Denedra Djehuti
Name:Denedra ‘Blushing Sunchild’ Djehuti
Nickname: Deni, Sunchild, Blush
Age: 91
Birthplace: Egypt
Sex: Female
Occupation: None
Appearance:
Whilst human she appears a somewhat attractive young woman. Dark skinned with black hair and brown eyes. She wears second hand clothing which just looks like she just hasn’t chosen to buy any new clothes for a while. She’s stands at about 5’4 when human.
In her gargoyle form she stands at about 7’. Her skin is a burnt sandy colour to deep red and slightly patterned. She has large feathered wings that look like eagles wings that are a brown red colour with black and white tips. Her hands are highly human looking and proportionate to her size and fee of claws. She has a tail that looks like that of a lion’s and her feet have retractable claws and are larger than average. Her claws are the main way she perches not with her toes and feet really. She has cat like eyes and long pointed ears with fur tufts on them. Her face looks very human. She has slightly pointed canines and her eyes are very cat like. She has dark lines on her skin from the corner of her eyes. Her hair is long and she usually has the centre plaited. It’s a light tan, you could say blonde colour but the tip of her hair is very dark brown fading to black. She has some tuffs of hair on the back of her calf the same colour as her hair. Her hips are capable of switching her from a standing position to a four legged position allowing her to run along the ground at great speeds. She has the appearance of a sphinx like creature. Clothing wise whilst in her gargoyle state she usually wears strips of material tied around her to give her a sense of modesty.
Personality: She’s a warrior woman when it comes to her tiny little clan. She’s incredibly maternal and is making a wonderful leader even though she is incredibly young herself in terms of gargoyles. She has to constantly be vigilant of the sun. She does sometimes wonder if that’s why her clan, from Egypt were so keen to protect the ancient temples and monuments. That others may have had her abilities through the years. However she does know that without her ability to change in to a human, she would most likely be dead and couldn‘t have protected her little fledglings.
She does as much as she possibly can through the day whilst human experiencing all that humans do. Choosing to meet as many people as possible, experiencing new things. Gathering books and hobby tools and crafts. She also has a philosophy of spreading good where she goes. So her life can come to some greater meaning.
She’s very superstitious and follows the star signs.
She’s a wonderful teacher and believes that knowledge is the most wonderful gift that can be given. Humans have a fascinating society where knowledge is so accessible in so many forms.
Special abilities/talents: She’s developing her sculpting skills, she loves clay. Surprisingly for a gargoyle, she can drive.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Gargoyle
Power(s): The ability to become human upon the rising sun. A painful transformation but allows her to live among humans. Then the average gargoyle abilities but she is also able to slightly sense other gargoyles.
History: Deni was the last gargoyle born to an ancient clan. A peaceful large group of up to about forty members. Her Mother and Father were so doting upon her but when they realised that she didn’t turn to stone through the day they began to panic. So they went out in search of clothing and games and all manner of things to keep her occupied and safe throughout the day to stop her from wandering. It worked for a number of years before she hit the human equivalent of teenage years. Then she began to walk out through the day. Finding a village nearby she would visit that daily for many, many years.
She chose not to tell her parents or siblings though returning before the sun went down every night. They would only worry. It was during one of these trips in to the village that Deni was away when the tomb the clan watched and resided in was attacked by treasure hunters. They smashed pretty much everything in the hunt for treasure including the sphinx gargoyles that lined the corridors. Devastated and completely distraught Deni believed her entire family were destroyed in the savage search. She discovered a child crying when the sun went down. Deep in a secret chamber. Her added strength helped her force aside the rocks and she found a tiny gargoyle baby. Her Mother had been smashed apart and must have come down the night previous to give birth in private. Perhaps she hadn’t even known she was pregnant? But Deni gathered up the child and wrapped her in a cloth and discovered a number of precious items in the chamber. She collected all she could and headed out and decided to call the child, Bole after the colour of his skin, it looked like a type of clay found on the side of the river. There she found another survivor. An older Gargoyle. But now utterly wingless and missing one arm. She nursed him for several months before he died, of what Deni is still not sure. Perhaps a broken heart? His children and partner had died in the attack. So Deni took off with the child to put those painful memories far behind her. The child she had found turned to stone every night so Deni decided to play the part of a human archaeologist. To travel with the unusual ‘statue’. She travelled through the old European cities in hopes of finding more gargoyles. The only ones she discovered were sleeping ancient ones for many years before she found herself in Prague. She discovered a young female gargoyle she didn’t know how she had come to be so far away from her clan and had stayed asleep waiting for them to find her. Deni waited until the day to ask some questions. Apparently the ‘statue’ was found in Russia and brought to the city for the museum. Helping the young gargoyle, named Tricorn after her three horns on the top of her head. She was very young. Deni chose to help her get back to her clan. It took a while but eventually they found the old home of the young girl. When they got there though, they discovered no one. Deni told her she could join them.
She took a very bold decision to travel to America. Concealing themselves in a cargo ship container they eventually made it to America. Travelling throughout the very young nation Deni became disheartened about finding any more gargoyles and decided that she would settle the little ones down somewhere. She needed somewhere away from a large city but close enough to some form of civilisation. She still had numerous ancient artefacts worth a good deal of money. She discovered Mysteria flying over a lake one night. She felt the presence of another gargoyle and sensed there was something happening there. She’s found a safe spot for the two in the forest while she’s gotten herself a small apartment close to the edge of town. She’s looking around for somewhere out of town, big, perhaps an old farm or converted barn so she can have somewhere safe for the kids. She also looking desperately for this other gargoyle. If he does, in fact, exist.
Firstly though, she needs a good realtor.
Flaws:
Compulsion: She’s superstitious so if she has to knock wood after saying something she’ll not speak or stop until she has found some to knock on. If someone spills some salt she has to tell them and make them throw it over her shoulder.
Having to constantly be vigilant of the exact times of Sunrise and Sunset does rather hinder ones life. It means she has to be somewhere quiet and alone whenever the sun goes down or comes up. Plus her ability is a rather painful and unpleasant thing to witness.
Deni doesn’t know when to quit. If there’s something she thinks you should know, or learn, or do? She’ll nag you to death before she gives up.
Merits:
Double-Jointed: her hips can swivel around and allow her to run on all fours meaning she can reach great speeds and climb buildings and navigate crevices greatly.
Prehensile tail: Can dangle like a fool from things.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Preferred PB (played-by): Lisa Bonet
