"I do take after Father."
―Weechee[1]

Deej was a brown-furred[2] Ewok male who lived in Bright Tree Village as part of the Bright Tree tribe on the Forest Moon of Endor.[1] The Ewok was an accomplished hang-glider pilot.[2] Deej and another Ewok were the parents to four children: Weechee, Widdle Warrick, Wicket Warrick, and Winda. At some point, Wicket helped his father dig borra pits.[1]

One winter[1] between 1 BBY and 4 ABY,[3] Deej and a hunting party left the village in order to obtain essential supplies. Weechee was able to convince his father to let him come with, which made Wicket, who was younger, jealous. Wicket was watching when Deej and the party came back with their spoils, which included a large kublag and brub berries. Later that day, Weechee told his young brother he felt he took after Deej, noting he was very strong.[1]

Shortly after the Battle of Endor[4] in 4 ABY,[5] some of the Bright Tree tribe, including Deej, held a gathering with the tribe's neighbors in Bright Tree Village to decide the forest's future. During the gathering, Deej spent time with their family.[4] When Weechee and Wicket went hunting, Weechee wore one Deej's old cloaks. Deej wore snowshoes while traveling in the snow.[1] On Endor, Deej donned hooded brown clothing,[2] and also at one point wore a purple cowl.[4]
