Dec. 4th, 2018 06:01 pm Personality: Desdemona is so much more than her good looks and seductive mannerism. She can be a caring and righteous person but also quite fierce and unforgiving, if you happen to get on her bad side. She will not take kindly to anyone threatening or mocking those she loves, and will quickly relent.
On her more positive side, Desdemona has worked hard to become someone people can rely on. She is always willing to help out without wanting much in return. Many would say she inherited those traits from her mother Sylvia.
To some she might come across as cold or distant, but deep down she is a woman who wants to experience something good in the middle of all the bad in her life. She can be a hopeless romantic, especially if she really likes someone. Her soft, loving side will come out once she has developed a genuine connection and trust with the other person. There might be caution from her side at times.
She also makes for an eager, irreplaceable and no-nonsense partner out on the field. Something her friend (and love interest) Hobbs knows very well. For example, they were hired to rescue a witness named Michael who worked at a strip club. They got him out after fighting off a few men determined to capture Michael and make sure he'll never make it to the witness stand.
Desdemona distracted the men while Hobbs used his strength to knock them down. It's something she'll do often, before joining the fight herself. She loves the adrenaline rush of a good fight.
Positive traits:
Wits: She is clever and able to adapt in all kinds of situations. She's also good at disguises. Desdemona has used close to a 100 different identities during her missions. She's also skilled at tracking down criminals and other shady characters.
Desdemona has extensive knowledge in driving and fixing vehicles as well. Something she learned at an old friends' garage.
Negative traits:
Bravery: Sometimes she will go into risky situations without hesitation, if she thinks it'll help in her mission. This has gotten her into near-death situations quite a few times. This can also come across as being forward and crass at times, as she's so focused on the end goal that she doesn't always think rationally.
Stubbornness: Links to the trait mentioned above. You can try to dissuade her but it might prove quite a difficult task. When she wants something, she will go to great lengths to achieve it. Whether it's a potential partner, a goal or an object.
Vengefulness: The moment she heard about her brother's disappearance, she immediately went after those she believed to be linked to it, not afraid to use illegal methods if it comes to it. In some occasions she will infiltrate into her arch enemy's gang to gain additional information and sabotage their operations.
