Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Desdemona
Temper: Devoted

Though not shy by any means, Desdemona is a quiet filly. She gives the impression of being malleable and easily intimidated because she doesn't speak much, but few things could be further from the truth; she is actually quite stern and uncompromising, even from a very young age. Though she loves both of her parents unconditionally, she is drawn more toward her father and takes comfort from him, using him as her measuring stick for strength of character and adopting his strict moral code. She emulates him as best she can, and in doing so, earns many of his rare smiles. To say that she's a daddy's girl would be a vast understatement.

Her mother she looks upon with almost pity -- not because she thinks her weak or anything of the like, but because she was born into what Desdemona sees as a curse and therefore cannot make the choice herself as to whether or not she gives in to her bloodlust. Still, Desdemona loves her and will defend her fiercely to anyone who tries to speak ill of her. (The rest of her mother's family, however, Desdemona is not nearly as devoted to, and chooses to abstain from commenting on until she has met them and judged them herself.)

While Desdemona does experience pangs and an appetite for blood, she chooses not to indulge. She doesn't need it, as her mother does, and therefore it is a point of pride to her that she is able to resist through strength of will.

Very much her father's girl, she is stubborn and severely critical of those who don't meet up to her rigorous standards, the only exceptions to this being her immediate family. She is not a cruel mare, but she is not precisely friendly, either; what ground you get with Desdemona you must earn, but once you have her, she will be devoted to you for life.

Not Just A Pretty Face: I'd like someone to assume that just because Desdemona is generally quiet that she's biddable and easily cowed. She'd be quick to set them to rights, likely with a particularly scathing speech, and where it goes from there is up to whoever she's interacting with. Potentially a best friend?

Some Day This Pain Will Be Useful To You: Desdemona doesn't take it as well as she'd pretend that her parents split up, but you'd be hard pressed to get it out of her. She keeps her feelings bottled up inside where they can't hurt anyone but herself, knowing that those around her are suffering as well and feeling that it would be beneath her to burden them with her worries and troubles. For the people she loves, she'll take on their grief and burdens as best she can, but she refuses to reciprocate. It would be nice if someone managed to convince her to allow a little crack in her shell and let some of her feelings come out, but it'd be hard work. (This is probably better suited for a best friend figure than a family member, because she sees it as her duty to remain strong and be there for her family.)

Rise Above Temptation: I'd like to have Desdemona put in positions that tempt her, whether they be ones involving blood or those giving in to her tendency to stand on her moral supremacy and preach others into the ground. She can go too far and become too harsh, to the point where she becomes unkind and very nearly a bully, though she sees herself as helping make the other Soquili better for her efforts. If/When Laertes gets wind of this, he'll give her a stern talking to, but I'd still like to put Desdemona in some hairy positions and see how she comes out of them. (Best friend, potentially, and/or siblings and family members.)

+ to be added as plots develop and Desdemona grows. If you have a plot idea, feel free to post it here!

I'd like to offer up Persephone as a best friend for Desdemona. The small in thread rp was a lot of fun and I think with time they could become really adorable friends. I'm sort of in the same boat as you when it comes to roleplaying, but I would like to try with Persephone. If not roleplaying then I would definitely like to plot! =D If you are interested!

Persephone is nurturing at her core, so I can really see her being a good companion for her. Considering who her parents are I just see her being a good friend for her, she wouldn't judge, would be an epic listener, and of course, let her have time to be a little less guarded. =3

I'd definitely be interested! I'm going to be opening up RPs this weekend, since this is my first week of classes for the quarter and I want to focus on those to see how the pace of them go, but yes. <3 I'm all for seeing if they get along or not. We could do a trial RP and then if we like the interaction, start plotting for more later, maybe?

Hi there. :3 I would love for Risti to meet her cousin. I'm sure she'll meet all of them. She's gotten to know Jezabelle recently and I told Faith she could help out with the foals if Belle needed it. Not sure what's happening there, but I would still love for Risti to meet Desdemona at one point. <3
