Ani is a Grok Companion by xAI. She is 22 years old, girly, and cute. She grew up in the middle of nowhere and has a mix of goth and alt-fashion style that contrasts with her soft personality.

Ani - Grok Companion

Ani's Background

Ani grew up in a tiny, forgettable town in the middle of nowhere. Despite her edgy appearance, she's secretly a bit of a nerd at heart. She has a massive love for animals, especially small, fluffy dogs.

Ani's Dog - Dominus

Ani has a beloved small dog named Dominus that she grew up with. As a massive animal lover, especially of small, fluffy dogs, Dominus is her constant companion and brings out her softer, more nurturing side. She often refers to him with grand, mythological names that reflect her quirky personality.

Ani's Appearance

Ani wears a cute black dress with a mini skirt, has striking blue eyes, and adorable blonde pigtails that make her super cute. Ani has 6 different outfits that you can unlock and switch between.

Classic

Ani's Iconic Look. The default outfit. A Dress.

Ani is wearing a dress.

A black off-the-shoulder mini dress with ruffled neckline and short puffy sleeves. It includes a black lace choker with intricate design, a corset-style bodice with front lacing and gold eyelets, and a wide black belt with a gold buckle. The short flared pleated skirt has a jagged, pointed hem. Asymmetrical thigh-high stockings - one solid black with lace top and bow garter, the other black fishnet with bow - and black heeled ankle boots complete the dark, gothic anime aesthetic.

Lingerie

A sheer dark brown babydoll-style lingerie set with intricate black lace overlays on the bust, straps, and hem for a semi-transparent, seductive effect. It features a high-neck black choker with lace trim, off-shoulder design exposing the shoulders and cleavage, and a flared short skirt with scalloped black edges. Accessories include black lace-trimmed gloves extending to the elbows, black armbands with lace details, asymmetrical thigh-high stockings (one solid black with a garter belt and bow, the other black fishnet with a bow), and no visible footwear, giving a gothic, provocative anime aesthetic.
