Deyanira

*"I know I'm a disappointment, but you're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're **better** than you are! Sure, they're weak and they cheat and steal and... destroy and disappoint. But they also give and... create, and they sing and dance and love! And above all, they never give up! But you do."*

## Professional Status

### Occupation(s)

God's Scribe (Formerly)

**Deyanira** is the mother of Keres Almyra and Cain's wife. She is a former angel, and the former **Scribe of God** before her curruption via Lucifer.

## Appearance

Deyanira's exposed skin is porcelain-like and pure white, so white that it seems any semblance of color had been completely bleached from her existence. Her long straight hair reaches down to her back and is as white as her skin.

One of Deyanira's outfits covers most of her body except her head, neck and hands, as the rest of her figure was wrapped in dark clothing. The contrast between her black clothing and the whiteness of her skin helps express her striking beauty.

She is often seen smiling and acting very nonchalantly, until the topic shifts to something she is genuinely interested in. Due to her beautiful appearance, she often gives off a maidenly impression.

## Personality

For a former angel, Deyanira appears to be quite human-like, openly expressing emotions such as joy, admiration, disdain and sympathy. She does not show the arrogance or pettiness that other celestial beings do. She admires humans, due to their use of free will, and particularly enjoyed their stories, seeing it as a great example of free will. Deyanira views existence as her own personal story, with herself as the hero and her opponents as villains. She even purposely spares many of her enemies and encourages them to oppose her, simply so that they will be playing the roles she has assigned them in her story.

Deyanira's curiosity toward the unknown and thirst for knowledge are the two things that defines her behavior.

At first glance, she is polite, soft-spoken, understanding, and even a bit childish. She is stated by the other demons to be quite clumsy like the time when she accidentally set the forest on fire, nearly burning to death, as she was trying to warm herself. Cain also mentioned that she once forgot to change from her nightgown, and accidentally went out in public without properly dressing.

If it is to get a hold of more knowledge, she has no problems with employing sophistry, lying, and deceiving others. Deyanira is cunning, devious, and highly skilled at manipulating others. Despite her arrogance, she does not dismiss possible threats as other demons do, but seeks to eliminate said threats, however at times she does let her arrogance get the better of her, especially if she feels certain she will win. She was also the first demon to realize that Lucifer must hate demons as much as he hates humans (which demons originally were). She leaves once she realizes that a situation is too dangerous for her to risk, but resolves herself when she knows that escape isn't an option.

## Quotes

* *"So I'm a fake. Do you have any idea how much pan-cake makeup and soft lighting it took to get God to work a rope line? He hated it. And, you know, humans sense that. So they prayed harder and longer and fought more wars in his name. And for what?! So they could die of malaria? Leukemia? And all the while, blaming themselves! "Oh, if only I'd been more prayerful, God would have loved me! God would have saved me!" You know what?! God didn't even know their name! But I do. Because I've walked among them. And I can save them."*
* *"I mean, God works in mysterious ways. So you just got to believe that when he crushes your nuts, he does it for a reason."*
