Appling for Dekka Talent

[ilLUZtrious]

Dekka Talent is a fourteen-year-old African American girl with the ability to remove gravity in a little space of area, causing everything in that area to be lifted into the air. She was one of the Coates prisoners who was saved by Sam and the others.
Dekka is a very internal person, she doesn't like to talk about herself, and especially not about her thoughts and feelings, and because of this, people often takes her for being threatening and scary, even though she is not. But she's tough,she's always there to help, also in dangerous situations, and she wouldn't have Lana to heal the scars she had after being kicked in the face by Drake. Sam thinks of Dekka as an ally and in Hunger thinks of her as possible leader of the FAYZ if he dies. Dekka was sent to Coates Academy by her shocked parents due to lesbian activity. Dekka is in love with Brianna , but doesn't dare to tell her.

Dekka was nearly killed by coyotes near the end of Hunger, while defending Edilio from them, but Lana saved her.

In Lies, Nerezza describes Dekka as 'fat black lesbian,' telling Zil to attack her. Dekka's hair is styled in cornrows, and she has a nose ring.

In Plague. Dekka was, in fact, infected at one point and Sam did burn them out of her. But, later in the book, Dekka reveals that she was infected, and she will die. But, Sam ends up doing some last-minute surgery on her and, with the help of Lana, she lives. Dekka, thinking she was about to die, also confessed her feelings to Brianna, who, near the end of the book, seemed to be unsure of how to react.
