Deet, born Deethra, was a Gelfling of the Grottan Clan who lived during the late Age of Division. Deet experienced a vision by touching Vliste-Staba, the Sanctuary Tree located in the Mountains of Grot, and joined the Gelfling resistance.
Biography
Joining the resistance
Living in Grot, Deet spent her time scavenging moss to feed her Nurlocs, but one day the moss turned out to be poisoned by an infectious contagion caused by the corruption of the Dark Crystal. Her Nurlocs became insane and attacked her, causing her to flee toward the Sanctuary Tree, which spoke to her. It explained the Darkening, that the great trees had been containing it in the earth for many trine, but that now it is seeping to the surface, and she must stop it. After being given medicine by Maudra Argot, Deet was sent to the surface to warn the All-Maudra of the danger.[1]
Passing through forests, Deet eventually befriended a fizzgig and went to sleep, only to be attacked by a "spitter" Arathim. Although she tried to reason with it, it simply continued to attack until Hup managed to defeat it. They then decided to travel together to Ha'rar, Hup correcting her on directions as she had mistaken a moon for a star.[2]
Continuing on her journey, Deet became fascinated by the thriving life on the surface of Thra, and worried more that the darkening would destroy it all. Hup reassured her that when they arrived at Ha'rar they would "win", but Deet misinterpreted him as saying the Gelfling would all unite. Hup tried in vain to explain that the clan divisions were too great for the Gelfling to unite and cooperate effectively, but Deet insisted that they just needed to "adjust". They then entered the Stonewood Clan capital, Stone-in-the-Wood, but were not welcomed. Oblivious to the hatred of the locals, Deet sat at a bar and asked questions about the town, only for them to shove her off of the bar, much to her confusion. Seeing this, Hup attacked the locals despite Deet's attempts to stop the fight, and eventually Hup was imprisoned. Deet sets out to free him, but is denied an audience with Maudra Fara as a "dirty" Grottan. Watching Rian walk past her and gain admittance, Deet complained that he was much dirtier than her, to which the guard said at least Rian was a member of their clan. Deet met with Rian after he was cast out later, and took inspiration when he said he was treated like a "monster".[3]
Using a moss to make herself glow and appear like a monster, Deet frightened the guards away the next night and broke Hup out of prison when they fled. Leaving, Deet nearly walks into a patch of Gobbles, although Hup saved her from them. Later, while sheltering a storm, Deet saw skekMal rush past after Rian, and follows in order to help. She arrives near the end of the fight, comforting Rian after his father fell into the Gobbles with skekMal, until skekMal miraculously launches out of the Gobbles and snatches Rian away.[4]
Hup defending Deet while she was in the Dream Space
Continuing on to Ha'rar, Deet had to stop when Hup broke down sobbing, attempting to dissuade Deet not to go to Ha'rar due to his fear for her. Hup confessed that he didn't think himself capable of protecting her, but Deet reassured Hup and they pressed on to finally arrive in Ha'rar. Once there, Deet began to worry that she would be denied entry to see the All-Maudra as she had been denied entry to see Maudra Fara, so Hup snatched a fancy outfit for her to masquerade as a Vapran and bluffed the guard into allowing them to enter. Although they nearly reached the All-Maudra, Deet was found out by Seladon, and ordered to give the message to her rather than to the All-Maudra. Although Seladon initially disbelieved Deet due to the lack of proof, Deet dreamfasted with her, only for them both to land in the Dream Space rather than a normal dreamfast, where Deet was surprised to see Rian and noted (along with Gurjin) that she arrived via dreamfasting. After Aughra explained that the Dream Space was "the source of magic and prophecy", ejected Seladon, and brought Deet before the Crystal of Truth, the Skeksis' crimes of draining Gelfling of essence was revealed to her by the Crystal. Aughra then ordered Deet to travel with Brea, Lore, and Rian to the Circle of the Suns. After issuing additional orders, Aughra returned Deet to her body, only for Deet to find herself surrounded by Seladon's paladins until Mayrin ordered them aside. Deet then accompanied Mayrin to confront skekVar and skekZok, only for skekVar to slay Mayrin and have Seladon imprison Deet.[5]
Deet was later escorted by paladins into a cage, despite Deet's protestations, attached to the Skeksis carriage. It then set off for the Castle of the Crystal, but was ambushed by Rian and his allies, with Lore freeing Deet and routing the Skeksis. Deet then hugged Rian for stopping the Skeksis long enough to free her, and while traveling into the Crystal Desert she reassured Brea that they would perform the burial ceremonies for Mayrin, singing a dirge together. Rek'yr later arrived, and she went with him to the Circle of the Suns.[6]
Arrival at the Circle of the Suns
Comforting an airsick Hup, Deet arrived at the base of the Circle of the Suns and was carried by Lore to its summit.[7]
