A rather witty person with a very charming personality to add, she can be a social butterfly and easily mingling with people, either strangers or acquaintances to people she feels close to. The charming smile she display shows her lady-likeness, but also shows the inner kindness she has, especially towards her students and fellow teachers. Nevertheless, she takes arts as her greatest passion and would abhor any disrespect shown towards the subject. Strict when it comes to her lessons and yet friendly to her students outside of the classroom, it's no wonder on why Desiree is one of most favored teachers in the academy. To her fellow teachers, especially towards the men, she can be quite seductive if she wanted to be.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Desiree was born in pureblood family, and as such, her upbringing had been rather strict. Being the oldest of her siblings, she had the most expectations of her parents and had always tried to excel to meet with them ever since she was a little girl. She had been going along with their wishes; even to accepting the invitation to Beauxbatons Academy though she was thrilled to be even invited by such a prestigious magical academy. She had always been trying to make her parents as happy as she could with getting excellent grades in her classes to even joining some extra-curricular activities along the way. She was quite popular in the academy though, gaining friends and getting brilliant grades to even in sports.<br/><br/>Throughout her life, from childhood to being an adolescent and then a young adult, Desiree had always been very obedient towards her parents without really knowing what she really wanted for herself. It was only when she finally graduated and finally branched out into the outer world that Desiree found her calling. She had always been interested in music, but realizing on how sheltered she was, especially to the world where the Muggles live, she decided to explore there after her graduation. Her discovery there almost made her mind exploded and somehow, during her discovery of herself, she found her passion in arts and decided to pursue it.<br/><br/>When she did returned home to her family and confronted them in knowing on what she would like to pursue, her parents were definitely not thrilled and seemed rather appalled at the idea. Desiree was born in a pureblood family of witches and wizards after all, and despite being gifted in the arts of magic, her parents expected her to follow in their footsteps. Nevertheless, she had moved out from her family's home and estate in France, still very keen on pursuing her passion and decided to live on her own.<br/><br/>It was very rough for the young woman for a few years but she somehow managed to make living for herself in the Muggle world as a freelance artist. It was only when she heard her old academy was looking to hire an arts teacher and she decided to try her luck. To her surprise, she was accepted and she taught there ever since. She had been teaching there for two years now and she now looked forward to her third year of teaching.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Arts and crafts; espresso, novels, poetry, dancing, well-made clothes, jewellery, good wine, students who genuinely are interested in her subject and her Siberian Husky.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Disrespect towards her or any of her fellow teachers, disrespect for the arts, cockiness, people who looks down on muggles and half-blood (she really despise this kind of attitude), laziness in her class<br/><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>Timeless</strong></span></div>
