Fan Casting Anya Marie MacPherson in Degrassi The Next Generation

Anya first appears as Holly J. Sinclair's best friend. However, the friendship is somewhat one-sided and even contains elements of emotional abuse, with Holly J. being the abuser. Anya is seen following Holly J. around during Standing In the Dark in the cafeteria as Holly J. fights with Darcy Edwards. Anya dresses almost exactly like Holly J. and follows her around almost everywhere. Later on, Mia and Anya become acquaintances, as Mia notices how Holly J. treats Anya and brings it to her attention.
