Dekiri is a faun cleric dedicated to the worship of Dionysus, the god of wine, festivity, and theater. With a life steeped in the rituals and revelries of their deity, Dekiri embodies the essence of Dionysian worship. Their appearance is striking, with the lower half of a goat, complete with cloven hooves and fur that transitions from a deep chestnut at the legs to a lighter brown on the torso. Their upper body is human-like, adorned with a simple, flowing robe that bears the symbols of Dionysus—grapevines and theatrical masks. Dekiri's face is framed by wild, curly hair that matches the fur of their legs, and their eyes are a vibrant green, reflecting the life and passion they devote to their god.

Dekiri's life is intertwined with tragedy, as they are married to Hyphema, a maenad whose fervor for Dionysus often leads her into frenzied states that distance her from Dekiri. The cleric's heart aches for a deeper connection with their wife, yet the chaotic nature of maenad worship keeps them apart. In their quest for unity, Dekiri turns to their faith, organizing grand festivals and rituals in hopes of drawing Hyphema closer. These efforts bring moments of joy and closeness, but they are fleeting, overshadowed by Hyphema's unpredictable nature.

Despite the challenges, Dekiri remains steadfast, their unique trait being a melodic voice that can soothe even the most restless of spirits. This voice, often used in hymns and chants, is a tool they wield in their ongoing struggle to maintain their family and faith. The conflicts in Dekiri's life are manifold—from the internal battle to reconcile their love for Hyphema with the demands of their worship, to the external pressures of leading their community through celebrations that often teeter on the edge of chaos.

As the story unfolds, Dekiri's attempts to bridge the gap with Hyphema through their shared devotion to Dionysus are met with varying degrees of success. Yet, the underlying tragedy of their situation persists, culminating in a poignant realization that some divides are too vast to close, even with the power of love and faith. Dekiri's journey is one of acceptance, learning to find peace in the chaos of their life, cherishing the moments of connection, and continuing to serve Dionysus with unwavering dedication.
