The Circle employee who first shows Mae around campus. It is she who secures Mae a job, but she feels threatened after Mae's quick success within the company. Annie works long hours and is incredibly cheerful yet goal-oriented. She is high up in the Circle - in the Gang of 40 - and specializes in international law. Annie comes from a wealthy family with a long, but sordid, history in the United States. Mae's best friend and coworker at the Circle. Once she goes transparent, being watched all day by anyone who tunes in, she becomes increasingly superficial, and she puts aside the irresponsible days of youth and becomes a world-renowned model of external virtue. As she gets sucked into the cult of the Circle, she loses her identity and outside relationships and becomes more and more like a robot. A recent college graduate and native of Longfield, California, Mae is a quick study who rapidly rises in the ranks at the Circle.
