Editing Darlene Vasil (section)

===Background===
She was raised by [[Heartbreaker]]. Her mother was severely malnourished during the pregnancy.<ref>[[Interlude 15.a II]]</ref> When she was five, her older sister [[Cherish|Cherie]] left, leaving her without any immediate family except her father.<ref>Darlene wasn’t sure why Tattletale had to do that.  It sounded so insincere, but it was the backhanded kind of insincere where she could use an eye roll or a simple denial to shrug it off if ever called on it.  Back when Darlene had turned five, Papa had been in a black mood for a while.  From what Samuel had said, Papa had wanted to collect Sidney Saile, the girl from Vancouver, and he failed.  That had been when Cherie had left and with Darlene’s mom being gone, she had no immediate family except Papa. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.c II]]</ref> She begged her father to go to school, and was eventually placed in a homeschooling network, where she was introduced to how insincere people could be.<ref>Her sister and some older ‘cousins’ had gone to school.  Cherie had.  It had seemed like a fairy tale.  The girls on television and in movies had gone to school and dreamed of being princesses and singers, even Sidney Saile had. Darlene had just dreamed of going to school.  So she’d begged.  She’d fought and even went on a hunger strike, until her dad made her eat until she was sick.<br/><br/>The compromise had been a homeschooling network and the homeschooling network had been Darlene’s introduction to the backhanded statements, the fake smiles, the two-facedness.  Mostly it was the dads and moms, but some of the other boys and girls had learned it too. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/01/22 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11.c II]]</ref>

She triggered as a consequence of her father going on a power-trip on her schooling acquaintances, sometimes after [[Jean-Paul "Alec" Vasil|her brother's]] escape.<ref name="II16.8">[[From Within 16.8]]</ref>
