History
Ishanna is a Shi’ar Eternal and the last known in existence. Long before she was born the Shi’ar Eternals opposed the gods Sharra and K’ythri. They believed that a true empire should be built on love, trust and joy and we’re known to indulge in revelry and loved art in all its forms. Unlike the baseline branch who opposed art and saw it as something that distorted perception.
They tried to lead the people away from conquest and war, believing it would only lead the Shi’ar to a path of ruin. Soon they gathered many followers but the Shi’ar gods grew irate at them and waged a war that killed almost all of the Shi’ar Eternals, Ish’anna was forced to flee while the rest of her people died.
Ish’anna would spend centuries wandering the cosmos, trying to remain hidden, watching in despair as the Shi’ar became conquers and ruthlessly indoctrinate other races into their empire. She did the best she could to help while keeping her existence a secret and always spreading joy and merriment as was her peoples way.
With the many recent blows suffered to the Shi’ar and the imprisonment of Sharra and K’ythri it confirmed her belief of how the empire would fall due to its violent past. She has come to Earth to learn how this one tiny world could have played such a vital role in the empires downfall, and share millenia’s worth of art.
