Every legendary story seems to have at least one charming and optimistic character. If that's the case, then it only makes sense that Deidra has decided to be that person. After all, if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach the positive? True, Deidra's constant belief that things will get better can be terribly grating, especially to pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but Deidra's constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes spur others to action when it feels like the world just wants them to lay down and die.

Deidra is perfectly capable of fulfilling responsibilities and doing his duties. But goofing off and having fun will always have a heavy sway in his decision making. He sometimes ignores orders or finds ways to spend as much time avoiding an assignment as possible.

While generally laid back and more than happy to offer a quip of sarcasm, Deidra's entire demeanor changes once combat begins. He becomes focused and quiet, with his smile replaced with a look of grim determination.

Deidra tells it like he sees it, when he thinks it; and he doesn't try to sugar coat what he says.
