Story: Centuries ago a portal to Vormir was opened in Japan. Anzu fell into it as a young girl and was doomed to become the stone’s guardian. However as she reached for it, the stone granted her mercy and gave her it’s power instead. She was unaware that the sacrifice required to wield it was still made. When she returned home her brother and best friend had died under unknown circumstances. Anzu grew distressed, even more so when she found herself able to communicate with him once more. He told her that he was okay having died, and that he’d watch her from the heavens. Anzu found little comfort in this however. She vowed to keep the despair she felt from rising in others using the stone’s gift. Years, no decades, were spent in solitude learning to understand how this gift affected her, meditating on it. Once she found peace in her power a weight was lifted off her shoulders. She was ready. 

In the centuries since, Anzu’s become a legend. Stories of her coming in the night after battles to comfort lost soldiers souls turned to stories of her fighting for love of all kinds and fighting yokai and became more mythical with each iteration. Some recognize her stories as the inspiration for the magical girl genre. In the beginning of the 20th century she grew tired of fighting against growing hatred and went into hiding, coming out shortly after Captain America went into the ice to approach Peggy about his death. 

She couldn’t do it. A voice within her said to wait because he might not be dead. But she watched over Peggy Carter from a distance. The woman’s tenacity eventually inspired her to re-learn how to love and fight for love. Now that the world’s much smaller and more filled with powered people, Anzu feels more comfortable showing her face as a hero.
