Profile
Appearance
Direidyth is a young woman with short ash brown hair adorned with one white and light blue flower hairpin on the left side, and two on her right side, reminiscent of the Inteyvat. Her eyes are violet with distinct star-shaped pupils, a trait associated with individuals from Khaenri'ah. She wears a white and blue dress with long, flared sleeves and geometric detailing along the hem. A darker blue asymmetrical layer with gold accents and diamond motifs wraps over the dress, secured by a gold belt-like design at her waist. Her outfit is completed with black cross-laced shoes and a short dagger sheathed at her side.
Story
Direidyth was a Khaenri'ahn native that lived around the time of the Cataclysm. She had grown up enamored with her grandmother's stories of a Savior who would rescue Khaenri'ahns from all their pain and suffering that would come with a prophesied "doomsday." Direidyth also frequently dreamed of meeting the Savior. As the predicted doomsday approached, her grandmother urged her to leave the village and search for the Savior.[4]
While fleeing Abyssal monsters, she became part of a superimposition of Khaenri'ah from her time onto present-day Natlan's spacetime, created by Istaroth taking advantage of the Traveler's Sibling activating the Loom of Fate 500 years later.[5] She eventually traveled to the present day Collective of Plenty. This superimposition permitted her to meet the Traveler, even though they were displaced in time from one another by 500 years. Retreating to a cave, Direidyth told the Traveler that she was pursued by monsters, but the Traveler couldn't see them because they were from Direidyth's spacetime. Since they had not yet realized that a time displacement had occurred, they did not understand why the monsters weren't visible, but they soon discovered that joining hands allowed the Traveler to see and fight them. The Traveler protected Direidyth from the monsters, fulfilling their role in her dreams and earning her lasting gratitude.[4]
Direidyth later witnessed the Celestial attack against Khaenri'ah, and took the Traveler's hand so that they could see it as well. She realized that she and the Traveler weren't from the same time, and as thanks for their protection, promised to tell their Sibling about their encounter when she eventually finds them. Moments later, the Traveler's Sibling from the present emerged from a portal to speak to the Traveler, but as Direidyth was frozen in time, she did not remember this incident. Direidyth continued her search, taking the Key to the "Hibernation Chamber" with her as a token to verify her story when she meets the Savior of Khaenri'ah.[5][Note 1]
Direidyth eventually found the Traveler's Sibling from her own time as the Cataclysm unfolded, and told them about her meeting with the Traveler, showing the key as proof. Her story prompted them to abandon Khaenri'ah in its time of need to seek out the Traveler, eventually finding them still within their Hibernation Chamber, with their key inside.[5]
In the present day, the Traveler is patrolling the area near the Collective of Plenty when they find the cave where Direidyth's adventure with the Traveler had begun. (From the Traveler's perspective, they had not yet met her.) A Hilichurl flees the cave, leaving behind the key to the Hibernation Chamber Direidyth had received. It is implied that the Hilichurl is Direidyth, eventually having succumbed to "curse of the wilderness" inflicted by Celestia. Moments later, the Traveler encounters the time-displaced Direidyth, closing the stable time loop.[5]

Notes
- ↑ Just before the Traveler's Sibling arrives, the player has the choice to give the key to Direidyth, or attempt to break the stable time loop by keeping it. If the player chooses to keep it, the Sibling will maintain the loop by leaving the key in their possession with Direidyth instead.
