Yeah, There’s A Real Chance Dess Changed Her Name From “December”.

Yeah, there’s a real chance Dess changed her name from “December”.

From the Ice-E “sighting” page, we can see that even a very young Noelle calls her “Dess”.

But the “news” reporter will still link to https://deltarune.com/december/ to recommend Dess’s sightings, which is now a 404 page:

…while, on the other hand, like you said, the “Dess” page does work.

Noelle and Rudy will unfailingly call Dess “Dess”. They never actually call her “December”.

Even the game itself never actually calls Dess “December” - the word itself is never said aloud, and almost treated like taboo.

Noelle responded to spam emails for “friend finders” to search for “Dess”.

This puzzle will slowly spell out December, but Noelle doesn’t appear to notice.

She’s not looking at the letters; she’s looking at Kris (almost as if for comfort).

Since Noelle called her Dess even at such a young age, when the town news reporter still linked to a page calling her “December” (indicating she was, at some point, generally called that)…

…maybe she wanted to be called “Dess” since she was little, before actually changing it.

I know we always use this scene to say Dess must have disappeared before the Spelling Bee, when Noelle was very young…

…but what if Noelle just didn’t even want to spell the wrong name for her sister?

Noelle never has any trouble saying “Dess”, even for lighthearted moments…

…but she’ll never say the word “December”.
