Deidre Myrick

Deidre was born and raised by her mother Darlene Dodge, a scientist in StrangerVille. The two later moved to Del Sol Valley when Darlene's career hit a high. Deidre was also raised by Darlene's good friend Gina Ginter.
== Upbringing ==
Deidre took an interest in music and was very self-assured as a child. Her father Ricky moved in when she grew older and remarried her mother, so Deidre's surname changed from Dodge to Parikh.
== Becoming a Myrick ==
Ricky was pleased to have someone continue the Parikh bloodline, but Deidre then married Dylan Myrick and changed her surname again. Therefore, Ricky and Darlene decided to have another child named Elias Parikh. Deidre became a barista. Ricky told her about his tragic life of recent, in which his wife Kate died in a fire after their daughter Shirley was taken into social care, before also dying tragically. Deidre was saddened when Gina died of old age and vowed to keep her in her heart forever.
== Deidre's Affair ==
Around the time Dylan's mother Alissa-May moved in, Deidre had an affair with Van Bingham which was revealed to all. Dylan forgave Deidre but Alissa-May hated her. She later gave birth to Charles Myrick and there was suspicion over his parentage, but he was later confirmed as Dylan's child. Ricky and Darlene had left to go travelling and died of old age, leaving Deidre grief-stricken and lonely. She isolated herself and slept with Van once again, which Dylan's sister Madeline revealed. After getting her life back together and begging Dylan for forgiveness, the two rekindled their relationship and Dylan's family were kicked out.
== Sorting Out Charles' Mess ==
Several years later, Charles returned from Britechester University with new girlfriend Julia Wright, which Deidre was more than pleased about. However, Deidre was shocked to learn Charles had gotten another girl pregnant months earlier called Becca Clarke. Deidre made the bold judgement to invite Becca to stay so that she could birth Deidre's grandchild in her home. Deidre tried to remain civil but took a great disliking to Becca for her selfish nature. Deidre reminded herself of Alissa-May, who had now died of old age, and tried not to interfere in her son's life too much. Deidre was shocked when Becca gave birth to twins Diane and Kaiden, who she helped to raise. Deidre struggled to accept the truth that Dylan was nearing the end of his life.
== Deidre's Demise ==
Deidre spent a lot of time with Dylan and pronounced her undying love for him. She urged Becca to leave but she insisted she was saving money to move out with the Myrick nanny Dennis Seymour. Deidre was thrilled when Charles and Julia got married. Unexpectedly, Deidre collapsed and died of old age in the bathroom, while at the same time Becca perished in an erupting fire. Deidre's ashes were kept in the household inventory and her legacy lived on.
