Deirdre

Profile

Deirdre's not the happiest camper. She was fated to cause tragedy from birth—she was so beautiful that she started a war between her betrothed, the king, and the man she loved. Never a good idea—someone always dies. This Juliet character can be found morosely picking flowers or watching old romantic comedies and crying into her hankie.
