Dee didn't handle death well. When she was only a little girl her mother, whom she was very close to, was killed in an accident. She decided not to tell a soul. She was afraid they would give her sympathy. She didn't want sympathy. So everyone who had it worse than her would have her love. She would take care of them and make them happy. In a strange way this made her happy too.
After gradually healing she, as you know, befriended Marx. At first she was just going to care for him and such, but then she found she loved him. It was so much like the love for her mother and she feared losing him. When he died she lost all happiness and could never be comforted enough. Eventually, her friends decided giving up was the only thing to do.
The young girl wanted to confide in someone, so she tried talking to another girl named Nikki. When she arrived at the small house Nikki was staying in, she found that her friend died. Apparently she had a disease before her arrival but didn't mention it. Meeting Meta Knight was her dream and she wanted to act on it before her death.
Dee ran home and locked herself inside. She never wanted to face the world again. She stayed there for weeks before finally starting to work again. Her boss didn't mind her leave and was just thankful to have her back.
So her life commenced. New enemies threatened her planet and she watched Kirby and the others fight. She didn't talk to them much anymore, so she could barely label them 'friends.' Instead of joining them, she waited for Marx. She hoped that he would return someday. Until that time came, Dee would wait. Being alone stripped her of any little bit of joy left in her heart and soon she realized she hadn't laughed for a long time. It didn't matter though. She would wait and wait, even if it took her whole life. It didn't matter, she knew he had to come back someday, right?
Author's note: Actually, no one voted for Marx. Nikki, yes. She got the most, so I was forced to kill her. As for Marx, I was planning his death all along. I just felt like it could make an emotional impact. Did it?
And poor Dee! She lost her mom when she was only a little girl! That was a bit of a surprise. She acted so happy and nice all the time…ah well. Please review. That's all.
