	Trained by her friend Mary Read, Anne was a capable fighter, adept at wielding [[swords]] and firearms. She also had advanced [[freerunning]] skills, allowing her to keep up with Edward as he navigated Long Bay's jungles. As well as this, Anne possessed great nautical knowledge, which served her well in her role as quartermaster.<ref name="AC4"/>		Trained by her friend Mary Read, Anne was a capable fighter, adept at wielding [[swords]] and firearms.

	~~==Trivia==~~
	*Originally, Edward was meant to witness and participate in Anne and Mary's battle against the British, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development.<ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A] – {{Cite\|20 June 2024}}</ref>
	*The [[database]] notes that, historically, Anne was believed to have been freed from prison after her father paid off the governor, and taken to the British colonies in [[North America]], where she died in 1782. However, the footage recorded by [[Abstergo Entertainment]] throws this assumption into question.
	*Anne's database entry mistakenly refers to her husband as "Jack" Bonny.
	*The database entry states Anne was born in 1702 and by the age 16 was in route to the Caribbean. However the year they give for her arrival in Nassau is 1716 when she would have been 14 rather than 1718.
	*In the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]'' novel, the attraction Edward felt towards Anne is much more prevalent and even appears mutual, with the pair bidding each other farewell with a kiss.
	*In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]'', an older Anne is depicted as wielding a [[Hidden Blade]], though whether she actually joined the Assassins is uncertain.
	*Although her maiden name was Cormac, Anne possessed no relation to [[Shay Cormac]], with the similarity in surname being purely coincidental.<ref>{{Youtube\|QghXzjY-c4\|Assassin's Creed Rogue - Interview with Ivan Balabanov (Producer on AC Rogue)\|loomer979\|Loomer}}</ref>

			==Behind the scenes==
			Anne Bonny is a historical figure and pirate first introduced in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' where she is voiced by [[Sarah Greene]]. Originally, her and Mary Read's battle against the British was meant to be shown in game with Edward Kenway as a participant, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development.<ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A] – {{Cite\|20 June 2024}}</ref> Additionally, in the ''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]'' novel, the attraction Edward felt towards Anne is much more prevalent and even appears mutual, with the pair bidding each other farewell with a kiss.{{cite}}

			In an interview with ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' producer [[Ivan Balabanov]], ''[[Assassin's Creed (series)\|Assassin's Creed]]'' content creator Loomer asked if Anne Bonny had any familial relation to [[Shay Cormac]] due to the idea that her maiden was also Cormac. Balabanov stated this was purely coincidental.<ref>{{Youtube\|_QghXzjY-c4\|Assassin's Creed Rogue - Interview with Ivan Balabanov (Producer on AC Rogue)\|loomer979\|Loomer}}</ref> The claim that Anne Bonny's maiden name was Cormac comes from the unsubstantiated claim of John Carvola's 1964 historical drama ''{{wiki\|Mistress of the Seas}}'' and is unsupported by other sources.<ref>{{WP}}</ref>

			A number of details in her [[database]] entry seem to be at odds with what is depicted in game, including the circumstance surrounding her release from prison and the age at which she arrived to the Carribean.

			In ''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]'', an older Anne is depicted as wielding a [[Hidden Blade]], though whether she actually joined the Assassins is uncertain and would be in contradiction to her stated intent in [[The End]].<ref name="The End" />
