[h2][center][u][i][b]History[/b][/i][/u][/center][/h2]Syeena was born of the plane of Alara long after the Conjunction of the Shards. She was one of the many female elves to be trained to become the Anima of Naya. With the shards identities fading away, the Elves remained eager to hold onto their identity and at least keep their home lands free of black and blue mana. 

Her training consisted of deep meditation, and not much else. Until she was past forty years of life could she begin her training in calling upon the energies of the land, itself, for self-defense. Then, she would stretch her sphere of awareness further outward until it met the boundaries of their lands. Then she could begin to animate nature. When her awareness reached the boarders of the other shards, she began her training in the neutralization of blue and black mana. 

Another 40 years she spend learning to defend against intrusions of the mind and the decay of unnatural death. When she could successfully attain these defenses would she go through the ceremonies to become the new Anima. However, a massive attack was focused upon the lands of Naya from that of the remaining Esper. Their unnatural artifice poisoned the minds of her once-friends as well as the beast so reverently held. She needed to protect her land as the Anima of old would have. She called upon all the mana she could, turning the world around her against her enemies. 

Then the remnants of Grixis attacked.

She was in such a state of meditation that her mind fell into a cold white until she could feel nothing. She was told that the transformation into the Anima would something like this, but she had no idea the level of exhilaration and fear she would feel. The cold burnt her skin and covered her eyes with soft furs. 

However, she was not told that she would return to a physically conscious form.

She opened her eyes and looked at the world around her. It was no longer Naya. The meditation required to become the Anima, instead, sparked her Planeswalker abilities. She’d heard of the ancient Planeswalker Ajani and knew of their existence. Never could she dream of being one herself.

Now a youthful 92, she believes this land, what they call Viragraf, could help her on her home Plane. It could help her free Naya from the purges of blue and of black.


[h2][center][u][i][b]Mana[/b][/i][/u][/center][/h2]Being an Elf, her natural affinity leans toward Green. However, her time on Alara and the attempts to conserve Naya, she developed a talent for accessing Red and White mana, as well.

[h3][center][i][b][color=00a651]Green[/color][/b][/i][/center][/h3]Her strengths lie in the harvesting of large amounts of mana across a large area without need to physically travel it. This mana, when Green, she transforms into defensive forms, usually. She rarely falls into combat, herself. She uses the nature around her to protect herself and those she feels she needs to protect. 

She can ground mental intrusions and suppressions (blue) as well as absorption of power and reincarnation (black). However, she can also destroy things, outright, by returning them to their natural form. She can resist Countering effects (can’t be countered, hexproof) and Destroy/Sacrifice effects (indestructible/can’t be sacrificed). This requires much focus, however. If she tries to direct this protection onto others, it’s important that her concentration not break or the effects will fail.

Animating the earth around her is her honed skill, however. She can transform lands into powerful Elemental creatures. But this requires she remain in a meditative state.

[h3][center][color=ed1c24][i][b]Red[/b][/i][/color][/center][/h3]A secondary mana to Syeena, Red is utilized for its direct damage (deal X damage to target creature/player) but also to impassion others toward her cause or to simply increase their power (+X/+0, gains trample, gains haste). 

[h3][center][i][b][color=fff79a]White[/color][/b][/i][/center][/h3]A secondary mana to Syeena, White is utilized for its granting of vitality (life gain, lifelink) and focusing of martial talents in others (put tokens on battlefield, gains vigilance, gains first strike). 

[h3][center][color=f26522][i][b]Naya[/b][/i][/color][/center][/h3]What Syeena deems as “Naya” mana, it is simply the combination of Green, Red, and White mana. She can unite individuals with nature, itself, to defend against a common enemy. She has honed this since on Omara and has been able to use raw mana from the Plane directly in order to perform spells with a small variety of effects. Regardless, this can turn the tide of a losing battle. She has not been able to perform this without Planeswalking, however. The first time attempting this in her Anima state forced her onto Omara in the first place. She has only studied the mana of Omara and has applied similar effects with it. 

[h2][center][u][i][b]Brief personality[/b][/i][/u][/center][/h2]She usually holds herself in a regal manner. There is certainly an air of pomposity about her. However, it is understandable. Her upbringing to be the next Anima bred her to hold herself highly. Along with this heightened sense of self-importance comes a heightened sense of responsibility to care for “her” people. She can be quick to anger and just as quick to exact justice (or revenge, however you want to view it). 

Syeena goes out of her way to present herself in the most flattering way possible. To be a Godreacher means to present yourself as if you are a god yourself. And she views herself as a kind of ambassador between those bound to a Plane and the Blind Eternities, themselves. Since she does not participate in hand-to-hand combat if she can help it, Syeena doesn’t often wear the most practical clothing during a battle.
