A warrior who can make any weapon out of light, losing her memory in pieces across seven thousand years.
Thena is a fierce warrior who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy. She suffers from Mahd Wy’ry, which the film treats as the accumulated weight of too many lifetimes of memory, and Gilgamesh becomes her guardian over the centuries because of it.
Angelina Jolie plays the fighting as beautiful and the illness as frightening, and the film is unusual in this catalogue for letting a character be genuinely unwell without curing her by the end.

The Eternals do not age and their memories do not stop. The condition is what the film uses to ask whether living forever is a gift, and it is the one question Eternals answers clearly.
