Anya Marie MacPherson is a graduate of Degrassi Community School from the Class of 2011. Ever since transferring from Lakehurst Secondary School, Anya had always been the type of person to be easily manipulated and much more of a follower than a leader. Ever since finding out she wasn't accepted into university, Anya went through a dark period and developed a cocaine addiction, but was inspired to pursue basic training to join the Canadian Forces, and quit the drug. She is a former member of Power Squad, and she suffers from dyslexia, which makes it hard for her to read. She is known for her beauty and admirable personality, always being sweet and supportive of everybody. She is best friends with Holly J. Sinclair and Riley Stavros, and is good friends with Chantay Black, Fiona Coyne, Mia Jones, Sav Bhandari, Leia Chang, Danny Van Zandt, Zane Park and Wesley Betenkamp. She had a conflict with Jane Vaughn. She was portrayed by Samantha Munro.
Anya first appears as Holly J. Sinclair's best friend. However, the friendship is somewhat one-sided and even contains elements of emotional abuse, with Holly J. being the abuser. Anya is seen following Holly J. around during Standing In the Dark in the cafeteria as Holly J. fights with Darcy Edwards. Anya dresses almost exactly like Holly J. and follows her around almost everywhere. Later on, Mia and Anya become acquaintances, as Mia notices how Holly J. treats Anya and brings it to her attention.
