Rebirth
With the power of the Totality, Perpetua splintered the soul of Chay-ara causing her to reincarnate as both Kendra Saunders on Earth after the death of Shiera Hall and as Shayera Hol of Thanagar. This was because she was deemed a threat and thus separating her from parts of herself would prevent her from being a threat to Perpetua. (Justice League v4 #16)
Whilst going through his past incarnations, Carter Hall ended up on Thanagar where he was confronted by his older reincarnation of Katar Hol where the two battled until he managed to convince him of his mission. It was then that the Thanagarian Wingmen arrived with Shayera present who believed Carter was a criminal from Downside with Katar kicking him over the edge. They returned back to patrol whilst Carter gathered a relic and returned back to the modern day on Earth. (Hawkman v5 #4)
After the destruction of Thanagar by Despero, the Thanagarian people were fractured and numbering only in the thousands thus making them weak. During this time, Shayera was crowned empress of her people and desperately sought a means of restoring their strength. She came upon a solution in the wake of the crisis that broke the Source Wall where she used the power of the Absorbascon with that of the powerful mind of the Martian Keep to change reality according to her desires. With this power, she restored the Thanagarian empire based on Thanagar Prime but kept the circumstances a secret. Members of the Justice League came to Thanagar Prime to search for clues regarding the mysterious new powers emerging in the universe where they uncovered Empress Shayera's plot. She attempted to stop them until she could cause the thought manifestations from the Absorbascon to become more permanent. However, this was stopped when the Martian Keep died and she faced arrest for her actions as she showed guilt over her actions as she only wanted to save her people. At that point, the other members of the League arrived on Thanagar through the aid of Starman Will Payton who was host to the power of the Totality. With it, he merged the missing piece of Shiera Hall's soul within Shayera back to Kendra's body thus restoring her self completely. As a result, Shayera was not free from the destiny of Shiera Hall and her soul was truly her own. Rather than face arrest, she was allowed to remain free and continue to be a leader to her people as she was needed to help the Thanagarians to rebuild which she vowed to do without using the Absorbascon again. (Justice League v4 #16)
