BioEdit

Annie was a very good student with a 4.0 GPA at Riverside High School, which she attended with fellow study group member Troy Barnes. She lost her college scholarship and dropped out of high school due to an addiction to Adderall, which induced a nervous breakdown that culminated in her jumping through a plate glass window yelling, "Everyone's a robot!". Against the wishes of her mother, she chose to confront the addiction. Her decision to go to rehab instead of trying to ignore the incident caused her to become estranged from her family (especially her mother), from whom she has since cut off all ties. With the exception of one of her grandmother, who seems to be the only one reaching out. She began attending Greendale Community College at the age of 18, and it's hinted that one of the main reasons is because her high school crush Troy was going there as well.

PersonalityEdit

“	Mornin' boys. I'm Annie Edison, but people call me Psycho because I had a nervous breakdown in high school.	”
–Annie

Although she is young, Annie has overcome a lot of personal hardships including a drug addiction, her subsequent estrangement from her parents, and poor living conditions in a bad neighborhood. Even with these setbacks, she still maintains a bright and optimistic disposition. She is a typical Type A personality; ambitious, studius and very well organized. Although Jeff is the de facto leader of the study group, she usually takes charge when it comes to actually running the study sessions. A romantic at heart, she is often drawn to strong alpha-male type personalities. This has been demonstrated by her former school girl crush on Troy when he was a quarterback in high school as well as her ongoing attraction to Jeff. Despite Annie's seemingly innocent demeanor, she has displayed a more selfish and manipulative side on occasion. In her freshmen year at greendale, she used her "Disney face" to get her way, and went to the extreme of ratting out Señor Chang's fake credentials as a teacher in order to keep the study group together. She has grown up a lot since then but has had occasional relapses into immaturity.

Character historyEdit

Season OneEdit

“	There's this weird pain right above my eyebrow.	”
–Jeff

“	It's called a stress headache. I got my first one when I was four.	”
–Annie

Annie joined the study group only because she saw that Troy was joining as well. When she and the group discover that Jeff had been lying about his credentials as a tutor, they kick him out. She later takes pity on him and helps convince Britta to invite Jeff back to the group. Annie spent her freshmen year devoted to her studies and participating in school activities such as Debate and the school paper. It is during the debate that romantic sparks occurred between her and Jeff, creating an underlying tension between them that was hinted at a few times. She was active in school events helping to organize, set up, and promote functions like the Dia De Los Muertes party and the STD Fair. Towards the end of the year, she had given up on her crush on Troy and started dating Vaughn. At the end of the semester she decides to transfer with him to a prestigious Hacky Sack college. She was supposed to leave with him on the night of the Greendale's Tranny Dance but changes her mind and breaks up with him. When she returns to the school, she runs into Jeff who is wrestling with a difficult choice he just made too involving Britta and Slater.

Relationships in the study groupEdit

Troy BarnesEdit

(See main article: "Troy and Annie")

Annie was originally obsessed with Troy and did everything she could to try to get him to like her, including helping him plan a date with another girl just so she could be closer to him. Annie gradually starts to lose feelings for him, and by the time Troy realizes that he's attracted to her, it's too late as she's already begun dating Vaughn. Annie and Troy have since become good friends as demonstrated in "Mixology Certification", where he tells her that he thinks she's "cool." Although Troy is now aware of her attractiveness, he seems to not be interested in her romantically and has instead shown a strong affection for Britta, which Annie accepts and even supports, as shown when she tried to get the two together.

Jeff WingerEdit

(See main article "Jeff and Annie")

When Annie first meets Jeff, she is immediately suspicious of his credentials as a "board certified tutor" in Spanish but is eventually charmed by him along with the rest of the study group. They share a kiss which creates an underlying tension between them throughout the rest of their freshman year at Greendale. The tension continued to build between them, culminating in another kiss outside the Tranny Dance. Uncomfortable with the age difference, Jeff initially tries to keep his distance from Annie and denies to her several times that anything is going on between them. Recently, however, Jeff has become a little more honest about his feelings.

Abed NadirEdit

(See main article "Annie and Abed")

Abed and Annie share a mostly platonic dynamic and friendship marked by occasional forays into role-playing. Depending on what persona Abed assumes, Annie has shown to be attractive to him. The two share a kiss during the second paintball tournament when Abed role plays as Han Solo and Annie assumes the part of his Princess Leia. For now, the attraction is mostly played up as a running gag, and whether it's indicative of any deeper feelings between them is unclear. Regardless, the two still enjoy a solid friendship and even have a secret handshake.

Britta PerryEdit

This pairing has been teased a few times, although it seems more like fanservice. In Season One episode "Investigative Journalism," Buddy described a daydream fantasy to the study group about the two of them in cheerleader outfits fighting in a bubble bath. In "Romantic Expressionism," when everyone considers the other study group members as a sexual prospect, the two share a lingering look. In the Season Two episode "The Psychology of Letting Go," the two oil wrestle. Later at the Valentine's Dance, an onlooker tells them both to kiss, and when Annie leans in to go for it, Britta stops her.

Shirley BennettEdit

Shirley and Annie's relationship changes constantly, as sometimes they act like mother/daughter, sometimes like sisters, and sometimes like friends. As the more compassionate members of the study group, they often take issue with many of the morally ambiguous antics of their friends. Because she is the youngest of the group, Shirley is often overprotective of her which sometimes annoys Annie (along with Shirley's various attempts to convert her to Christianity). In spite of this, they have developed a good friendship and will often find the same things adorable. This leads to them both saying "Aww!" at the same time which has become a running gag on the show. In season four, their relationship has developed a more hostile and competitive element since Annie discovered that they are both competing for Valedictorian.

Pierce HawthorneEdit

There have been a few times when Pierce has acted a little creepy towards Annie, and also times when he's acted ignorant about her religion, but besides that, their relationship is quite sweet. Pierce likes being liked, and Annie is nice to everyone most of the time, so he reciprocates that kindness towards her. Pierce is nicer to Annie than he is to anyone else in the group, and when he was bequeathing gifts to everyone, he gave her a tiara. She returned it, not realizing that there was no underlying meaning to the gift other than the fact that she was Pierce's favorite.

Other notable relationshipsEdit

High School Boyfriend:Edit

Annie had a boyfriend in high school (whose name was never mentioned) that she lost her virginity to. They had sex on the floor of his walk-in closet to Madonna's Erotica. While they were having sex he had cried before, during and after. She later found out he was gay.

First mention: "The Politics of Human Sexuality"

Vaughn Miller:Edit

Annie getting over Troy, Annie shows an interest in Britta's ex-boyfriend Vaughn and asks her for permission to date him. Although Britta gives her consent, she later teams with Jeff to break them up. When they realize that Annie and Vaughn genuinely likes each other, they and the rest of the study group give their approval of the relationship. At the end of the school year, Vaughn is offered a chance to join a prestigious Hacky Sack university on the east coast. On a whim, Annie decides to transfer with him but changes her mind the night she was to leave. She returns to school and runs into a possible reason for wanting to stay.

Significant episodes: "Romantic Expressionism", "Pascal's Triangle Revisited"

Rich Stephenson:Edit

During Annie's Spring Break at her second year at Greendale, she helped dredge rivers with Rich, a fellow student at Greendale. Rich is a perfect gentleman (causing Jeff to despise him because 'No one can be this good a person'), so it's no surprise that Annie soon develops a crush on him. He and Annie become closer when he starts taking Anthropology, causing Jeff to become extremely jealous. Annie asks Rich out but he declines, claiming that she's 'too young'.

Significant episodes: "Epidemiology", "Asian Population Studies"
