Despera is an advisor and strategist to Grimlord who also created her. She is dressed in an elegant white robe and a horned headdress and wields a large scepter. She is quick to lose her temper and is an immensely powerful warrior. She is the sister of Desponda. Ryan once clashed with Despera, who battled him through various dimensions. In our dimension, Despera could float and blast purple electricity from the sphere on her staff. In another dimension, Despera seemed to turn invisible and attacked by throwing her staff around like a spear. Ryan also encountered another dimension, while involved in a battle with her, that was like a giant, slowly revolving crystal ball. Ryan escaped this dimension by blasting the crystal ball walls a few times with his laser pistol. Ryan defeated Despera in battle, by tricking her into zapping a trap wall in the temple containing Grimlord's secret identity. She was struck in the shoulder by an arrow, and after removing the arrow, promptly retreated. Unlike her Japanese counterpart, she doesn't fade away after Oraclon's destruction.
We Are VR Troopers![]
Despera was one of the main villains during the Virtual Reality War! She was a very intimidating opponent, even held the young Chita hostage after she was trained to use her powers. She mocked that cats are magnificent creatures, but she knew that Chita, not even kittens, can't swim! So, Doom Master forced her off the precipice and into a small lake, to which she climbed out thanks to her activated setae. But her prowess was beginning as she kept on using her lethal staff decimating many of the Mutants and their Teams. The Troopers were their only hope, and by the time Col. Icebot's Sky Castle collapsed, Snake and Kaitlin were on the prowl! Despera was proven to overmatch Kaitlin and her double, even to the point on destroying the heroic copy!! She had the upper hand, till she dealt with a raging Snake who only left a scratch on her face. She laughed it off, although the infection began to mutate and decay her body! Kaitlin fired her fallen staff, and Despera was destroyed for good!
