Damian Desmond/Relationships

Donovan Desmond
His father, with whom he has a very distant relationship. Their butler, Jeeves, tries to act as if Donovan cares for Damian, but Damian does not believe it. Damian aspires to follow in Donovan's footsteps in becoming a politician and holds him in high regard, even believing that a man as important as his father would not spend time with someone like him.

Despite this, Damian wishes his father would pay him more attention, doing everything he can to impress him: from striving to become an Imperial Scholar to not wanting to show weakness. After Damian meets with Donovan during the Imperial Scholars Mixer, he seeks to become a better student to earn more praise from him.

Melinda Desmond
Similar to his father, Damian has a distant relationship with his mother. When Anya tells him that their mothers have become friends, Damian asks if his mother said anything about him. However, after Anya assures him that Melinda said nothing, Damian appears disappointed. After the bus hijacking incident, Damian is surprised and relieved that his mother came to pick him up and is happy upon learning that she cooked all the food for his dinner when they returned home.

Demetrius Desmond
Similar to his father, Damian has a distant relationship with his older brother, to the point of being nervous when talking with him on the phone. However, he does seem to have a slightly better relationship with him than with Donovan and Melinda since Demetrius made sure to pass to their father Damian's request to talk to him after the Imperial Scholars mixer.

Anya Forger
His classmate with whom he has mixed feelings. The two often engage in fights, but Damian has shown to have some positive feelings about her when he sometimes blushes while talking to her. Since Damian is unaware of Operation Strix or Anya's telepathy, he falsely assumes that her efforts to befriend him are simply to get closer to the Desmond name. After the bus hijacking incident, their relationship appears to have improved since Damian tolerates her presence more, with him gaining newfound respect for Anya and calling her a friend. He currently has a big and very obvious crush on her that she seems to be oblivious to, even getting jealous at the prospect of her getting taken away by someone else.

Becky Blackbell
Damian is on odd terms with Becky, with her being Anya's best friend, and the two often trade jabs on any subject in or out of school. After the bus hijacking incident, it is shown that these two are in better circumstances, with Becky normally advising him about his decisions towards Anya.

Emile Elman
His classmate who acts and is seen as Damian's flunky. Though Emile may be one of Damian's "minions," they seem to have a friendly relationship as they are shown doing various activities together.

Ewen Egeburg
His classmate who acts and is seen as Damian's flunky. Though Ewen may be one of Damian's "minions," they seem to have a friendly relationship as they are shown doing various activities together.

Jeeves
Jeeves is the butler of the Desmond Family. He normally serves under Damian's instructions but also guides and cheers him, as he is aware of the estrangement between the family, and normally does his best to make him believe Donovan is looking out for him.
