Anne Cregar was a colonist living at Trono on the planet LV-871, and mother to twelve-year old Maxon Cregar.

Biography[]
The Outbreak[]
Anne and Max encountering a Xenomorph
Anne was a single mother living with her son Maxon on the colony of Trono. Her husband Lucas Cregar had died at an unknown period before the events of the outbreak. During a sudden Xenomorph outbreak on the colony, she was subdued by a facehugger in her apartment.
After waking up to see her frightened son, and alerted by the chaos occurring on the streets outside, Anne took her son to try and get to the evacuation shuttle.
The two left their apartment to find a corpse in front of them. Anne reached for the rifle from the body, but suddenly comes face to face with a hulking Xenomorph that emerged from the darkness. Both stand perfectly still as the creature closely inspected the mother, before turning its back on them and taking leave. The two emerged outside of their apartment into the ravaged streets of Trono and get into their car, accidentally running over a Facehugger and splashing a tire with acid blood. The tire of the car later gave way, causing them to crash into the streets.
Max witnesses his mother giving birth to a Chestburster.
As several Xenomorphs advanced towards the vehicle, another car crashed into them, sending the aliens into a retreat. The assailant gets out of the vehicle and introduces himself as Assistant Administrator Waugh, who escorted them through the streets to the port.
Death and Legacy[]
Though they finally reached the port itself, they were ambushed by a horde of Xenomorphs, supposedly waiting for prey nearby the evacuation site. The three rushed to a nearby evac shuttle, barely managing to escape with their lives. Whilst Xenomorph Blood within the hull of the ship caused a panic, Anne began doubling over in pain. As a frightened Maxon asked if she was okay, she suddenly convulsed and birthed a Chestburster.
The resulting Xenomorph would go on to relentlessly pursue Maxon and the other survivors as they scoured LV-871's surface for safety.
Personality and Traits[]
Anne was a maternal mother, doing what she could to get her and her son to safety. Unfortunately she was unaware of the parasite she was carrying and unwittingly endangered her son, as well as the others aboard the evac shuttle. Despite this she thought about things logically, telling her son that they couldn't stay in their house because it had already been compromised by a Facehugger. While unaware she was carrying a Chestburster, she felt that something was wrong with her, and before being rescued by Waugh, she was going to ensure that at least her son would get to the shuttle if she couldn't.
The Xenomorph that was birthed from Anne seemed to inherit some of her traits, as its DNA reflex forced it to reconsider attacking Maxon and even seemingly desired to protect him.
Trivia[]
- Anne coincidentally shares the same first name as Anne Jorden, mother to Rebecca "Newt" Jorden, whom she and her family is also subject to a Xenomorph outbreak on a colony. This may have been an intentional reference.
