Deldri Andras

The Shadow of What Was Lost
An Echo of Things to Come
The Light of All That Falls

Princess **Deldri Andras** is the daughter of Duke Elocien and Geladra, and sister to Prince Torin. Still a child, she holds no position of power within court, but her royal bloodline still makes her a person of interest.

## Description

### Appearance

As a child, Deldri was on the chubby side. During her brother's absence she slimmed out and grew into a confident-looking girl who was tall enough to look him in the eye.

### Personality

In her younger years, Deldri was so shy and quiet that her brother often forgot about her presence when they spent time together. In their time apart, she became far more extraverted and emphatic, picking up a love for court gossip and often standing up to her mother when she felt her treatment was unfair.

Deldri's relationship with her brother largely colours her personality. Despite her young age she is genuinely warm and kind, inheriting none of the sternness her parents are known for. She can be somewhat careless, often endangering herself without intending to, but her loyalty to her brother is unmatched.

## History

Deldri was born three years after her brother Prince Torin, whom she affectionately calls Tor. Unlike her brother, she is not Gifted, and was never told of his powers due to her young age. While her family life was once pleasant, the recent rift in her parents' marriage has left her feeling isolated.

### Prince Torin's Return

She is present when Wirr returns to Ilin Illan from Caladel. Unaware about the truth of his absence, she asks him for information on Calandra and attempts to learn about his travelling companion Aelric Shainwiere before her mother stifles her line of questioning in favour of more familial conversation.

Wirr remarks upon how quickly she's grown in the three years they've been apart, and shares fabricated stories of his journey to sate her interest. Deldri listens attentively, but nearly overpowers the conversation — in a major departure from her previous behaviour. After about an hour, Geladra escorts Deldri away to let the men have a private conversation about Andarra's affairs, and she hugs her brother before leaving.

### Invasion Aftermath

**This section re-write is in progress.**

### At the Estate

After a stressful few weeks as Northwarden, Wirr decides to return to the family Estate for a retreat. He is surprised to see her, as his mother lied and told him she was away for the duration of his Visit. Wirr shares some of his issues with his sister, who remains sympathetic and shows her love for her brother regardless of their mother's Loyalist sentiments. Deldri further reveals that Geladra was lying about Elocien's belongings going missing, and leads Wirr to a room where he finds his father's personal Oathstone.

As Wirr and his mother butt heads over these falsehoods, Deldri pleads to be taken to the palace when he returns. She complains that her relationship with her mother has deteriorated, and complains that Geladra's use of a personal guard makes her feel like a prisoner at home. Wirr agrees, and unknowingly uses the Oathstone to force their mother to relinquish Deldri into his care.

### At the Palace

Deldri manages to integrate into palace life rather quickly, as she feels safer under the watchful eye of her brother, cousin and uncle. This does not last, however, as she is present when Isiliar storms the palace, intending to lure Caeden by destroying the residence of his allies. Deldri is severely injured in the attack, but Wirr is able to find Taeris in time for the older Gifted to heal her.

As she recovers, Geladra moves in to the palace as well. Unbeknownst to Deldri, her mother plans to run her as a candidate to replace Wirr as Northwarden. Before this officially comes to pass, her brother is able to convince Administration to accompany him to the Boundary to verify his claims — a journey which only Wirr and Karaliene survive.

### The Bane Invasion

A year later, Deldri continues to live at the palace, cared for by her brother and uncle after the death of her mother. She notices that Erran takes a keen interest in her and assumes he is admiring her romantically — unaware that the Augur's long-term control of her father causes him to still somewhat regard her as his daughter.

She is present when the *eletai* swarm invades Ilin Illan, and receives one of their stingers through her foot. She is able to survive the incident without being killed or assimilated, though only because Taeris gave her a quick amputation below her ankle. Unconscious, he carries her into Tol Athian for her safety. She survives the invasion, and Wirr leaves her in the care of the Tol, regretting her injury but relieved that his sister will live.

Though she remains unaware of this, the deaths of Karaliene and Kevran leave her and Wirr as the last remaining members of the Andras family — and she is now second in line for the throne.
