Before heading to Tural, she spent some time exploring her homeland. She couldn't properly enjoy her time back in the Steppe the first time around, so she spent weeks travelling between the tribes and living in her mother's culture. She had missed her home, but the Scions were home now.

she smiles again for the first time in years. She's never truly "fixed" but better enough to move forward and begin to fix her broken relationships with the Scions and others.
She 'rises' again to become the hero the world deserved, rather than the hero she was before.

"Mercy, please!"
"You know, I quite like the sound of that."
When she returned to the Scions post-HW, hair lighter and Voidsent energy surrounding her, she had left the name Zaya Kha behind. She was now Mercy, and could not wait to hear that word uttered as her enemies' last breaths.

Due to her black magic, she shares an affinity with the Void. During Endwalker, she used a Voidsent's power multiple times and took on a void-touched appearance, gaining its abilities, claws, wings, talons and more temporarily. She still retains some of this to this day (scales, eyes).
