Final Fantasy X[]

Feel my pain! Come, Anima!

Seymour Guado

Anima first appears in Luca when Maester Seymour summons her to rid the area of fiends that appear during the blitzball final. Yuna is in awe of the aeon's power, which is exactly what Seymour wanted. He later summons Anima to fight against Yuna's party when they confront him in Macalania Temple.

Like all aeons, Anima is the physical manifestation of the dream of a specific fayth—in this case, Seymour's mother, whose real name remains unidentified. She may or may not be named Anima herself; Yojimbo's name is the same as his fayth, but Jecht's aeon form is named after the summoner who called him to defeat Sin. Other than Jecht, Anima is the only fayth to have significant details about her origin and past revealed.

A vision is shown by pyreflies as the party travels through Zanarkand ruins depicting Seymour's mother bringing Seymour to meet Yunalesca. Seymour's mother had intended to become the Final Aeon for him to use and defeat Sin, but Seymour never fought Sin with Anima, instead bringing her fayth to the abandoned Baaj temple and sealing it up. It appears that Seymour's mother was acting against her son's wishes in becoming a fayth, as Seymour was reluctant to go through with the plan in the vision the party views, not wanting to lose his mother.

When Yuna and her guardians visit the ruins of Baaj, they are greeted by Seymour's mother's fayth, who tells them the story of Seymour's past and offers Anima's services to Yuna to help her destroy Sin. She holds no ill will towards her son; rather, she blames herself for failing to prepare him for the challenges that would face him as a summoner and a half-human living among the Guado. Feeling responsible for Seymour's downfall, she views her service to Yuna as her last opportunity to atone and to "destroy Sin and her son's obsession with it". If Tidus returns to Baaj Temple's Chamber of the Fayth, Anima's fayth does not sing the "Hymn of the Fayth".

When the party confronts Seymour inside Sin, if Yuna summons Anima, Seymour remarks "You would oppose me as well? So be it!" Anima welcomes the chance to be possessed by Yu Yevon when the party confronts his remains at Dream's End and is destroyed by Yuna's party.

Final Fantasy X-2[]

Anima's fayth tries to stop Shuyin's apocalyptic plan, but she, like the others, ends up being possessed by his hatred. Anima is the final aeon that Yuna, Rikku, and Paine face in a battle on their way to the Farplane.
