Deira, from Saldaea, is married to Davram Bashere and has a daughter, Faile Bashere.

[edit] Appearance

She is a very large woman with long dark hair which is white at the temples and the large hook Saldaean nose.

[edit] Activities

She is very proud of her husband and rides behind the Saldaean army with all the other wives. She is utterly loyal to her husband only and is cold and untrusting of Rand al'Thor. She meets Perrin Aybara for the first time after he had married Faile in Caemlyn and afetr a few words with him she accepts him as part of the family.

Rand meets with Davram after he had been rescued from the White Tower Aes Sedai and Deira is present during this meeting. She is worried Rand will send her husband to his death and isn't convinced that the White Tower has not attached any strings to Rand during his kidnapping. When Rand initiates the attack on Illian he forbids Deira and the rest of the Saldaean wives from accompanying their husbands into battle, which she doesn't seem particularly happy about.

While camped outside Caemlyn, she is attacked and injured by robbers rummaging through her tent. The two escape but are found later dead outside the camp.
