Chana was born on [[Ashyn]], and left it for [[Roshar]] when the planet was razed by human [[Surgebinding]], making her likely of similar age to the other [[Herald]]s.{{book ref|sa3|111}}{{book ref|sa3|113}}{{wob ref|11945}} Vorin artwork tends to present her as a young woman.{{file ref|Chanarach.jpg|Chanarach chapter capstone}} Vorin depictions also show her wearing blue armor and holding a straight sword with a bifurcated blade. Chana's [[safehand]] is not covered in these depictions, while other female Heralds do have their safehand covered.{{file ref|Chanarach_Endsheet.png|Official rendition of Chanarach}}{{file ref|Pailiah_Endsheet.png|Official rendition of Pailiah}}{{file ref|Shalash_Endsheet.jpg|Official rendition of Shalash}}{{file ref|Vedel Endpage.jpg|Official rendition of Vedel}}

She would have lived in [[Shinovar]] for a period, before humanity began to expand outward, inciting a war between the humans and the [[singers]].{{book ref|sa3|38}}
When humans and singers went to war, she and nine other people were made Heralds by [[Honor]], forming 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. This cycle went on for thousands of years, gradually wearing on her sanity, along with that of all the other Heralds.{{book ref|sa3|38}}

In [[Vorinism]], Chanarach is known under the symmetrical name '''Chanaranach''', though the diminutive Chana is also used.{{book ref|sa2|77}}{{book ref|sa2|59}} '''Chan-a-rach''' is a far rarer spelling, only seen used in a song.{{book ref|sa2|59}} She is associated with the number 3 (chach), the [[Ten Essences|Essence]] Spark, and the divine attributes of Brave and Obedient. Her body focus is the soul.{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Phrases such as "Chana knows..." and "Chana help (somebody)" are common, and typically related to threat or protectiveness.{{book ref|sa2|59}}{{book ref|sa2|75}} The name [[Chanada]] is likely derived from Chana.{{book ref|sa3|4}} And the name [[Chanasha]] definitely is.{{book ref|sa4|4}}
As with the other Heralds, there is a temple to her in every modern city.{{map ref|Thaylen City}}{{map ref|Kholinar}} This tradition appears to go back to the [[Desolation]]s, as there was once a temple of Chanaranach in [[Stormseat]].{{book ref|sa2|77}}
She is thought of as the Herald of the Common Man.{{book ref|sa4|4}} and is believed to be "fine and reputable".{{book ref|sa4|4}}
