Appearance

Deidra is a slender high elf with warm bronze skin, tousled silver-blonde hair, and bright amber eyes that rarely remain focused on one thing for long. A thin scar crosses her left temple, a remnant of the injury that preceded her amnesia. She wears a weather-stained sage's robe beneath a patched military coat, both covered in handwritten notes, faded revolutionary insignia, and small protective sigils. Her spellbook is bound in dark green leather and contains pages salvaged from her sister's research journals.

Mannerisms

Deidra speaks quickly when excited, frequently changes subjects mid-sentence, and taps the end of her staff against her boot while thinking. She pauses before saying her sister's name, as though listening for an answer. When nervous, she writes tiny observations in the margins of whatever paper is available.

Personality

Younger, bright-hearted, and relentlessly curious, Deidra treats every ruin, spell, and stranger as a potential source of wonder. She is quick to laugh, eager to help, and prone to asking deeply personal questions because she genuinely believes every person is an unfinished story. Beneath her playful energy is a survivor's unease, especially around observatories, battlefields, and gaps in her own memory.

Ideals

Truth belongs to everyone. No empire, church, monarch, or wizard has the right to decide which lives and memories are worthy of preservation.

Bonds

Elira's journals and the revolutionary cipher she died protecting are Deidra's most treasured possessions. She is fiercely protective of displaced civilians, imprisoned dissidents, and anyone whose story has been erased by official history.

Flaws

Deidra is dangerously willing to investigate anything connected to her lost memories, even when doing so risks her life or the safety of her companions. She hides fear behind humor, denies how deeply Elira's death wounded her, and sometimes trusts a fascinating mystery more than a trustworthy person.

Quirks

Names every spell before casting it, even when stealth would be wiser.
Collects broken clockwork, bent keys, and fragments of old maps.
Laughs at ominous discoveries, then immediately starts taking notes.
Cannot resist correcting inaccurate historical inscriptions.
Sometimes wakes from dreams speaking in a language she does not remember learning.

Background

Deidra was born into an old elven family of scholars who served the empire as translators, archivists, and magical consultants. Her older sister, Elira, was the disciplined one, while Deidra was the curious younger child who opened forbidden cabinets, asked inconvenient questions, and treated every locked door as an invitation. Her fascination with history and magic eventually turned against the empire when she discovered that official records had been altered to conceal atrocities committed during the civil war. She joined the revolutionary cause, first as a codebreaker and battlefield diviner, then as a field mage who helped civilians escape imperial reprisals. The revolution lost. During the final battle, Deidra vanished beneath the ruins of a collapsed observatory. She survived, but the trauma left her with no clear memory of the following years. She wandered under false names, sometimes working as a tutor or researcher, until an unexplained magical seizure left her in a coma. Elira eventually found her, identified her through a half-remembered family song, and spent years arranging her care. Deidra awoke to learn that Elira had died only weeks earlier, having exhausted her fortune and health to save her. Now Deidra travels with her sister's journals, determined to reconstruct the missing years of her life, uncover the truth behind Elira's death, and make certain that history can no longer be rewritten by the people who win wars.
