Vaana was born in Jakovo Serbia to Marianne Ketlyn and one Alexander Howler. Her mother was an Italian practitioner of magic while her father was a Feral man with many mental deficiencies such as Schizophrenia and Bi-Polar Disorder. Both of her parents before and even after Vaana's birth were part of an abusive relationship. Due to Marianne's love for Alexander she could never bring herself to leave him up until he had begun Physically and sexually assaulting her. Such attacks were traumatic and over time even she couldn't stop herself from retaliating against him in her own self defense. Being she was skilled in the dark arts she cast a curse on Alexander that would forever make him immortal, forever force him to live with the madness that had already taken hold of his mind. The hex was successful but it seemed to also make the mans madness far worse then it was before. Despite her attempts at warding the man off; she was assaulted once again which resulted in Vaana later on

Vaana also had a sister by the name of Melinka who was seven years old at the time. Melinka was there to witness her mothers death just weeks after giving birth to Vaana. Marianne had taken her own life, hanging herself from the second floor balcony of their home. This caused Melinka much grief but her father would have showed no sympathy. Taking his two children, he brought them to the wilderness where he would teach them both to 'live' and 'survive' his way. Melinka would learn to take care of Vaana and eventually learn to protect and take care of herself. Looking after her sister until she was of age to begin learning herself.

Living in the Serbian Wilderness for years, Vaana learned many things from her father and her sister. Along side her 'Pack' she would often hunt and kill creatures and even humans to satisfy her growing blood-lust. Unfortunately for them Alexander was never completely satisfied and would often beat them both for little mistakes, trying to push them to be more and more like him. Ruthless and uncaring, Melinka eventually snapped and challenged her father only to keep him down long enough so that she and her sister could eventually escape. Leaving they're father behind the two would develop a partnership and swear to always protect each-other no matter what. Melinka called herself the 'Alpha' of their two girl pack and promised to always look over Vaana so long as she did what she was told and for years the two worked side by side. Using the training of their father and their teachers to eventually become Mercenaries and Assassin's.

The two were present during histories many phases most notably World War II where Melinka and Vaana served as Partisan Snipers during the Battle of Stalingard in defense of the Russian Volga. They would soon after act as Soviet Spies, tasked with relaying information back to the Soviet Union from the country they had infiltrated, America. Though despite their contributions the cold war was lost and eventually the Union collapsed leaving them both without any real purpose. They then became hired guns who would kill, destroy and even protect for the right price. For a few years they served under their own banner before Vaana began getting cold feet; and when finally given the opportunity she simply left..to begin a new more peaceful life in her new home in the US.

Vaana took residence in Millennium City's west-side where she lived in poverty despite having so much money from her years of work as a mercenary. Though things were different and times were tough she wanted to truly know what it felt like to live among normal people. She wanted what every other person wanted and that was the American Dream. Drive nice cars, meet beautiful women and party until the sun came up but her experiences with Poverty did nothing more then fill her with hate. She watched the Gangs and Mafia Families rob the innocent, watched as Police stood by and did nothing as the hard working people of the city were treated unfairly despite how much effort they put into correcting their lives. Vaana eventually grew fed up and decided that if the police weren't going to do anything about it then she was going to take matters into her own hands. Digging up all her mercenary equipment she went out to begin hunting down these Mobsters, these gang members. Killing, murdering and eventually torturing them until she got what she wanted, the higher ups. Using her skills, her years of experience she had began hunting her way up the ladder, starting from pawn and eventually slaying the kings. Taking the money they had, she began distributing it among the people in need. People who needed food, water, clothes and shelter.

She donated to these people but despite her good intention was apprehended and incarcerated; receiving the death sentence. Though spending two years in the can and surviving twelve attempts in the electric chair eventually it became clear that Vaana wasn't going to die, at least not easily. UNTIL made a deal with her, that saw her released and her services at their disposal for a time. Despite the mistakes she had made, the crimes she had committed UNTIL and PRIMUS found use for her both on and off the field. Where she would partake in numerous missions all over the globe as well as help train solders and new recruits. It was during this time that she met Stacy Surhoff the niece to the MCPD's Cheif Surhoff. At first Stacy saw Vaana as a rival before actually training alongside her, learning many of Vaana's techniques and even some of her personal experiences.

The two became best friends despite having parted ways they speak frequently and at times reunite to work together on certain missions. It was even thanks to her that Vaana had seen an early release from her obligations to UNTIL, being absolved of her crimes, a clean slate.

After leaving UNTIL, Vaana used what money she had left over to buy herself a new home, this time in the heart of Millennium city in the downtown district. Despite having a nice home and all the money she had ever wanted, this was the point in Vaana's life where she had literally shut down and spiraled into a depression. Alone, confused and lost in a world completely different from the one she knew; there was but little purpose she could find. She often tried keeping herself busy by preforming odd jobs, even ones that didn't pay much like construction work before eventually becoming a personal trainer in Carl's Gym where she'd train clients and help get them into shape by working them out. At first it started with the basics, then weights and then finally she became a full fledged trainer; even helping teach clients boxing which would usher in her obsession with fitness Despite having found what she considered to be a purpose, she still felt empty inside, alone. It was during her time in the gym that she once again reunited with Stacy Surhoff whom had then again become a client of Vaana's, doing her best to learn from the woman who had helped her make it into UNTIL.

The two rekindled their friendship and ultimately became best friends once again, though as feelings had begun to develop between the two; Vaana decided it was time to break off and quit her job at Carl's gym to instead pursue another career path. It was also during this in between where Vaana had met a kind woman named Angela Light whom she had gotten involved with. When Vaana found out she was a hero, she herself became a little frightened, knowing she herself had quite the negative background she waited until the ideal time to explain herself to Angela whom although disappointed was more than understanding and accepted Vaana anyway. Vaana had long since left her criminal life behind and vowed to never return to those ways again; deciding for a time to not get involved in anything really. She stood home, frequented clubs and bars while Angela was away, finding their relationship under a lot of strain due to the nature of Angela's work she decided to make even more of an effort.

She dug up all her old gear, put it together, donned her old nickname bogatstvo (Fortune) before once again registering with UNTIL, only this time to become a hero herself and help fight the war Angela had already gotten herself involved in.

It was soon after, she joined the Eternals whom despite her background gave her a chance, one she won't ever forget.

She truly is, Fortunate.
