Personality: Many might call Des dark and twisted, but she would call herself a opportunist. She likes to take advantage of opportunities that come her way, and if manipulation is apart of that, so be it. She is a quiet woman and fairly reserved.
Ever since the death of her parents, Des' s anger seems to present itself more often. However, she never pushes her anger at her brother. She is incredibly loyal to Castile and would lay her life for him if necessary. Des puts her brother up on a pedestal, believing that he can't do anything wrong.
Des has a dominating personality. She enjoys telling people what to do, and criticizing them for their faults. She's well known for giving compliments that somehow seem like insults. She doesn't smile very often, and so her face tends to seem indifferent, bored or angry throughout the day. She enjoys starting rumors and meddling in her brother's affairs. Some might call her a controlling woman, but she considers herself a natural leader.
History: Desdemona is the second born daughter to the Duc Nicolas de Bonnel of Kusheth and his wife Celin de Frontenac of l'Agnace. She was born 10 years after Castiel de Bonnel. She learned at a very early age that a cruel and usual personality got her everything she wanted. She also learned that she didn't need to take such measures when it came to her family. It came natural to her to hurt others physically or emotionally. She usually kept some of her actions separate from her family, but she didn't try to hide who she was. Desdemona felt little remorse for those who were hurt under her actions, surely it was their fault for allowing it to happen? Her outside actions usually include criticizing, insults, whipping the servants, social manipulation, mind games and cons.
Des was taught the typical academics by several tutors: philosophy, history, etiquette, hosting, mathematics, politics, and literature. Des found politics to be the most interesting subject. She found a passion for it early on. She also took lessons in playing the piano and harp. One of her favorite past times were playing the harp or the piano for her family at home. She took dancing lessons when she was 10, and learned that she was pretty good at it. She also found that she enjoyed dancing alone better than dancing with a partner. She usually had a problem having a man lead her.
When her parents died in a carriage accident, she was heartbroken. However, she never emotionally grieved for the loss- she just withdrew inside of herself. Her parents death caused her to enjoy hurting others even more. And her anger towards the world has grown substantially. She wasn't excited when her brother told her that they would be moving into the city of Elua. She especially didn't like his goal of finding a wife. As far as she was concerned, no one would be good enough for him- except her. She reluctantly followed him and settled into their home in Elua, secretly coming up with anyway to break up her brother's future romantic relationships.
