==History==
==Description==
Shanna is descended from the famous Captain [[Sisay]] and wields her renowned ancestor's sword. She is thrilled to be able to serve on the [[Weatherlight crew|''Weatherlight'']] under [[Jhoira]]'s command, but she also thinks "Captain Shanna" has a nice ring to it. If [[Jhoira]] should ever decide to retire and focus all her attention on [[Shiv|Shivaa]] affairs, Shanna would be happy to take her place.<ref name="Dominaria art book">[[James Wyatt]] (2018), ''[[The Art of Magic: The Gathering - Dominaria]]''.
