History
_________________________________________________________
Darcy was born the middle of three children, with only brothers for siblings: her older brother, Evan, and her younger brother, Nolan. Her father, at the time of her birth, was a young politian slowly gaining power and making a name for himself in the American government. Her mother was, and has since been, a simple housewife. The patriarch of the Parker family was a large supporter of the Purge since the day it was decreed, and so he openly encouraged members of his family to partake, if they could do so without being harmed themselves. So illegal activites of varying sorts were always a common sight for members of her family, so long as it was during the Purge only. Otherwise, they were strictly good, law-abiding citizens. The kids were smart and got good grades, making sure to participate in activities that would reflect well on their father. Charities, various 'walk for such and such cure' events, soup kitchens... As the three children were close, they generally stuck together for such things, keeping each other from getting bored or too stressed out. Being the only girl, her brothers were generally quite protective of Darcy; even Nolan, despite the fact that he was three years her junior.
For the most part, during the annual Purges, the Parker children kept to fairly simple acts around their city. Mostly just vandalism of various sorts, though if somebody else had already broken into a store, they might just head on in. It was during one such night, the year Darcy turned sixteen, that the trio went in to a fairly high-end store with the windows smashed in. On their way out they were cornered by a larger group of older people - about in their mid-twenties, and none of them looking worse for wear. At least upper middle class. But they knew the Parkers, particularly their father, who had helped pass through a bill that year that had negatively affected the people in front of them. A fight broke out, and as neither Darcy nor her siblings were armed in any way, it didn't go well for them. She and Evan were badly injured, and Nolan was fatally wounded. It was a blessing to hear the siren go off shortly after; but it was too late for thirteen year old Nolan, who died in his sister's arms before an ambulance could arrive.
That night, in the hospital, she and Evan agreed to learn how to defend themselves. They spent the next four days in the hospital, but after that, the following three hundred and sixty one days were devoted to learning various forms of martial arts and being trained in the use of different weapons. They told their parents that it was, indeed, all in the name of self-defense. But in truth they had a goal. In their off time they put plenty of effort into tracking down the names and addresses of the ones that had attacked them during the last Purge. When March twenty-first came around again, they were prepared. The siblings drove to the house of one right before six o'clock, openly armed, and scared a confession from the young woman - she told them where she was supposed to meet her friends at five-thirty, and right as the sirens started blaring, they killed her and left her behind them. Darcy took her phone to text the dead girl's companions and trick them into thinking she was just late. So the group was still waiting where they were supposed to be when she and Evan pulled up, rolled down the windows, and began firing. They only missed one, and when he took off running, Darcy jumped out of the parked car and took off after him, tackling him to the ground and stabbing him three times in the chest. With the deed done she and Evan went on with their standard activities for the night, though neither of them would be the same afterwards.
Later that year Evan moved out to attend university out of state, and Darcy was left to spend the next purge alone. Though she knew how to handle herself now, the thought of being alone on that night made her fairly nervous. When it did come around she just partook in her usual Purge activities - breaking into stores and stealing what she wanted. Around three o'clock in the morning, however, she came across quite a scene - a man attempting to sexually assault a young woman. Darcy interrupted the act by coming up behind and cracking him on the head with the butt of her pistol, and as his intended victim turned and ran, she shot the offender twice. From then on, she had a mission she could carry out during the Purge. she had a mission now. Every year, there were plenty of women that were raped, and many others molested or simply harassed. And not all of it was during the Purge. She was going to deal with the filth that did it. With her father's security clearance it wasn't hard for her to get the information she needed, and it helped to give the girl something to focus on when school overwhelmed her, or when her father's expectations began to wear her down. When she turned eighteen, her father took her aside to tell her of a plan the United States government had for the future - to make the Purge a two day affair. He knew - and surprisingly approved - of her activities during the Purge. He believed that they would make her a stronger, more formidable woman. As she had just graduated high school the summer before, she had actually been hoping to take a year off from Purging before starting University, but apparently fate had other ideas. So, with her father's encouragement, she began preparing for that years double Purge.

Darcy is a startlingly good marksman and kickboxer. Some might mistake her sweet demeanor for innocence or cluelessness - she can actually tend to be quite merciless against those that she believes deserve it.
