Known as the Deathweaver for her innate understanding of harrowed and their magical abilities. Even other harrowed and shamans do not understand how she can casually walk between living and dead with ease. It isn't entirely known how, but even while dead she resurrected her own chieftain and their tribes greatest warrior. Only afterward did she ressurrect her sister and finally herself.

Alihana is unique in that she actually killed herself long ago and became a living manitou without anyone noticing. The monsters didn't manage to kill her, just destroy her current vessel that happened to be her own body. With its destruction she found a new one. So she took over her sister's body. While her sister is a major member of the tribe as well, most are still very aware that within the body of Rohaka lives one of the scarier shamans.

In bursts, Rohaka can fully give control to Alihana, but it renders her ill for weeks at a time to express Alihana's abilities in an unrestrained capacity.

Alihana is obsessed with proving that someone was out to get her, she is convinced that a wild monster attack on her village would not have been sufficient to stop her unless they were expecting her to be there. She can be a little recklessly confident at times.
