Desdemona O'Sullivan was born to pure-blood Bláithín and Dermot O'Sullivan in their concealed home located in the Mourne Mountains. 
She grew up on the estate alongside her parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. She never left the estate until her time came to attend Hogwarts. Being shielded from the outside world in a hidden place she found great comfort in the outdoors, making her especially gifted at taking care of plants and animals. Due to her love of nature, the majority of their land was either home to gardens or the many pets they had. Her shyness and general love of solitude caused her to stay away from most of her folks.
Having her mother be skilled at potions piqued her interest for the subject. So whilst her younger siblings preferred bedtime stories, Desdemona preferred looking through all of her mother's countless books about potions.

Desdemona is a gentle, caring and kind person who prefers the company of plants and animals over that of humans or really anything that can talk. Instead of tough brain teasers, she prefers working out what fertiliser suits best or what tricks she can teach a puffskein. 
The only things she loves more than plants is sweets. The few trips to Hogsmeade have been largely spent in Honeydukes with her equally sweet-toothed grandmother. Whilst her mother never approved of the suitcase full of sweets that would be brought home she could never say no. Desdemona spent a lot of time with her grandmother and crafting their own weird confectionaries. She was the only person except for her mother that Desdemona really enjoyed being with. 

She tends to bottle up her emotions a lot and is afraid to speak out and is terrified of confrontation. She will usually let things slide, no matter how wrong or hurtful it was.
