Personality and Traits
General Overview: Growing up on Betazed has made Des rather carefree and flirtatious, but being a mother has made her reign in a lot of her personality on a short leash. She is still a giant ray of sunshine and has a nice bedside manner, but when it comes to follow through on anything other than her job as a doctor and a mother, she tends to shy away, making her perhaps a bit of a tease. Des knows when to buckle down and can sometimes be described as a hard ass when she’s trying to get things done, especially in a red alert situation, where she is more likely to be short with people and expect them to simply do as told and as they should.

Strengths & Weaknesses: Des has a photographic memory and therefore knows a lot of ‘useless’ information, but it helps out as far as medical jargon is concerned. She is very authoritative and knows how to have a cool head in a tense situation, and she has a great bedside manner, even in a war type situation.

As she is empathic, Des sometimes feels conflicted by her own feelings with everyone elses’ and gets a bit cranky about it even though she can navigate through it. Her mother bear behavior more often than not gets on everyone’s nerves, but she normally doesn’t notice…or chooses not to care.

Ambitions: To run her own medical vessel after she’s done traveling about.

Hobbies & Interests: Des is an avid reader and loves to dance and sing. She and Clementine love to sing together when they have the time and because of Des, Clementine knows how to play more than one instrument. She enjoys spending time on the Holodeck with her daughter and experimenting with all sorts of molds, plants and even on hologram patients. Des has also written a few books that are out there in several forms, but not as popular as she wishes they were.

History
Personal History: Desdemona Hyde grew up on Betazed with her mother, always feeling out of place, having inherited the empathy but not the black irises. It is rare, but possible and while out in Starfleet it helped her to hide that she was half Betazoid so no one ever suspected her for mind reading or the like, it made her feel a bit like an outcast. Her father left when she was very young and come Starfleet Academy, she made the same mistakes as her mother, but she also got Clementine out of it and counted her blessings every day.

Ever since she was 4, Des had been drawn to experiments and her mother knew that she had to keep Starfleet as an avid option even though Des’ father had been in Starfleet and she always resented him walking out. Since she was such an information sponge, Des grew up in anticipation of being sent out to Starfleet Academy and when she got there, she devoted her time to studying…and to Wade Frost. She became a mother and still found a balance, which to some degree became just the balance that she knew that she needed.

Once she had graduated with high marks, she lucked out on several postings even with Clementine in tow and she became the best doctor that she could be. Part of it she attributed to her dedication, the other part to her want to be the best and she always found time to experiment and create and being a doctor and a mother simply became her life. She made her way to CMO and stopped climbing the achievement ladder so to speak, wanting to focus on helping and mothering and exploring to feel like she had as much out of life as she could possibly have.

Now, Des is determined to continue to prove that she is the best of the best and when she’s ready, she plans to petition Starfleet for her own medical vessel.
