Anaya Imanu (Legend Timeline)

Anaya Imanu is a civil engineer and good friend of Lara appearing in Tomb Raider: Legend. Anaya is voiced by Melissa Lloyd.

Background
Anaya is a young African woman of 29 years. Faculty friend of Lara, she is an engineer and works in disadvantaged areas of South America. She is a straightforward person, down to earth and passionate about her work. Behind a nonchalant personality lies a vast knowledge of science, a dynamic young woman in leadership. Even if Lara impresses her, she does not put her on a pedestal : she knows, like everyone else, that Lara has ups and downs. Anaya was with Lara and Amanda the day of the disaster in Paraiso. Since that fateful day, Anaya only stays on her own, which does not prevent some recrosses with her old friend.

Tomb Raider: Legend
In Tomb Raider: Legend, Anaya is first mentionned by Lara while climbing a mountain in Bolivia. She said, that her old friend Anaya told her that the relic she's looking for, may be there.
