Anais is a character that goes to show that the Gumball team can breath life into the most tired of tropes and invent something new. I can't think of characters written quite like Anais because of how she manages to invert those old practices.

The way Anais is written reminds me of how characters such as Tobias and Carrie are written and how they set themselves apart from other characters in their respective archetypes.

"Creative funk" - Heh, describes me last week when I was trying to start an article about Gumball.
