Ani is one of mechs; she is the one who first invites both Lia and Quinn to one of their gatherings. Along with Jude and another of the mechs named Riley, Ani was one of the first recipients of the download procedure back when it was in its experimental stages. As was the case with Jude and Riley, the procedure was done to her without her consent. It is Ani who tells Lia a bit about Jude's history when they are on the top of the skyscraper.
