Daisy Brown

Daisy Brown is the main character of the series. She documents her life through vlogs that she posts on YouTube. The subtitles in her videos have meanings and occasionally contain conversations between and/or with other characters. She is lesbian because in one of the subtitles she asks Curtis if she can have a girlfriend. While she's always tended to her fans, by scrolling through the comments on each video, it's obvious that they're mostly invested in Alan and his growth. In her hateful thoughts video she says “Who is *the author*?” All of her fans are curious of the characters in the subtitles. According to her Twitter account, she is 17 at the beginning of the story.

## Appearance

Throughout the entire series, Daisy's face is not shown. The only thing that we have to reference her face as is a picture that Alan has drawn. In most videos, you can see her from the neck down while sitting in front of the camera. Occasionally seeing the back of her head, viewers can see that her hair is darkly coloured, somewhat curly, and cut slightly below her earlobes. In later videos, Daisy can be seen with cuts, scratches, and dried blood on her body; wounds which most viewers assume were caused by Alan, seeing as the wounds increase following his growth of limbs and motor skills. She tends to wear t shirts, sweater, and sweatpants. By turning the captions on (for her videos), a glimpse into what she or Alan is thinking might occur.

## Personality

Daisy is an innocent, curious, and an anxious person. In "Q&A with Alan" she constantly shakes her legs and fidgets with her hands, showing not only that she has come to see him as a threat, but that to some extent, she fears him. In her earlier videos, she can be heard taking long pauses between words as she speaks, hinting that her skills in communicating might not be very advanced, which is most likely due to her lack of exposure to any society and sheltered life before discovering the internet.. As seen in her Twitter account and YouTube biography and video descriptions, she makes many typos and grammatical errors, showing that her education might not be adequate. She explains this in [video] and says it is because when she was younger, her father gave her a typewriter. She would type with the typewriter and could not fix her mistakes with a backspace, and so when she started typing on a keyboard, she did not try to break the habit of leaving her typos. Her typos are a large part of her identity and are essential to the story line since they differentiate her from other characters in the series.

## History

Based on what can be gathered through the subplots hidden in the closed captioning, Daisy's mother died during childbirth. She grew up believing she did not have a mother, and relied on her father, Curtis, to raise her. As a child, Daisy was very inquisitive, and would ask her father many, many questions. Although it is normal for a child to be curious and ask questions, her father did not like that she was so inquisitive. Instead of answering all her questions, he would have her write down the questions she had, and place them inside a box. He would then pull one question to answer. Many times he would tell her that her questions were stupid, and still refuse to answer them. One question he responded like this was to "Do I have a mother?" Daisy's father would not allow Daisy outside during the day because other people were not to be trusted, and so, Daisy lived all her life as a shut-in, knowing very little about the outside world. In early 2016, Daisy was introduced to Alan in the kitchen.
