Description
Leader of the three Order operatives who appeared in Cuthbert's tent in a feeling of electricity in the air. She has her hair pulled up and teased into ringlets, wears blue eyeshadow, has pink cheeks, and wears a strange scent which is unfamiliar to Cuthbert.
She announced the trio with:
DARLA: Cuthbert Lockton-Lloyd, we are your team.
Notes
- Sent from 1983, along with Gina Caramonte and Walker Bueller
- The trio cannot tell Cuthbert any further information, as doing so could upset the space-time continuum
- Chided Gina for bringing chewing gum to the 1880s
- The trio will follow Cuthbert's orders — though Jacob Johnston outranks him
- Claims, with the rest of the trio, to be from Lubbock, Texas
- Assisted the ritual that reanimated H.G. Farmswatter; most of the team vomited from the smell in the waggon
- Compared the hot springs to hot tubs — a reference the Hole party did not understand
- Helped pull Ms March off Cuthbert after she shot him in the springs
- In Session 11, Cuthbert made her second in command by standing order — if he is not around, Darla is in charge. She was alarmed, but also flattered, but also concerned, as this contradicts the Order's hierarchy
- Joined Jacob's search party when Cuthbert vanished and the trio's orders left them without a commander
- Had not heard of the Hollowed Ones
- Taught one of the Hole party the Order's secret handshake — which resembles the dance from The Parent Trap, hip bump included
- The trio were sent to Hole because they were told Cuthbert was doing good work
Open Thread
Cuthbert's standing order makes Darla his second, contradicting the Order's own chain of command. Does she follow it, report it, or both?
