* Awakened Form
* Rimestar

5th Herrscher

**Ana Schariac** is a former A-rank Valkyrie and the Current Era's Herrscher of Ice. Prior to her awakening, she was the leader of the Snow Lotus Squad.

## History

After years of training, Ana became a Valkyrie at age 12 and eventually an A-rank Valkyrie at age 16. She was made the Adjutant of the Snow Lotus Squad once she hit A-rank.

The Squad had been annihilated by the Honkai later on. With disaster all around her, she panicked and was at a loss for what to do. She was torn. She had promised to protect humanity. She had taken the oath. Yet here she was, running away.

While doing so, she encountered a little girl, but left her behind, most likely because of her internal conflict.

Later she changed her mind and decided to save some civilians, Owl included. The two got along really well, even making a bet that they would date if they made it out alive. Ana gave him half of her prized necklace and told him to hold onto it until they reunited after she went to get help. Then she learned a horrible truth. That girl she had left behind was Owl's little sister. As he explained he needed to find her, her heart broke.

After bringing him and others to medical care, she told him to keep his half of the necklace, and that he didn't have to fulfill the promise. Out of guilt, she pushed him away, leaving him behind.

After the incident she became the Snow Lotus Squad leader and was stationed on Coral until present day.

## Game Story

Ana would soon awake into The Herrscher of Ice and kill her squad as she lost control.

She was anguished as she did so, and tried to hide in a cocoon of ice so as to not hurt anyone else. World Serpent had other plans for her, however, and the team of Owl, Raven, and Raiden Mei broke her prison with the 3rd Divine Key.

Ana managed to distract them and run further inside the city.

In the middle of the team's plan to capture her, Owl unexpectedly betrayed them. Tranquilizing Raven, and using the Scepter of Duat on Mei, he was able to run away with Ana.

Here is where we learn of the connection between Owl and Ana.

Owl helps Ana along until Mei and Durandal catch up to them. Mei tries to attack Ana despite his protests, and upon seeing her face, stops. Owl takes the opportunity to take Ana away, and Mei lets them go.

Rita Rossweisse and the Immortal Blades notice a rise in Honkai attacking the borders, along with a steep temperature drop. They suppress the waves of beasts and push further towards the city from the bridge, where they run into the two. Owl tries to convince Rita to let them pass, and asks Ana a question. Ana, however, can only make inhuman noises, unable to properly talk. Rita refuses, and Ana knocks out the rest of her squad, leaving her by herself to fend her off.

To no one's surprise, Rita loses and is heavily wounded in the process. Mei and Durandal find the whole squad barely clinging on to life, and Durandal tells Mei to go ahead. Durandal can be heard healing the Immortal Blades with The Abyss Flower.

Along their journey, Owl collapses. Ana, having regained some consciousness, brings him to a field of flowers. There she begins to speak to him. He's so excited, talking about how they can prove she's human now and that they won't have to run away anymore, but Ana stops him. She thanks him for all his help, but then tells him to let her die as a human. Ana tells him that she's been trying so hard to push away the Honkai, but she's at her very limit. If she isn't killed soon she may not be able to control herself any longer. Owl is very upset and confused, but Ana only pushes him away again, freezing his feet in ice so that he can't follow her.

She willingly goes to Mei herself, and Mei immediately understands what she wants. Ana desperately uses the last of her strength to let it happen, and Mei easily defeats her.

Owl, limbs tearing apart, blocks Ana from Mei's final attack. He reiterates how she will have to get through him to kill her, and Ana's mind suddenly fades. Just as she had feared, she lost control quickly and stabbed Owl with a chunk of ice. Owl only asks why as he dies.

In the deep dark abyss, he learns the truth about his sister. Before Mei can land the final blow (again) he awakens as the Herrscher of Stars and brings Ana into an unidentified space where he explains he doesn't know whether to hate her or thank her. Deciding that she still saved his life and gave it meaning, he offered her his power. Ana accepted, which resulted in a unique Herrscher-class entity to be born: the Herrscher of Rimestar. It was capable of controlling both ice and gravity. Later, she was ultimately defeated by Durandal and Mei.

Some Valkyries deployed at Coral created a gravestone for Ana and Owl. Mei and Durandal placed both halves of Ana and Owl's necklace on top of it, giving them their final farewell.
