Didi

Didi - as introduced by the Company by Mal - goes by other names in other lifetimes. Her appearance is striking as she wears gunmetal grey half-plate armour with lots of colourful ribbons hanging from her waist. She has light lilac skin and has a constellation of white iridescent freckles on her body and face. She has a crescent moon shaped birthmark on her forehead and a cryptic tattoo between her shoulder-blades. Her naturally pearly hair has been dyed in rainbow colours. The hairstylist in Sharra told her it would match her mis-matched (one blue, one green) coloured eyes.

Didi revealed to the party she is one of the Deva, a race of immortal celestials sent as an agent of the gods and given humanoid form. When a deva dies, their soul travels the astral plane for 100 years before being reincarnated in another adult deva body. After reincarnation, a deva recalls vague memories of a past lifetime, allowing it to draw from past experiences to give itself an edge.

However, something must have gone horribly wrong during her last reincarnation, and Didi... well, she has a lot of quirks. She can't remember anything from her past, but is able to channel previous lives who momentarily take over her body. Talk about split personality!

The agglomeration of voices can be a bit distracting and so Didi can appear slightly disconnected to the "moment". It's all good though, she's probably just having a conversation with a previous lifetime somewhere in her head.

Further, these other lives have a habit of taking over Didi when called upon. Whether it is Luna the wizard gnome, Sweety the nimble thief, Sarelah the indomitable barbarian Rowena the despondent bard, or one of the many others... these take overs can be somewhat distracting although the do not seem painful.

A cleric of Selûne, Didi seems to receive divine instructions as to what purpose she must fulfil next. These messages appear in Didi's own handwriting on the ribbons she wears. Sometimes, Didi will use the ribbons as a tool to organise her thoughts into some coherence. However she frequently speaks in riddles.

Her last task was to find some missing clerics of Lathander - something that was achieved during the famous Sharra Prison Break of 1405 DR - led by the Respectable Company. Didi fully expected to die once the clerics had been found. But she is still here... and those messages keep appearing on her ribbons...
