Anais Watterson is one of the main characters in The Amazing World of Gumball. Anais is the youngest and most intelligent member of the Watterson family, and perhaps the most intelligent person in the world of Gumball, as she's the only one who can recognize Gumball in his mother's wedding dress in the episode "The Dress". Despite being only four years old, she attends Elmore Junior High with her older brothers, Gumball and Darwin.

Appearance

Anais is a small pink rabbit with a white tail. She resembles her father, Richard, but she is much shorter in stature and has a more feminine appearance. Anais usually wears an orange dress with a white trim and white socks. She is one of the only Wattersons to wear footwear, along with Darwin and Granny Jojo.

When she is in pajamas, she wears pink onesie footless pajamas with a bunny silhouette on the front, white cuffs and collar.

Personality

Intelligence

Anais is by far the most intelligent member of her family, although her young age prevents her from really being noticed by adults. She has been shown on numerous occasions to have a knack for solving problems, such as the time she figured a way out of her flooded house, and the time she developed a complex solution to solve the problem of getting her grandmother's luggage up a flight of stairs. Even though Anais is four years old, she attends Elmore Junior High because of her extremely high IQ; however, she is not in the same class as her brothers and instead goes to a junior kindergarten class located elsewhere in the school. Anais is also a valued member of the school's Physics Club, and her vast knowledge of the subject has actually saved her from being vaporized by Bobert in his combat form. 

She is a remarkably cunning strategist as well, revealed in the episode "The Remote", plotting elaborate schemes and decoying everybody's perceptions to achieve her goal. Though she is often underestimated due to her significantly young age, which she tends to use to her advantage.

Maturity

Anais can also be considered the most mature member of her family aside from her mother. She often takes care of her brothers in many ways, like helping them with their homework and making their breakfast, as said in "The Responsible". Due to her young age, however, she is prone to occasionally acting childish and still has stuffed animals.

Temper

Anais has shown some signs of having her mother's fiery temper. When her brother accidentally lost her doll, she was extremely upset and demanding, threatening to tell their mother what had happened. On another occasion, after finally taking Granny Jojo's bags upstairs, when asked to bring them down, she instead grew furious and kicked her suitcase out the window.

Infantile tendencies

Even though Anais is very mature for her age, there are still some occasions where she reverts to childish behaviour. She is a huge fan of Daisy the Donkey, as evidenced by her Daisy plush toy and her extreme enthusiasm for the Daisy on Ice show. She also knows how to manipulate others by looking cute as proven in "The Quest".

Trivia

• In "The Responsible", it is revealed that Anais helps Gumball and Darwin with their homework, and she also makes Gumball's and Darwin's breakfast every morning. However, that may have stopped in "The Prank" as she was not in the episode and Gumball and Darwin made their own cereal.
• In some preview pictures, she has whiskers like the rest of her family, but in the show, she doesn't. This was likely a late change that the creators made for an unknown reason, possibly to make her look younger or cuter.
• Her name has two different pronunciations in the show: it's usually pronounced according to the name's French origin ('An-ni-ese'), but is occasionally pronounced according to English phonetics ('An-ni-is') instead, usually by Darwin and Granny Jojo.
• Anais has been seen acting dumb four times in the series: in "The Goons", Gumball teaches her how to be dumb; in "The Job", she becomes dumb when she switches heads with Gumball; in "The Authority", when she becomes a "Richard"; and in "The Castle", where she actually wanted to be dumb on Saturday.
• At the end of "Halloween", her body is possessed by Darwin while she possessed Gumball's body.
• Anais, like her mother, seems to have anger issues as seen in "The Quest", "The Kiss", "The Tape", and the Elmore Stream-It video "Annoying Brother."
• Anais is based on and named after creator Ben Bocquelet's younger sister, Anais Bocquelet, who works as a computer programmer for EA Games.
• It is unknown if she has her own room but it came be assumed that she may sleep with Gumball and Darwin because Gumball has a bunk bed and Darwin sleeps in the fishbowl beside the bed, even though she has her own room.
• A promo was made on Cartoon Network about Anais's look she made for Gumball to retrieve Daisy for her in "The Quest" and a real rabbit was shown with the same eyes.
• In "The Castle", she did not wear her dress and socks. She wore pink pajamas with a white bunny silhouette on the chest, white cuffs and collar and is barefoot. However, she was shown with the dress and socks as an error.
• In "The Vacation" it is shown that Anais may have inherited Nicole's fighting skills.
