History: Mihana was born and raised in the Twelveswood by her mother, Sa'rana Zhralyia. Her true given Seeker name is M'hana. Her clan put great emphasis on obeying the laws of the woods, paying tribute to Oshcon the Wanderer for their nomadic lifestyle, but above all else respected the elementals. A prayer to these invisible beings for their hunt, surviving off what only they were allowed to hunt. Unlike the rest of her clan M'hana hated this style of life preferring a life of excitement and playing pranks. Naive and immature.

Around her 16th Nameday all it took was a fight with Sa'rana one night for her to run away from this life and into the deserts of Thanalan. Along with it she dubbed herself "Mihana" and dropped her native name. She was certain her new life would make her rich, famous, and revered by all as the greatest hunter in all of Hydaelyn.

That is how it all began.

In the Sixth Astra Era at the Battle of Carteneau M'hana was gravely wounded and not long for death before Louisox sent her along with other adventurers into an aetherial rift for five years. She has emerged from that rift into a new and unknown world. Along with that, the power of the Echo that had laid dormant within her for so long has awakened. It may be the Echo, a power she feared and didn't understand which others had, and Louisoix's spell, that spared her from death that day five years ago.
