Biography: The beginning of time was a slow and boring process. Yana’s first conscious thoughts were nothing as advanced as what the human mind is capable of. They were however very numerous. She had no form to take, no memories to look back on, and no understanding of the present. Only the future could hold anything for it. But when a small little planet began to show signs of life, she too began to evolve. She watched through the eyes of the millions of fish inhabiting Earth’s waters. To her, which life was a new idea, it was fascinating. But each fish was similar, only the species differences showed any uniqueness. But when they branches out onto land, she had new species altogether to watch. A boom of life spread out over the planet as mammals began to spread their habitats. She watched, learned and memorized everything she could about life on the planet, even taking note on the boring, yet incredibly necessary, plant life. Yana also noticed that mammals died differently to fish. While she had no idea what she truly was, she knew that there were things like her. If she was time, than the being she was now watching would be death. Unlike her, it showed no sings of intelligence or personality. It was methodical in how it retrieved the souls of the dead, even if using its own hands was a slow process.
And then the humans came.
Humans, while seeming quite ugly to her in the early stages, soon became her favourite species. They weren’t more violent than other animals, but they were all unique . As they created so much in small amounts of time she too found herself learning from them. Countless humans asked the question “Why?”, a question she herself had never considered. When they began to form religions, theorizing how life, earth and humans came to be, she could only watch as they proved themselves both smarter and braver than her. She knew she was no god, she had created nothing, she just was. That was the first time since the beginning of time that she would lose sight of herself, but it would not be the last. After millennia of watching them, just like many species before them, humankind was erased. She could not accept that, they were the only thing that had ever sparked anything in her mind. She grew so angry that she tore apart time at the seams like a reel of film. From there, she began watching each human’s individual life from start to finish, since they had evolved from the apes.
But that too ran out eventually.
She knew everything about them, each name, lifespan and death. The only one remaining was death, forever sleeping with no more souls to take. Yana did not want to return to an eternity of boredom, she wanted human life to go on. But time continued to march on regardless, taking a large toll on her sanity. She missed the humans. She missed life. If this was what she had to endure, then she would rather die. She had no idea if that was even possible. She may have taken a human form after so much watching, but mortality was something that had never belonged to her. Since time had formed, she had been. So she formed a plan: A plan to destroy time once and for all. She once again summoned the reel of time. But first, she approached death. It had always never taken notice of her, and she had no way to communicate with it. They might as well have been on separate plains of reality. But there was one thing she could do. Death had managed to form easier ways of taking human souls after learning from them. Scythes, swords, and an axe. The axe had been made in light of the more violent races, such as the Vikings. She stole it and used it to cut away at the reel of time, forever massacring all life present at that time. In essence, with each swing she murdered billions of humans, and countless other life forms. She felt the loss of each human life as her memory disappeared, compensating for their lack of existence. With each swing, she felt new, vigorous, mortal. She was one last swing before all time would have never happened.
But the axe never connected. And time began anew, without her.
Description: She has no control over her personal visage. She is constantly swapping between different points in her existence. The four stages are what she saw as her "youth", a young looking girl wearing a mix of foliage and animal skins as a dress who has only recently became aware of life on earth, her second stage are what looks to be a young woman in a vibrant Victorian dress, minus the corset. She is interested in humans and watches them progress with fascination, the third stage is closer to a human's mid-life and wears bright white robes with a cowl. She is less curious about humans now that she has seen their end, and has gone back to watch the lives of many of them, sometimes all the way through, and looks wiser, yet more tired. Her fourth stage is a dark looking old woman in crimson robes. She has witnessed everything in her world, and ended almost all life in an attempt to destroy both herself and time.
Weapon: Mair'Therril. A battle axe formerly used to separate souls from the bodies of the recently deceased. Has lost most, if not all, of its spiritual abilities, but is still a light but deadly weapon.
Abilities: Yana never had any real manipulation of time; she could only look through it. Time existed as long as she did and vice-versa. Therefore she could watch any point in time from any perspective. In her new physical body, she can slow down or speed up certain things around her, although even if she were to slow something about to fall, the impact would remain the same. She cannot increase or decrease the amount of force something contains no matter how she affects its timeline.
