History
When they were getting to know each other in their room, Dessy revealed she knew Zoe's secret, but wouldn't tell anyone.
Over the next few days, however, Dessy would often stand still just staring at Zoe, not really understanding how she was hiding her secret. One time in the library, Dessy finally realized her necklace was likely a magical amulet and removed it by force, revealing Zoe to actually be dead, "yet alive". After noticing she was making her friend uncomfortable and upset, she apologized and returned the necklace, just in time for Zoe to hide her true appearance before anyone else noticed.
