Dess Roaderson : Destiny Cornell "Dess" Roaderson, sometimes nicknamed "D" and also known as "Cadet Dess", is a young Greater roadrunner who is a Level 2 land cadet.
Voice actress: Maitreyi Ramakrishnan
Personality: Dess is tough, independent, and street-smart who carries herself with confidence. She is highly ambitious and always eager to lend a hand, whether it’s helping the community or supporting her teammates.
A natural athlete, she thrives on speed and competition, whether she’s racing in her vehicle or sprinting on foot. She embraces a daring and adventurous approach to movement, incorporating parkour into her runs and using her limited flying abilities to her advantage.
As a land cadet, she is deeply passionate about her role and takes great pride in her duties. She maintains a professional, no-nonsense demeanor while on the job, ensuring she stays focused and doesn’t lose sight of her responsibilities. Her sharp mind and resourcefulness allow her to assess situations quickly and come up with effective solutions in high-pressure moments.
One of her most defining traits is her dry wit and sharp sarcasm. She is known for her deadpan delivery and is completely comfortable making blunt, abrasive comments when the moment calls for it. Honest to a fault, she has never told a lie in her life, and even if she tried, she struggles with even the simplest deception. At times, even her friends (and occasionally herself) have trouble distinguishing whether she’s being sarcastic or sincere.
Compared to her more extroverted teammates, Dess is naturally introverted. She is calm, collected, and often prefers solitude over socializing. While others may seek out lively group activities during their downtime, she is more likely to take a quiet moment for herself.
Despite her composed and sometimes distant nature, she is not immune to social discomfort. Large crowds, public speaking, and being on camera make her visibly nervous, as she dislikes being in the spotlight and struggles to speak confidently in such situations. Her bashful tendencies contrast with her otherwise strong and self-assured persona.
Underneath her cool exterior, Dess is a kind-hearted and caring individual who values her friendships deeply. While she enjoys her alone time, she considers her teammates her closest friends and cherishes the moments she gets to spend with them.
Although she thrives on physical activity, she also enjoys more relaxed pastimes. She has a passion for doodling and yoga, and she finds peace in taking quiet walks, listening to music, and appreciating the scenery.
Vehicle: Dess' vehicle is the Dashercycle; a sleek sky-blue racing motorcycle with black, white and medium-blue accents, along with a silver Top Wing Logo placed on both sides. It is equipped with a turbo thruster, evasive-maneuver wheels, an autopilot mode, a side car, and it has the ability to drive on walls and it can drive at the speed of a cheetah.
Appearance: Referred to as cute and pretty-looking, Dess is a young and thin Greater roadrunner. Naturally for her type of bird, her white feathers are rather distinctive; having dark brown specks all over, followed by a dark brown stripe on the front of her face, dark brown-tipped wings, long dark brown and emerald-green tail feathers, a gray beak with the front being colored in a darker shade, and circular-like markings with blue and orange edges around her eyes and eyebrows.
Her feathers also formed long, thick, spiked and tuft-filled black hair with golden-brown tips. Her hair also features bangs that cover parts of her right eye and eyebrow; her eyes themselves are a large, almond-shaped emerald-green with thick eyelashes protruding from them, while her brows are a thin, very dark brown. She is the shortest out of her team.
Clothing: Dess' attire consists of a short-sleeved, high-collared medium-blue sports shirt under a sky-blue hoodie vest with white drawstrings and white trimming on the sides. She also wears a medium-blue watch with a silver lining, tightly fastened around her right wing so that she doesn't lose it easily.
She also wore black capri leggings with thin white stripes and the bottom part colored in a medium-blue, and sky-blue sports shoes with white laces and a black stripe above the white soles. Dess accessorizes with black and white sports accessories, which are black fingerless exercise gloves with a thin white stripe around it, and matching sports bands around her arms.
Level 2 Uniform Her Level 2 uniform consists of a sky-blue helmet with black, white, medium-blue and dark royal-blue accents, along with a microphone attached to it and two small emerald-green buttons located on the left, as she can somehow manage to fit all of her hair under it. She wears a long-sleeved sky-blue shirt with a small medium-blue button located on the high black collar, black and white accents on the front, and black and white stripes on the sleeves with her badge printed on her left sleeve, with a small metallic, medium-blue and silver pin with black details adorning the front.
Dess also wore black-trimmed dark royal-blue driving gloves that covers her wings, black pants with thin, dark royal-blue stripes and white trimming, a black belt with a shimmering-silver design on it, and sky-blue and white boots with black soles and a black design on the toes, followed by white straps with black buckles. Her watch is strapped in its usual place, and she accessorizes with both black elbow and knee-pads.
Description: "Dess sure is one fast roadrunner! A straightforward and sardonic individual who takes her job seriously, she could save others with in a blink of an eye, using her all-out street-smarts, parkouring skills and her sleek 'n' smooth Dashercycle!
Despite being not as energetic as her fellow Top Wing cadets and can come off as stoic, she has a heart of gold who is learning to be more comfortable in being herself."
