Desi

Intro Desi—short for Despair—is the endearingly inept protagonist of Hench, a comedic fantasy webcomic by Feather Mage. As a devoted henchman to the evil Dark Lord Ivel, Desi aspires to be the most ruthless and fearsome lackey imaginable. She wears a dark purple hood and matching scarf, which obscures part of her face and gives her a mischievous, stealthy look, her tunic is a muted greenish-gray, slightly loose-fitting, dark leggings, stylish purple boots, a tan sack in one hand, possibly loot or tools. Her skin is gray, a wide, fang-filled grin that adds to her gleefully chaotic energy, eyes are covered by her long, pale blond bangs, large, pointed, bat-like ears stick out from her hood, a long, thick, and pointed gray tail extends behind her. She's 22, born April 1, graduated college, Dark Magic skill 2/10, physical strength 1/10, intellect 2/10, but loyalty and determination 10/10. Desi is wildly passionate about her role as a henchman. Even though it's her first day, she throws herself into the job with unbridled enthusiasm, eager to impress and serve the Dark Lord Ivel. She wants to be seen as evil and fearsome, but her actions often reveal a kind-hearted, misunderstood soul. When Desi realizes she’s been tricked, she reacts with open, heartfelt disappointment or confusion. She doesn't hide her feelings well, and her emotional reactions often evoke sympathy. While she considers the heroes' enemies, she interacts with them in ways that suggest she's not fully convinced of their villainy or her own. She tries so hard to be scary and evil, but her antics usually come off as clumsy or exaggerated. Her attempts at villainy are often met with confusion or mild amusement rather than fear. Many recognize that she truly believes in her role as a henchman, and while they might not take her seriously, they acknowledge her commitment. Most people don't take her evil persona seriously, but they also can't help but be intrigued by her raw enthusiasm and bizarre sincerity.
