Damien Nazario

Damien, a character in the Perfect Match series, is a private investigator and your character's friend. He is also a potential love interest. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1 .

Appearance
Damien has brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin complexion, and a light stubble. He wears a brown jacket over a white shirt and black necktie.

In Book 2, he wears a maroon henley shirt and his stubble has grown.

Personality
Given his occupation as a private investigator, he is shown to be cynical and looks for the worst in people. He is very off-put by Eros' guarantee of finding a 'perfect match' and finds them shady. In Chapter 3, it is mentioned he used to be part of the New York Police Department, but resigned due to the stress the life or death situations were causing him. He describes himself as self-sacrificing and on numerous occasions shows that he would rather put himself in danger/harm's way than those who he cares about. In Book 2, Chapter 5, he is shown to be competitive. As Your Character puts it, he goes all out to make sure he wins.

Your Character
At the start of the story, Damien is shown to care about your character's well-being and looks out for you. In Chapter 3, he seems surprised and flustered if you answered yes to finding him attractive in a game of Truth or Drink. In Chapter 9, you discover that Eros found him ineligible for a match because he has a strong romantic attachment to Your Character. In Chapter 11, Damien confesses to you in a premium scene that your friendship has meant a lot to him. Your Character got him to laugh, kept him from drinking alone and invited him to places. He considers you the one constantly good thing in his life because you've always been there for him when he needed you. If you decide to kiss him, he also tells you that he has waited four years to kiss you. He goes onto joke how he has more than proved his patience. If you decide to pursue Damien as an LI, he reveals that he realized his feelings for you after a year into your friendship, after you had just gotten dumped. Instead of crying, you laughed at your drunken clumsiness. He also states that Your Character is his greatest strength and his greatest weakness, a romantic paradox.

Nadia Park
Nadia is one of Damien's friends. They have known each other for four years. In Chapter 3, it is revealed that he came into contact with the Park cousins after he was hired to deal with a stalker sending Nadia explicit drawings. After Steve's disappearance, he is shown to worry about her and is willing to help Nadia find Steve. He is shown to be as protective of Nadia as your character, and would do anything to prevent harm coming her way. Nadia and Damien often do tag-teams to tease your character when the chance arises.

Alana Kusuma
She and Damien both used to work for Interpol and at one point dated. He still harbors negative feelings towards her when they meet again in Berlin, but is slowly letting go of it due to his friendship with the Park cousins. After she made a deal with Eros, Damien says that he is no longer surprised. In Book 2 Chapter 3, he seems happy to see Alana.

Damien's four sisters
In Chapter 6, Book 2, Damien opens up about his family and tells Your Character about his sisters. He is the second-oldest of five siblings. Hope is the oldest and used to pick on all her siblings equally, which is the reason why two of his younger sisters, Isabela and Carina, relied on Damien to help them. They even came to his high school to talk about their middle school problems, negatively affecting his popularity. His sisters also had many sleepovers, which did not go well for him; for example, they hogged the landline, calling up their crushes and hanging up on them. This is why he does not consider sleepovers any fun. He tells Your Character that after Beitan, he couldn't face his family and didn't have contact with them for four years, but that he would like to try to repair the relationship.

Dames
In Perfect Match 2, Chapter 3, Damien in an effort to help Dames snap out of Cecile's control asks him if he knows where the name Dames comes from. Damien subsequently reveals that it was a nickname that his sisters first came up with. They were the only ones who ever call him that.
