School/Occupation: Horizon Institute for Technology and Science (HITS)
Hobbies:
Pop Culture — Specifically the Asian variety. K-pop, K-dramas, C-dramas, anime, manga, manhwa, and manhua occupy a frankly unreasonable amount of her downtime. She happily, and very easily, bounces between shows and comics depending on her mood. She created a spreadsheet to help her keep track of what she's currently working through, which she also uses as a reference to then write her thoughts and ratings for each show or comic on a blog. While her main interests are in Asian media, she's willing to try just about anything from anywhere if someone makes a convincing enough case for it.
Dancing — She's been dancing since before she could even walk, and has been enrolled for classes at dance studios for as long as she can remember. She has a more traditional foundation in ballet and jazz, though she later branched into hip-hop before eventually developing a firm preference for pop and deciding to focus specifically on that. She's since moved to a studio that specializes in it, where she mostly signs up for classes that teach K-pop style choreography.
Gaming — She gravitates towards games that give her plenty to do on top of the main storyline, but she isn't particularly loyal to any one genre. That said, she mostly plays RPGs and MMORPGs, but then she's also gotten into gachas, MOBAs, various FPS, simulation games, and even puzzle games over the years. She's not especially picky, so if someone recommends something to her she's usually willing to give it a try regardless of what kind of game it is.
YouTube: Let's Plays — Specifically the faceless, no-commentary variety, because that felt safest—and also because her dad said absolutely not otherwise. She records and uploads her gameplay mostly for fun, though she's still meticulous about making her videos clean and watchable. She has no aspirations of becoming a content creator or building a following; still, her videos are modestly popular and she enjoys engaging with regular viewers in the comments section once in a while.
Virtues:
Considerate — Desiree pays attention to the people around her and makes a conscious effort to consider their feelings alongside and sometimes even over her own. She has a good sense of when to give someone space and when to offer support, though that's not to say that she always knows what to say or do. She gets that sometimes there's absolutely nothing she can do, and in those cases she just does her best to let them know that she's around if they need someone.
Open-minded — Desiree loves to learn and have new experiences, so she's incredibly receptive to unfamiliar things and perspectives. She's generally willing to give something—or someone—a fair chance before deciding how she feels. She's always asking for recommendations from people, whether it involves one of her hobbies or is something completely unrelated to her, and very rarely dismisses something simply because it isn't immediately her thing. Once she decides, though, her opinion is likewise very difficult to change.
Self-motivated — Desiree has always been a self-starter, especially when something genuinely interests her, and she rarely needs anyone else pushing her to pursue it. This manifests most clearly in her performance at school, because she genuinely loves to learn, though it shows in her hobbies as well. She's a strong believer in slow and steady, consistent progress, and is perfectly capable of setting her own goals and dedicating time and effort to achieving them.
Flaws:
Distractible — Desiree can struggle with focusing on things that are tedious or simply unappealing to her. During those times, she has a tendency to become completely absorbed in whatever else happens to catch her attention, usually at the expense of what she was actually supposed to be doing. A quick distraction can turn into an hours-long detour, which may or may not work in her favor depending on what's involved. She's found fun games this way, but has also gotten a long lecture from her dad in the same way.
Impulsive — Desiree is sometimes quicker to act on an idea than she is to think things all the way through. Or even part of the way through. When something new and interesting presents itself to her, excitement and curiosity can easily get the better of her, leading her to make decisions in the moment and push off dealing with the practical details until later. Fortunately, for all the things her impulses have led her to do, they don't tend toward anything overly adventurous or outright reckless.
Overcommitted — Desiree persistently underestimates how much time all of her interests actually require, between school, dance, her shows, and her games. She's prone to taking on whatever else because it sounds interesting, or because someone asked for her help, and is fully convinced she has room for it somewhere without actually thinking through her schedule. She can be stretched super thin as a result, but even still she struggles to let things go until she's forced to admit that she absolutely can't anymore.

Knight Title: Schönbrunn Page of Ganymede
Wonder Description: N/A
Uniform: WIP
Weapon & Magic
Page: Folding Fan – A folding fan made from pale sandalwood and paper, decorated with a delicate painted design that's more detailed than seems appropriate for something that looks a bit like an inexpensive keepsake.
Squire: War Fan – A larger folding fan with polished metal ribs and rich fabric, accented with intricate detailing in the metal and decorated with a delicate but ornate painted design across the fabric. It's sturdy and functional if a bit grandiose, with its elaborate design giving it the appearance of a particularly extravagant fashion accessory.
Magic:
Schönbrunn sweeps her fan through the air, releasing a shimmering mist of richly scented perfume throughout a 10ft radius around her. Enemies who smell the perfume experience a hallucination brought on by its scent, tailored to their own idea of extravagance or indulgence. Regardless of what they see, the hallucination is both distracting and somewhat difficult to look away from. The hallucinations will persist so long as Schönbrunn is channeling her magic.
She has a magic pool of 45 seconds. The mist and hallucinations disappear as soon as she stops channeling.
Knight Weapon: Gilded War Fan – A larger and considerably fancier fan, constructed from polished metal embellished with intricate gilded filigree and jeweled accents, and luxurious, patterned fabric decorated with a painted design that is delicate and tasteful, if extravagantly ornate. Lavish but beautiful, it's surprisingly functional as an actual fan despite its rather opulent appearance.
Magic:
Schönbrunn sweeps her fan through the air, releasing a shimmering mist of richly scented perfume throughout a 15ft radius around her. Enemies who smell the perfume experience a hallucination brought on by its scent, tailored to their own idea of extravagance or indulgence. Regardless of what they see, the hallucination is both distracting and particularly difficult to look away from. Prolonged exposure to the perfume will cause enemies to experience sensations ranging from mildly burning nostrils and difficulty breathing to headaches or nausea, while prolonged focus on the hallucination will cause those affected to experience a stinging or burning sensation in their eyes. The hallucinations will persist so long as Schönbrunn is channeling her magic.
She has a magic pool of 60 seconds. The mist and hallucinations disappear as soon as she stops channeling. Sensations caused by her magic may linger at player discretion.
