Sister Dierdre

Sister Dierdre is a boss from Gravity Star, the pilot of the Swarmer and a former Sister of the Redwood Sisters of the Sister Andrea Church of Gaia. She is an elf from the planet Sequoia best known for switching sides both to and away from Octus.
== Personality ==
Not much is known about Dierdre's personality, but it is known she is opportunistic, traveling with whoever (or whatever) will allow her the most opportunities for advancement.
== History ==
=== The Martyrian Army ===
At some point, Dierdre had seen the recruiting efforts Octus had made to join the newest iteration of the Martyrian Army, and left the Sisterhood, seeking more opportunities and being offered things that the Sisterhood would never give her. What those things were are unknown. She was put amidst the high council, being specially given the Swarmer.
=== Gravity Star Campaign ===
Dierdre was sent back to her home planet of Sequoia to use her drones to retrieve a collection of prayer seeds for Octus and the Martyrians to weaponize. When she crashlanded, she was found by Sister Lenna, who quickly alerted the other Sisters and the Gravity Star members who happened to be visiting. The team soon gave chase, finding her in the middle of the forest. After a short scuffle, they were able to convince Dierdre to stand down and come back to the right side of the fighting. She shut down her mech and returned to the Church, wanting to atone for her heretical actions. She stayed there with Sister Andrea for the rest of the campaigns events, while Sister Elina left to travel with the team and aid them on their journey.
== Relationships ==
=== Sister Elina and Sister Lenna ===
Dierdre is on good terms with Elina and Lenna, as they see that she can repent for her heresy, and are glad to have their sister back.
=== Sister Andrea ===
Andrea is not happy with Dierdre at all, not only for defecting from the Sisterhood, but returning to them piloting a machine, which she hates due to the church's emphasis on nature, and stealing their ritual prayer seeds. Dierdre wishes to repent, but Andrea is going to make sure she learns her lesson the hard way.
== Notable Moments ==
* Defecting from her church, albeit temporarily
* Attacking the party as the Swarmer
* Coming back to the side of good
== Design Notes ==
The notes provided by FennekinGalaxy in the original captioned portrait for Dierdre's mech, the Swarmer, are as follows:
* Piloted by Sister Dierdre (formerly [REDACTED])
* Creates and launches multipurpose drones ("bees") from ports on the backs of its forearms (not pictured)
* Spear can shoot laser beams for increased ranged coverage
* Wings are purely cosmetic
== Trivia ==
* Sister Dierdre was originally going to return in the Swarmer to help fight off the Centurion alongside the Wayfinders and the Titan, but all of these returns were forgotten last-minute.
* Dierdre's name means "sorrowful" and "broken-hearted", which can refer to the emotions felt by her Sisters when she left and betrayed them.
