## Appearance

### Civillan

#### Physical Appearance

Darla is a tall woman with lightly tanned skin, blue eyes and brown hair with blonde highlights, which she wears in two small pigtails held with pearl hairties. She usually wears light makeup as well, such as pink blush and light red lipstick. She shares a resemblance to her mother.

#### Civillan Outfit

Darla wears a punch coloured sweater with fresh tight jeans and black boots with golden linings. She also has small hoop earrings with diamonds attached to the bottom. When she took the Ghost Talisman, she usually wore it underneath her sweater, but took it out when transforming into Mooroopna.

### Villain Form

As Mooroopna, Darla's appearance changes dramatically - she has grey skin and has light green eyes with thick cat-like pupils and moss green sclerae, with wavy purple lines of magic coming from the sides of each eye. She also has ice blue lips and the symbol of the Ghost Talisman faintly on her forehead. Her hair becomes black with blue highlights and is down, even longer and wavy. She has a long blue dress which covered her neck and had long blue sleeves with wide cuffs the backs of them coming up to the edge of her thigh, and a long skirt with a train and a slit showing her right leg; the skirt is also faded from indigo to blue. She wears dark blue heels and the Spirit whip wrapped around her waist, completed with a glowing blue horn on her head and giant green wings. The Ghost Talisman is in its active form.

## Personality

Darla is a serious person who likes to control how she works, and despises being ordered, especially by her controlling mother.

## Family History

### Early Ancestry

Darla's known ancestry goes back to the late 1800s with her great-great-grandparents Charles and Helen Leicester. Not much is known about them, other than they helped their daughter Celia bring up her son Albert after his father died young.

The story of the family is known more in the next generation, Sandy's great-grandparents. At some point Celia met George McRae, and they were later engaged and soon married. Before the wedding, George travelled to America to invite a close friend living there to the wedding, when he came across the Talismans in his friend's boss' shop. As nobody had even looked at let alone bought it, he was given permission to take it home by the boss, but what he didn't realise was that he had taken it without being made guardian of the airidans, which caused grave illness and later his death; George gave Celia the Talismans, along with a white pearl brooch, as a wedding present - at some point after marriage she discovered the Airidans and had been told she would be cursed as she was not made their official guardian. A couple of years later, George's illness started to take effect and he died in 1921 aged only 29 years old - it was more tragic as Celia was pregnant at the time. Heartbroken and not knowing what to do, she moved back into her parents' home where she gave birth to her only child the same year, a son named Albert George - named after his grandfather and late father. Years later Celia's parents died on unknown dates.

### Mid Ancestry

Celia raised Albert with her parents' assistance until they died. She educated Albert about the Talismans and Airidans in order for his to take care of them and so she would not meet the same fate as her husband. When Albert reached the age of 18, he was officially made the Guardian of the Airidans and the Talismans were passed down onto him. Albert rarely used the Talismans but when he did he used them for good and helped others; he also had a good relationship with the Airidans. In 1960, Albert married Gladys Truman, whom he moved into his parents' old house with after marriage. The couple had four children: Nathaniel Albert in 1963, Edmund Arthur in 1971 and their twin daughters Nevaeh Patience and Noelle Constance in 1973. Celia was in her late 70s by the time all her grandchildren were born, and later moved in with Albert and Gladys to be with family and to have better care, meanwhile Albert prepared his eldest son and child Nathaniel for becoming the next guardian of the Talismans as he was beginning to fall ill like his father, however it was because he had cancer and could not treat it. Albert passed away in 1980 at the age of , and Nathaniel inherited the Talismans at age of 17. Celia continued to live with the family to support them, and she developed a special bond between her and her granddaughter Nevaeh, who she gave her pendant to when she was dying, explaining how she wanted it to become a Talisman like all the others but didn't know how to; Celia died in 1988 at the age of 90, and Nevaeh took onto wearing her pendant everyday.

During the 70s and 80s, Nathaniel used the Dragon Talisman to become Asgorath, the Hero of Strength, and became part of the secret service serving as a top agent - only senior members of the team knew his superhero identity, along with his brother Edmund, as he worked with Asgorath as a sidekick behind screens, helping to locate crimes and mafia bosses etc. As well as this, Nathaniel decided to have another sidekick, working alongside him as a hero, in which he anonymously chose Farah Marsten, an intern at the agency whom he thought had pure knowledge and talent; she then became Neige Liberty with the Arctic Wolf Talisman, the Hero of Freedom, and they became an incredibly successful duo, known to the world and brought attention to millions of people. As well as this, Nathaniel and Farah secretly revealed themselves to each other, and had a secret romance, which led to their engagement and marriage in 2000, and they had their only child, Oliver Nathaniel, on 20th April 2004. After Oliver's birth, Farah gave up being Neige Liberty in order to be a mother, and Nathaniel continued to be Asgorath but only on secret missions the public were never informed on.

#### Additional Information

Nevaeh was the first to get married out of all the siblings - she married Kevin Weatherford in 1993, and had three children: Celia Destiny in 1994, Roseanne Jubilee in 2002 and Joseph Albert in 2005. Noelle was next - she married James Cooper in 1997 and also had three children: Marigold Charity in 1997, George James in 2001 and Sylvia Jeanette in 2006. Edmund married Clarice Stevenson in 2001, and they had five children: Darla Clarice on 18th June 2002, Alisande 'Sandy' Lucy on 6th May 2004, Kane Edmund in 2011, Oscar Arthur in 2014 and Delilah Rose in 2015. Clarice also used Darla, as her eldest, to try and take the Talismans for her to reclaim them as she knew the family were in hold of them and had also married Edmund just so she should get them back.

### Modern Ancestry

The modern ancestry is that all the family members except Nathaniel (excluding Albert, George and the Leicesters) are alive. Nathaniel was killed in a helicopter crash in October 2020 during a secret mission. Later in the book finale Pixiebell uses Nature's Timeline to send Bahamut back in time to see his father to help defeat Mooroopna, where he speaks to him, as Asgorath, one last time, before leaving as the helicopter crashes.

## Trivia

* Darla was not originally related to Oliver or Sandy, but this was changed to add more lore to the book series.
* Darla's villain name Mooroopna means 'Ghost Spirit' or 'Deep Water Hole' in Kaieltheban Tribal Language.
* Mooroopna's original name was Descendant, but this was changed.
	+ Descendant's design also had differences - Her dress had the same structure as Mooroopna, however there was bold light blue on the sleeve cuffs, the bottom of the skirt and the chest. She still had green eyes and purple magic on the sides, but her large green wings were more arched than angel-like and she had a grey unicorn horn.
		- Like Moonbeam, this could also be inspired by Nightmare moon from My Little Pony.
* Darla was always a villain, however her mother was also made one whilst the lore was being created and to add to it, Darla was made a reformed villain.
* Mooroopna's powers are inspired by Hawk Moth from Miraculous Ladybug.
