A guard crew member under a long-term contract with COLUMBA. Desiree is spirited and always brings joy with her innocent remarks. However, once she enters combat, her ruthless and precise archery instills fear. Her marksmanship can almost be described as unfailingly accurate. The stark contrast between her youthful appearance and her proficient use of ascension abilities, which are nearly on par with B.C.R.L veterans with at least five years, hints at an extraordinary past.










Desiree's life can be divided into three phases.
In the first phase, Desiree lived in an orphanage, a place she had been at since she could remember. Alas, the orphanage director made no effort to make it a loving environment for the children. They were more like the orphanage's money-making tools.
In the second phase, Desiree was adopted, but what awaited her weren't loving, ordinary days, for the mysterious figure who adopted her was a member of a mercenary organization that wanted her for her ascension abilities and unique talent.
In the third phase, the mercenary organization clashed with a particular bigwig whose name escaped Desiree, and nearly everyone was eliminated in the end. Yet, Desiree, by some miracle, survived and encountered COLUMBA's Signora Medici while at the end of her rope, and she then went on to work for COLUMBA to this day.
Despite her appalling past, she's still an innocent child at heart, at least outside of battlefields. This is probably a blessing in itself.
Concealed by Desiree's juvenile, perky appearance is a past filled with hardships. The orphanage where she once stayed was a poor excuse for a sanctuary. Before she was adopted by that mercenary organization's member, she barely even got to have meals that tasted normal.
The demanding training that awaited her at the mercenary organization didn't really faze her. As her "teachers," the organization members taught her all the qualities and knowledge needed to be a soldier, albeit not exactly with care and concern as the intention, but they did shape a complete "worldview" for Desiree, granting her basic understanding of this world.
However, on the flip side of the coin, although the "teachers" cultivated her into an impressive mercenary, they failed to teach her the skills needed to live independently. As such, till date, Desiree lacks budgeting ability and requires the supervision of a "guardian."
When Desiree first boarded The Eternal, the first impression she gave everyone on the train was "a girl who possesses some combat skills" and even "perhaps a relative of someone." After all, no matter if it's her looks or behavior, she exudes the naivety of someone without much life experience, which makes it difficult to imagine what kind of amazing abilities a girl like that could possibly have.
Regardless, this somewhat stereotypical first impression was soon proven wrong.
Desiree is proficient at moving between numerous spots to quickly find a good one to snipe, then accurately taking down the enemy. People skilled at using long-range weapons are generally seen as the team's attacker and weakest member, but no one who has seen Desiree using the advantage of her petite frame to swiftly block and knock down an enemy would think she had gotten her position by pulling strings.
About her astounding abilities that starkly contrast her appearance, she doesn't appear to have much thought about them, never mind comparing herself with others. In her eyes, everyone has their own individuality. For example, Livia makes extremely good Black Tea, Eliot always invites Desiree to play, and Fran cooks for everyone... Desiree has never felt that her existence is "unrealistic." She still spends her days happily on The Eternal, just like the saying, "Ignorance is bliss."
A crew member found a notebook and handed it to Livia, hoping she could locate its owner through its content.

Conductor told me to write a diary since I am bad with words and writing reports.
Fran said as long as I keep writing, I will master it one day.
I wanna try!
Page 2:
So hungry! Not sure what to write.
I want a refreegeerater (splotch of ink) (a vertical rectangle with a horizontal line across the middle) Everybody always makes yummy food from the refreegeerater.
(doodles of a bunch of odd stuff, may be mistakes)

I ate a burger today. It is yummy. Could have had 3 more, but Kersed Sword Maiden ate them. Found 2 bentos and gave them to the Conductor, but the Conductor gave me 1 back.
Left all the green peppers for Conductor.
Also scared the fancy passengers in the passenger car. It was fun.

Yummy!!!
I could not spell some words, so I went to ask the Conductor and Livia. Livia said I can ask BOX if they are busy.
But I wanna play with them.
I'm Desiree! My dream is to be a pure and lovely girl who can smile wherever I go! Nice to meet you!
Ah, sorry! Being stared at from afar... I really didn't intend to do anything, really!
I bought so many yummy stuff with the money Conductor gave me!... Ah, looks like it's a bit too much...
Can I buy any clothes that I like? Oh yeah! Then I'll get this, and this, and this!
This bow isn't heavy at all. And, look! It can be folded like this! Very portable!
Don't worry, Conductor! I just twisted my ankle a little during exercise... Hey! Look, better now?
Food that I hate? Hmm... Soup that's turned sour. And sausages that seem to have things wriggling inside...
Don't turn off the lights! I'm really afraid of dark rooms. I'll suffocate. Teacher said it can't be cured... Sorry...
Conductor! Conductor! Conductor! Actually, I used to be able to hit vital spots with just one strike, so I was called the Heartseeker!
I caught the bad guy targeting Conductor! I've cut his tendons. Should I break his jaw too? No?
Conductor! Conductor! All I got is one new top this time! Aren't I a good girl?
Conductor, this dessert is really delicious. Have some... This is mine, but since you're special, you can have it!
I couldn't sleep in dark rooms before, but it's much better with you by my side, Conductor. Before I fall asleep, can you not leave...
Uh, um... Conductor. I can forgo things like delicious food, beautiful new clothes, and money. If that's the case, Conductor, can you, can you... pat Desiree's head more?
Let's go!
All set. Ready to wipe them out at any time! Ah... I forgot, we're not supposed to wipe them out.
This defense line won't take me more than a minute to breach!
Rain arrows!
Don't even dream of getting away!
I'm out of arrows. Be back in a bit...
So cold... No... It's too dark... No...
Oh yay! We did it! I'm the MVP! But wait... What does MVP mean?
