"The sun doesn't rise and set on your endurance, you know."

- Solar-powered hiker.

Dea is a "blessed" white woman who uses she/her pronouns. An exceedingly large woman, Dea has long since accepted the fact that she is guaranteed to draw eyes in public. Due to this ire, she naturally does her best to shy away from where judgement comes standard, instead finding a sense of serenity and acceptance among wildlife and nature. Wildlife thus became an easy choice for her major in university, and she has since made a friend who sympathizes with her difficult time spent getting functional clothes at sizes larger than a women's small.

Along with her towering height, Dea possesses a "blessing" that grants her multiple abilities. She can summon crystalline growths from the ground nearby or directly from her own body. These growths can take on various forms, such as a smooth, unyieldingly durable protective outer coating, or a bed of vicious spikes. She is also able to unconsciously absorb sunlight and convert it into energy, which can be expended in a powerful blast of pure solar energy capable of decimating anything in its path. Using her power in such a destructive manner requires a lengthy rest period afterwards, however, so she has learned to not rely on it.

One location always has caught Dea's eye as she plots out her next hiking trip: a large swathe of relatively unmapped forest well away from larger hub cities and trade centers. But she has always found a range of excuses for not making the trip in the end, whether it be the distance, another well-documented mountain that's begging her to climb it, or even the rampant superstitions swirling around the place. This time, no such obstacles hold her back, so she prepares her usual supply of gear along with some extra navigational equipment. If she's going somewhere that hasn't been given a good session of cartography, she'd better be ready to do some of her own.
