[Character History] Mortal Near the end of the Silver Millennium, Ananda battled a Telekinetic warrior who, before Ananda defeated her, created an irreversible "flux" in her brain, which gave her the power of Empathy, or reading others emotions. Unable to control her powers, Ananda left the Moon Kingdom for Ordin, to train under the current "Millennium Sorceress", Helaine, who eventually kept Ananda captive in order to drain her power from her. After the end of the Moon Kingdom, Ordin and its inhabitants were separated from the rest of the Universe by Helaine's magic. Unable to leave, Ananda was forced to study there until Helaine's death, which released her from Ordin. Curious about what happened to her friends and her brother, she left for Earth. The identity of her daughter's father is unknown even to her closest relative, her brother Carlyle. After some time she became restless, began to travel, and met Zohn Kurrai, eventually agreeing to help him build his school.
