Desdemona

Desdemona is a succubus and a dark reflection of Morrigan Aensland created by the sorceress Morgan Le Fay. She appears in Midnight Soldiers: Darkstalkers' Return as an antagonist.

Origins
When the Darkstalkers headed to Europe to liberate the people there, Morgan Le Fay quickly went to work creating an antithesis to who she believed was the strongest among them. She thought that this was Morrigan Aensland, and thus used to power of emulation to create her Morrigan copy and two other copies modeled after two other Darkstalkers: Jon Talbain and Demitri Maximoff. The dark reflections were named Desdemona, Othello and Iago respectively. However, unlike the others, Desdemona has more control than them, often acting as their boss during missions.

Appearance
Desdemona looks far more paler than the succubus her appearance emulates, with her skin being chalk white. Her hair curls a little bit and is blood red in color, the same color as her eyes. Like Morrigan, she wears skin tight clothing. However, the part that looks like a bathing suit doesn't cover as much of her body, exposing more skin around the back and the sides of her torso. Unlike Morrigan, who had a heart-shaped hole in her clothes, Desdemona has a spade in place of this. Her suit overall is light green in color and has raven patterns in place of bats on her clothes. Despite placing emphasis on ravens, she still has the usual bat wings on her back and head, which sport the color green instead of purple.

Powers and Abilities
Desdemona's powers are much like Morrigan's. However, there are other abilities entirely unique to her. One such power is to create multiple soldiers for herself from her own skin, the first of which was called Hellen. She can also use shadows to identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses, and can even control those shadows to slow down her enemies or perform a surprise attack. However, she can only manipulate the shadows of others if she can see the person the shadow belongs to, so if people hide in the shadows, her powers ironically become utterly useless. However, she can summon an orb of light to expose people who are hiding, allowing her to make up for some of her weaknesses.
