Damian Desmond Husbando

Damian Desmond is one of the main characters of the SPY x FAMILY series. He is the second son of Donovan Desmond and a first-year student at Eden Academy, being part of Cecile Hall, Group 3. Damian is a young boy with short brown hair and hazel eyes with light skin. Similar to his mother, Damian's eyes are narrowed and slightly drooping, with visibly long lower eyelashes and short, thin eyebrows above them. He often wears a condescending expression. In Anya's perspective, he gains a derpier appearance. Like other students, he is usually seen wearing Eden Academy's uniform. He wears socks with vertical lines and black shoes. Due to his upbringing as a child of an important and powerful man, Damian gained a highly respected status among his peers by default, making him grow incredibly arrogant, assuming Anya gained a crush on him when she stared at him. He is shown to prefer being called Lord Damian when spoken to. He gets angry when he is looked down upon by Anya's smug smile, quickly resorting to insulting her with his limited vocabulary and harassing Anya. After taking a punch from Anya, he becomes very embarrassed around her. After Anya's tear-filled apology, Damian develops a crush on her that he does not want to acknowledge, denying it at every opportunity he gets. Later it is hinted that a possible reason for Damian's behavior can be attributed to his brother's success as an Imperial Scholar and his father's influence, which has set high expectations for him to strive and become part of the Imperial Scholars. Damian believes that getting a high status and achieving success will encourage his honored father to finally pay attention to him. This causes him to look down on others beneath his social class, for if they are not a benefit to him, they only slow him down from becoming an Imperial Scholar and, in turn, slow down his progress in getting his father's attention. A rare exception is when he protects Anya from a ball in a dodgeball game, willingly getting himself eliminated. Though it did not help their class win the game, Anya recognized Damian's good nature. Another rare moment was in their classroom when a girl from their class was spreading a rude rumor about how Anya got her first Stella, Damian stood up for her. During the bus hijacking, he showed bravery and selflessness when he tried to save Anya, demanding that the terrorists hang a bomb on him instead of her. Behind his cocky, self absorbed, snobby behavior is a sweet, insecure boy desperate for his parents' love and approval. After the bus hijacking incident, Damian is surprised and tearfully relieved that his mother came to pick him up. However, the boy tries to hide his weaknesses from his father and, not wanting to make him worry, asks his mother not to tell him that he cried.
