Ani is a new student at Liberty High who becomes entangled in the lives of her fellow students. She narrates the season 3 trailer saying: "Here's the thing about the kids at Liberty High. They're connected by their secrets, connected and forever changed. The truth is given the right circumstances, the right motivation, anyone could have done this. Bryce Walker did hurt a lot of people but the one he hurt the most was Jessica Davis."

Ani is Grace Saif's first major TV role. The British actress is 23 years old and was trained at RADA in London. Before landing a role in Netflix's 13 Reason Why, Grace had a guest role in the UK soap opera Doctors. She also voiced the part of Abby in the World of Warcraft: Battle of Azeroth video game and has starred in short films including the likes of Wilton in 2016 and Night Out in 2018.

As it stands, Grace's Twitter and Instagram accounts are private. We can't wait to see what the rising star does next.
