### Devi's Distraction

At first, Devi wasn't too sure how she felt being stuck on an ice planet, but she quickly realized this was a scientist dream. She studied evolutionary trees, and this place was ripe for study. It doesn't make her the most popular girl - no one wants to hang out with her while she dissecting things on the beach after all - so she was surprised when N'dek comes to her asking for help.

Devi agreed to help him make a prosthetic for his leg, in exchange for a place to keep the leathers with her findings on them.

Around this time the planning of much talked about games began. This mades it easy for Devi to get the materials needed to create a prototype prosthetic secretly as everyone was distracted. The games hadn't completely alleviated the tension though. During an argument with A'tam, Bridget suggested that she might resonate to N'dek.

That night N'dek and Devi met up and tested out the prosthetic. He shared he thought he would resonate soon. They also agreed that she will teach him about human women and he would teach her about local fauna. The next day teams were chosen. S'bren, Devi, N'dek and Bridget all ended up on a team together, each having chosen the next one in line. Their team won the first game and during the celebration S'bren promised to show Devi the location of the vertebrae he made a plate out of, making N'dek jealous.

Devi and N'dek met again that night. N'dek shared he thought he might resonate to Bridget. They practiced kissing. The next morning S'bren and Devi head out, but he wasn't able to find the cave with the bones in it. Devi let S'bren know she wasn't interested in a relationship with him. Later that day there was a wrestling match, N'dek and A'tam fought, N'dek won.

Devi and N'dek spent the next night together. The following day, when Devi went to get her things before she stayed with N'dek again, she ran into Bridget crying. Bridget revealed that she doesn't hate A'tam, she only wanted people to think she was the problem. In reality, it was a poor sexual experience that she was afraid will repeat that drove her away from him. Now A'tam had left camp even though Old Grandfather, the sky-claw, was still around.

The next day both Devi and Sam were injured in the three legged race, causing Sam to panic. That night N'dek was increasingly sure he was going to resonate soon. The next morning S'bren told Devi he has remembered the location of the cave. They headed there only to discover it wasn't the right cave, that this cave was the home of a tidewater Kaari. The two of them get trapped inside.

Later, N'dek and others found the cave and attacked the kaari. Devi was saved, and on the beach, they resonated to each other.

At the news of yet another large creature lingering around the beach, R'jaal decided the games needed to end. A'tam has also returned to camp.

A month later N'dek and Devi are living happy in a new hut closest to the beach.

### Later History

In the events of Steph's Outcast, Devi and N'dek elect to stay in Icehome Village instead of returning to Croatoan.

During the time jump between Steph's Outcast and Sam's Secret, Devi gave birth to N'rav.

In R'jaal's Resonance, she helped Rosalind come to terms with being a clone. The two of them, along with Hannah, work on making books.
