About the Fanlisting
What is a fanlisting?
A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject.

In this case, this fanlisting is dedicated to Tao Ren and Kyouyama Anna from the animanga Shaman King!
About Ren
Ren is a shaman from China who came to Japan to fight Yoh Asakura and to take part in the Shaman Fight in Tokyo. Ren starts off as a 13-year old in the manga and the original Japanese anime, while in the English anime he first appears as a 15-year old.
He is serious, logical, and emotionally aloof. Initially he fights with rage and believes that either one must kill or be killed. As he gains the friendship of Yoh and the other, he becomes more compassionate. Ren tries hard to maintain a tough and confidant exterior, aloof from the rest of the gang, but deep down he would risk his life for them.
Although he is more serious than most of the characters in the story, Tao Ren is actually a year younger than Yoh, he was born in 1986, but because his birthday is January 1st, his age seems to be the same as Yoh until of course Yoh's birthday.
Hao Asakura tells him that he wants him on his team, but he never does anything other than say it.
Ren often fights with Horohoro and the two do not seem to get along, but later it is shown that they are very close friends.
Ren was born on January 1 and is a Capricorn. He has a blood type of AB.

About Anna
In Shaman King, 13-year old Anna is the fiancée of Yoh Asakura, and is an itako - a traditional Japanese shaman. Her specialty is channeling, and she can summon a spirit from anywhere, even from heaven where normal shamans can't reach. In the English anime, she is called a "spirit medium".
She was adopted by Kino Asakura, so the date of her birth was a mystery. In a fanbook however, it was said that her birthday was on July 22, 1985. But it is not known if this is her real birthday or the day she was found by Kino.
Aggressive and decisive as she is beautiful and shrewd, Anna is a pragmatic person who appears cold and almost selfish. However, she has shown that she genuinely cares for those important to her, especially Yoh. She firmly believes that Yoh Asakura is destined to become the Shaman King. Anna wants to become the First Lady of the Shaman World, or the Shaman Queen.
Her strength is shown as she was able to seal in Hao Asakura's guardian spirits (called as shikigami)- Zenki and Kouki, and was able to control them. Anna and Hao seem to have an odd relationship- Anna even very boldly slapped Hao once, but he did not kill her. Many fans suspect that Anna is the reincarnation of the original Asakura Hao's mother from 1000 years ago.
It is obvious that she loves Yoh (despite how badly she seems to treat him sometimes) - she even said it once to his friend Manta Oyamada, and again to Silva, a commissioner for the Shaman Fight. She broke down crying when she thought that Yoh was about to be killed while being possessed by Tokagero (spelled Togakeroh in the English anime, Togakero in the English manga). She is extremely possessive of Yoh, and beat him up when she thought that the Oracle Bell he brought home was a woman's pager. She also reacted jealously when Yoh asked Tamao Tamamura to cook him a meal in the English anime.

Why Ren and Anna?
Ren and Anna seem to have a close but unspoken bond with each other. They both had horrible pasts, (Anna was abandoned, Ren was force-fed the family philosophy and had his hatred towards his family building up) nasty tempers (Anna slapped Hao, Ren tried to kill HoroHoro), and aren't lazy, Anna and Ren are quick, sharp and alert. It seems they are linked in so many ways, ne?

Also, when Anna broke down crying when Hao killed Yoh, who comforted her? Horo Horo, Manta, Chocolove? NO! IT WAS REN!!!

Therefore, it makes a lot of sense that Ren and Anna are made for each other.
Why the name "Bittersweet"?
Bittersweet is a mix of Ren and Anna's personalities. They both have a cold, unfeeling side, and a sweet, gentle and caring side. Hence the name Bittersweet.
