CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Darcy Lewis
Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Original or Alternate Universe: Nope.
Canon Point: End of Thor
Number: 059
Setting: Oh minor characters. Timeline of Earth-199999 (aka MCU Earth)
The setting is the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The year is 2011. The weather? Typical New Mexico - dry and hot. Can't a girl get a break? Iron Man's been around for a few years, keeping the peace, or so he says, and the Hulk has made national news. Captain America definitely hasn't resurfaced yet, but the stories from the war have built him up to be the hero of everyone's dreams. Thor's crash-landed on Earth, but SHIELD has hush-hushed it up, jack-booted thugs that they are. Superheroes exist, if only a handful, and their exploits are in the news weekly, if not daily. Aside from that, it's basically our world. Darcy's a normal, powerless girl, but she's been through gods crashing a tiny town in New Mexico, the most insanely melodramatic family spat she's ever seen, and saved a dog (and maybe some people) in the process. Not much will phase her right now.
History: Really not much is known about Darcy's history; she's a political science student who has ended up interning with an astrophysicist somehow. Throughout the course of the movie, we learn that she's a bit of a smart-mouth, but has a sharp wit and likes to jump into conversations with seemingly random additions at times. She deals with the fact that they've been chasing down a (for all intents and purposes) crazy, cut, homeless guy who may or may not have actually fallen from the sky with remarkable aplomb, fitting him in to her daily routine without much suspicion.
When we first meet her, she's in charge of driving the van while Jane and Eric do their science-y schtick, and it's clearly a common occurrence, given how easily she gets bored. She's the first to notice the storm signaling the Bifrost, and while initially, she's up for driving towards it in excitement and interest, the self-preservation tendencies that Jane clearly lacks when it comes to science take over and she tries to turn them around. Her life was not supposed to be Stormchasers. Not for six credits. At this point, Jane grabs the wheel, or tries to, so it is definitely Jane's fault that they hit Thor. And she has no qualms about tasing him - he may be hot, and she would've gladly performed CPR, but hey. He was getting a little aggressive.
After taking him to the hospital, the team goes back to the lab to analyse data, where Darcy, while Jane and Eric are arguing - a constant - notices that dunduhduhdaaaah the guy who fell out of the sky onto their van actually fell out of the sky. So it's back to the hospital they go, and with Jane behind the wheel, it's only a matter of pulling out the van before they find him - seriously, her behind the wheel of the van is like a magnet for Thor. Then it's back to the lab, where they find him some clothes, which is a shame, because those hospital gowns with that ass? Yeah. Darcy appreciates his physique and skills at putting away food while Jane, as usual, is preoccupied with science. Come on. Thor then is convinced some satellite no one can lift is his, Myuh-myuh or something or other, Eric forbids Jane from going with him, which is like a huge sign saying "GO DO THIS LATER" if Darcy ever saw one, and they part ways. Only to find that somehow they missed the government moving in and packing them out while Thor was packing away pancakes.
With all their equipment gone, the biggest loss being Darcy's iPod (come on, you expect her to stay sane analyzing data that doesn't make sense to her without some tunes? It's pretty much the reason the town wasn't destroyed before Loki got to it), Jane goes after Thor. He gets in, gets trapped by the government, and then Jane has to convince Eric (with a lot of support from Darcy) to go get him out. She then wakes up to find him there, making eggs, and there are many, many raised eyebrows and smirks all around as she takes in the damage done the night before. And THEN WHAT'S THAT? More gods appear, banging on the glass and oh shit, there go the coffee mugs. Well now it's clear Thor is either telling the truth, or mixed up in some really weird shit. Though that Fandral guy's kinda cute.
Yet again, it takes Darcy to notice that oops, the Bifrost just spat someone else out. So well, Thor really was telling the truth. And now they're fucked. Because the Destroyer, due to some power struggle family drama sibling spat Thor and his brother have, is being true to its name and destroying everything. They scramble to get everyone out, Darcy adopts and saves a dog in the span of minutes, and almost everyone almost dies. Then Thor's got his powers back, he flies, and they're off to Asgard again. Not without Darcy charming Fandral (and vice-versa - why can't all men be charming like alien gods?), so hey, it was a successful day.
After that, SHIELD gets all their equipment back, so life continues on as normal, but now they're working under SHIELD, Darcy never goes anywhere without her taser, and life is just a little bit weirder for knowing that Jane is long-distance dating a millenium-old alien.
Personality: Darcy is a political science student doing a side project/internship with Jane Foster, an astrophysicist, for completely unknown reasons. Did Jane fuck up the recruiting poster? Is Darcy just insane? Was Darcy's school in a terribad location and she was tired of being constantly snowed in and having to take tunnels everywhere and wanted to go to New Mexico for some well deserved warm R&R, not knowing she'd be saddled with a crazy workaholic astrophysicist and then meet alien gods with magnificent power and abs (and appetite)? I mean, come on, six credits for an off-site program should be a /cake walk/. Most summer programs are at least 12. So Darcy deserves at least a degree out of this. B.A in Multicultural Communications or something like that. Although she'd probably title it "B.A. in How to Deal When Norse Gods are Real and Cut Like Fitness Stars But Have Really Fucked Up Family Issues." She’d be the only graduate.
