Annin

91

Annin, also known as the Supreme Elderly Lord, is the guardian of the sacred Furnace of Eight Divisions, the border between life on Earth and the Other World. She is among one of the few beings working under King Yemma that does not appear to be an ogre. Annin takes her job as the guardian of the furnace very seriously. Keeping the furnace fire to prevent demons from escaping into the world of the living is her top priority. She also has quite a temper when it comes to her age, as she was very offended when Goku unintentionally makes fun of it. Grandpa Gohan also implied that she gets upset when her noodles are not ready. She's also the kind of person which resolves to settle a discussion with a fight, as per Goku's insistence she decided to battle him over the decision of turning off the furnace. In spite of all, Annin is a very hospitable and honorable deity, proven by the fact she stopped attacking Goku when he used the Bansho Fan during their quarrel.
