- "I'm just a poor old woman, dear. No need to trouble yourself with me."
- ―Anise[src]
Anise is an elderly Nord who lives just southwest of Riverwood, and can often be found gardening or sitting on a chair outside her cabin.
Appearance
She appears indifferent to anyone just visiting, but is secretly a witch and will become hostile if she sees anyone stealing from her or if the Dragonborn enters her cellar, which contains an arcane enchanter and an alchemy lab, as well as various alchemical ingredients. There is also a letter in the cellar which indicates that she desires to create a witches coven.

Trivia
- Her sister Moira will send hired thugs after the Dragonborn if Anise is stolen from or killed. This is confirmed by the contract on her body signed by the same Helgi to whom the letter in Anise's cellar is addressed.
- It is possible, although very rare, that she may reveal her powers if wolves or bandits happen to come by as the Dragonborn is near, attacking them with magic.
- If Illusion or Restoration spells are cast towards or at Anise, she will immediately turn hostile.
- Vampire's Seduction has similar effects, making her not very ideal for conscious feeding (only possible if Dawnguard is installed) if the Dragonborn is a vampire.
- If the Dragonborn is without a house, her shack is a good place to temporarily stay, due to the arcane enchanter, alchemy lab and ingredients, and because her cabin is a marked location on the map.
- After leaving the basement, if the Dragonborn leaves the area without killing Anise, she will forever be hostile, attacking upon each subsequent visit.
