Though Chana is likely of similar age to other [[Herald]]s, Vorin artwork tends to present her as a young woman.{{file ref|Chanarach.jpg|Chanarach chapter capstone}} She was born on [[Ashyn]], and left it for [[Roshar]] when the planet was razed by human Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|113}}{{wob ref|11945}}

She would have lived in Shinovar for a period, before humanity began to expand outward, inciting a war between the humans and the [[Singers]]. ▼
 
When humans and singers went to war, she and nine other people were made Heralds by [[Honor]] and [[Ishar]], the formation of the [[Oathpact]]. Following every [[Desolation]], she would travel to [[Braize]] and be tortured there until either she or one of the other Heralds broke, sending them back to Roshar and starting a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa3|38}} This cycle went on for thousands of years, gradually wearing on her sanity, along with that of all the other Heralds.{{cite}}▼
 
At [[Aharietiam]], the Last Desolation, Chanarach, like the rest, abandoned the [[Oathpact]], leaving her [[Honorblade]] at the location of the final battle and departing for parts unknown.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} What happened to her afterwards is unknown, though she has been seen alive.{{wob ref|9123}}▼
