Identity

Annie is Charlotte Lewis.

- Miles has stated she has been to the island before, and has worked hard to get back.
- She thinks it is the place where she was born, during the times of the dharma initiative.
- She has been looking for things associated with the DI, i.e. the polar bear in the desert.
- they both have red hair and freckeles. she could however be using the English accent as a cover , as Annie was American

Counter-evidence

She is interested in Dharma and the polar bear because she works for Widmore.
We don't know that Annie was born on the island.
We don't know that Charlotte was born on the island.
She is Sarah Shephard, the woman Ben knew who "looks just like" Juliet.
She is not old enough to be Annie.
Ben knows everything about her from his background research, obviously he would know if she was Annie.
- Also he would recognize her and vice versa.

Annie is Danielle.

Ben and Annie are about the same age; Ben and Danielle appear to be about the same age.

Counter-evidence

When Harper says to Juliet "Of course [Ben has been good to you]; you look just like her." The her being referred to is Annie.
- She was likely referring to Ben's mother. Juliet and his mother do look alike.
- Good spot! But how does Harper know what Ben's mother looks like? Is there a picture? Creepy...

She gives Ben the dolls so they'll never have to be apart from each other because she was soon going to leave the island.

She got pregnant with Ben's baby and died which is why Ben is so obsessed with finding a cure, also adding onto the fact that he accidentally killed his mother by being born early in the woods. He feels that pregnancy has killed the 2 women he loved the most in his life, and also why he locked Karl up in order to prevent Alex from the same fate. Richard also pointed out to Locke that Ben is far more obsessive with finding a cure than the rest of the Others are.
- This is why Alex was taken, to replace the baby Ben lost with Annie's death.

"Annie" is the childhood name of Penelope Anne Widmore, or should I say Penelope Anne DeGroot. Daughter of Gerald DeGroot and Karen Widmore. Taken from the island by her concerned grandfather and raised as his daughter. Ben has never lost his obsession with Annie and is just another unwanted suitor in Charles Widmore's eyes. Ben pursues Annie (Penny) relentlessly whenever he leaves the island. Widmore is tired of Ben and wants the freighter team to retrieve him. On Find815.com, the letter found with instructions is from the Maxwell Group, a subsidiary of Widmore Industries.
- This seems to have been proven false by Ben's stated goal of killing Penelope as retribution for Alex's death. Unless Ben doesn't know ...

Annie could very well still be alive on the island, she was Ben's friend as a child, and there was a strong bond between them both, Ben could of made sure she was safe during the time of The Purge and is currently residing at the Temple.
