Functionality:

Teacher and assistant to the Spartan Program

 

Déjà is a "dumb" AI who trained the Spartans in their first stages of training at the CASTLE Base and Reach Naval Academy facilities on Reach. She taught them terms such as Oly Oly Oxen Free. Her educational lessons were part of the Spartans training program, meant to increase their strategic thinking. She also educated them in history, mathematics, and other things most people are taught. In one of her first lessons, she taught the Spartan-IIs about the famous Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans made a stand against a quarter of a million Persians[3], another lesson was seven wolves taking down a moose by working as a team[4].

Her counterpart, Chief Petty Officer Mendez, gave the Spartans rigorous physical training to make them into soldiers. This, along with Dr. Catherine Halsey's physical augmentations and MJOLNIR armor, made the [Spartan]]s intelligent, strong, and fast.

Her current fate is unknown. As a "dumb" AI, her lifespan is nearly infinite. However, the fact that the Spartan-II Program ended with the first generation of Spartan-II's, means she may have been assigned to other duties. If not, then she may have been destroyed when the Covenant glassed Reach.

Déjà took on the form of an ancient goddess wearing Greek robes.
