Desi

Short for Desiderio. May have the appearance of a player or fuckboy, but is actually very loyal and humble. He is not one to be judged by his initial appearance because he has so much more to offer than what is initially perceived from him. He can be emotional, but he never lets his emotions cloud his judgement. He's the type of guy to pull out a chair for someone else before sitting down himself.

Look at Desi over there, looking cute as hell
