Cynical and suspicious, Deborah is a closed person who trusts no-one. Her sharp wit and proclivity to sarcasm often define her to those who speak to her. She constantly reminisces on the past and is haunted by memories of her brother and her best friend. She is observant of people's true natures and refuses to look away from people's flaws. Cunning, Deborah always has some kind of plan or escape route in any given situation.

Deborah can be close-minded in her approach to other people. Her prejudices often cloud her judgment.
Deborah doesn't trust easily and isn't comfortable with social interactions. She is also uncomfortable with sharing, having been raised to keep to herself and trust nobody with her possessions.

Deborah is escaping from the prison which held her for so many years. Her main motivation in the story is to escape the misery and eventual death of that prison.
Another motivation is her desire to explore the world and enjoy her newfound freedom.

Deborah has a secret passion for pastel yellow.

Her pen. A witch charmed it to never run out of ink, making the pen Deborah's most useful possession.

Deborah is a trained soldier, and as such has extensive knowledge of swords. She has fought with axes and bows and arrows, but she will always favour a good ol' fashioned sword.

Deborah is the daughter of a wealthy man and an unknown woman. The man sent her and her older brother to the Onian Military Academy at an early age to be trained and raised as soldiers. This background taught Deborah strict discipline and on how to physically harm others with minimal damage to oneself. At the age of 16, while still a student, Deborah was incarcerated for trying to help her best friend - Bianca-Key - escape the Onian Dance Academy. Deborah spent four years in a prison reserved for soldiers. After years of planning, Deborah escaped the prison. Due to certain circumstances, Deborah was forced to leave Bianca-Key inside. Days passed by, and a malnourished and weakened Deborah was found by Annika Moth, who took pity on her. She transferred Deborah into Lepidoptera, and the story begins.
