Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In the Myst stories, she is the wife of Aitrus and was the first human to descend to the D'ni city proper. As many D'ni were reluctant about strangers, she was met with skepticism, but was later accepted into the D'ni society, and eventually gained legal status as a D'ni (cf. Myst: The Book of Ti'ana).

Ti'ana is also the mother of Gehn and grandmother of Atrus. She taught and raised Atrus throughout most of his childhood, and later protected him from his father Gehn, as told in Myst: The Book of Atrus. Ti'ana dies on Myst Island and is buried there.

The name Ti'ana meant "story-teller", and is given to her by Aitrus after she tells him of human superstition of a subterranean hell — something Aitrus as an inhabitant of a subterranean Cavern finds very amusing.
