Profile
Biography
“ | Forged in the heart of Mexico, Reyna dominates single combat, popping off with each kill she scores. Her capability is only limited by her raw skill, making her highly dependent on performance.

Zyanya Mondragón is a Radiant from Mexico with the power to absorb life energy from the souls of people that she kills. After being affected by a disastrous event involving machines, Mondragón has a strong dislike for technology and humanity, believing herself and her fellow Radiants to be the true future for Earth. Before her time as a VALORANT Protocol agent, she set up a sanctuary to help people escape from Kingdom and heal, establishing a community there and becoming their protector and avenger.
None of them however hold the same place in her heart as her little sister, Lucia, someone who Mondragón has been close to losing. After her eventual recruitment into VALORANT as its eleventh recruit, "Reyna", she was able to work with some of the organization's scientists to set up a procedure that allowed her to transfer some of the life energy she collects into Lucia, keeping her alive - at least for now. With the process remaining inefficient and Lucia's fate still uncertain, Reyna continues to hunt down any enemies she finds in her way, gaining more life energy with every kill and more time bought for her sister. Reyna's aggressive, bitter nature however draws concern from some of her fellow agents, and some fear what she could end up becoming should she be unable to save Lucia...
ZYANYA MONDRAGÓN: Early Life
- Mondragón sets up a sanctuary to help people escape from Kingdom activities in the area.[1]
- Mondragón is affected by a disastrous event involving machines, setting her on her path of hatred towards technology.[2]
REYNA: VALORANT agent
- Recruited as its eleventh agent.
- Reyna works with Viper to find a solution for keeping Lucia, Reyna's little sister, alive.[3]
- The agents are able to set up equipment that allows Reyna to transfer life energy she gains from collecting souls into Lucia. However, this initial process is inefficient as much of the life energy gets lost during transfer.
Personality
“ |
Reyna takes what she wants when she wants it, no matter who is standing in her way. Savage and almost animalistic, she is not one to hesitate when it comes to eliminating her enemies and getting blood on her hands. She has a strong dislike for technology and thrives on the enemy's misery, and loves to compete with fellow Radiants to see who is the most powerful.
She seems to have a cynical view towards the rest of the world due to the pain that she has experienced in order to survive. However, she acknowledges that her Earth is still her home, and she resolves to defend it even if it means spilling more blood.
Appearance
Reyna is often seen with the edges of her long hair dyed purple. Her sharp purple eyes make her menacing to look at, almost giving her the impression of a beast. She is relatively exposed, wearing a purple skin-tight suit that only has one arm covered with the other exposed. Her exposed arm reveals a set of unique tattoos that glows whenever she activates her radiant powers. She wears a pair of purple boots with plating that covers the entirety of her legs, save for her right thigh which is left exposed.
A bright purple glow is always seen on her chest where her heart is located. When she activates her Empress state, her entire body turns into a shade of dark purple, with her eyes, hands, and heart glowing brightest with an amethyst shade.
