Deanna carries the years plainly: in her ruddy cheeks, her worn joints, and the strength that labor has built into her. Barefoot in a garden, she feels both rooted and unyielding, a woman who has endured hard ground without losing her connection to it.

Eighteen years older than Darrow, Deanna bears the physical cost of a life shaped by the mines, though she has grown stronger since leaving the world below. She appears working barefoot in a garden, a grounded image of persistence and life continuing through hardship. The book gives little further detail about her story or relationships.
Description
Deanna is a Red woman eighteen years older than Darrow, with ruddy cheeks and a visibly weathered look. Years of mining have worn her joints, but her body is stronger than it was when she lived below. She is shown barefoot and at work in a garden, dressed simply for the task. Her presence feels practical and grounded, marked by endurance rather than polish.
