DesiRon

"I know he doesn't look it... But he can really get things done when he puts his mind to it."

- Desirée about Ron.

DesiRon is the het ship between Desirée DeLite and Ron DeLite from the Ace Attorney fandom.

Canon
Ron and Desirée (known as The DeLites) are a married couple, and they are living together. They had given each other nicknames, with Ron calling Desirée "Dessie" meanwhile she called him "Ronnie". The pairing was oficially introduced in the Stolen Turnabout.

When Ron is arrested, Phoenix, along with Maya and Pearls, visit him as he was accused for thievery (specifically a sacred urn from the Kurain Village). Ron then asks them on doing a favor for him, which was to talk with "Dessie". Phoenix wonders about the "Dessie person", but Ron inmediately bursts out as he asks him not to call his wife like that. Maya inmediately realizes that she must be his wife because on how Ron was being acting and calling her. He then says that it was actually her who had sent them to come to the detention center to see him, and asked if they could go to their hideout to visit her. Phoenix and the team accepted although they hesitated at first with the "hideout" he was talking about, until he corrects it with it being their secret base (or department).

They both seem to be quite fond of each other, as when Phoenix along with his teammates arrived at Ron's department, Desirée, not actually watching at the moment, wonders if it was Ron the one who had arrived at the place, and when she goes to confirm it, it's when then she sees it was actually different people and realizes that they were the ones who she called for to visit Ron. Phoenix, a little nervous, tells her that his husband wanted them to stop there to talk to her. After she introduced herself, she says she was very grateful that tey decided to help Ron.

When Phoenix asks about her husband, Desirée, while smiling, happily asks if he wasn't the cutest, though weak at times. She denies the fact that Ron had stolen anything, and doubted about why he would do it. Phoenix then suspects that she didn't know Ron's true identity. Maya then describes Desirée that it didn't seem like Ron was the type to make risky decisions, to which Desirée agrees, as she said he wasn't one for thrills or danger, but that he made up for it in other ways, such as money. Since he was incredibly rich and generous, he had brought her a bicycle that made anyone's head spin. He also took her to shopping, which made Ron's head spin as well, and Desirée has the habit of overspending while shopping. Everything being described by Desirée herself.

Once they present Mask☆DeMasque's profile, Desirée tells them that Ron was his biggest fan, and that he would be very delusional sometimes, and that's how the misunderstanding that he was a thief started, and comments she didn't know what was her going to do with him, since Ron actually thought he was Mask☆DeMasque himself. She clarifies to Phoenix that the hiding place of a real thief would not look like it was now, and since Ron was very shy he looks for heroic figures. And anyway if he was indeed Mask☆DeMasque, he would not have the sacred urn himself.

Desirée then asks them to deliver a letter to Ron, and before that she assures them someone had framed the poor Ronnie, adding that she wanted him to fight back.

Ron begins to read the letter delivered via Phoenix by Desirée once they arrived at the detention center, and once finished, he tells Phoenix that in the letter Desirée told him to ask him to be his lawyer, and from there he asks if he could take his case. Phoenix accepts, although there were several problems and doubts since Phoenix and the group were actually the victims of that case, and Maya said that perhaps Desirée was lying in order to defend Ron. At the time when he accepted to take Ron's trial, Pearl gets very angry at Phoenix telling him she would not forgive him, and so leaving the place quickly with Maya chasing after her.

The next day, once the group reconciled again and were about to go inside the courtroom to take Ron's defense, he insists that he was the one who had stolen the sacred urn, although at that moment Desirée arrives and greets him in French, although Ron mutters that she shouldn't speak like that at the time they were going through. She asks him on leaving everything to her, as she swore she would protect him, though Ron mutters again that he was actually the one who had committed the thievery. Desirée then smiles at Phoenix as she said she could guarentee that her Ronnie was innocent and that if he was found guilty, she would be very angry at Phoenix. She then retires from the place saying she had to do some errands and was leaving all up to Phoenix.

After the trial finished with a non-guilty verdict for robbery (though Ron was insistent that he was the true culprit behind it), Desirée was very happy that he was out of the hook, thanking Wright and making him blush. But then, Ron is arrested again this time for murder, as it was on the same night as the robbery, this all being announced by Godot.

Wright and Maya then headed to the hideout to talk to Desirée. When they talk about Ron, she tells them in an angry tone that Ron wasn't the type to kill people. Although she insisted that he was only living fantasies about being a thief, Phoenix clarifies that it was her who was living the fantasies, to which she still insisted on knowing everything about Ron and that they did not keep any secrets between them. She also indicates that he wasn't the type to steal either, since he was so honest that he didn't even sneak a nap, and also couldn't even steal a glance either. Phoenix then wonders again that although both were different, they were a happy couple, and Desirée clarifies that it wasn't that mysterious, as it was love at first sight, at least from her part.

Desirée narrates them about her story of love at first sight, since when they met, Ron had saved her life. She describes that when she was working on that time, two thieves had rushed in, and she decided on confronting them, but sadly falied as she was taken as hostage. She burst into tears when she saw that the thieves were carrying largue knifes, and Maya then proposed with the idea that maybe back then Ron had gone running to save her, and gets a positive answer from Desirée as she happily comments that she remembered he looked hansome with his guard uniform at the time. Then, he had approached to them and started yelling at their faces, turning the thieves pale at the sudden burst and just in that moment approached to them while crying and swinging his arms like crazy, and finally attacked them. He had gotten through all this for a stranger by himself, according to Desirée, he was terrified but had still risked his life for her. Although Ron didn't look like it, he, in one of those situations, there was no one better, as Desirée finishes her story about her falling in love with Ron at first sight.

After Ron was found not guilty once more of both thievery and murder charges, he was still depressed because he thought he had lost everything, but Wright assured him that everything would go fine. Desirée claimed that she still haed cowardly criminals, but she didn't consider Ron being one of them, as he always notified his victims in advance "as a man". After all, it seemed that things would work out for the couple.

Months later after Ron's acquittal, both are seen together at the Zodiac Art Gallery to admire the works of the late French sculptor Pierre Hoquet (Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth - Inherited Turnabout). If the player decides on approaching to them, they are seen planning something, and seemingly were to put it on action. Desirée is proud as Ron followed her instructions, but quickly tells him that if he said he was Mask☆DeMasque, he would get arrested again, and if they didn't play properly, they wouldn't be able to see it. Their interaction finishes when Miles wonders about what they were talking about.

Moments

 * If the player presents Ron's profile to Desirée, she will describe Ron that even if he didn't look it, he could get the things done when he placed his mind on it (though she'll admit that it wasn't very often it happens).
 * After it, Phoenix wonders about what she saw on her husband.
 * If the player presents Desirée's own profile to her, she'll say the next: "As long as I've got my motorcycle and my Ronnie, I'm happy." Maya will then compliment it, but Desirée finishes by adding: "Oh, that plus a little excitement and a little shopping money ...THEN I'm happy." to which Maya will only describe how she was starting to sound greedy.

Fanon
It's pretty loved inside the fandom even if it isn't part from the most popular ships of Ace Attorney. This is because of the trope the ship has inside it, being Girlboss x Malewife, which is very common for het couples. Since it's really loved, fans are convinced that it's the only het ship available in the fandom, even if it's a side-pairing. Because of the canonicity too, it's loved as both Ron and Desirée are married.

On AO3, it has 35 works created.
