Wrenn is a dryad planeswalker whose spark ignited after the Great Mending, although we don’t know her home plane. While on her home plane, a forest fire threatened to engulf her and her sisters, along with the entire forest in which they lived. Wrenn made the ultimate sacrifice and used her magic to trap the forest fire within herself, which ignited her spark. In addition to her alignment to green mana, the fire that now burns inside her allows her access to red mana and some measure of pyromancy.
Dryads, by their nature, must be symbiotically bound to a tree, or else they die. Wrenn must also be bound to a tree; however, she can only bind to trees that are strong enough to also contain the raging fire within her. When her spark ignited, Wrenn discovered her first host, which she rightfully named “One,” on her homeworld.
Normally, organic matter cannot travel across the Blind Eternities. However, Wrenn can only travel if she is bound to a tree, and the bond she shares with the tree allows her to planeswalk with it. While Wrenn’s fire grants her powerful pyromancy abilities, it is very taxing on the tree she bonds to. Therefore, most trees she bonds with cannot survive the fire for long.
While most Dryads are bound to the same tree for their entire lifetime, Wrenn must switch from tree to tree, or else the tree will die, along with her. When a tree cannot withstand any more of the fire within Wrenn, she brings it wherever it wishes and allows it to take root there, to live out the rest of its days as a simple tree. Only then does Wrenn find a new tree to bond with and repeat the cycle.
When we were first introduced to Wrenn in Modern Horizons, she was bonded to Six, a mighty tree from the forest of Kessig on Innistrad. When Six was ready to settle down, she replanted him in Kessig and looked for her next host. Wrenn discovered her new host, which was only a sapling, when she was found by Teferi, who had been looking for a “white witch” that was said to be in the Kessig forest.
During their encounter, they were attacked by an evil creature, and, in his attempt to protect them, Teferi miscast a time spell, trapping Wrenn and himself in a time loop. Identifying the issue, Wrenn taught Teferi how to break up a spell and release it harmlessly into mana. Using what he had learned, he was able to identify where his spell went wrong and pull it apart until the time loop ended.
However, Teferi’s spell had another unforeseen consequence. The sapling Wrenn discovered as a host had grown into a full tree due to the magic of the time spell. She was able to bond with the tree, which became Seven. Showing her thanks to Teferi, Wrenn promised him that someday she would help him to undo Zhalfir’s phasing. With that, she planeswalked away from Innistrad to show Seven the multiverse.
Teferi would find Wrenn later on the plane of Cridhe, where he would recruit her to help fight the Phyrexians. She would journey with him to Dominaria, where she helped Nissa protect Urza’s Tower and the Temporal Anchor from Phyrexians while Teferi traveled back in time to the Brothers’ War. Once the Phyrexians were defeated on Dominaria, she attempted to rescue Teferi, who had been trapped inside the Stasis Coffin, along with Jodah and Saheeli Rai.
When the planeswalkers returned after being defeated on New Phyrexia, Chandra was determined to return to New Phyrexia to help the Mirrans. Wrenn and Seven were the only ones to join her. Wrenn told Chandra that she had a plan to merge with the Invasion Tree and attempt to rescue Teferi.
Once they landed on New Phyrexia, Wrenn, Seven, and Chandra met up with Urabrask and Koth, who were able to lead them to Realmbreaker along with the remaining Mirrans. Before they could get there, they were intercepted by Nissa, who had been compleated by the Phyrexians. In a fierce battle, Nissa was able to destroy Seven, leaving Wrenn without a host.
The remaining Mirrans picked up what remained of Wrenn and valiantly carried her the rest of the way to Realmbreaker, fighting through many Phyrexians and losing many Mirrans in the process. They finally got her to the Invasion Tree, Realmbreaker, where she immediately bonded with it. Naming the tree “Eight,” Wrenn and Eight reached through the Blind Eternities and found Teferi and Zhalfir, and swapped New Phyrexia with Zhalfir, phasing New Phyrexia out of existence.
While her plan succeeded, the toll from the act was too much for her, and the fire within consumed and killed her. Her valiant sacrifice was just enough to save the multiverse from the invading Phyrexians, as well as fulfill her promise to Teferi of returning Zhalfir to him. All that remained of Wrenn was a single acorn, which Teferi planted on his plane of Zhalfir.
