Desdemona, affectionately referred to as "Dee" by her parents, is a rather normal girl. She is playful, sarcastic, and a bit bratty. She loves getting her way, and she isn't afraid to tell others what she thinks. Some people take one look at her and think she's a basic bully, but while she is blunt she could never bring herself to be mean to another person. She's very sensitive, and she takes everything others say to heart. She has a hard time being generous, since she learned from a young age that you have to take what you've got, a result of her growing up in a household with three older siblings. She thinks of her magic not as a weapon or an art form, but more as a tool to be used whenever she sees fit.

Dee is average height, with long, curly blonde hair and blue eyes.

Dee was born to an upper-middle class family in Winscombe, England. She has a rather large family, with five other siblings, only one of which is female. Her mother is a witch, but her father is a muggle. Only two of her siblings are also magical: one of her older brothers and her younger sister.

Dee's magic first surfaced when she was very angry at another girl when she was a very young age. The girl took her blocks without asking, and when she wouldn't give them back, Dee made several of them float.
