Liberty Darlington

Liberty (Libby) Darlington is a main character on City of Angels.

## History

Liberty is the eldest daughter of Angeleno and Artemis Darlington. Her younger brother is Logan Darlington.

## Season One

The series opens with Liberty experiencing flashbacks about an event eighteen years ago, when she was a two year old toddler. She starts to recall seeing her mother, Angeleno, standing over a dead body. She suggests to her father, Artemis, that she should see a therapist to work through her strange nightmares, but Artemis tells her she is just being stupid. Her flashbacks continue, and she eventually remembers a body being buried under the home. Angeleno confesses to Liberty that a murder did indeed take place eighteen years ago. Angeleno told Liberty a crazed fan had tried to kill Angeleno, and she murdered him in self-defence. Angeleno stated she wasn't thinking when it happened and opted to bury the body in the home to prevent a scandal impacting on her fresh acting career.

Later in the season, Liberty overhears Angeleno and Artemis discussing the true identity of the dead person. Angeleno confesses the body actually belonged to Liam Darlington, the twin brother of her father, Artemis. Angeleno had told Artemis she shot Liam in self-defence, but Angeleno reveals Liberty, at two years old, was actually the person who shot and killed Liam. Artemis brands Angeleno a liar, but Liberty experiences another flashback wherein she recalls shooting the body of Liam.

As Liberty tries to manage the guilt of having killed her uncle, she experiences a final flashback wherein she recalls being encouraged to shoot Liam by Artemis in order to protect Angeleno. Liberty runs home to confront her father about his role in orchestrating the murder of Liam. When she returns home, she walks in on Artemis, who is in fact Liam, confessing to having switched him and his twin brother, orchestrating his murder, and assuming his identity for the past eighteen years. With Liam's secret rumbled, he becomes unstable. Liberty tries to protect her mother by shooting Liam, but the nearby gun was out of bullets. She is then held hostage alongside Angeleno and an injured Logan, but is eventually rescued by authorities.

In the season finale, Liberty returns home and discovers an intruder in her bedroom. She attempts to flee the scene and falls down a flight of stairs in the process. The season ends with her lying unconscious over the intruder, who is revealed to be detective Demario Channing, the detective who saved them from Liam.

## Season Two

Liberty returns to Oasis Springs for Angeleno's birthday party after having been volunteering in Africa for six months. She introduces her friend, famous actress Nyomi, whom she befriended while on her travels.

Liberty initially argues with Nuwa over a smashed glass. Liberty was unaware that Nuwa had been blackmailing Angeleno into being nicer to her. Nuwa is furious with Liberty for speaking to her in a manner that was typical of the family prior to Nuwa blackmailing Angeleno. She then encountered Demario Channing, and threatened him with the knowledge that he was intruding in her bedroom six months ago. Despite Demario's attempts to justify the situation by stating he was there in his business as a detective, his inability to provide a warrant for the raid led Liberty to branding him a "dirty cop". She tells Demario to watch his back, and Adriana overhears her threatening him. Adriana asks Liberty about the threats, but Liberty disregards them.

Liberty is then pushed from the ship into the sea by a mystery person at the party.

Liberty is discovered alive and well at a mysterious location by Demario Channing, after he intercepted a text Liberty sent to her mom, Angie, asking her to meet her.
