Daora's children (clockwise from top): Lukel, Adien, Daorn, and Kaise

Daora held the title of Kimess, indicating that she was a low-ranking member of the Arelene nobility.[6] She was married to an unnamed man in her youth and had two children, Lukel and Adien.[1] The marriage ended under unknown circumstances.

She met Kiin during the period that he was using the pseudonym Dreok Crushthroat. After a failed attempt to take the throne of Teod by force, he met and fell in love with Daora while recuperating in Arelon.[7] They soon had two children, Kaise and Daorn. Lukel and Adien were very close to Kiin; he adopted them[8] and they had father-son relationships.[1] Daora was aware of Kiin's history.[9]

About five years after the Reod, Adien was taken by the broken Shaod. Daora and Kiin were able to successfully hide his condition so that he would not be thrown into Elantris.[10]

Because of the rift in the Teo royal family, Sarene did not see Kiin for a decade, unaware that he was living in Arelon a short trip away from Teod.[4][1] She first met Daora and the children after she traveled to Arelon to marry Raoden; Kiin invited her to his house for dinner. She was surprised by Daora being a match for her boisterous uncle, but realized that Kiin had changed a great deal compared to the man she remembered from her youth.[1]

Daora was a member of member of Queen Eshen's embroidery group and was knowledgeable regarding the politics of the nobility.[5] She also participated in Sarene's fencing group.[11] At one point, Daora mistakenly believed that Sarene harbored a crush on Shuden; this confused Sarene since Daora was normally very perceptive.[4] However, Daora was actually picking up on Sarene's feelings towards 'Lord Spirit'.[12]

During the invasion of Arelon, Daora sheltered in the family's mansion with her children, with Lukel keeping guard.[9][13] The family survived the battle, and Adien became a restored Elantrian.[10]
