Anna
Anna Sviatoslavovna Mel'nikova (Russian: Анна Святославовна Мельникова) is a sniper for the Rangers, Miller's daughter, and Artyom's partner. She makes her first appearance as a major character in Metro: Last Light and returns as a playable character in the Chronicles Pack DLC, in the Anna level. Anna entered the book trilogy canon in Metro 2035, and she returned in Metro Exodus as Artyom's wife and a key companion aboard the Aurora.
Metro ExodusEdit
In the third game of the series, Metro Exodus, Anna makes another appearance as a key character and has an important impact on the game's story, especially its second half.
She is first seen in the prologue of the game, after Artyom returns from one of his surface trips, wounded and irradiated. She expresses worry and tries to discourage him from further attempts to catch radio signals from survivors outside Moscow on the surface, saying that if there had been other survivors, people from the Moscow Metro would have already known about them. It is also implied here, that Anna is now Artyom's wife.
Despite her disagreeing with Artyom's trips to the surface, she later joins him on one herself, presumably to look after her husband and to make sure he comes back safe this time. After another unsuccessful attempt to receive any radio transmission, Anna suggests to return home. On their way back, the couple, much to their surprise, witnesses a working train with freight wagons, something very unexpected on the surface of the post-apocalyptic city of Moscow. Immediately after that, the duo is stopped by an off-road car, which they first assume belongs to Rangers. However, the crew of the car behaves rather hostile and locks Artyom and Anna in the back of the car. It is revealed that the car belongs to Hanza and that they had previously captured two other people, who claim to have come from outside Moscow, which leaves Anna astonished and she apologizes to Artyom for not believing him there could be life in other places before. The car stops and Hanza soldiers, surprisingly, try to execute the prisoners, claiming they are spies from an enemy nation. Artyom unsuccessfully tries to stop them and as a result, he is shot as well, wounding him seriously, and thrown into a pit. Anna remains captured in the car and is taken away.
Artyom, with the help of Yermak, later rescues Anna from Hanza base in a railway depot. During their escape, they get into a fight with Hanza officer, and as a result, destroy a console, which controls a set of radio jammers, intercepting radio transmissions from Moscow to the rest of the world and vice versa. As a result, is is revealed that radio transmissions can in fact be detected coming from most parts of the world, and that Artyom couldn't pick them up before due to radio jammers being active.
After that, Anna, Yermak and Artyom hijack a Hanza steam locomotive, which later becomes known as the Aurora, and use it to escape the base. During their escape, they are ambushed by a group of Rangers, led by Miller, Anna's father. He is furious about Artyom and Anna damaging the jammer, claiming there is still a world war raging in the outside world, and the jammers were their only line of defence, making Moscow seem completely dead and unimportant. Learning that her father knew about this "plot" all along seriously upsets Anna, as he could have told Artyom about that to prevent him getting constantly irradiated on the surface while searching for the signal.
The group is intercepted by a Hanza armored train and have no other option but to stop it by sneaking onboard and blowing up the locomotive's boiler. Miller claims that this makes them seem like traitors and that the only option now is to leave Moscow, using the hijacked train. He suggests heading towards Yamantau, where government officials could still be alive in a secret atomic shelter.
The group eventually arrives to a hoist-bridge over the river Volga, which they have to lower in order to continue. The Aurora is also damaged by hitting a barricade which the local cultists built on the tracks. Artyom is supposed to scout the nearby area, with Anna providing fire support for him. After that, Anna rescues Katya and Nastya, a woman and her daughter who had been imprisoned by the cultists.
