Overview
Taffy is a delivery specialist who works as a new investigator for the Anti-Chaos Directorate (A.C.D.), an organization tasked with investigating anomalies and combating a mysterious force known as "Chaos" that threatens humanity.[2] She is characterized by her laid-back personality and energy-saving approach to work, despite being tasked with demanding delivery assignments across the city.[3]
Appearance
Taffy is a short female character with distinctive long white rabbit ears, marking her as a bunny-human hybrid.[2] She is typically depicted with her signature segway and transformable mallet, which serve as both her primary mode of transportation and her main weapon in combat.
Personality
Taffy joined the A.C.D. in hopes of securing an easy job with good pay, but found herself assigned to a challenging role delivering various types of cargo throughout different parts of the city.[4] Despite the demanding nature of her work, she maintains a relaxed and strategic approach to her duties.
Her personal philosophy can be summarized by three core principles:[3]
- "Never do anything annoying"
- Always seek payment (preferably cola)
- "Work 5 min, rest for 2h"
Taffy's ultimate aspiration, shared with many of her colleagues, is to join the ACTF (Anti-Chaos Task Force) and become a legendary investigator.[3] She has also expressed a secondary goal of gaining one million fans in order to receive better perks.[2]
Her catchphrase reflects her carefree attitude: "The sun's all warm and fuzzy, totally nap-worthy weather!"[3]
Abilities and Combat
Segway Combat
Taffy's primary mode of combat revolves around her bunny-themed segway, which she uses as both a vehicle and a weapon.[5] The segway enables her to:
- Execute charging attacks to deal impact damage to enemies
- Perform close-quarters combat strikes similar to hammer attacks
- Provide rapid traversal across Nova City's diverse environments
Mallet Transformation
Taffy wields a transformable mallet that serves dual purposes in gameplay:[2]
- Combat Mode: Functions as a standard melee weapon for close combat engagements
- Vehicle Mode: Transforms into a rideable bike, providing an alternative high-speed traversal option
This transformation mechanic gives Taffy unique mobility advantages, making her particularly valuable for players who prefer fast-paced movement and speed-running gameplay strategies.[2]
Ultimate Ability
Game preview footage has demonstrated that Taffy possesses at least one ultimate skill, though specific details about its mechanics and effects have not been officially disclosed.[3]
Role in Gameplay
As a delivery specialist, Taffy brings unique traversal mechanics to Ananta's gameplay experience. She is recommended for players who prioritize:[2]
- Rapid city navigation
- Speed-running challenges
- Quick movement between objectives
- High-mobility combat styles
Taffy is identified as a member of the "Yeet Squad," a designation that suggests her role in the game's character roster focuses on dynamic, fast-paced action.[2]
Development and Announcement
Taffy was first revealed as a playable character in the Project Mugen announcement trailer titled "Tomorrow and Surprises Come Together," which premiered at Gamescom on August 24, 2023.[1] The trailer showcased her segway-based combat and traversal abilities within the game's vibrant urban open-world setting.
Following the game's rebranding from Project Mugen to Ananta on November 29, 2024, Taffy was confirmed to remain part of the playable character roster.[6]
Availability
In keeping with NetEase's announcement that Ananta will not feature a character gacha system, Taffy will be obtainable for free as players progress through the game's story.[7] All playable characters in Ananta are designed to be unlocked through gameplay rather than randomized acquisition systems.
Voice Acting
As of October 2025, no voice actor has been officially announced for Taffy. Voice acting details for Ananta characters are expected to be revealed closer to the game's release date.
Reception
Taffy has gained popularity among the Ananta fan community due to her unique combination of speed-focused gameplay mechanics, quirky personality, and distinctive bunny-themed design. Her unconventional approach to her role as an investigator and her relatable work philosophy have made her a fan-favorite character in pre-release promotional materials.
