A reptilian denizen of Black Marsh, Deeja looks fairly typical for one of her kind. Her leathery skin and scales are a dark shade of green, with yellow warpaint on her neck, flecks of white and yellow on her face, olive yellow eyes with slit pupils, six small horns on the top of her head, and a scar underneath her left eye. Deeja and her brother Jaree-Ra were members of a notorious gang of criminals known as the Blackblood Marauders. The Blackbloods were once a pirate fleet capable of raiding large ships, but after a cave-in trapped their ships in Broken Oar Grotto, the crew resorted to marauding. The gang continued to plague the people of Solitude after this setback. In contrast with her somewhat charming and charismatic brother, Deeja is shown to be very antisocial and quick to threaten violence on people who pester her. If approached by Greta, Deeja will snap "Shoo! Go away! You get nothing from me!" or "You bother me again, maybe you will not walk away, understand?!" She treats the Dragonborn similarly if spoken to before crashing the ship in Lights Out!, becoming increasingly annoyed with every attempt the player makes to initiate a conversation and eventually threatening to stab them if they don't stop talking to her. Her arrogant and sadistic nature are shown briefly when she tries to kill the Dragonborn without any of her readily available Blackbloods in the room to back her up, likely believing that it would be as simple as drawing a knife across their throat. She sounds thrilled to lay her plan bare to the Dragonborn, even laughing in their face when asked about splitting the loot. Judging by her cavalier attitude, this likely wasn't her first time tying up a loose end for the Blackbloods.
