Goals: Being proved not completely crazy by showing the town everything that’s been going on under their nose, so she can get permission to leave and go back to school.

General Personality: Desiree is someone who’s been put in an unfortunate situation and is on her last end. She’s tired, and irritable-- quick to snap and lose whatever short temper she has. Cynical and crude, she’s lost a lot of the spark that once made her determined and energetic. She’s still very determined, but a deep rooted resentment and pessimistic attitude drives her, rather than the want to understand and share. She does have moments, however, when the world seems light and like she doesn’t have to constantly fight for breath and life. In those moments, you can see the tenderness and genuine concern underneath her aggression. She’s, more than anything, scared and worried for those she cares about. She does, admittedly, have sudden bursts of paranoia and suspicion and distrust towards most people, and she’s easily frightened by big buzz words, despite her time working with media.

She got a full ride to Harvard for her dream career in investigative journalism, and went for it, without looking back. She was the top of her class, she was doing well, despite socially shutting off from most things. At the midterms of her second year, however, her mother passed on due to a heart attack, and she couldn’t bring herself to leave her studies and as a result missed her mother's funeral, and couldn’t be there when her father's health went into critical condition. Once finals hit, she had a severe mental breakdown that lead to her hospitalization for 2 years for paranoid and suicidal tendencies. After she got the clear to leave, with help from her sister-- she was asked to be watched over by her sister in negotiation for her release, officially signing her to her younger sister as a dependent. Being moved back to Caliente, she found herself stir crazy and flipping through the old books in the library, when she noticed the odd population burst. She did some more digging, spent time looking for clues, and came to the conclusion: magic and myth are real, and they’re taking over Caliente.
