A self-assured, steadfast boy born into a tenuous privilege of the nouveau riche, blending English traditions with African heritage. As the family heir, he carries the weight of high expectations, with Society watching to see if he will sustain the family fortune or falter. The only person who truly understands him is his twin sister, Georgianna, they often see themselves as a single unit and their bond is unmatched. Together, they're facing the challenges of Hogwarts head-on, where Desmond is determined to fulfill his destiny, embracing the future with an optimism he doesn't just keep to himself, and with his twin sister right behind him.

For Desmond, I'm looking for:

Friends: Fellow schoolmates, especially first years. Desmond is a kid for whom skills come easily, but he's generally the first to cheer on his fellows when they show improvement. He's easily the builder in a group, gladly stepping aside from leadership to let someone else take the reins while he points out the strengths in other people. He's an optimist as well, so when the going gets tough it's Desmond that wants to get you going.

Rivals/Enemies: These might be a rare find, as Desmond is not a mean or jealous creature. Though it might be easy to find faults with Desmond, even ones he didn't create himself: his blood, his color, his (new) money, his talent; all eligible for someone to find themselves rubbed wrong by him. However, the worst yet might be if someone crosses his sister, for he is her fierce defender.

Other: I'm open to anything else, especially establishing background relationships with fellow upperclass students or teachers.

See Georgianna's Introduction for his sister, too!
