==Lore & History==
===General===
Voruna was once the warden and guardian of the Circulus, the holiest of the Yuvan temples on Lua where numerous rituals of Continuity were held. Conducted by the Yuvan Clerisy, these perverse rituals allowed the Orokin to transfer their consciousness into new, younger bodies to preserve their lives.
Due to the unique nature of Void Conjuctions that would appear on Lua, Continuity rituals held here would have an increased success rate. However the Void would often manifest latent thoughts and emotions as violent manifestations, which is the purpose of Voruna's duty. She would stalk the Circulus's halls, slaying any wayward manifestations with her pack of wolves by her side.
====Voruna's Pack====
When performing her duty as the Circulus's defender, Voruna had a pack of four wolves who would accompany her when protecting the rituals.
* Dynar, the shadowed and stealthy. He provides Voruna with the vigilant gift of stealth that she may only take her enemies by surprise.
* Raksh, the invigorating defender. Voruna's own loyal guardian, he ferociously guards his mistress and other pack members.
* Lycath, the stalwart brother. With his hunt, he provides, becoming the soul of the pack.
* Ulfrun, the Fierce and fanged. The most formidable of the pack, his strength is legendary.

*Worm Queen: "No no, I insist. You first. 'If you insist... How kind. How very kind.'"

*Worm Queen: "Kind? You must be thinking of my sister. 'Where is the fair lady then? Should we deal here in?' She sort of lost of head last we played. 'Oh? How scandalous.'"

*Drahk Master: "(grunts) My queen! The Drahks are restless, where are we to hunt?"

*Worm Queen: "To Lua. (howls)"

Executor Tuvul:
:
During The Collapse where the Orokin Empire fell and the Tenno had turned on their masters, Voruna and her pack pursued the head of the Yuvan Clerisy, Executor Tuvul, to the Circulus, who was attempting to perform Continuity on himself to escape his demise.
As Tuvul reached the temple, he brought forth a profaned tome that belonged to Albrecht Entrati; the . Using the knowledge of the Void stored within, Tuvul started the ritual, attempting to transfer his mind into the body of a child; one who was stored in a peculiar cryopod. As the incantations started, a horde of manifestations were summoned, presumably drawn from Tuvul's vice.
Voruna and her pack tore into the abominable creatures, hacking and slashing them to pieces, but they were eventually overwhelmed; Raksh was the first to fall. Then Lycath, Dynar, and finally, the fiercest of them all, Ulfrun, was slain. As Tuvul's ritual neared completion, Voruna, howling with grief, took the severed heads of her fallen wolves and pushed him aside to hijack the Continuity, performing it on herself instead. Dousing herself and her pack-mates with the seething crimson, Voruna and her wolves were reborn, now fused together into a singular entity, who proceeded to mercilessly devour Tuvul. As Voruna left, she was last seen cradling the Operator in her arms.
===Lua's Prey===
As Lua rumbles, the Void exposes old scars and revives forgotten secrets. Smelling possible treasure, the Worm Queen's have descended upon these newly exposed halls, only to be instantly by its long-dormant Orokin Neural Sentry. Believing that traces of Voruna could be found, the lesser Queen hopes to collar the Warframe and confine her to a cage.
==Notes==
*If Voruna wields her Signature Weapons:
**: Gains 24 more Ammo Maximum, for a total of 48.
**: Heavy Attack Slam vortex requirement reduced to 5x Combo Multiplier.
*Voruna possesses two Appearance Auxiliary Attachments that make her more visible to players during her Invisible ability : Semi-Cloak, which makes the Warframe semi-transparent; and Glow-Cloak, which produces an opaque glow. These appearances are affected by primary energy color and do not alter how enemies perceive the player.
*Dynar and Raksh are both labeled Voruna Armor in Voruna's Appearance Shoulder Pad Attachments, and are thus removable and/or replacable with other Shoulder Pad Attachments. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect voruna's usage on her abilities.

**Voruna's name was suggested by Design Council member Orabell.
*The name Voruna is a variation of Žvorūna, a name synonymous to Medeina, the Lithuanian goddess of forests, trees, and animals. In Lithuanian mythology, she is described as a lone voluptuous and beautiful huntress often escorted by a pack of wolves, with her form exuding both divine and demonic traits.
* With the addition of Warframe Passives since , Voruna is the first newly-developed Warframe to not possess a dedicated passive ability of her own. Instead, each of her four abilities enables in-mission selection of a passive effect by holding down the ability button.
*She was originally planned to release with The Duviri Paradox, which was delayed until 2023 for further development. In Devstream 165, she was announced to release with Lua's Prey instead.
