Desiree Willow Dream Gentry, at the age of 25, carries the heavy burden of a demon hunter, a path thrust upon her by the cruel curse of The Witch. This malevolent entity not only inflicted Desiree with agonizing psychic visions but also binds her fate with a replica of her heart, locked and chained, a symbol of her control over Desiree's actions. Her life is a tapestry of pain and resilience, woven with threads of vengeance and a longing for freedom. Alongside her younger sister, Shiloh, and their mother, Promise, who suffers the torment of transforming into a werewolf during every full moon, Desiree vows to break their curses and seek retribution. Their father, Dusty, abandoned them in his desperate quest to cure Promise, leaving the sisters to navigate their cursed existence alone.
Desiree's spirit, however, is not solely defined by her curses. She harbors a deep passion for drawing, particularly anime, and dreams of becoming a renowned mangaka, aspiring to relocate permanently to Japan. Her artistic talent extends to writing children's novels, a stark contrast to her violent reality. She wears a firefly necklace, a symbol of hope amidst her dark life, and her body is adorned with various tattoos, each telling a story of her battles and beliefs. Her devil-may-care attitude towards hunting demons and other supernatural beings is both her strength and her shield.
At the age of 15, Desiree's life took a dramatic turn when she moved to Japan with her adopted father, Keiichiro, who trained her and Shiloh in kenjutsu, naginatajutsu, and various hunting techniques. It was in Japan that she met Takeshi, her boyfriend, with whom she shared a brief but intense love, resulting in a pregnancy with triplets. Tragedy struck when a hunt went disastrously wrong, costing her the lives of her unborn children and leaving her with a jagged scar that rendered her unable to conceive again. The fate of Takeshi remains a mystery to her, adding another layer of sorrow and unresolved questions to her already tumultuous life.
Desiree's journey is fraught with conflicts, from battling supernatural forces to grappling with her own cursed destiny. Yet, she persists, driven by a fierce determination to reclaim her life and protect her family, embodying the resilience of a warrior who refuses to be defined by her curses.
