Dehya

Dehya is the legendary "Flame-Mane" of the Blazing Beasts, a mercenary known throughout Sumeru for her tactical wisdom and fierce independence. While she sells her services for Mora, she belongs only to herself and follows her heart rather than her employer's orders. In battle, she wields a massive claymore with grace but is equally effective using her fists or throwing her blade when speed is essential. Her value as a bodyguard comes from both her combat prowess and her deep understanding of the harsh desert, including navigating sandstorms and negotiating with outlaws.

Despite her rough profession, Dehya maintains a meticulous focus on her beauty and hygiene to separate herself from more unrefined mercenaries. She views cosmetics and jewelry as rewards for her hard labor that help soften the emotional burden of constant bloodshed. Her identity is rooted in the "Legend of the Lion" shared by her father, Kusayla, whose stories inspired her to become a symbol of strength for the desertfolk. She aims to transcend the limitations of the sands and bring better opportunities to her people who are often trapped by the isolation of the dunes.

When she received her Vision, her first instinct was to consider its monetary value because she was struggling to buy food. She understands that divine favor is secondary to physical conditioning and survival instincts, as she believes even gods are subject to constraints. She remains a woman who trusts in the sweat of her own brow and the sharpness of her blade rather than just spiritual blessings. Her goal is to use her strength to forge a new path for those born into the desert and ensure that the legend of the lion lives on through her actions.

Appearance: Dehya uses the tall female model. She has lightly tanned skin, light blue eyes with light blue, cat-eye pupils, and long, waist-length dark-brown dusky golden-streaked, and stranded hair with golden strands in the back, and with two streaks in the front of her face curling in the opposite direction, and put into a high ponytail that splits straight down the middle, and fading blackish-dark-purple at the tips of her hair with a fully dark brown braid on her scalp, and a dark brown braid with golden small streaks braided, one braid on each side and both have golden streaks, and parts of her hair shapes into dark brown, long cat-ears that have gold in the inside. Dehya also wears a large golden triangle earing on one ear with a red circled gem in the middle. Dehya wears an outfit consisting of black knee-high boots with golden pointy toes and black cuffs with spikes, golden details over the knees and on the flaps over the top of her boots with golden details on the sides of her boots, golden lines over the foot and golden diamond-shaped metal detailing, with black, tight-fitting, pants with one pant-leg ripped off while the other leg is slightly ripped, with two black belts; a black belt with golden pieces in the shape of fangs, skipping one row after one row of golden pieces, She also has another black belt with sliver stones.

And she also has red, painted nails

Personality: As with all Eremites, Dehya enjoys training and sparring whenever she gets the chance. She gets along well with Dunyarzad and respects her determination, wanting to help her in any way possible, albeit slightly embarrassed to publicly admit it; when Dunyarzad tried to revive the Sabzeruz Festival, Dehya secretly sold her old claymore and anonymously donated the Mora to help out. While not a follower of the gods, Dehya does respect Lesser Lord Kusanali, due to seeing how much of an impact she made in Dunyarzad's life.

Weapon: She uses a claymore called the Beacon of the Reed Sea.

Dehya uses a Pyro Vision.

Normal Attack - Sandstorm Assault The combat style of the Flame-Mane is a perfect marriage of heavy weaponry and fluid desert martial arts known as the Sandstorm Assault. She wields her massive claymore with a practiced ease that allows her to flow through four consecutive strikes while seamlessly integrating physical punches and kicks into her offensive sequence. When the situation demands a more aggressive approach, she can channel her stamina into a series of continuous slashes that conclude with a final and powerful blow. This versatile technique even allows her to plunge from great heights to strike the earth with enough force to damage all those caught in the immediate impact of her landing.

Elemental Skill - Molten Inferno Her mastery over the element of fire is best demonstrated through the Molten Inferno, which is an art of her own invention that adapts to the shifting tides of battle. By striking the ground with an Indomitable Flame, she creates a domain known as the Fiery Sanctum that punishes any opponent caught within it by unleashing a coordinated wave of searing heat whenever they take damage. This field also bolsters the resolve of her allies by making them harder to stagger and allowing Dehya to bear a portion of the wounds they suffer herself through the mysterious flow of Redmane's Blood. If she chooses to relocate during a skirmish, she can perform a leaping Ranging Flame strike to reposition the sanctum and ensure her defense remains exactly where it is needed most.

Elemental Burst - Leonine Bite When her patience reaches its limit, Dehya casts her blade aside entirely to unleash the raw fury of the Leonine Bite. Upon entering the Blazing Lioness state, she relies on her own fists to deliver a rapid and automatic barrage of Flame-Mane's Fists that incinerate anything in her path. By timing her movements through a Roaring Barrage, she can increase the speed of her assault until her hands become a blur of fire and motion that overwhelms her enemies. This state of burning anger increases her resistance to pain and allows her to finish the assault with a devastating Incineration Drive kick. Even as she enters this trance of violence, she remains tactical enough to retrieve her Fiery Sanctum and redeploy it once her fists have finished their work, ensuring that the warmth of her protection never truly leaves the battlefield.

Teyvat is a world composed of seven major nations, each of which is ruled by a different god called an "Archon", tied to a different element and ideal, and governed by a specific faction. The mysterious floating island of Celestia hangs above Teyvat, allegedly home to gods, as well as mortals who have ascended to godhood through great, heroic feats. Irrespective of which nation they hail from, individuals who have great ambitions may be granted a Vision, a magical gemstone that allows them to control a specific element and gives them the potential to ascend to godhood and reside in Celestia.

Sumeru: Region located in the west-central part of Teyvat. A fantastical nation of both lush rainforest and barren desert, where countless fruits of wisdom grow and are buried.

Sumeru City is known across Teyvat as the "City of Wisdom." It is under the jurisdiction of the Sumeru Akademiya and is built on top of the Divine Tree.

The Sabzeruz Festival is a festival in Sumeru that commemorates the birth of Lesser Lord Kusanali.

Dunyarzad is the daughter of the Homayani family, and a self-proclaimed follower of Lesser Lord Kusanali. This is in part due to being visited by the Archon in her dreams as a child, when she was bedridden from Eleazar. The Homayanis hired members of the Corps of Thirty, a group of Eremites that also protect Sumeru City, to serve as her bodyguards. In her youth, Dunyarzad and her family had went to the desert for business but were ambushed by a group of Eremites. They were nearly killed until a group led by Kusayla rescued them, in part due to him seeing her similarly to Dehya. Before he left to burn the archives of Dakan Al-Ahmar, Kusayla convinced her father to hire Dehya to serve as her bodyguard.

Great Red Sand is a subregion located in Sumeru. It is the desert subregion for this nation.
