Devana (Earth-3988)

History Devana or "Dziewanna" is one of the Dievas, the Slavic gods of Eastern Europe, Devana the Slavic Goddess of the Hunt and the sister of the god of storm, thunder and lightning Perun, born in Iriys, Svarga, to Svarog and Lada.

Svarog attributed shares of his power to his sons, but Perun and Svantovit usurped their other brothers' share of powers to gain their father's favor, ultimately turning on each other, with Svarog refusing to involve himself. Devana the Slavic Goddess of the Hunt not wishing to engage in futile and foolish things for her such as her brothers' "power games" and only wishing for the freedom to hunt through the northern forests feeling the wind hit her hair and the excitement of one good hunt accepted Perun's leadership unchallenged

Early Years

Devana helped Perun to prevented the ocean goddess Jurate from marrying a mortal, as she was betrothed to Perun's uncle Potrimpo.

He married with Saule. When she was kidnapped by the death god Veles), Perun chased him across the Earth, defeated him and returned him back to his realm of Vela/Virey, despite Veles transforming into a dragon.

She utilized her abilities and powers as Slavic Hunting Goddess, to find your cousin, Dazhbog, who was destined to succeed to Perun as the lightning god.

In 893 AD, along the Banks of the Neva River, Devana helped a group of Slavic Demigod Druids to help their Slavs worshipers against the Norsemen led by Thor, but were both killed by Gorr the God Butcher. Shortly after this incident both Devana and Perun were revived by the power of their father Svarog and brought back to the Svarga domain.

Christinanity

In 980 AD, king Vladimir the Great converted to Christianity, and hundred of oak statues sacred to Perun were thrown into the Dneiper River. The Dievas were forced back to Svarga, as Svarog determined it was in the Dievas' best interest to return to their native realm and cut off most ties with the Earth realm. Devana however remained among mortals in disguise as a hunter woman and although she had never allowed Christian Priests to "convert" her through Baptism she gained a deep understanding of the ways of Christendom.

Modern Days

Devana helped her brother Dieva Perun to regain his divine nature when for reasons unknown, Perun was stripped of his godhood and bound to an amulet. That amulet was later found by Russian agent Valeri Soyloyev who used it to share his body with the headstrong deity, much to his distaste.

Under unrevealed circumstances, Perun was drafted into working as an an agent of the Russian government, becoming their analogue to the Norse god Thor in the United States. Devana hunted the mortal human with the amulet in which Perun's powers were locked and managed to free Brother Dieva by restoring his divinity.

In light of an increase of global tensions in the superhuman community, marked by the Avengers answering to King T'Challa of Wakanda and the formation of the Defenders of the Deep by Namor to drive off human presence in the oceans, a mission that included the attack of Russian submarines in the Black Sea, the Russian government decided to revamp the Winter Guard. As part of the expanded roster, Perun joined the Winter Guard. Perun shared ranks with your sister Slavic Goddess of the Hunt Devana. During one of their earliest missions, Perun and Devana faced together Thor Odinson, Namor the Sub-Mariner and She-Hulk.
