Anjanas are enchanted ladies of snow and stars, from the Spanish region of Cantabria, and seem to be an evolution of a Pre-Christian deity.
In some rural areas, an Anjana will visit the home of hard working children during Twelfth Night and give them coins or toys. Of course, as with Perchta, this tradition is getting phased out in favor of the more standard Santa Claus.
That said, Anjanas are another "cultural cousin" of Perchta and Holda, and thus, this post.

what i like about She Hides Sometimes is that Anjana doesn't make all the "right" decisions that the kind of people who like to mock horror movie characters would probably say she "should have" made. When the linen closet disappears, she wonders if her father remodeled the house. When the attic vanishes, she decides she just needs rest and that it'll definitely be back in the morning. When she tries to tell someone else what's happening and they're (understandably) confused, she changes the subject. She does her best to ignore the walls closing in around her and pretend that everything is fine until she literally can't anymore, and for better or for worse, i personally feel like that's very human of her tbh
Stills from We Are Lady Parts season 2, coming May 30
A NOTE FROM NIDA MANZOOR (CREATOR/WRITER/DIRECTOR/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IN PEACOCK'S PRESS RELEASE:
Making season one of We Are Lady Parts was immense for me. It was a trial by fire, but I found my voice, my style and my confidence in creating this show. Most importantly, I found my tribe - from actors and crew to producers and studio execs. So, coming to season two, I was galvanised. The characters, the world, the tone - it was all there, established, and ready to go. Now it was time to turn things up to 11. I wanted to go bolder, sillier, darker and deeper and that is exactly what we strived to do.
In season two, we explore the interior lives of each of the women in more depth. Each of them facing new, existential challenges with all the silliness, pratfalls and banter of season one. The music is bigger too - more wild original tunes (penned by me and my siblings) and dare I say it, even better covers. The season overall asks the question of success. What is success? For a punk band - is fame, stadium shows and major record deals the answer? I wanted to explore the uncomfortable tension between art and commerce and ask how much compromise is too much. I'm really proud of what we achieved, and can't wait to share it with old fans and new.
