Personality
Anthem is a being that plans to recreate the world by all costs, it hates humans for what they have done to the world that it created, however, it acknowledges that not all human beings aren't as evil as it knew it.

As Rhyme, it just likes to dance and have fun, at first, because later is revealed that it likes to fight and defeating enemies. Because its for instincts. It can talk in many voice tones according to its personality, which Alto and Cadenza understand, it is unstable.

As Ragnar, it is helpful, friendly and a positive character whose passion for saving the world is bigger than one imagined, she thinks everyone can have a happy life. And helps the characters with their problems since Act 2 of the Episode Mode.

The Dark Side of Anthem is a total destroyer and a trickster who just wants to fight, whereas the Light Side wants to preserve the creation and cares about the world.

Fighting Style/Battle Analysis
Anthem has a very primitive Fighting Style, which involves long range attacks and its motif is mainly war weapons as in mech form, it also can damage souls for inside.

As Rhyme, Its fighting Style is relatively different, it involves dance moves, more based in the classic urban style rather than the ballet-based Ballerina, it has two stances: Moonwalker, which is more dance based and short ranged, and Sunrunner, which involves cutting weapons and many robotic powers.

While Ragnar/Allegro isn't a playable character, it has the same set of combos as Ballerina, however, with Samba, Flamenco, Tango, Cueca and every national dance moves.

The Cyborg form has Sunrunner by default, and has an special attack involving its heels.
