Daisy Mae Detten

Daisy Mae Detten is an Original Character created by Lucky107.

Appearance
Daisy Mae is sixteen years old and noticeably short in muscle mass, something that's frequently exploited by some of her more physically-fit peers. In spite of consistently skipping out on physical education, she's quick on her feet out of necessity and proves to be quite capable when it comes to climbing things.

Given her dominantly European makeup, Daisy Mae is fair-haired with blue eyes. Everything about her appearance on an average morning would suggest that she's only just rolled out of bed, leading some to conclude that she's not particularly concerned about her image. They're not wrong: she's totally comfortable within her own skin, uncharacteristic of a typical sixteen year old in an environment as unforgiving as Bullworth Academy.

Daisy Mae wears the standard girl's uniform in green, less a tie, with the general belief being that she was convinced not to wear it to mark her alliance with the local bullies, but she never officially identifies as a bully. When winter rolls around she adds a green Bullworth sweater to the ensemble, but little else changes.

She wears a loose-fitting baseball jersey and shorts to bed and she dresses as a retro roller waitress for Halloween.

Characteristics
In spite of being quick on her feet, Daisy Mae resents most forms of physical exertion and will only put in any real effort when she absolutely must. She's not a fighter, but she's certainly not a lover, either, and she frequently resorts to underhanded tactics as a means of getting what she wants. For this reason she prefers to employ stealth and manipulation as her weapons of choice.

Performing at average in both book smarts and street smarts from a life in the public education system, it's safe to say that Daisy Mae knows how to take care of herself—most of the time, anyway. She seemingly scores well in her academic classes at school, but her heart lies within the fine art of photography.

It's easy for Daisy Mae to appear friendly among her peers because of her passive nature, but most choose not to be friendly in return. In fact, with the reputation she sustains for her frequent abuse of power by blackmailing her fellow students for an assortment of favours with the camera she's permitted to carry as a member of the yearbook team, she's not very popular around campus by her junior year.

Daisy Mae is a cunning and observant character beneath the surface, but at a glance one would never suspect it. She's as charming as can be in conversation, if not a bit of a goofball, and she's perfected the art of deflecting suspicion. She often refers to herself as little more than a starving artist.

As a member of the yearbook team, she winds up doing a lot of work for the school newspaper - or anyone else who's willing to pay for all the dirt she's got.

History
Daisy Mae Detten was born in Los Santos, San Andreas on August 17, 1990.

As a child she was very aware: her father, a Wolfs International Realty agent with a penchant for accepting large bribes, was wrapped around her little finger from the day she was born and she knew it. She learned how to effectively manipulate those around her to her benefit while she was still in diapers, so she grew up wanting for nothing.

It was her eighth birthday when Daisy Mae received her first camera as a birthday present from her father. She had once excelled in her studies at school, but soon wound up too distracted by her new toy and by the age of ten she was never seen without it. That was how she discovered the leveraging power of a single well-timed photograph; she never received a grade lower than a B+ again. But even as her reputation around the schoolyard as a blackmailing weasel swelled, Daisy Mae maintained one asset that kept her out of trouble: a completely forgettable face. She was both infamous and anonymous all at once and she reveled in it.

The Detten family's carefully-constructed life came crashing down in the summer prior to Daisy Mae's sophomore year when her father ran into legal trouble (in an incident that drew on his daughter's natural 'talents' and backfired). They left Los Santos immediately, but her father's tarnished reputation was quick to follow. Daisy Mae was enrolled at the prestigious Bullworth Academy in order to obtain some stability and complete her education while her parents went on the run.

Dr. Crabblesnitch considered it a favour - which may or may not have been influenced by the Detten family's sizeable donation to the school - that Daisy Mae not be thrown to the fishes wrapped in the bait of her father's reputation. Given her prominent role as a snitch on campus, it was a decision he did not regret making.

Within her first year at Bullworth Academy, however, she had joined the yearbook team and was granted unlimited access to the school's available cameras.
