So at first I thought Awoken was just a cool and mysterious name, but now I think it’s much more than that. This could tie into my earlier post.
I was flipping through the grimoire and this line caught my attention
Enemies – Fallen – Ghost Fragment: Fallen 4
“YOU ARE AN EMPTY THING WITH TWO DEAD SOULS.”
Wolf Kell to Queen Mara Sov, at the battle of Ceres, Asteroid Belt.
Weird right so I did some digging to see if there was anything else that mentioned anything similar.
Allies – The Queen - The Aftermath
It began as soon as they hit the ring plane, ringing in the old glimmer of his long-buried self. Before she showed him who he was—in the before and the after.
Uldren Sov, Saturn’s rings
So The Awoken could get their name from the awakening of their other half, the memories of an ancient life. This may explain how The Queen can be both young and beautiful while also having an ageless wisdom and power. Remember The Awoken are not guardians they weren’t raised from the dead with a fractured memory, or like the Exo wiped of all golden age memories. They were created during the collapse and are more than just blue humans with weird eyes.
Who knows maybe Bungie will go crazy and give us some background for our characters in Destiny 2 and a damn conversation wheel.

The Awoken were humans that were trying to escape during the collapse, the got caught in the explosion the rasputian set of to stop, the traveler from leaving. They were exposed to the radation from rasputians attack and space radiation and became the Awoken.
