Annie (Perception)

Annie is the main villainess from "Kilimanjaro," the antepenultimate episode of Perception's first season.

She was played by Amelia Rose Blaire, who also played Piper Shaw on MTV's Scream.

Annie is a college student and the neighbor of the episode's murder victim, Christina Lake. During Dr. Daniel Pierce and Kate Moretti's investigation, suspicion fell mainly on Christina's boyfriend, Prince Karl of Hesse-Brandenburg, due to his partying lifestyle, while a young woman named Shannon Duquesne became one herself due to her lie covering for Karl. As for Annie, she spoke fondly of Christina while interviewed by Pierce and Kate, stating that Christina had lots of friends, while only stating that her music was playing loudly while Annie was studying.

The episode's progression also revealed that Christina's ex-boyfriend, Billy Mitchell, had been making a batch of methamphetamine pills and had been giving them to students as a study aid, which made him a suspect, under the belief that Billy killed Christina when she found out. However, after learning that one of the side effects was a hypersensitivity to loud noise, Pierce realized that Annie was the true killer. While Annie was studying, she became disturbed by Christina's loud music and confronted her in her dorm room, only for Christina to respond rudely and slam the door in Annie's face before turning up the music. When she returned again, Karl got in Annie's face and called her an "uptight bitch," which further infuriated Annie.

After putting on earplugs didn't work, Annie went to Christina's room for a third time, only for Christina to act even nastier to Annie in response. Annie fumed as she watched Chrstina yelling at Karl out the window, and she eventually snapped and slammed the window on Christina's neck, breaking it and killing her instantly. The crazed villainess later turned off Christina's music, and went back to her room to study. Annie mentioning the loud music earlier ended up serving as her reveal, and during her interrogation with Pierce and Kate, Annie told them everything: her confrontations with Christina and Karl, as well as confessing to killing Christina, who she blasted for being inconsiderate (in Annie's mind) regarding her goal to pass the MCATs. She even boasted that she did pass, right before she was arrested (off-screen) for killing Christina.
