Character
Dedyet transformed from a glamorous queen to an archaeologist after years in isolation.
Once a glamourous queen during her reign in Egypt, Dedyet went through a huge personality change after the de Nile family were separated during a takeover by Cleo's uncle.
Separated from the rest of her family, Dedyet found herself inside a tomb, waiting for word of her family's safety. With nothing else to do, she took to reading books from the adjoining library.
It was reading about ancient Egypt and how archaeologists discovered ancient artefacts and shared them with the world that inspired her to take up archaeology herself.
She also lost interest in the lush lifestyle she had used to live, and felt more comfortable wearing older clothing and not bothering with styling and make up.
Dedyet is described as looking like an older version of Cleo in both the book and the diaries.
