Devona is quite serious and direct in her dealings with others. She aspires to be a great Warrior, just like her father. At times this aspiration turns into a tremendous internal pressure to succeed. Devona's father was one of the leaders of Ascalon's Chosen, a prestigious and well-respected guild. He died defending the city walls against a raid by an Orrian guild during the last Guild War. Devona was only a little girl at the time, but since that day, she has dedicated her life to mastering the martial arts of sword and hammer.

Devona is the level-headed leader of the party. She always assesses a situation before rushing in, which sometimes puts her at odds with the brash Cynn. Despite her restraint and control, Devona has a temper, and it can get the best of her. She would sacrifice her own life to save the life of a friend, and she frequently puts herself in harm's way to protect those who travel with her. Devona has a deep sense of loyalty and duty. To her, there would be no greater honor than to follow in the footsteps of her father and give her life defending that which is most dear to her.

— The Guild Wars Manuscripts

Devona is labeled as a "Fighter Henchman".

[edit] Dialogues

[edit] Prophecies

Towns and outposts:

"When I was young, my father was a member of Ascalon's Chosen. Now I too am a member of that same guild. There is nothing I won't do for my comrades, no risk I won't take for a friend. There is little I hold in higher regard than loyalty."

Lakeside County:

Courage is the true hallmark of an Ascalon. That's what I believe. My father died defending the Great Wall, and if I have the chance, I'll do the same.
Is there something you'd like to talk about?

The Deserters: This is the time for bold deeds, not words. (bubble)

Lion's Gate:

"My father used to cross the Shiverpeaks often when he served in the Vanguard for the King of Ascalon. Those days are long past, though my memories of him have never faded. As Prince Rurik led the refugees from Ascalon across the mountains, I felt for the first time I was walking in the footsteps of my father. I hope he is watching me from the Mists and is proud of what I have become. And if he isn't, he will be soon enough... for I will crush these undead beneath my hammer, and each of them so destroyed shall bring further the glory of our family!"

North Kryta Province: There's been a lot of talk about these Shining Blade bandits. We should keep an eye out for the scum. (bubble)

Skyward Reach

"This is the time for bold deeds, not words."

Droknar's Forge (explorable area)

"I think my father would be pleased, you know? Watching from the Mists...proud that I am his daughter."

[edit] Factions

Kaineng City towns and outposts:

"When I was a child, my father used to tell me great tales of passing over the Shiverpeaks when he served with Ascalon's Chosen. My father would never believe I came all the way to Cantha to help fight a war against this great plague. I hope he can see me from the mists and is proud of me. Every enemy crushed beneath my hammer is another tribute to his memory."

Echovald Forest towns and outposts:

"Just look at the beauty the Kurzicks have brought into this forest. It's no wonder they protect it from the Luxons. Enough talk, we should look to the task at hand."

Divine Path:

"It was a tough fight, was it not?"

[edit] Nightfall

Towns and outposts:

"I wasn't kidding when I said this would be a lot of work. Back in Tyria, my father died protecting people like the Istani. I'm going to live up to his memory, and show them what it means to be a real Warrior. The Kournans could do with a dose of honor, justice, and respect. Right in the face."

Throne of Secrets:

"I can't believe you confronted a god...and won! I've never heard anything like it."

[edit] Eye of the North

Far Shiverpeaks towns and outposts:

"Hail, friend. I am glad to have you by my side up here. The Norn are colder than snow."

Charr Homelands towns and outposts:

"The Charr are our greatest enemies... and possibly, against these destroyers, our strongest allies. But I will not forgive them for what they have done to our homeland. They will pay."

Tarnished Coast towns and outposts:

"Hold on, friend. You can't just run off and start fighting. If you don't have a plan, at least carry a big hammer."

Central Transfer Chamber:

"I don't like dungeons. They're too... low. I keep hitting my head on rock formations."

Epilogue:

"I remember the day a young hero came to Ashford trying to make a difference in the world. We've all come a long way since the innocent days of protecting people from bees."

[edit] Eye of the North

"Act without hesitation. Fight without mercy. Live without regret."
"Battle brings back memories, but they can be painful. I dreamed about my father again last night."

[edit] Notes

  • Devona's personality seemed to change as she progressed through the campaigns - she seemingly had less of a noble and honourable edge during Factions and developed even more of an attitude in Nightfall. In this sense she is the most developed character, personality-wise, in the Guild Wars universe.
  • Devona also appears in many Guild Wars stories.
Anomaly Anomaly.
She will still use "Charge!" in the Imperial Sanctum and Raisu Palace missions in Factions.

[edit] Trivia

  • Devona is one of the only five (the other four being Cynn, Aidan, Eve and Mhenlo) characters to appear in all 3 campaigns and the expansion.
  • Before the Searing, Devona was a captain in the Ascalon Army.
  • Devona's quote "I've hammered all over this land" is a possible reference to the 1963's song [W:If I Had a Hammer|If I Had a Hammer]] by Trini Lopez.
  • Devona's "For Ascalon and the Wall!" quote is also used by Gwen in Guild Wars Eye of the North.
  • Devona wields a Foehammer in the game, but in the early Guild Wars lore and concept art, she is depicted and described as a sword warrior. Additionally, in the opening cinematic of the Prophecies campaign, she is shown to be dual-wielding a pair of swords, leading many players to hope that this would eventually be an ability in-game.
  • Her henchman skills were updated in the 22nd October 2009 update.
