History

Early Life

Desi was born into a upper class family, her mother being the CFO of Enperry and father being a world-famous artist. At the age of 4, she met Emperor at a private school they both attended, where they became close friends. When she turned 14, she was employed by Enperry to model their latest clothing lines in magazines. This line of work would often lead to her to travel to other regions of Inkadia, often causing her to be away from her friends. At an unspecified time, she got in a relationship with Emperor.

In the Splatoon manga

While on a break from her modelling, she was in the audience, watching the final battle between Team Emperor and Team Blue. She was shocked and enthralled to see Team Blue's victory. She parted ways with Emperor as he went on his self-discovery journey, often missing him. She later reunites with Emperor during the Square King Ranked Cup, where he temporarily takes the place of an injured Specs. After the final battle against X-Blood, her and Emperor would often meet up after his shifts at the Crust Bucket.

In Coroika Futures

Prior to the events of Coroika Futures, she married Emperor and had a daughter with him. She has since retired from her modelling career, often staying home.

Relationships

Mother

Desi has a close relationship with her mother, affectionately calling her "mama". They would often share strawberry parfaits when she was a young child. Her mother gave her the opportunity to work as a model for Enperry due to her positioning, and she is immensely grateful for everything her mom has done for her.

Emperor

Emperor is the closest person to Desi. They first met in primary school, where she was having trouble with finding something. Overcoming her shyness, she introduced herself after thanking him. Following that, their parents would often arrange playdates between the two friends. Desi would soon catch romantic feelings for him. Confessing her feelings to him was very scary for her, as she was not sure how he would react. To her surprise, Emperor already knew about her feelings and reciprocated them, bringing joy to her heart.

Prinz

She has a good relationship with Prinz, knowing him since he was young.

N-Pacer

Desi has a close relationship with N-Pacer, often meeting up to have tea together.

Squidkid Jr.

Her relationship with Squidkid Jr. is positive, although sometimes he can startle her with his overexcitable personality.

Team Blue

Her relationship with Team Blue is minor, as their only interactions are due to Emperor joining their team. Like others, she believes their team is quite dumb, but admires their ability to have fun while battling.
