### Debra Morgan: 1983 - 2002

Debra was born to Doris and Harry Morgan. At a young age, she became the foster sister to Dexter Morgan, whom Harry brought home after rescuing him from the scene of his mother's murder. Even at young age, Deb was though, foul-mouthed, and rompish. She grew up craving her father's attention, envying her brother Dexter for the amount of time Harry spent with him — particularly after her mother fell ill.

When Debra's mother died from cancer, the Morgans moved from Miami to Sun City. Shortly after this move, Debra decided she would follow her father into law enforcement, even stealing her father's gun one weekend to practice shooting while he and Dexter were on a fishing trip. Dexter found out and told Harry, who chastised Debra. Upset by her brother's apparent betrayal, Debra told Dexter she wished that Harry had never brought him home. However, she immediately regretted it and she quickly apologized — still, this caused some friction between Debra and Dexter for the remainder of Deb's high school years.

### Debra Morgan: 2002 - 2005

Out of high school, Debra worked as a receptionist and intern at the local DEO field office. Her father, now an agent for the newly formed DEO, had arranged the job for her. During this time, Dexter was away at college and medical school, and this afforded Debra an sample of one-one-one time with her father and plety of opportunities for him to mentor her. Debra was devastated when her father became ill from heart disease and became his dutiful caregiver, reminding him to take his medications, eat healthier, and avoid stressful situations whenever possible.

### Debra Morgan: 2005 - 2007

It is little surprise that Harry Morgan had to retire from the DEO due to his medical condition. Even with Debra's attempts to mitigate the factors that could worsen his health, Harry grew increasingly sick. During this time, Debra has applied with the DEO but has turned down an offer to enroll at the training academy due to not wanting to leave her father alone. Instead Debra took some criminal justice night classes as well putting herself through a satellite police academy training at the local community college.

Debra has considered becoming a police officer, as her father had been early in his career. This would have allowed Debra to stay near home to care for her father. But ultimately, Debra did not have to consider this option as her father's health took a sudden decline after an accidental overdose of heart medication.

Harry did not survive much longer. In the end, Debra and Dexter were at their father's side when he passed. The two realized that they were all that each other had left in their life. Perhaps this was the reason for Dexter decided to abandon his plans to become a physician and decided to join Debra as she was finally free to go to the DEO Training Academy in National City.

### Debra Morgan: 2007 - Present

Debra did well at the academy, easily qualifying for field work immediately after her graduation. With her father having been a highly respected individual, Debra's career was monitored by several individuals, namely Hank Henshaw and Mr. Bones, both of who were close friends of her father.

Debra spent three years hopping from one field office to another, bouncing from taskforce to taskforce, some high-profile and others less so. Eventually, Debra was able to transfer to the same meta-crime taskforce that her brother Dexter has been attached to since his own graduation. It was on her first case in Sun City that Debra met Rita Bennett, an abused wife to a criminal that Debra had arrested. Debra introduced Dexter to Rita and the two soon began dating (eventually getting married, much to Debra's excitement).

In 2011, Debra had a precarious encounter with the "Ice Truck Killer", a serial killer that Debra has been investigating. Fortunately, Debra survived her kidnapping. It seems Debra's escape may have spooked the killer as he has not resurface since.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **DEO Training:** Debra graduated her training with impressive scores and qualifications. Comments in her DEO file make it clear that many higher-ups are looking forward to see the sort of accomplishments Debra will make throughout her career.
	+ ***Athletic:*** Debra has always been a bit of a "tomboy", who engaged in sports and intense exercise throughout her life. She is a gifted runner, able to maintain a quick but measured pace for miles at a time. Judging by her thin build and the way she eats, It's quite likely she has an exceptional matabolism as well.
	+ ***Deception:*** Debra has been trained in undercover work. She has an exceptional knack for this sort of work, though she greatly dislikes such assignments.
	+ ***Driving:*** Debra is trained in high speed pursuit and various vehicular tactics.
	+ ***Interrogation:*** Debra is an accomplished interrogator, though she usually allows her senior partner to take the lead, and is thus more comfortable in a support role in interrogations. However, Debra can and will handle her own interrogations at times when necessity dictates.
	+ ***Interviewing:*** Debra has knack for interviewing witnesses, particularly those that may be guarded around law enforcement, such as sex workers. Since becoming an aunt, Debra is also becoming increasingly more comfortable around children — though considering who her partner is, it's little surprise that Debra usually interviewed children even before she had a tolerance for them.
	+ ***Investigation:*** Debra is considered to be an exceptional investigator.
	+ ***Marksmanship:*** Debra had a near perfect accuracy score with the standard issue sidearm at the DEO Academy. It's worth noting that she uses her father's gun.
	+ ***Martial Arts:*** Debra wa taught judo and various other martial arts by her father, and training with Dexter as a teenager. However, unlike her brother, Debra did not pursue the martial arts any further on her own, other than incorporating the techniques taught in the DEO Academy.
	+ ***Profiling:*** After her run-in with the Ice Truck Killer, Debra has become something of an amateur profiler. She is in the process of intently of studying psychology, human behavior, and literature on the theoretical scourge phenomenon.

### Weaknesses

* **Anger:** Debra has a bit of a temper. When angered, her normally foul-mouth does what many think is impossible — it becomes even more crass, profane, and vulgar.
* **Confidence:** Debra doubts herself a lot, despite putting a bold demeanor. With her father gone, Debra relies on her brother Dexter to build her back up, especially after a particularly rough failure or struggle in her life.
* **Crassness:** Debra talks like a season sailor. She has little to no verbal filter, peppering her language with profanity and colorful euphemisms on the regular.
* **Eyesight:** Debra is near-sighted. She usually wears contacts in lieu of glasses.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

* Like Dexter, Deb works for the DEO. However, she is an agent on a meta-crime investigation team, which allows her to follow her in father's footsteps and retain a close relationship with her brother. She also travels extensively, so much so that she does not retain a permanent residence and prefers to crash on Dexter's couch when she's not staying in a motel on the DEO's dime. She is known to have quite the profanity-laced vocabulary and a difficult time with retaining relationships.
* She was investigating a money laundering scheme and that's how she met Rita. Fearing for her life, Rita was hesitant to share information with the law enforcement but something about Agent Debra Morgan's assurances that she would be protected gave Rita the ourage to reveal the bruises and scars Paul had given her. This allowed Debra to arrest Paul for domestic abuse and then use that charge to bargain with him. Paul ended up turning on his criminal partners for a lesser sentence. Following the trials, Debra and Rita remained good friends. This prompted Debra to set Rita up on a date with Dexter.
* At age ten Dexter had taken apart each of Deb's dolls in some macabre recreation of his mother's murder. When Deb threatened to tell Harry and Doris, he begged her not to and promised to put them back together. She counter-offered, insisting that he played dolls with her... to which he reluctantly agreed.
