## Background

### History

For most of his youngest years, Deidara was a shinobi of Iwagakure. He specialized in the explosion release kekki genkai and worked as a member of the explosion corps. He developed his passion for sculpture around this time as well.

This ended in his teen years after Deidara stole the scroll to a forbidden jutsu from his village and was banished. He trained as a missing ninja on his own, perfecting his newfound ability to knead his chakra into explosive clay.

He became a prolifically dangerous missing ninja, which caught the attention of the Akatsuki. They cut him a deal. If Deidara could defeat Itachi in battle, they would let him leave and if he lost he would join them. Following Deidara's loss to Itachi he begrudgingly joined the Akatsuki, although his heart was always in it for the art rather than the goals the group maintained.

For a time Deidara was partnered with Sasori. He respected him, up until his death. Following this Deidara was partnered with Tobi who he did not respect in the slightest and in fact had very little patience for. He first met with Naruto after defeating and kidnapping Gaara for the Akatsuki. However, he was defeated by Naruto following this. Deidara is specifically pissed off at Naruto for punching him in the face and disrespecting his art. This is canon. He ends up on a bit of a revenge driven spiral at this point after Sasuke kills Orichimaru, since Deidara wanted to kill him instead.

Deidara hunts down Sasuke with the help of Tobi who opts to stay out of the fight. This would turn out to be a great move because Deidara blows himself up trying to take Sasuke down. This does not work, but he isn't aware of this yet as the explosion effectively knocked him into Nexus by sheer force. As far as Deidara knows, he is dead and in Hell and he brought Sasuke with him. Correct him if you dare.

## Room

Deidara's room in the Nexus Hub's Harmony Quarters is a unique blend of artistic chaos and tranquil creativity. Sky blue dominates the color scheme, with walls painted in different shades to mimic the ever-changing hues of the sky. Sunlight filters through gauzy curtains, casting a soft, artistic glow over the room. The overall ambiance is both inspiring and serene.

The centerpiece of Deidara's room is undoubtedly his art studio. A long, sturdy wooden table stretches along one wall, laden with an array of sculpting tools, clays, and canvases. A nearby shelf houses countless completed works of art, showcasing Deidara's explosive talent. The room is intentionally left a bit messy, with clay smudges and half-finished creations scattered about, reflecting his impulsive and passionate nature.

In one corner, a comfortable seating area provides a space for contemplation and relaxation. A plush armchair and a low coffee table are positioned beneath a large window that offers a breathtaking view of the Nexus Hub's gardens. It's here that Deidara often contemplates his next artistic masterpiece, with a sketchbook always within arm's reach.

Throughout the room, sky-blue and art-themed decor accentuates the space. Framed artworks of his own creation adorn the walls, adding a personal touch to the environment. The room's atmosphere is a testament to Deidara's love for art, offering a haven where he can lose himself in his explosive creativity.
