Personality: Quiet and wary around other Sylvari. Deorai was Soundless for most of her life and is extremely empathic and sensitive to the Dream. She can be friendlier once she gets to know people and loves being outdoors. She is open and friendly around Norn, enjoying spending time with them at Moots and in the Shiverpeaks, and preferring them for company when possible, though recently the Exalted have become her main companions.

Background: Deorai left the Grove immediately after waking, her mind so filled with the thoughts and emotions of others that she could barely do more than stumble and nearly crawl away, seeking quiet and the ability to hear herself think. The menders tending the pods were distracted and did not notice her distress and departure. Fanai, her fern hound, found her immediately and followed her as she left, helping her along and protecting her until she managed to get enough distance that she could try to focus.

She spent years as a Soundless, practicing shielding herself from the overpowering sense of the Dream, though even when half a world away she can sense it and her family when her focus falters (when she sleeps for instance). At such a distance it is not so overwhelming. She joined the Priory, taking the opportunity to explore ruins and help recover artifacts for them while she roams.

She enjoys spending time with the Norn, both for their boisterous personalities and love of nature as well as the distance the Shiverpeaks has from the Grove. She spent most of a year out exploring the Deldrimor Fronts before the jolt through the ley lines hit, catching her attention and drawing alarm from her as she immediately turned and headed straight back towards civilization and to a sense of something large and dangerous, seeking to know what had happened. She found herself reluctantly caught up in what was happening and pulled back to the Grove for the first time since she woke during the Summit.

The vision the Pale Tree shared with her children there left Deorai in a coma for several weeks and broke down her carefully practiced shielding, though the years have given her more ability to function and think, even without it. She continued to pursue the situation, but tooks breaks back in the Shiverpeaks when she could, where her mind was more at ease.

When Glint's Egg was found she felt driven to protect it, above all else, a Wyld Hunt to her. She followed its bearer to Tarir, and remains there, working along with the Exalted to keep the area secure.

Current Activities: Learning about and from the Exalted, protecting the Egg and Tarir.
Whereabouts/Residence: Tarir
