Anna the Merchant image - Fire Emblem

Anna is the only character to appear in all Fire Emblem games. She is known as the Secret Seller, where you are able to buy hard to find items(Including Upgrade Items). The items she sell's are high priced so be sure to bring a lot of Money.

In Fire Emblem Awakening or Kakusei(Japanese word Kakusei means Awakening anyway), Anna is a recruitable character. This is the first time in the series where you are able to recruit Anna.

The Secret Shops are a lot more common in Awakening as well, as they take the form of Merchants spread throughout the Overworld, they will either have items on sale or have rare items such as a Dragonshield.
