Dess isn’t real. She’s Noelle’s childhood alter ego. All 5 mentions of her by other people are made up and it is all an elaborate effort of the hometown residents to keep Noelle’s fantasy alive. Carol keeps a fake room full of things that “Dess” enjoyed.

All of Noelle’s memories of Dess and the anecdotes she tells are things she did herself or straight up lies.

why did this happen to noelle?

She was a little girl with some maldaptative behaviors, and some of them involved harming her loved ones, like Kris. in order to cope with the dissonance of her actions with her perception of self as the innocent daughter, she reinterpreted her bad traits as a new persona called Dess. Remember that after using the Snowgrave spell on Berdly in chapter 2’s weird route, she acts all weird and confused. This shows Noelle has a tendency to block bad actions that she did from her mind.

noelle: "You were just... doing what I made you".

WHAT?? what. did she mean by this????

so when noelle said "it was Forced" she meant that she thought she was the one forcing it???????? am i misunderstanding it??????

i made these for the deltaboards. feel free to use, no credit needed (it looks weird on mobile idk why, but theyre all the same size)
