(pronounced “yah-nah oo-roo”)

Yana Uru is the youngest of the Chanka royalty warriors.

Being one of the direct descendants of the semi-divine warrior Anquwillka (“Ancovilca”), Yana Uru is endowed with royal blood that gives her body superhuman vitality.

Cheerful, playful, and cunning, Yana Uru is an attractive teenager with a smile that is innocent and mischievous at the same time. Because of her great lineage, she is considered royalty and is served by all Chankas. Although Yana was born of nobility, she considers herself one of the people and her best friends and confidants are her servants with whom she likes to talk and share gossip with, especially if they are about Wayra with whom she has a complicated friendship.

One of her best friends is her fellow warrior Amsay Rumi, whom she affectionately calls Rumi-Rumi. She enjoys his company and looks for any excuse to spend time with him.

Yana is an excellent athlete and very skilled with the bow and arrow. Since childhood, Yana always preferred to play with boys than with girls. She enjoyed competing with them, beating them, and sometimes humiliating them. Any boy who made the mistake of thinking that Yana was a delicate flower would quickly discover his great mistake. By spending so much time surrounded by men, Yana’s language and manners are not what is expected from a woman, especially one that belongs to the nobility.

Yana was raised to be Yawar Supay’s wife, who is more than twice her age. In a way she was a “gift” from the Chanka people to Yawar Supay. Although Yana loves and admires Yawar Supay, she is not sure what he feels for her. Yana feels that Yawar Supay doesn’t love her, and that she is just a precious trophy for him. Yawar Supay is generally distant from her, and is rarely intimate with her. For this reason, Yana loves to flirt with other men, on one hand to feel wanted, on another to make her husband jelous … but he seems completely disinterested in her flirtations, which drives her out of his mind.

Yana knows that what Yawar Supay most admires about her is her efectiveness as a warrior. And Yana proudly fights beside her husband, hoping that one day this admiration will become the love she so longs for.
