Over-energized, over-vigilant and over-intrusive, Dez is exactly who you'd think of when it comes to bad behavior. She gets away with it because she's the youngest by ten frickin' years. Our parents were just too exhausted to bother rearing a fourth child. Even when they do, they can't agree on what to let slide or when to put their foot down.

She has a promising career as a soccer player or a kick-boxer, anything having to do with kicking balls or doing some kind of physical harm. She might even be an espionage agent. She tends to put her nose where it doesn't belong.

I don't know how a 7-year-old would even know to peel off her skin and find the insectisona underneath. But she did it. She also burned the evidence of her former existence. I can barely live with the little orc, but I have to admire her audacity.
