Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lady Anya is present in the High Hall of the Eyrie, surrounded by her sons, when Tyrion Lannister demands a trial by battle to prove his innocence of the claims against him.[2]
A Feast for Crows
Anya is one of the Lords Declarant who swear to drive Lord Petyr Baelish out of the Vale and to protect their young lord, Robert Arryn. After signing a declaration at Runestone,[7] they gather six thousand men to the Gates of the Moon, demanding that Petyr give up his position of Lord Protector of the Vale and leave the province.[4]
Petyr invites the Lords to the Eyrie for negotiations. Petyr has secretly bribed one of them, Ser Lyn Corbray, to draw his sword, Lady Forlorn, at the meeting. Anya finds Lyn's actions dishonorable, which gives Petyr an edge in the negotiations. Petyr asks for a year to set things right in the Vale, which the lords agree to.[4] Afterward, Petyr confides in Sansa that the elderly Lady Waynwood might be dead in a year.[4]
Anya is present at the wedding of Lord Lyonel Corbray in Gulltown. This is unexpected because Lyonel is an adherent of Lord Baelish and the other Lords Declarant shun the wedding, aside from Lord Benedar Belmore and Ser Symond Templeton. Petyr explains to Sansa Stark that he has bought up the debts of the Waynwoods and persuaded Anya to give permission for Sansa to wed her ward, Harrold Hardyng, if Harry agrees.[3]

Quotes by Anya
Petyr: Robert should have an older boy about him too. A promising young squire, say. Someone he could admire and try to emulate. You have such a boy at Ironoaks, my lady. Perhaps you might agree to send me Harrold Hardyng.
Anya: Lord Petyr, you are as bold a thief as I'd ever care to meet.[4]—Petyr Baelish and Anya
