History

Background

The O’Dwyers’ roots in Detroit go back to the 1840s. Once prominent in local politics and industry, they preserved their fortune through the Great Depression, but their luck changed when they fled to the suburbs after the 1943 race riots, and by the time of Darcy’s birth they were merely middle class living beyond their means. Still, she had the best of everything: expensive private schools, summers at Interlochen, modeling classes, a Sweet 16 party at the country club. Her looks, voice and natural grace might have taken her to Broadway (nothing so vulgar as television or film for her).

Then the banking collapse of 2008 forced her parents to declare bankruptcy and move to a trailer park.

Darcy did not thrive in her new environment. Her grades declined, and she avoided falling in with the wrong crowd by making no effort to find friends at all. Generally seen as “stuck-up,” she might have been beaten up by the tough girls, and worse than that by the boys, if she hadn’t discovered a previously-unrealized native aptitude for brawling. College and Broadway were fading dreams; a future in retail seemed more likely.

Rising Conflict

Apparent salvation came in the form of a large cash bequest and larger trust fund left by a lately-deceased Irish-American multimillionaire distantly related to the O’Dwyer family—enough to move Darcy’s parents out of the trailer park and set Darcy up for life. Of course, there were certain formalities to be observed—the O’Dwyers’ benefactor had been a practitioner of the Old Faith, and the will specified a ceremony to be carried out before the funds could be turned over. The blood oath, Darcy was assured, was purely symbolic, and she couldn’t let her parents down, could she?

That night, Darcy became the first Knight of the Dusk Court to walk the Earth in a very, very long time.

First Adventure

A Darkened Web

The “trustees” had long-term plans to develop political influence, so off Darcy went to DC to attend American University. Her superiors bent to her desires enough to let her take a five-year double major in international affairs and musical theater. Sleep? Ha ha ha! You jest, my friend, you jest!

At first, Darcy thought the hallucinations and spells of lost time were the result of overwork. In fact, she was under attack by a psychomancer whose web of influence she had disturbed while pursuing extracurricular assignments for the Court. Could she hold her mind together long enough to gather the allies she needed to fight the Trapdoor Spider? And would her allies turn on her when they found out who she really was and whom she represented?
