How Old is Anya Forger in Spy x Family?

While Anya pretended to be 6 years old in Spy x Family, she is likely 4-5 years of age. She is slightly more impulsive and immature than her classmates as well, tipping off her younger age.

Why Did Anya Lie About Her Age in Spy x Family?

Her reasoning for pretending to be 6 was that she read Loid’s mind and learned he needed a 6-year-old for Operation Strix, where he’d connect with the Desmond family using a child who’d climb the ranks at Eden Academy. If she was too young, she’d be passed over in favor of another child, which would mean she’d miss a shot at a better life than at the orphanage.
