Desdemona
18/grade 12
Desdemona is a slim girl with a heart-shaped face. Her hair is cut into a fuzzy mohawk style and shaved short at the sides. The long portion on top of her head is stark white, and the short sides are dyed black. She wears a black cutoff shirt and baggy black pants, with spiked cuffs on her wrists and black boots on her feet. Her eyes are a clear crystal blue. Most noticeable of all: her left arm is deformed, stopping a little past where the elbow would be.
"This is a load of bullcrap. My parents can't be DOGS. I'm going to talk to this headmaster and give him a freakin' piece of my mind."
{Special Talent/skill inherited from parents} Desdemona has a headstrong streak a mile long thanks to Lucky, and she also has a natural desire to lead others. She is quick-thinking and quick to grasp when she thinks others may be using her for their own ends.
{History: Desdemona grew up in a small middle-class home with two working parents. They were open-minded individuals, understanding their daughter's need to act and look different from others, knowing somehow it just came with the territory. She was actually placed into the same home as her brother from the animated world, Claudius, although all she knows is she has a younger brother with special needs whom she loves dearly.
Desdemona is a hard-working individual, who loves her parents and brother and is happy with the life she leads, knowing she's loved and cared for, so it's a shock when she receives the letter that states her real parents are actually two Dalmatians from a Disney movie. To be more specific, Lucky and Two-Tone. Desdemona, unlike most others thus far is completely outraged by the idea. Who do these people think they are, coming in and telling her her parents aren't really her parents at all but "placeholders"? The idea that disturbs her most is that this might mean Claudius isn't her real brother at all. No, this does not sit well with Desdemona. Not at all.
Still, it's a chance to go to a nice college and her parents urge her to go, so she accepts grudgingly, thinking that the first chance she gets to talk to this mysterious "headmaster" she will.
{Likes – At Least 3} Her little brother, seeing new places, the colors black and white
{Dislikes – At Least 3} The idea that her life as is may be a complete sham, jerks who tease her about her odd appearance and deformed arm, anything happening to Claudius
{Fun Facts}
Clear blue eyes had lit up with shock and disbelief. The hand that held the paper had begun to shake wildly, and her parents were beginning to stare.
"Desdemona? Honey what's wrong?"
"T...This..." Now teeth were gritting together. No,noonononono. How DARE these..these total strangers just write out of nowhere and tell her that..... "What's wrong honey, what does it say?" Her mother was concerned, drawing closer to try to look, but Desdemona tightened her grip and yanked it away.
"It's nothing Mom. Just a bunch of stupid nonsense." She wadded it up and threw it in the trash. "Honey let me see it!! It might be something important." Her mother picked up the wadded ball of paper, unfolding it slowly and squinting at it.
"No!! Mom it's....it's nothing.." Desdemona lunged forward with her free hand, trying to grab it before her mother read those horrible words, but it was too late. She squinted for a long moment at it before looking up at her daughter. "Des honey this is wonderful!! This is an acceptance letter from a college!!! I was so worried we weren't going to be able to afford college for you!!"
Desdemona dropped her hands, staring at her mother blankly. "....huh?"
"Why did you try to throw this away honey this is amazing!!! You should take this chance, take every opportunity you get!! Who KNOWS when you'll get an offer like this again!!"
Desdemona frowned, looking at her mother scrutinously. Clearly her mother hadn't seen what she saw. But there was no dissuading her once she learned about this so-called college, and Desdemona was forced to resign and pack up to go. After all it was college, and she needed it.
