Ben's childhood friend

Annie was Ben's childhood friend on the Island. She greeted him shortly after his arrival by giving him an Apollo Bar.

Dolls Annie gives to Ben ("The Man Behind the Curtain")

During an attack on the barracks by the Hostiles, Annie was told by the teacher to lock the door, after which Annie guided Ben to safety by bringing him to the perimeter of the classroom. She told him it's "just the Hostiles."

Annie remembered Ben's birthday, unlike his father, and presented him with a pair of carved wooden dolls, designed to represent the two of them. She gave the girl to Ben and kept the boy, telling Ben that now they would never have to be apart from each other. The doll was significant enough for Ben that he kept it into the present day. ("The Man Behind the Curtain")

It is unknown what has happened to Annie since these events.

On the DVD commentary track for "The Man Behind the Curtain" Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse describe Annie and Alexandra as the two most significant women in Ben's life. Annie is described as a character that is going to play a "huge part" in upcoming storylines: "Annie is going to prove to be very significant in Ben's life," and that even the island's volcano will be "slightly less important than Annie, but still seismic."(Season 3 DVD)

Trivia

Annie is a variant of Ann and Hannah, which are of Hebrew origin, meaning "favored grace". Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel. After her marriage Hannah initially seemed to be barren. Later, she asked God to bless her with a child, and her prayer was answered.
"Annie" was the first shown alias of Kate, who used it to try to fool Ray Mullen in "Tabula Rasa". Kate's middle name was revealed to be Anne in "Eggtown".
