## Background Narrative

### Darcy Lewis: 1972 - 1981

Darcy Lewis was born to Patricia Lewis, a single mother in Philadelphia who had a penchant for sarcasm and quick wit. This talent for snark seemed to have been passed down to Darcy. Growing up without a father figure, Darcy developed a strong bond with her mother. Early on, Patricia instilled in her daughter the importance of education and self-reliance. Darcy excelled in school and discovered her passion for anthropology around the same time her mother got a new job in Pittsburgh, resulting in mother and daughter relocating across the state. Darcy's interest in anthropology may have stemmed from a sudden lack of friends and her hanging out at the library where her mother was now employed, as her mother couldn't afford to pay a babysitter to keep Darcy out of trouble. Or maybe she just found a fascination in studying human societies to make up for the lack of one in her personal life.

### Darcy Lewis: 1981 - 1990

Later in high school, Darcy took an interest in boys and, despite her sarcasm and her constant eye-rolling these boys seemed to reciprocate her gazes. Patricia Lewis wasn't in a rush to be a grandmother forced to raise another kid because her kid couldn't control her hormones, so she insisted that Darcy try out for the girl's softball team to occupy her time after school. Darcy reluctantly gave it her best shot and was thoroughly disappointed when she made the team. However, at least this is where she met Jane Foster. The two quickly became inseparable, forging a lifelong friendship. The two girls supported each other through a variety of personal struggles and academic challenges that I won't get into here, but suffice it say, that each served as a source of strength and encouragement, and their friendship became iron-clad.

### Darcy Lewis: 1990 - 1993

After high school, Darcy followed Jane to the University of Pennsylvania, where she pursued a degree in Anthropology. As roommates and study partners, Darcy and Jane developed an even stronger bond, providing mutual support as they navigated the complexities of higher education. Darcy's wit kept Jane on her toes, and the two would often exchange banter while studying long into the night. From what I gather, the two made a good team with Jane doing most of the boring homework and Darcy introducing the more introverted Jane to boys and making sure Jane took time to appreciate their college experiences... whatever that entails for kids these days.

### Darcy Lewis: 1993 - 1995

I won't get into the specifics as to how Darcy ended up working as a Shield consultant, you can read Jane's file for that information, but it happened. And since that time, Darcy has proven to be resourceful and adaptable, utilizing her skills in anthropology and her strong bond with Jane Foster to assist in various missions. Her quick thinking and ability to stay calm under pressure, all while maintaining a biting sense of humor, make her a valuable asset to the team. And if nothing else, she's always good for a laugh when things start to feel too serious around here.

## Shield Analysis

### Special Value: 1

* **Relationship with Donald Blake:** Darcy's close friendship with Jane Foster and their history of working together effectively make her a valuable addition to Jane's progress. Though she does not have as intimate a relationship with Donald Blake as Jane, Darcy has a stronger relationship with him than most of my Shield agents and Donald Blake would prefer to deal with Darcy should Jane be unavailable for any reason.

### Heuristics Value: 3

* **Athleticism:** Darcy's background in softball and general fitness provide her with a solid foundation for handling physically demanding situations.
* **Basic Self-Defense:** Like Jane, Darcy has received basic self-defense training, which can help her protect herself in potentially dangerous situations. Her defensive ability isn't as effective Jane's, which is perhaps why Darcy carries a Taser Public Defender. If anything, she's a little too eager to deploy it when things get too confrontational for her liking. Though, I guess it's fortunate that she did as that's how we learned Donald Blake seems to be immune to electric shock.
* **Near-Sightedness:** Darcy requires glasses to see effectively at a distance. Darcy will often take her glasses off to flirt with a handsome man that catches her eye, which is why Jane will call her "Sexy Squints." Still, even without her glasses, she's somehow a better driver than Jane.
* **Wit and Sarcasm:** Darcy's sharp wit and sarcastic humor often serve as an effective icebreaker in tense situations, helping to defuse tension and lighten the mood when needed. Of course, it can (and has) complicated things as well.

### Intellectual Value: 4

* **Academics:** While clearly not as gifted as her friend Jane, Darcy's passion for anthropology and her academic achievements make her a valuable asset when it comes to understanding the cultural context and history of various artifacts or situations.

### Expertise Value: 3

* **Anthropology:** Darcy's expertise in anthropology can be beneficial when dealing with situations that involve the study of human societies and cultures.

### Logistics Value: 2

* **Linguistics:** Darcy is fluent in English and has a working knowledge of Spanish and French, which can be helpful in various situations that require communication or translation.

### Director's Value: 1

* **Security Clearance:** "Darcy Lewis may not be the most experienced or formally trained Shield consulting analyst, but her resourcefulness, wit, and strong bond with Jane Foster make her a valuable addition to our team. As a consultant, she's proven herself capable of handling difficult situations, and her unique perspective and anthropological knowledge can be an asset in the field. I'm just not a fan of her dumb pirate jokes..."
