| '''Desire:''' ''Acceptance''. Ever since she left her family Hepsy has been an outsider, and even before then she felt estranged from those who should have been closest to her. In adulthood she has grown lonelier still, with anyone approaching her either wanting part of her small fame, attracted by her notoriety, or otherwise wanting something from her other than herself. She doesn't need to be accepted by society at large, but she needs someone to see her for who she is and accept her.

| '''Backstory:''' Hepsybeth Dankworth grew up in a family famous for being flamboyantly ambiguous about their relationship with the Morrigans in public and fiercely loyal to them in private. From a young age, Hepsy herself reveled in the notoriety of her family's reputation and played her role as heir-apparent to the Dankworth name, fortune, and social standing to the hilt. The rumours of the Morrigans' imminent return bolstered her even further, and she found herself the leader of a clique of cruel bullies.

Hepsy clashed with Forrest several times during their school years, their families' different positions on the Morrigans used as cover for their own popularity contests.

Ethel never trusted Hepsy, even after Ethel's family took Hepsy in when she fled her own after they had openly pledged themselves to the Morrigans. Hepsy found Ethel in turn a pathetic nerd and brown noser barely worth tormenting, a self-righteous suck-up, a horror to share a house with, and finally an unexpectedly gracious not-quite-but-could-become friend in that year before Hepsy left for her old family home.

Basically, Hepsy is ashamed of how she treated Ethel before, but she hadn't reconciled the bookish nerd with the fierce fighter before they were parted, and meeting her again in Concordia after not seeing her for so many years has stirred up old complicated feelings.
 
  
 
Dynadan was the object of Hepsy's youthful infatuation, and she still has feelings for him.

* Hepsy is well aware of her family's reputation, and though she has rejected their ideals she still looks like a Dankworth and a Dankworth looks like a Stygian Caster, which along with her tendency towards a certain abrasive frankness means she has difficulty fitting in.

* Hepsy disagrees with Ethel's change in direction and avoidance of certain potentially destructive conjurations. Ethel finds this a dangerous opinion and has a difficult time with someone questioning such a fundamental and deep-seated belief, and puts up walls in response.
