## Biography

Daisy was born on October 28, 1995. She is the youngest member of the Hastings family. As a baby, many assassins wanted to get Daisy because she was with her family, who lived on a farm. Then her family decided to sacrifice their lives for Daisy until they found the secret underground to hide from the assassins. Then, Peter puts baby Daisy on the bed and sings a lullaby to her, which makes her happy and sleepy. Later, her parents and two older brothers, Arthur Hastings Jr. and Percival "Percy" Hastings Jr. watch her grow up as they still teach her to walk.

Ten years later, Daisy studied at Writhlington School such as math and English, but the only problem was she got conjunctivitis (known as pink eye) and sore throat due to the fact Daisy had an allergic reaction to pollen. She would sit in the nurse's office after the nurse called her parents on the phone about what happened at school. Daisy heard the voice coming from her mind because she reminds of something happening to herself. Suddenly the room is changed due to the effects of hallucination. Everything includes the nurse transforming into the 1930s. Daisy wakes up in a strange dream and thinks it is fake, but it turns out to be none other than the 1930s version of school. Finally, she gets out of the coma and exits the nurse's office, discovering the hallway entirely different from the present day.

She notices the students wearing school uniforms and rushing to different classes. One of the students had autism and was great at learning Biology and English. It was her uncle Percival "Percy" Hastings as a kid. Other students bullied him for not understanding things due to his difficulty speaking with peers. She was frustrated with them and told them to leave Percy alone. Daisy holds her fists and stomps, tapping a student's shoulders and then getting punched in the face. She gave a mean look; the students ran away from her.

Percy thanks Daisy for saving him from bullies. He told her what was happening there and thought it was a hallucination. She heard footsteps noise and was very scared about what would happen next. The hallway became standard after the effects wore off. Once the nurse is over and done with calling her parents. Daisy returned to the nurse's office and waited for them to pick her up from school.

Peter and Sally finally arrived at Writhlington School and saw their daughter with a runny nose due to the pollen allergic reaction. Sally was apprehensive about Daisy's pollen allergies. The nurse gave some medicines to get rid of the pollen allergies.

The next day, Arthur gave his younger sister a cup of tea and jerky to make her feel better. Daisy recognizes the jerky he gave of rats' rotten meat. In reality, beef comes from cows or other animals.

Arthur told her about how they made the V-meat a long time ago. But unfortunately, the people of Wellington Wells found out that V-meats are made from dead people because there are no cows and pigs in this city. So thankfully, people from England brought actual foods and drinks to Wellington Well.

## Physical Appearances

Daisy is a short, slim woman with black hair and brown eyes. She wears an off-shoulder long sleeved grey top with a pink bra underneath, black curvy leggings, light grey long socks, and dark grey sneakers.

As a child, she wears an overall with a light green shirt underneath and sandals.

## Personality

Daisy is usually a serious Englishwoman torn between hallucination and suffering from drug abuse. Daisy twitches her eyes and gives a creepy smile whenever something triggers her (either too paranoid or too insane). However, even though she's serious, Daisy can be hysterical and manic due to her drug addiction. All do is drink the tea, calming her down and back to normal. She can also take some medicine called antipsychotic that gets rid of the effects of schizophrenia.

Aside from her primary personality, Daisy can be shown as a reasonable and sensible woman because she can do her best by herself. For example, Daisy focuses on taking care of the kids. However, although she is excellent at helping individuals, sometimes Daisy makes a mistake. For instance, she listened to her older brother Arthur while giving an order to fuel the gasoline, but unfortunately, she ignored him closely. So instead, Daisy accidentally over-fuels the gas.

## Events of The Mysterious Quest

Daisy is now a young adult and lives in Wellington Wells, with her friends. She brought food from the grocery store and took out other foods like cans of grapefruit juice and jerky. Her two roommates, Kate and Max, saw many foods Daisy brought. Max grabs apples and V-meats while Kate grabs onions and potatoes. Then she explained to them about planning a field trip to the Garden District where they could have some fun times like taking a selfie, surfing, and visiting the abandoned houses.

But before they get ready for the trip, Daisy makes sure there are any supplies in the backpack. She needs to pour tea on the travel mug so Max and Kate can share it.
