==== Early Life ====
==== Early Life ====
Born as '''Hæva Hamanomiya''', affectionately nicknamed '''Sky''' by those close to her, the woman who would become known as '''The Prophet''' came into the world in the distant city of [[Karakura]] ''(A small city located far beyond present-day Cinder)''. She was the youngest child of [[Istraks]] scholars, with their parents frequently absent due to research duties, Hæva was primarily raised by her older brother, '''Sakuta Hamanomiya''', who became her guardian, mentor, and closest friend.
Before she was the “Prophet,” she was known as '''Hæva Hamanomiya''', nicknamed ''Sky'' by those close to her. The truth of her birth was unknown- found as a young toddler and raised as the youngest child of a Shikagan scholar and an Istraki mother in the distant city of Karakura, far beyond present-day Cinder. But her soul was not entirely mortal. Unbeknownst to her, she was the last remnant of a '''Fallen Herald of the Five,''' an angelic being bound into flesh. Her parents kept her hidden, praying she might live an ordinary life, untouched by divinity.
 
From childhood, she felt the world too vividly… Her heart both too heavy and too restless. Described as ''“sweet chaos incarnate,”'' she was bright, curious, and filled with warmth, yet shadows lingered at the back of her mind- voices she could not name. Her older brother, '''Sakuta''', became her guardian while their parents’ work kept them absent.


Described as “sweet chaos incarnate,” Karakura was her entire world. Its buildings, shops, alleyways, and quiet temples formed her earliest memories.
But fate was cruel. At 12, her parents were killed in a vessel crash. And though grief struck deep, the Five were not entirely merciless. At 13, she befriended '''Leonel Volantivaska''', a calm, kind-hearted boy whose laughter rekindled her own. Yet fate was not finished with her. At 16, Sakuta succumbed to sudden illness, leaving her alone. It was then the first cracks in her angelic shell appeared. The whispers grew louder... fate and fire, balance and ruin. The voices of the '''Five Pillars''', slowly stirring the truth buried inside her.


==== Teenage Years ====
She became the sole heir to the Hamanomiya name. In her grief, she uncovered fragments of her family’s history- ties to the Kingdom of Istraks, the legacy of her bloodline, and the shifting of her identity.
But at the age of '''12''', tragedy struck when Hæva’s parents died in a transport vessel crash en route to the land beyond Karakura. Their sudden loss shattered her life as Sakuta, still a young man himself, stepped in to raise her alone. The once lively Sky grew quieter, more reserved, turning inward to process her grief.


Her quiet personality began to ease around age '''13''', when she befriended a boy named '''Leo Volante''', a curious, kind-hearted, yet loud soul who would become her best friend. Their friendship brought light back into her life, as days became brighter, and days began to be filled with laughter.
==== Pre-Cinder Years ====
In time, her friendship with Leo developed into love. She had not planned it, nor expected it, but welcomed it nonetheless. At 20, they married.


But fate was not yet finished testing her. At '''16''', Sakuta passed away due to a sudden illness, leaving Hæva completely alone, the sole heir to the Hamanomiya name and its legacy. It was during this period of grief that she began to uncover the history of her family, records of their ties to the '''Kingdom of Istraks''', her identity, everything she knew, began to shift.
For three fleeting years, she knew happiness with him. Living a normal life with him, she bore '''triplets''', her miracles. Mortal children, untouched by her hidden divinity. For a brief time, she believed she could simply live as Hæva, as Sky, not as the vessel of a destiny she did not choose.


==== Adult/Marriage Years ====
But mortality proved merciless. The triplets died within weeks of birth. Months later, Leo too was taken in a tragic accident. And with him, her final hope of an ordinary life.
But of course, despite everything, falling in love with Leo had never been part of her plan though, but it happened all the same. Being her sole support, the two married when Hæva was '''20''', and for a brief time, happiness returned to her life. All was well, as three years later, she gave birth to their '''triplets''', a miracle that seemed to fix her new life. Her pride and joy, her children. But fate was cruel, as it was not to last.


All three children passed within weeks due to complications, and the grief overwhelmed her. Leo tried to support her, doing everything in his power to keep her grounded. But fate, ever so cruel, claimed him in a tragic accident only months later. The loss of her family—her parents, her brother, her children, her husband—left Hæva broken.
Her grief became uncontainable. Holding his dying body in her arms, her divinity broke its bindings. In her agony, wings tore through flesh, a halo burned bright, and she revealed for the first time her '''fallen angelic form''': four wings lined with eyes, horns of radiant shadow, her mortal shell half-consumed by light and void. But even in the brink of death, giving her one last kiss despite her form, with his death, the secret became hers alone to bear.[[File:Prophet Glass.png|thumb|289x289px|Stain glass of the Prophet]]


==== Creation of Pavvaltaar ====
==== Creation of Pavvaltaar ====
In the wake of unspeakable loss, Hæva abandoned Karakura. Consumed by sorrow, fury, and a longing for something greater than the world that had taken everything from her, she traveled. Past different lands, into the mountains beyond Karakura. There, in the silence of the mountainous heights, she is said to have heard the voices of the '''Divine Five''', ''Aynor, Lunaris, Aerlion, Pavv, and Dicio''. Whether vision, dream, or madness, something changed within her.
Shattered, she abandoned Karakura. She wandered, aimless, until her path carried her to the land of Cinder- specifically, the ancestral lands of Istraks, bounded under the Republic of Ritannia. In the mountains, the whispers became commands. The '''Five Pillars''' finally spoke to her directly:
 
* '''Aerlion, the War Pillar''', taught her strength and endurance.
* '''Lunaris, the Knowledge Pillar''', gave her sight into hidden truths.
* '''Pavv, the Fate and Chaos Pillar''', bound her soul, reminding her she could not escape destiny.
* '''Aynor, the Life Pillar''', gave her renewal amidst despair.
* '''Dicio, the Death Pillar''', forced her to accept what she had lost.


Taking the name '''The Prophet''', she journeyed to the northern reaches of what is now the '''Republic of Ritannia''', once the land of the Istraks, her ancestral kin. With renewed purpose, she began the construction of Pavvaltaar, a monastery city as she laid the foundation of the '''House of Hearth''', a spiritual order devoted to the '''Five Pillars'''.
From their voices, she became '''The Prophet.''' No longer Hæva. No longer Sky. She laid the foundations of '''Pavvaltaar''', the monastery-city and heart of the House of Hearth. Her teachings spread, and Istraks, long buried under Ritannian rule... Began to rise once more, eventually reborn under King Johannes’ banner.
 
==== Ruler of the Kingdom of Istraks ====
After the independence of Istraks and the disappearance of King Johannes van Munke, she served as Regent of the kingdom. During the war between Ritannia and Thundra, she fully assumed the mantle as the '''Crowned Prophetess of Istraks''', guiding her people fully as ruler.
