'''Desdemona''' (オルネーゼ, ''Orunēze'') is one of the main characters in {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}. She serves as envoy of the High [[King of Accordia]] and is a mighty female warrior.

==Appearance and Personality==
Desdemona has golden eyes and long, flowing orange hair which goes down to her back and one lock which goes falls over her face. She is a warrior and dresses in a fashion similar to other female warriors in the series. She wears a metal bra with one pauldron on her left shoulder, a leather belt around her waist, black bikini bottoms covered with a chainmail skirt, and one red legging on her left leg and a red sleeve on her left arm. Her boots and gloves are made out of maroon leather and are covered by metal greaves and vambraces respectively. On her right bicep and thigh, she wears metal bands. She also wears a metal choker with a dangling red jewel and silver hoop earrings. Desdemona's name is known throughout the world for her fighting ability and her personality is similar to that of a big sister, particularly to [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]].

==Abilities==
In combat, she wields an enormous two-handed {{Axe}} with ease and has no trouble fighting against opponents much larger than her. Unlike [[Yangus]] from the previous game, Desdemona's fighting style is more agile and she specializes in breaking through the enemy front with rapid axe attacks.

Topaz Light:

The '''[[Party]]''' of {{DQ9}} have to save the world from the former [[Celestrian]], [[Corvus]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ9}}===
====Main Members====
*'''{{Hero 9}}''' - The {{Hero 9}} is a Celestrian under the tutelage of [[Aquila]], assigned to watch over the village of [[Angel Falls]] in his/her master's stead. Later fell from the [[Observatory]] after strange beams struck through the heavens during the [[Fygg]]bloom, losing wings and halo.
====Optional Members====
*'''Player-created adventuring companions:''' Much like in {{DQ3}}, the player can create and manage their own party members at [[Patty's Party Planning Place]]. The appearances and genders of these party members can be chosen from the same set of options as are available for the hero, with the player additionally being able to select each party member's starting [[Vocation system|vocation]] out of [[warrior]], [[thief]], [[martial artist]], [[priest]], [[mage]], and [[minstrel]]. The six unlockable vocations do not become available as starting vocations for player-created party members, and must always be revocated into at [[Alltrades Abbey]].
*'''[[Erinn]]''': A young woman living with her grandfather in [[Angel Falls]]; she finds the {{Hero 9}} after he/she fell into the base of the waterfall. Her father was the "Inncredible [[Inn]]tertainer," and [[Patty]] recruits her to help restore his old establishment, the [[Quester's Rest]], in [[Stornway]].
*'''[[Sellma]]''' (Japanese: ロクサーヌ [Roxanne]): A representative of the Sinndicate of Pubs, [[Inn]]s, and Taverns (S.P.I.T.), sent to Quester's Rest to manage the [[DQVC]] Shopping Service. By talking to her the {{Hero 9}} can connect to the online store and retrieve new quests, hidden characters, and specialty shop items.
*'''[[Patty]]''' (Japanese: ウイーダ　[Luida]): A feisty, party girl and old acquaintance of [[Erinn]]'s father. She recruits Erinn to help restore his old [[inn]]. Provides her Party Planning services for the {{Hero 9}} at the [[Quester's Rest]]. Party members can be added, removed, registered, and released by talking to her.
====Temporary Members====
*'''[[Aquila]]''': A fellow [[Celestrian]] and mentor of the {{Hero 9}}. A firm but fair master, he goes missing after the {{Hero 9}} and the [[Fygg]]s fall from the [[Observatory]]. {{spoiler|start}}After completing the main story, Quest #163 "When A Star Wishes Upon You" can be completed to recruit Aquila as a permanent party member. He joins as a level 60 [[warrior]] equipped with an [[Aurora blade]], [[White shield]], [[Aquila's armour]], [[Aquila's trousers]], and [[Aquila's boots]].{{spoiler|end}}
*'''[[Ivor]]''': The troublemaking son of the mayor of [[Angel Falls]]. He accompanies the hero in the beginning of the game to clear the road connecting Angel Falls to the [[Stornway]] region. While in the party, Ivor cannot level up or be given commands by the player, acting autonomously in battle.
