Deidra the Defiant Defender

## ***Biography***

*Born in the now ruined remains of Highfell, the Tiefling known as Deidra and her family became a traveling troupe of sorts, making their way across the north, never staying in one place for long. Eventually, though, their travels would lead them to the Verflucht Islands, finally calling Sister Riss their home. Being so close to the pirate influence, Deidra has developed her unique 'swagger' speech adopted from the rough-neck buccaneers. She spent much of her early life learning how to protect herself, and others, in these savage, deadly lands.*

## ***Abilities***

*Deidra has the unique ability to draw the spirits around her to her body, and manifesting ectoplasmic armor and arms. Plagued by the sorrow of all those who she has not been able to save throughout her life, Deidra fell into a deep depression as a youth. It was at this point in her life, she befriended an 'imaginary friend', named Kaly. The friend, as it turns out, was not so imaginary after all. As Deidra grew older and more knowledgeable, she recognized Kaly was, in fact, a spirit that had chosen to attach herself to Deidra. It was through this ghostly friend that Deidra manifested her Phantom Weapon.*

*Later, Deidra was attacked by a vicious specter when visiting an old ruins among the jungle, and was forced to battle him in a long, grueling fight that left her nearly dead. When it seemed like all was lost, Kaly struck a lucky shot upon the poltergeist, causing it to back off. It revealed it's name to be Vino, and recognizing Deidra's ability to wield Kaly along with as reward for besting him, Vino attached to Deidra as well, becoming a symbiotic armor that manifests whenever Deidra is in danger.*

*Aside from her ghastly weapon and ectoplasmic plate armor, Deidra possesses the following abilities:*

* *The ability to teleport and strike her foes in fluid, seamless motion.*
* *The ability to heal herself and allies by sending wayward spirits out to touch them with soothing energies.*
* *Her spirits can boost her allies to perform better in combat, giving them faster attacks, speed and other supernatural abilities.*

## ***Friends***

* *Sola(Lover): The first person she met when arriving in Edyn. She had just been mugged, and had her gold stolen. Sitting outside of a pub, begging, Sola invited her inside and bought her a round to help her warm up from the chill of winter. She was then brought back to Sola's home, to stay until she got back on her feet, and it seemed that affections bloomed. She now lives with Sola and is trying to help the shy teacher how to be a little more outgoing.*
* *Warren(Friend): She met this guy out in the snow covered streets of Edyn when she nearly walked right into Deodre. The strong-man seems to enjoy talking with her and asking her about her past, which Deidra isn't at all shy about providing. The two are hitting it off well.*
* *Deodre(Acquaintance): She ran into (almost literally) Deodre only moments before her introduction to Warren. The two talked about her being new to Edyn, and her interest in Sola. She also got to see Deodre kill a guy! It's okay, though. He was a bad guy anyway.*
* *Azelia(Aquaintance): This shy healer reminds her a lot of Sola in many ways. She finds her timid nature endearing and cute. They talked about their abilties, and Deidra offered to try and help Azelia to learn Warp Magic! In return, Azelia would help Deidra make her healing talents stronger.*
