===Journey to the Last City===
{{Quote|My second death was terrifying. But I got back up, and the night sky sparkled overhead, and the man that killed me stared aghast, and I laughed. Immortal! Me! I could do anything!|Wei Ning, describing her first death after being resurrected}}
Wei Ning was resurrected by her [[Ghost]] in the middle of a desert, far from any civilization. Her Ghost crafted her basic armor and informed her of the existence of the [[Last City]], which was thousands of miles away. During her journey, Wei Ning encountered bandits armed with guns. With no weapons to defend herself, she was terrified and quickly cut down. However, her Ghost quickly resurrected her, and Wei Ning was elated to realize she was immortal and began laughing. With her killers now scared of her and knowing her own body could not be broken, Wei Ning threw herself at her attackers and beat them to death.<ref name="SotTS">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard [[Shard of the Traveler (Striker)]]''</ref>

{{Quote|Our first meeting, in the Tower saloon. Your laugh made the glasses clatter. You bought three rounds for the entire room. Pahanin introduced us. You sat me down next to you and plied me with questions about Stormtrances. All things that on any other night would have annoyed me. But that night—because it was you—I knew then and there that I never wanted to be without you.|Eriana-3, describing her first meeting with Wei Ning}}

After reaching the Last City, Wei Ning became one of the preeminent [[Striker]]s of the [[Titan (class)|Titan]]s. She taught her fellow Titans that their body was their greatest weapon, and to always charge headfirst into danger in order to achieve victory.<ref name="SotTS"/> At some point, Wei Ning lit the Flame Victorious in Firebreak Plaza, and its eternal flame became a symbol of the [[Firebreak Order]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/5/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Fire Victorious Shell]]''</ref> Wei Ning also became an acquainted with the Lightbearer known as [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]], who had to pay her drinking tab several times.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Contact]] dialogue''</ref>
While drinking at the [[Tower]]'s saloon, Wei Ning was introduced to the [[Warlock]] [[Eriana-3]] by her friend [[Pahanin]]. The Titan quickly began plying Eriana-3 with questions about [[Stormtrance]]s, and the two soon began a relationship.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Eriana's Vengeance]]''</ref>

During the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] on [[Venus]], Wei Ning was paired with [[Eris Morn]] to hunt seven of the wish-granting creatures. Discovering one of their targets within the jungles, Wei Ning attacked it and spent nearly a full day beating the [[Ahamkara]] into the ground. However, she formulated a plan to draw the other six Ahamkara in by wishing that the fight would go on forever, causing her foe to not die and gain in strength instead. She eventually admitted her wish to Eris, who declared Wei Ning to be a psychopath, but she quickly reassured the Hunter to trust her. Eventually the other six Ahamkara arrived, drawn by the feast of power being generated by the Titan's wish. With their foes drawn in, Wei Ning ended her wish making and joined Eris in killing all seven of their targets. Once the battle was over Wei Ning heard whispering and believed it to be Eris, but the Hunter then asked her about it as well.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Vest_of_the_Great_Hunt|Vest of the Great Hunt]]''</ref>
 
Wei Ning and [[Ikora Rey]] would later fight [[Azirim]]. However, Ikora Rey began to form a wish, creating four figures brought back from the dead. Ikora hurriedly destroyed them as they made a desperate grap for her Ghost, and Wei Ning punched her in the head to prevent her from completing the wish and annihilating herself.<ref>'''[[The Hidden Dossier]]''', ''pg [[The Hidden Dossier#((06))|6]]''</ref>


After defeating other Guardians in the [[Crucible]] using only her fists, Wei Ning overheard them making derogatory comments about her. Angered, she found a mountain and began to punch it as her [[Ghost]] tried to calm her. Wei Ning declared that one day she was sure the other Guardians would find themselves without all of their high-tech ships, weapons, and other devices and would wish that they had listened to her about simply punching things, as the strength of ones hands would never fail them. Her Ghost noted that Eriana would be upset to hear her dismissing machines, and suggested that Eriana would likely ask if Wei Ning could use her hands to create a weapon just as powerful as them. Inspired by her Ghost's idea, Wei Ning crafted the [[Fighting Lion]].<ref name="FL">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Fighting Lion]]''</ref>

===The Great Disaster===
After the [[Consensus]] decided to [[The Great Disaster|reclaim]] the [[Moon]] from the forces of Darkness, Wei Ning was one of thousands of Guardians who assaulted the [[Hive]] fortresses of the Moon. The battle quickly turned against the Guardians, as thousands of [[Knight]]s assailed them. Wei Ning was confronted by the Hive God-[[Prince]] [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], who commanded the Hive in the solar system. Wei Ning challenged the Prince and fell in battle, impaled upon Crota's [[Cleaver#Sword_of_Crota|blade]].<ref name="GFW2"/> The Hive took her [[Wei Ning's Cong|cong]] as a prize after her death.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description, [[Wei Ning's Cong]]''</ref>