Darcy is a talk-first, think-later type with sarcasm to spare; whatever she's thinking about the situation comes out of her mouth. This goes for her actions as well, seen when she tasers Thor out of the blue. She basically tasers a drunk stranger for no reason other than he was yelling at everyone and everything and stumbling around. Okay, threatening them a little, but hey, she pointed the taser first. She is also very proud of this fact; she’s not the type to back down from what she’s said or done just because someone is a little critical. She’ll learn from the situation, and may do something different the next time around, but will defend her previous actions. She's the type to add in random tidbits of information, butting into conversations because she feels something needs to be known, but all with a dry wit. This is where the gossip comes in. She loves getting and spreading information, of all types. It lends to her being pretty observant; she was the one to notice Thor was in the wormhole, even though she wasn't the one who originally took or printed out the pictures, or even really cared about the storm in the first place. For all her smart-mouthing, she is actually a pretty good worker - even though she can't do the analysis or interpret data to specification, she can observe and put things together, and she's good at it. She’s the organizer; Jane gets bogged down in the science and the details, and it’s up to Darcy to look at the bigger picture and make sure everything is set up and ready to go. Even though astrophysics is definitely not her field, she puts her all into what she can do. She's sharp and observant, and while she may not always know things facts-wise, she knows people. The morning after the SHEILD raid goes down, when Thor is helping Jane make breakfast, her facial expressions say it all. She knows why Thor is still there; she knows why he's helping make breakfast; she knows why Eric is groaning like he's just lost years of his life. The mischievous smile she can't hold back and the look she gives to Eric once Thor’s back is turned just says everything. She is also very easy-going and accepting, just sort of rolling with things as they happen and reacting as they do, rather than constantly planning and overthinking; she leaves that to Jane. It helps her fit into a lot of different situations; when Thor comes in and confuses everyone, while Jane is too busy swooning and Eric is too busy being suspicious, Darcy just curtseys and grins and goes with it and enjoys the hell out of it. She’s got a mischievous streak, or more accurately, she does what she enjoys or thinks she or others will get enjoyment out of, which tends to be the more mischievous route.
She has her priorities; while Jane is preoccupied with getting her data about the storm from Thor, Darcy is more occupied with the social aspect; why the hell Thor is acting the way he does (as well as where the hell he puts away all of his food). When SHIELD comes in and swipes their stuff, Jane is bemoaning losing her research, Darcy's busy worrying about her iPod. So she's a little self-centered, but really, she means well; she's trying to lighten the situation, level the ground, offer something of equal emotional/”wtf why would they take that” value as the data, since she is not as emotionally invested in the actual research. She doesn’t always know exactly what to say, but she always has something to say, and her heart is usually in the right place.
Abilities, Weaknesses and Power Limitations: Darcy's normal, through and through. She can wield a taser with some skill at this point, but her greatest ability is her ability to look at a situation and come up with an answer. Weaknesses include the fact that she is a college student that probably doesn't work out much.
Inventory: Taser, hat, and glasses.
Appearance:
Short and busty, and switches between wearing contacts and glasses fairly frequently.
Age: 22
SAMPLES
Log Sample:
Darcy has never been the earliest riser - it comes with the territory of being a college student - but especially these days when Jane drags her out to the desert to chart the stars or anomalies, she's never hated her alarm clock more. She opens her eyes blearily and swats at the beeping nuisance, wishing SHIELD had taken everything.
You'd think with the hours they keep, especially in the summer, when it takes until almost 10:30 before they can even start collecting data, she'd get a little leeway in being able to sleep in. But no. She had to intern for a workaholic. She's never been more grateful for coffee, especially Izzy's coffee (she swears the woman has a special pot set aside for her and Jane, brewed double strength, even as she shakes her head over the two of them) than the weeks she gets three hours of sleep per night consistently. She loves Jane and all - she's a sweetheart to work for, even if she is a little naive to, well, pretty much everything outside of her own experiments - but there are definitely days when she wishes they could just be nocturnal and not have to analyse data during the day. Collecting data by moonlight, analyzing star charts by daylight....she'll work on it.
But now the song is stuck in her head, and she hums a few bars of it, as much as she can recall without coffee kickstarting her brain anyways, digging through her closet. At least today there's a better reason to be up early. She'd known that there was no way Eric would let Thor sit with those SHIELD lunatics if Jane wanted him here - both because she didn't think she'd ever seen him refuse Jane anything but also for the sake of data (oh scientists) - and there was no way Jane was just going to send him on his way right afterwards. Which meant breakfast. Which meant the possibility of him not wearing a shirt again. And between that, getting to see Jane fumble around him, Eric's face at having to witness that, and possibly getting breakfast that wasn't cereal or from Izzy's diner, suddenly, Darcy was totally awake and ready for the day.
