“Breathe. Focus. Strike.”
<br>— '''Mantra'''
</div>

'''Mantra''' is the warrior identity of '''Elysianne Fields''', a mystic martial artist and member of the [[Crucible:Sisterhood of the White Flame|Sisterhood of the White Flame]]. Like her sister [[Crucible:Manna|Manna]], she was trained in the Sisterhood’s ancient disciplines, mastering the command of ''chi'' in battle against demonic and alien threats.

== Background ==

Elysianne Fields was drawn into the same hidden war that shaped her sister Heaven Lee Fields, the warrior known as [[Crucible:Manna|Manna]]. Within the Sisterhood of the White Flame, Elysianne was trained to discipline body, mind, and spirit into a single weapon. Her training focused not only on physical combat, but on the controlled use of life force for perception, movement, and psychic communication.

The Sisterhood’s central mission brought Mantra into conflict with the alien evil of [[Crucible:D'Harque|D’Harque]] and its servants, placing her among those warriors who confront threats most of the world never sees clearly.

== Sierra Force ==

After Manna was killed by [[Crucible:Azrael|Azrael]], Mantra temporarily joined [[Crucible:Sierra Force|Sierra Force]]. Her time with the team was shaped by grief, duty, and the need to continue the fight in her sister’s absence. Though not a permanent member, she proved an effective ally, especially when the team faced supernatural or extradimensional threats.

Manna’s later resurrection changed the personal stakes of Mantra’s mission, but did not lessen her commitment to the Sisterhood.

== Powers ==

Mantra’s powers arise from mastery of her personal ''chi'', or life force.

* '''Chi Manipulation''' – Channels inner life force for enhanced physical and spiritual effects  
* '''Telepathy''' – Communicates and senses minds through focused chi discipline  
* '''Enhanced Agility''' – Moves with superhuman quickness, balance, and precision  
* '''Heightened Reflexes''' – Responds with extraordinary speed in combat  

Her abilities are disciplined rather than explosive, relying on control, rhythm, and focus.

== Skills ==

Mantra is an extremely skilled martial artist trained by one of the world’s most secretive fighting orders.

* Expert hand-to-hand combatant  
* Skilled acrobat  
* Trained in ritual combat and meditative discipline  
* Experienced against demonic and alien supernatural threats  

== Personality ==

Elysianne is focused, composed, and inwardly intense. Where Manna’s story is marked by transformation and resurrection, Mantra’s is one of continuity: duty maintained, discipline preserved, and grief turned into action. She is less openly radiant than her sister, but no less devoted.

Her calm is not softness. It is preparation.

== Reputation ==

Among mystic warriors, Mantra is respected as a disciplined and capable Sister of the White Flame. Among those who fought beside her in Sierra Force, she is remembered as a steady presence during a difficult period, one who carried private sorrow without allowing it to weaken her purpose.

== Legacy ==

Mantra stands as part of the living tradition of the White Flame: a warrior whose strength comes not from anger, but from discipline. She is often seen in relation to Manna, but her path is her own, defined by control, loyalty, and the quiet refusal to break.
