"Just when you thought you’d win the employee-of-the-month award with that artisanal coffee mug, corporate Ananyaization strikes—‘Thanks so much! We really appreciate it—but I can’t accept this.’”
“Behold the true power of Ananyaization: turning festive cheer into policy-induced awkwardness since…well, today.”
“I got my colleague a coffee mug after hearing his rant about disposable ones, but thanks to a swift Ananyaization, my colleague showered me with ‘thank yous’ and tucked them straight into the trash bin of regulations.”

Get the Ananyamug. 
All the boys like her for her exotic looks, but they don't know how she really is. She is very insecure and so puts other girls down to feel better. Flirts with everyone and likes to break hearts as it boosts her ego.
She is very smart though and gets top marks. She could be amazing if she improved her self esteem.
Has dark brown hair and hazel green eyes. Needs braces.
