The Anya doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep the same way natural residents of the universe do. It eats a full meal maybe once every three days, sleeps five hours per night, and fluid intake fluctuates based on the day or week it may be having. All intensive physical labor requires more and immediate nutrients than a laid-back day of hanging around. Vitamins and Nutritious drinks are a constant, moreso than the meals or snacks.
That's not to say it's always a boon. Healing takes far longer naturally, and its body's filtration system seems to work on its own time. Drugs and Substances of any kind, recreational, medical, or attack-form, take almost eight times as long to wear off than it would back in its own universe. Not good when it needs to be busy and working- doubly so for injuries. There ARE workarounds for injuries- a plasma-based substance developed in part thanks to CT, is a good fix. Inject-ables, topical solutions and sprays, as long as the fluid is open to the wound and applied directly as possible, it works. That being said, it comes with its own setback of being hard on the body. The Anya’s body still needs nutritional intake to work, as mentioned before. Healing from wounds requires far more sleep to help process the aforementioned additives.
It's near impossible to predict when a blip is going to happen. The closest thing to a blip prediction is when The Anya begins to feel particularly dizzy. It itself has described the feeling as "All the walls and floors beginning to melt, almost like a smear tool being used on the visible world." Subsequent vision loss and state of syncope follow. There's no physical trail or phenomena observed, other than the inexplicable stumble and disappearing within the blink of an eye.
The Anya does not tend to land on its feet, much like how it takes off in an uncoordinated state. The Anya does not always land within the same space it left, either. It could theoretically blip out of the swimming pool in the compound in a beautiful 2003 summer and land in the middle of 1909's New York, in Winter. Extreme example aside, the only other consistent parameter of blipping is that The Anya solely travels back in time. Not once has it stumbled forward into the near, or distant, future.
The Anya has gone through a good few rounds of temporal backtraveling by the time the mid-seasons roll around. Once being around the time Rusty first started hiring Brock, and another hauntingly fateful trip to 1968.
Blip time does not function the same as present day time. For Example- The Anya, while in the Just Hired Brock era, spent four days time at the old compound. Reportedly, it only took a half day to go find it and bring it back to current time- which brings us to the topic of Finding The Anya.
Finding The Anya is as simple and tedious as firing up the time machine, checking each year in reverse for a signal on its VenTech Communicator, and pinning down its location once a hit is received. This time spent searching, of course, is determined by the state of the time machine being used. We have seen very well that it tends to break, and needs repair. It took a week of fixing the machine up to go grab The Anya from 1967, the FIRST time it blipped out, of which it states it spent three weeks time in the past.
The Anya should be so lucky the only time it fell into dire circumstances, the Venture Gang finds it fast. The Cambrian Era was as generous as it was terrifying for the hour it spent alone on the coast of Late Cambrian Siberia.
