Biography[]
Desiree D'lene, aka Medea Cymri, out of Isabella by Zarathustra, is one the last survivors of the Kodiak Pride. She is a Nietzschean who pretends to be a human in order to hide her true race and identity.
After the near extinction of the Kodiak, she fled and began a new life. She became the lover of Bartolome Naz, but they separated. In revenge, Naz hired Tyr Anasazi to assassinate his former lover but instead of killing her, Tyr fell in love with Desiree and they became lovers. Tyr told Naz that he killed her but instead he hid her on Elba IX, an inhospitable planet which was protected by the Attrox. After four years she sent a message to Tyr but Naz also intercepted the message. Naz tries to kill Desiree and Tyr saves her and offers to take her away, or to live on the Andromeda with him. However, she decides to remain on Elba IX.
Trivia[]
- Her birth name comes from Medea and Wales (Welsh Cumrie The Land Of The Cymri; Lat. Cambria).
- The father's name is taken directly from the title of a 4 part novel by Friedrich Nietzsche, published around 1883-1885, Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None. It contains the lines, "I teach you the overman (Übermensch). Man is something that shall be overcome (surpassed)."
Quote[]
Desiree: Hidden from everyone! Why, Tyr? Why?
Tyr: You know why! You're still perfect. All your strength and fire still greets me there in your eyes. Your smell, the magnificent beat of your heart. You're perfect, Medea.
Desiree: It is my curse.
