(1)The word ti'ana means "story-teller" in the D'ni language.

(2)The name given to the surface dweller, Anna, by Aitrus after she had taught him the mythology of the surface dwellers. (BoT 185) As a young woman, Anna found the remains of a D'ni tunnel and followed it until she was captured by maintainers. She was imprisoned in D'ni and learned to speak their language while members of the Guild of Linguists tried to learn hers. She married a D'ni man named Aitrus, had a son named Gehn, and was eventually granted D'ni citizenship. (BoT 238)

She survived the destruction of D'ni largely thanks to the self-sacrifice, hard work, and brilliant thinking of her husband. She took their son to the surface of Earth, caring for him until he ran away at age 14. Later she raised her grandson, Atrus, until his father claimed him when the boy was 14. She followed them down into D'ni, and apparently lived there hidden from both for 3 1/2 years, until she had to intervene in her grandson's behalf. She worked with Catherine (Katran) to imprison her insane son in Riven, and took up dwelling with her grandson and Catherine in the Age of Myst, which she and Catherine had written.
