Genealogy and History
Parent One: William Roland Smith. Born 1902. Police officer, alcoholic. Highly abusive to wife and daughter.
Parent Two: Helen Rose Smith. Born 1910. Housewife, mother of one, alcoholic. Highly abusive to daughter, fought often with husband.
Birth: Anna Belle was born in 1930 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Hers was a difficult birth, that left her mother unable to safely carry other children to term.
Childhood: Anna Belle’s childhood was rough from a young age. Her father was abusive from a very young age, and her mother did little to protect her. Both drank excessively, but it was her father’s drunken rages she learned to fear the most. On one fateful night in August of 1942, she fled from the house into the night in one of several failed attempts to escape her home. In a ditch by the roadside, she stumbled across what seemed to her to be the largest frog in the universe–it was, in fact, a cane toad–dehydrated and seemingly dying in the ditch. She picked it up and carried it into her neighbor’s backyard, where she gave it water and got it a bit moist to help with the summer heat. She spent some time caring for the cane toad and conversing with it, in the way of a child, until she heard her father yelling again from her house, searching for her. She tried to shoo the recovering toad away, worried her father would hurt it, but it wouldn’t leave. So she hid with it in a bush, wishing to be anywhere but there. And then, she was.
Anna Belle now travels through space and time with the intermittent assistance of the toad, who she has since dubbed Humphrey the Time Toad, after her favorite actor. The Time Toad has, as its name might suggest, the ability to hop through time and across dimensions, but only one way, and seemingly at random, at least to Anna. It has some defenses in place to protect her, as long as its kept healthy. She can often be found looking extremely out of place and increasingly unkempt, occasionally asking if anyone knows the way back to Missouri.

Skills and Personality
Talents – Time Toad:
- Time Hop: The Time Toad has the ability to leap–bringing Anna with him–through time, space, and the multiverse at large. How frequently he can do this, and how far he can hop, is a mystery, but he seems unable to hop directly back from whence he came.
- Protective Aura: The Time Toad has a sort of protective bubble that allows itself and Anna to exist and breathe in places they otherwise shouldn’t be able to, including toxic planets, underwater, and the vacuum of space.
- Language Barrier: Sentient creatures within a certain radius of the Time Toad are able to perceive the languages spoken by those around them as their own, making communication simple.
- Sentience: The Time Toad is, in fact, sentient, although the extent of his intelligence is unclear. He seems to understand what is being said, though his own form of communication seems intensely limited, and he tends to interpret Anna’s requests very strangely, or sometimes ignore them altogether.
- Seems Neat: Anna has a tendency to pick things up from the universes she travels through, and though she mostly keeps them as souvenirs, occasionally one serves a purpose as a MacGuffin.
- A Very Pretty Rock: The MacGuffinyest of Anna’s possessions is a very pretty rock that she picked up in a strange temple on a far away planet in lord only knows what universe. She carries it with her always, but uses it rarely, because its effects have proven to be extremely random and at times somewhat destructive.
- Pocketful of Sunshine: Anna has gotten used to her life wandering the multiverse, and has become very adept at dealing with the absolute strangest that the worlds have to offer. Almost nothing phases her anymore, especially as she gets older, and she picks up the oddest bits of knowledge, as well.
