An unnamed woman was the ancestor of Amaya Jiwe, Esi, Kuasa and Mari.
Biography
When Amaya drank tea made from a special root from her village, she had a vision of one of her ancestors who explained why the Anansi Totem's power increasing; a threat more powerful than anything she'd previously encountered was coming, and that she should trust the totem rather than resist its increased power.[1]
When Amaya and Zari drank tea made from a special root from her village, Amaya and Zari walk through the dreamscape, and Amaya says that she can feel her Totem but it's different. Zari's Totem glows, and the woman appears. She says that the longer the Dahrks have the Totem, the more it's corrupted. The Woman tells Amaya that she must get Kuasa back, and soon Amaya will need her. The first Totem bearers imprisoned a great evil, Mallus. He can't enter the real world, but time doesn't exist in the timescape. The more time is broken, the closer Mallus comes to breaking free. If the Legends don't stop the villains from creating Anachronisms, Mallus will go free. She realizes that Nora has claimed the Totem's power and disappears.[2]
