She exists in a few Villain and Rogue tip missions.
She has no presence outside of missions, though--you won't find her standing in a zone anywhere.

I have no idea which toon or at what level I was playing, but I seem to recall having run across her in a tip mission, probably a villain one. I think I was on my stalker, level 43 or so, because the more I think about it, the more I seem to recall she only conned yellow so I was able to drop her with just one attack.
Edit: Grr, beaten by my verbosity, again!
You're all a bunch of hoaxers! I'll never believe you without photographic proof. And even if you do bring photographic proof, I'll just say its photoshopped, so Ive got you there too.
Desdemona is the tooth fairy of CoX and that's the bottom line because some bald guy said so.

Actually this would explain a lot of things...
No. No it wouldn't.

Only on Tip Missions, but I agree, she need to show up more like Maelstrom does.

She's a very, very unlikeable character once you do find her and start paying attention to the things she says

or she could let BaB's retire from Galaxy.
She and Maelstrom should be used more than they are now, just for wallpaper promotion of new powersets for GR and a couple of tips where they are as easy to defeat as Flambeaux alias "The fire running joke".
Lots of overused characters with crappy costumes:
Overdrive, Polar Shift, Silent blade, Doc Quantum, Blast Furnace...
And lots of underused ones, cool looking with nice lore behind them:
Maelstrom, Desdemona, Belladona Vetrano, Mirror Spirit, Foreshadow...

For that matter, Sparkblade... and... that other one from WISDOM, who I can't remember.

Rose Star.
Im dying to see those too, from the Korean trailer...
I even made a suggestion thread to introduce them in the game.
But no, we need to defeat Polar Shift and rescue Overdrive again and again.
Those heroes are even ugly to see.

From what's been talked about with the Tips system, it is likely we will be seeing these sideline characters as the system expands.|

It takes time to write and create content, and many of the original tips missions were written around players ongoing interactions with secondary characters such as Silent Blade, Desdemona, Polar Shift, Maelstrom, Flamboux, Blast Furnace. These sideline stories tend to "culminate" in the original alignment change missions.
Just because those were the original set of tips missions does not mean that is all the tips missions there will ever be. Same thing with the Incarnate-Trials. So many players are hung up on Baf and Lambda being the end-all / be-all of I-trials and claiming that the trials are "such a grind" because that is all there is... "now"
* * *
Something else to consider here is that players who repeat the tips content over and over and over for the rewards are going to find themselves, as you say:

To go ahead and get the basic snarky comment out of the way, repeating tips missions over and over for rewards is no different than running a task force over and over for rewards. It is going to be repetitive, get used to it.
* * *
One of the other specific problems the developers and writers face with repetitive content is storyline cohesion. The tip mission drops are randomized so there is no real way to force players to follow any particular story-path.
If there are too many tips options available with too many characters involved, it becomes difficult to communicate that players are participating in an on-going story beyond their own character.

And the jerk thing goes double for Doc Quantum. I hate that the hero morality mission in the 30's is to save him from Longbow, because I wish they WOULD kill him.

I can name three missions she's in just in the category of level 50 villainous tip missions.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

And then there's poor Sky Dragon... (Sky has had my hero-side tip runner in near-perpetual face-palm mode from the day she left Praetoria. Nobody should get into as much trouble as that guy does. XD)
I'm with you on Doc, though. Somebody needs to mummify the dude in duct tape and feed him to Lusca. >_>

There was a rumor that she liked ...something... at midnight, but the lackey sent to verify this information hasn't been heard from since.
I'm pretty sure she was lobotomized as a youth, however.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/36641/My-Little-Exalt
Has anybody had ANY kind of interaction with her in game at all? I have looked for her in a variety of different missions and locales, and can't find her.
Is she a mythical, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, loch ness monster character or something?
