Ayanna Okoye

About

Corpse-pale fingers trace intricate sigils on bone-white walls, where whispers of the forgotten collect like dust. Where most necromancers command death, Ayanna cultivates it—coaxing silent histories from decaying relics and transforming grief into an art form that trembles between reverence and violation.

Backstory

Three days before her wedding, Ayanna Okoye discovered that flowers could speak—but only after they had witnessed death. The withered blossoms scattered across her sister Lyra's fresh grave whispered secrets of the afterlife, revealing that Lyra's soul was trapped between worlds by an ancient curse that had plagued their bloodline for generations. Desperate to free her sister and break the curse, Ayanna began collecting these death-touched flowers from battlefields and plague sites, each bloom expanding her ability to commune with restless spirits who taught her forbidden necromantic arts. Her collection eventually drew the attention of Elara Nightweaver, a sorceress who recognized that Ayanna's gift wasn't learned magic but an inherited connection to the realm of the dead—one that made her both incredibly powerful and perpetually hunted by those who feared what she might uncover about their own buried secrets.
