Personality

Darlene has a quieter personality, unlike many of her siblings.<ref>“It’s good,” Aiden reassured. Darlene was the quietest in a lot of ways. She was the odd one out, when the others were what Aisha called high octane drama mixed two to one with nightmare fuel. Whatever that meant. He’d even defended Darlene when Aisha had said it, which had made Aisha laugh way too hard. - Excerpt from Interlude 10.z II</ref> She still participates in her siblings' banter, at times even getting aggressive in response to their teasing.<ref>He could feel the shift in the tension with that. Roman chuckled, Amias outright giggling. Darlene’s face got hot, and Candy barely reacted. Why did she barely react?

“Aww,” Candy said. “That’s a cute mental picture, isn’t it, Darlene?”

“Shut it, Candy. I have one nerve left and if you get on it, I’m going to take it and choke you with it.” - Excerpt from Interlude 10.z II</ref> She is fiercely loyal to her family and friends.<ref>This wasn’t the only time her mood had turned this black.

“Nobody’s taking them from me. I have a family, a job, and things I want to do.” - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref>

She has a habit of biting her thumbnail.<ref>Darlene was biting her thumbnail again. Aiden could feel the pain as she got to the quick, flinched, and felt her flinch in response. - Excerpt from Interlude 10.z II</ref> She has a strong aversion to being physically restrained.<ref>“Cuff yourself, then.”

She shook her head. She had to swallow gorge to keep from coughing or vomiting into her mouth. Just the idea of it brought her to that point, made her breathing uneasy. “I’d lose my mind.” - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref>

Relationships

Chicken Little

Darlene has a crush on Chicken Little, that he appears to be totally oblivious of until Lookout points it out.<ref>“I’m not confused. I really do like it, and I’m glad other people do too. I get being jealous.”

Darlene dropped one of the makeup things.

“Oh, whoops, foot in mouth,” Kenzie said. “Can I blame the pain drugs?”

“No,” Darlene said.

“You can blame the drugs,” Candy said, giving Kenzie’s lap a pat.

Jealous? Oh. - Excerpt from Interlude 10.z II</ref>

Appearance

Despite her age, Darlene wears lipstick.<ref>It was Darlene who looked crestfallen by how upset Chicken Little was. The girl wore bold lipstick despite being Aiden’s age, and it was that lipstick that marked his mask over and over places, even as he tried to look noble and normal. - Excerpt from Interlude 10.x II</ref>

Darlene's 'costume' consists only of a mask provided by Imp, designed to match Regent's. Her mask has a silver tiara pattern across the nose, forehead, and cheeks, with silver lips and black eyes.<ref>Darlene reached into her coat, pulling out a mask. Imp had supplied them, and they were all built around a theme. Darlene didn’t even remember Jean Paul, but apparently that was the style that they were matching to.

It made Imp happy, at least. Darlene looked at her mask, which had silver forming a kind of tiara shape, extending up the nose across the forehead, and down the temples, where they curled around to the cheekbones. The lips on the mask were silver, the eyes of the mask black. She fixed her hair around it. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref>

On one mission, she wore a coat, a velvet dress, and black tights with a silver pattern, as well as shoes given to her by Imp. She didn't consider this to be a costume, however.<ref>She supposed she, Juliette and Amias had masks, but Darlene had a hard time calling it costumes. They weren’t costumes any more than normal clothes were costumes. She had her nice coat, her velvet dress with the extra layers underneath, padding out the skirt portion, and black tights with silver-leaf pattern printed onto them. Her shoes were another thing Imp had provided her. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Darlene can form connections with anybody within eyesight. While connected to people, she can feel everything they feel and they can feel everything she does. When connected to multiple people, everybody can feel each other.^{[citation needed]}

This can be used in combat, by forcing her opponent to feel any of the pain they are inflicting on her, or that she is inflicting upon herself.

History

Background

She was raised by Heartbreaker. When she was five, her older sister 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. - 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.

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. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref>

Post-Timeskip

Darlene was adopted by Imp along with the rest of her family when her father was killed.

Gold Morning

Survived Gold Morning.

Post-Goddess' Takeover

Darlene accompanied Aiden to visit Lookout in the hospital, where she became jealous of the pair's rapport.<ref>Interlude 10.z II</ref>

When Breakthrough made plans with the Undersiders to take down Love Lost, Cradle, and March, Darlene was placed on a team with Tattletale, Chicken Little, Capricorn, Tress, Juliette, and Amias. She later singlehandedly took out Operator Red.<ref>Interlude 11.c II</ref>
