.

Conclusion: Confused Terrible Reality
In conclusion, my attempt to be like Anya Forger was, to say the least, entertainingly imperfect. While I’ve definitely learned important lessons by embracing my characterization and becoming more relaxed, it’s clear that portraying an anecdotal character — especially one as extraordinary as Anya — comes with its challenges. Regardless, I picked up an untapped admiration for the character and the nuances of what she says: self-acceptance, individuality, and the ability to be yourself.
So, if you ever find yourself discovering what it would be like to be like Anya, my advice is basic: Embrace your inner child, make interesting choices, and don’t worry about laughing at yourself along the way. Don’t bleach your hair without considering the consequences.
