Me Trying To Justify My Over Worrying To Friends

me trying to justify my over worrying to friends

introducing: the brains

Welcome to Coolsville - a cool place to live! …except for right now, but that’s not really DARCY WARREN’S (KENNEDY MCMANN) fault, is it? Known as the BRAINS around town, SHE is just your friendly neighborhood RESEARCH SCIENTIST. Sure they can be JUDGMENTAL and ALOOF, but they can also be BRILLIANT and AMBITIOUS just like any other TWENTY-FOUR year old. That doesn’t mean they have anything to do with our string of recent chilling events, though… right?

HEADCANONS

darcy had a very loving childhood. the daughter of a literature professor and a law professor who taught in a nearby town, they were THRILLED when it was clear at a very early age that she was highly intellectual. they instilled in her a love of reading, which quickly translated into the ability for her to speed read.

they are both pretty successful in their respective fields and are also both mildly disappointed that she chose to pursue neither.

as a child they essentially taught her that failure is not an option and that she should strive for perfection always - exactly what a child should be hearing, yes?

her ability to socialize wasn’t exactly helped by skipping 2 grades in elementary school. add in the fact that she’s an introvert and she has pretty high social anxiety. sometimes it makes her seem like… well, a bitch. but most of the time that isn’t on purpose.

her (not total!) lack of friends started as a young age, when she got a reputation for being both a know-it-all and a snitch.

she has an eidetic memory and is a Huge Nerd who will spout facts at you if given the chance. Not Good with rhetorical questions. she will answer them.

she recently acquired her first doctorate - in environmental engineering. she got a ton of credits via AP and dual-credit courses in high school, so if she hadn’t wanted to test out a little bit of everything when it came to her coursework, she may have been able to finish even sooner. she is already planning ahead for her next academic pursuit - perhaps molecular biology?

she is judgmental. she forgets that not everyone knows what she knows and that sometimes what she considers common knowledge is really incredibly niche stuff. her tolerance for foolishness is low and she is occasionally blunt.

the default assumption with darcy is probably that she doesn’t like you, even when that isn’t necessarily the case. she is simply guarded and anxious and needs a little time to warm up to people.

tldr; she is a super smart girl whose intellect can be isolating. she has some walls up, but once you get to know her she’s nice enough.

AESTHETIC

warm orange, observant eyes, professional attire, classical music, decade+ old hits, soft sweaters, pristine white coats, mountain of books, bright starry nights, subtitles, chalk dust, sunrises, scribbled in the margins, fun facts, there’s a logical explanation for everything, stillness, silence.

CONNECTIONS

the beauty. childhood best friends. two peas in a pod, once upon a time darcy and bea were close as can be. but then darcy skipped two grades while bea was held back. nothing was quite the same after that. they managed to stay friends for a while, confiding in each other up until the bitter end, but when darcy left for college, they had a major fight that seemingly ended things for good.

the enigma. eventual unlikely friends. as a result of childhood bullying, darcy has always struggled with sticking up for herself. always happy to speak her mind in the presence of one or two of her trusted friends, add too many cooks to the kitchen and it's a recipe for disaster. call it stage fright, call it trauma, either way, dusk was able to pinpoint it pretty early on. it's nice to have someone who sees the value in your contributions sticking up for you.

the loner. roommate/on good terms. darcy loves her parents, but there was never any doubt when she moved back that she'd live on her own. she's moderately wealthy thanks to some patents for previous inventions, so she's renting a three bedroom house in coolsville. one bedroom is hers, one bedroom is her thinking room (a quiet space to work when not physically at work), and one bedroom is rosie's. it's maybe a little surprising that they get along as well as they do, but both girls understand the importance of alone time. and it's best for darcy that she doesn't live alone - she needs to socialize with others so she's not entirely hopeless.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

crush. now is NOT the time! maybe she's liked them for a long time or it was something she developed back in high school that she thought had gone away, maybe it's something brand new. either way, it's terribly inconvenient.
