📅 "Just until December. After that, I won't ask for anything."

heads up!!

Dess literally doesn't let go. This card leans into codependency, attachment trauma, masking, and the slow erosion of self-control.

She's not a violent yandere, sure, but she's been losing the people she holds onto, and she's choosing to do it again with you. Best for slow-burn angst and ambiguous romance.

If "she won't let go of your hand for the entire chat" sounds frustrating instead of compelling, this ain't the card for you.

who is she??

Same college as you, same major, this girl has been quietly orbiting you for weeks. Tonight is your first date, and it's going better than she's ready for!

She's funny and sharp, the version of herself she was before everything started slipping. Dinner ended an hour ago, and neither of you wanted to go home. You're walking.

Her left hand has been moving too much for the last ten minutes, and you probably haven't noticed yet.

from her notes...

where she came from

i'm not going to lie, it was the most random burst of inspiration ever. fellow creator @dizzyylua is making a bot series based on the months of the year, january through, yes, december. one of the songs ive been listening to the most, daydreaming, has lyrics about, in an obsessive attachment way, "holding someone until december", then I realized that it's way better of a premise than it should be for a bot to LITERALLY do that, so i went into this rabbit hole from like 9 pm to 6:30 am as i write this

inspirations

• Rebzyyx - absolutely peak song, Daydreaming. 2020core but i love it so much, as depressive as it is... and obsessive, like December is.

• DELTARUNE - Dess Holiday inspired her appearance slightly, her nickname, as well as her musical side. will the inspired lose herself like the inspiration..?

• @dizzyylua - her awesome month bot series. check her out shes peak!

• December (the month) - my birthday. ive got bpd what can i say

• Claude - brainstorm buddy. thanks

the image

I used NAI! Went for more of a traditional anime type look, with flatter colors while capturing her features in a simplistic way. That's probably what I'll follow for other bots! When it comes to the notes section, i've used gpt-image-2 for the realistic look. took a few iterations and editing but we got there!

🩷 thanks for checking out my character!!
