Anahita, also known as Aredvi Sura Anahita, is an ancient Indo-Iranian Goddess associated with the cosmological concept of the Aban, meaning the Primordial Waters of Creation or the World River that encircles the Earth. As such, Anahita was worshiped as a Water Deity responsible for life, fertility, healing, purification and wisdom. She was sometimes associated and conflated with the Mesopotamian Goddess Ishtar because of their overlapping atributes.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.
- Cocytus: Negates the effects of all enemy's fire-based attacks and strenghtens her own ice-based attacks.
- Tarukaja: Increases the caster's physical attributes by one level.
