Doll Girl

Daffney Dane, also known as Doll Girl, is a 2nd generation superhero of Earth 11516.

## Physical and Personality Description

She has hazel eyes and short brown hair. Her skin is pale. Daffney has a petite but well-trained build.

She's not one to fade into the background; her presence is felt the moment she enters a room. Boastful and proud, Daffney is never one to shy away from singing her own praises. She revels in her accomplishments. Her braggadocious nature often comes across as endearing rather than arrogant. She can go from charming and sweet to blazing with anger in the blink of an eye. Her short fuse is notorious among those who know her well, and they've learned to navigate the shifting tides of her emotions with caution. Despite her temper, she doesn't hold grudges for long; her forgiving nature and big heart often lead her to quickly mend any rifts she may have caused. She might forget where she left her research notes one moment, only to unveil a groundbreaking discovery the next. While some might view her absentmindedness as a weakness, it's actually a testament to her creative and unorthodox approach to scientific exploration. Her mind is a constantly buzzing hive of ideas and connections waiting to be made. Daffney's honeyed drawl and use of charming colloquialisms captivate those around her, making even the most complex scientific concepts sound like poetry. She often uses her unique way with words to explain intricate molecular processes.

## History

Her origin story begins with her grandparents, Darrell and Martha Roberts Dane, the original Doll Man and Doll Girl. Darrell and Martha were legendary heroes in their own right, using their ability to shrink down to doll size and their skills in acrobatics and combat to fight crime and protect the innocent. They were beloved by the people of their city, and their legacy inspired many young heroes to follow in their footsteps. From a young age, Daffney was enamoured with her grandparents' stories of heroism and adventure. She spent countless hours studying their techniques and practising her own acrobatic skills.

The scientific research of her grandfather inspired Daffney to also study molecular physics and quantum mechanics. Daffney is employed by Vicform, but isn’t aware of her boss being a supervillain. One night, Daffney was working overtime and overheard a conversation between her boss and someone unknown to her. Her boss Ethan Cobblepot turned out to be a villainous information broker, who was planning on selling Daffney’s serum to the criminal underworld, so she raced back to her lab and destroyed all serums except for one. When the security guards came for her head, Daffney was forced to cause an explosion and escaped by drinking the last serum, permanently downsizing to the height of six inches while retaining the full strength of her normal size. She decided to take up the mantle of Doll Girl and carry on her grandparents' legacy.

### Year 2

She enlists the help of the Birds of Prey, to stop her boss Ethan Cobblepot, alias the Calculator. Daffney permanently joins the team and, despite her miniature size, proves her worth in stopping the magical threat of Gotham City.

### Year 6

Daffney is along the ride for all the events of Year 6.

## Powers

At her six-inch height, Doll Girl retains the strength of a normal-size woman, and she is a superb athlete and hand-to-hand combatant. In addition, the formula gave Doll Girl psionic powers, enabling her to incapacitate criminals with a mental blast. As Doll Girl, Daffney Dane wears a special costume made of unstable molecules that can temporarily restore her normal size (maximum 60 minutes).

## Trivia

She is named after wrestler Daffney Unger, who sadly passed away in 2021. Another influence was the original Ant-Man, but in general I stuck with Doll Man and Girl of the 1940s. The idea to even include a modern Doll Girl came through Casually Comics, so thanks for that.
