Dee, "Godmother", Boss, Devil's Mistress
25 years old/ Female
Snow Leopard
155lbs, 5’10”
Deeandra is not the type of woman who has the time, nor is willing to take anyone’s mouthy attitude. She is a strong and independent individual who does not need approval unable to care about anyone’s perspective but her own. Those who have a problem with her need quickly find they must either change their viewpoint or confront her head on, the latter not being a wise decision. This closed-mindedness is a character fault that derives from the world scorning her leaving nothing but deep rooted hatred and bitterness. They say that anyone can change; however, the likelihood is so insignificant one should not hold their breath. Her tough and determined demeanor allow her to intimidate most into either staying out of her way or giving in to her desires.
One thing that is undeniable is the fact that while Dee can be cruel, snarky, and manipulative she is an honorable woman; evil, yes, but her word is kept though be wary of loopholes because she will find them. She is very old-fashioned and while she appears a lady she is far from it at heart. In the kindest fashion possible, Dee is very much the Devil. If one expects to break through her hard outer shell to find someone warm and cuddly they will be bitterly disappointed. The world has burned her and she locked away her childish dreams of a ‘happily ever after’ long ago.
From her bad attitude and snarky-conceited ideals, her personality is a definite turn off, when she isn't charming her way into following her orders. And while many want to punch Deeandra in her egotistical-flawless face, everyone respects her in their own way knowing she has their life in her hands. Very cunning, her twisted intelligence exceeds even the expectations of those around her. She does not like to dabble in gossip and finds it to be an immature waste of time. If you come to her with information unless it is backed up by hard facts she will not listen.
She is the head of her gang, being the only one with right connections to the world around her so no one can actually pin her with anything. Not only are her hands in all the lots, dead and tortured souls can’t speak from an isolated rooms much less without their tongues. Leader-wise, she is very blunt, quick, and wise always playing the cards in her favor. She’s a trickster and often is teased with the title of a female Loki.
When the moment arises Deeandra is a very dark, calculating woman with little regard for the well-being of those around her. She has the remarkable ability to almost switch off any humanity and compartmentalize her emotions to be a quick and efficient killer and fighter, one of the reasons her role as “Godmother” has never been contested. What she lacks in strength she makes up for with skill. She hates to lose and has an unquenchable competitive streak. All in all, don't go after Dee unless you're incredibly strong, calculated, or very stupid. She knows how to control her facial expressions and emotions, but is very easy to piss off.
There are three things Dee will never do though; beg, cry, and actually smile. She'll smirk sure, and she'll force a smile, but she hasn't actually since the loss of her family. She's an incredibly good actor; to the point where it's almost scary. Only those who really know her can figure out what she's truly feeling but even that can be difficult if she doesn't want you to know.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Deeandra was five years old when she discovered life’s cruel tendrils wrap around her happiness like savage claws, ripping all she knew from her own grasps. The images come to her in pictures, like scenes in a flipbook. One moment walking with her mother through the back alleys on their way home from the grocery store. She was too young, too preoccupied with the excitement of the world around her to have noticed the shadows all but seeming to follow the pair. Only appearing every couple streets. She did not think to take note of her mother’s hand tightening on her own as the two quickened their step. Dee just thought mommy didn’t want to be late for dinner...daddy said tonight would be a surprise.
The next scene she remembered was the figures saying something vile over her mother’s appearance and laughing over
“all they could do to her”. As the pair tried to make a break for it, it all ended in vain as the group managed to split up, cutting them off. She could still see her mother looking around frantically before having her baby girl hid in a pile of garbage, long past due behind some unknown building. Dee barely became invisible before the gang obtained a visible distance on her mom….before they got closer….before they took
advantage of her mother leaving her to die in the cold streets.
Realization set in and the rest can only ever come in flashes like nightmares in the night pigmenting her black with the pungent truth. No matter how hard she would shake the figure before her the lump ball of smoky fur would not awaken. Dee ran home, each step taking what seemed like forever, before she fell at the feet of her father sobbing. At that moment her dad established his own gang in order to take his revenge.
Flash forward several years, and Dee’s family was one of the strongest in the cities; Deeandra herself becoming a name feared throughout the watering hole. It wasn’t until she actually took over that she was able to find the men who killed her mother. They were wiped out without mercy and in the most vial way she was able to manage. Life hardened her heart, and she was able to become strong both physically, and as a leader.
Underneath it all, Dee suffers from PTSD, Antisocial Personality Disorder, and Sociopathic tendencies. She hides her anxious behavior and loneliness underneath her devilish nature. Deeandra is truly frightened by the world around her and grew up learning how to control and conquer this fear. She will never be free of it, but forces it to hide in the back of the mind, tightly locked in a dark box. She suffers from emotional detachment from her history leading to anxiety and stress disorders. She has a deep-rooted hate for strong men who take advantage of women. Unlike many people Deeandra does not deny that she is or what she has done. She accepts it and then learns to live with it.

Besides having a line of
henchmen whose lives are dedicated to her, Dee is both strong and well versed in
hand to hand combat. Her
sharp claws mean she does not need to carry a knife, and growing up in the Waterhole she has built up an immunity to the tear gas often floating around. She does keep a
gas mask on her person at all times as the air in the town is toxic. She is a great shot, usually keeping a
Desert Eagle on her hip and a
.50 BMG rifle on her back. She does not personally carry any machine type weapons as she considers them wastes of ammo (she is cocky about her marksmanship). Nevertheless, her hired men sometimes do. She keeps a
medium sized pouch on her right thigh with various supplies and some extra ammo and well as a
whip on her waist backside.

Unlike most gangs who only take jobs for coin, Dee is more than willing to help certain fill their vendetta with “IOU’s” written to her person. These should not be taken lightly as she will expect the person to fulfill their part whether it be in info or merely a scavenge run. She may not ask for anything at all, may not ask for years, or may ask right away. Other jobs she is willing to turn down if she doesn’t like the attitude of the person asking. She has no fear to law enforcement, nor any of her death threats. She does what she wants when she feels like it.
