Radha is the great-granddaughter of the Keldon warlord Astor and the first-discovered new breed of potential Planeswalkers by Teferi. As such, Radha shared a strange connection with the time rift hovering over Skyshroud.[1] Due to her role during the Time Spiral crisis, Radha's spark has never ignited.
History
Radha was always a fiercely independent elf, disputing and even ridiculing Freyalise's xenophobic stance for her people. She aided the planeswalker Teferi during his attempts to save Dominaria from the time rifts, and eventually abandoned her home and drove the Gathans from Keld.
During the events of Future Sight, Radha was approached by planeswalker Jeska, who asked her for help with closing the time rifts. Radha refused, and the two barbarian women fought. Jeska won by instinctive use of her latent powers of Phage. Radha was tethered and taken by Jeska to Zhalfir, where the planeswalker used her to channel the mana to the rift, closing it. Radha was greatly weakened by this act. Jeska then took her to Yavimaya to close another rift. Radha met Multani, who created a bond between her and Yavimaya, allowing her to use green mana again and filling the vacancy in Radha's soul created by the destruction of Skyshroud. Jeska then used Radha again to close the rift in Yavimaya. During the Zhalfirin rift closing, Radha and Jeska's minds merged, allowing the two women to experience the lives of each other. Radha's temper was changed by dealing with Jeska and participarting in world-scale events. On Madara, Jeska was taken by Leshrac, who sent his shadow assassin Dinne il-Vec to deal with the mortals (Radha, Venser, Jhoira and Teferi). Radha fought the shadow warrior and by using newly reestablished green mana abilities, she anchored him in the physical world by a green healing spell, then burned him to ash with her Keldon magic. After Leshrac was defeated and Madaran rift closed by Nicol Bolas, the party went to Otaria to close the last rift. Radha and Venser willingly accompanied Jeska to the heart of the rift and lent their powers to the planeswalker. Jeska's final act closed the Otarian rift, as well as all others.
Radha returned to her camp afterwards. Her hotheadedness, cruelty and bloodthirst was changed by her recent experiences, and she became more rational and a bit more caring being. With Skive and Dassene as her lieutenants, she became the leader of the joint new nation of Keldon elves and humans who were attempting to restore Keld to its former glory. However, repeatedly closing the time rifts with Jeska permanently extinguished her planeswalker's spark, thus she will never be able to ascend.
Sixty years after the Mending, Radha walks a precarious path to restore the original character of Keld, while existing in a time of relative peace.[2]
