Desdra was a journeywoman then master healer late in the Sixth Pass.
Desdra tended Masterhealer Capiam through his bout of the feline-caused flu plague and assisted him in finding and procuring blood serum, as well as enough needlethorn for everyone on Pern.
Between the time of the loss of Moreta and the hatching of Orlith's eggs, Desdra became a Master.
Personality and traits[]
Desdra was thoughtful of others' needs and aware of their movements, offering small acts of kindness that others usually recognized as something that was most probably undertaken by her on their behalf.
