	As a teenager, Darby would frequent [[Blind-Eye Cave]] to escape her parents and their rules. She had many firsts inside the Cave including her first kiss as well as her first (and last) cigarette.

	Suffering from PTSD, Darby was returned to the United States in [[2016]]. Unbeknownst to her, in her time away, her family had been replaced by [[Dire Wraith]]s. While out for a walk in [[Mantlo Park]], her "father" tried to assimilate her only for her PTSD to make her immune to Wraith assimilation. While she first dismissed the experience as a panic attack, [[Rom]] soon descended and slew her family causing Darby to flee. Rom soon tracked her down however and flew off with her, where he convinced her that the family she knew was long dead something she knew in her heart. {{storylink\|Earthfall~~: Part One~~}}		Suffering from PTSD, Darby was returned to the United States in [[2016]].

	Darby convinced Rom to return to her house however so she could retrieve a memento of her family and offered to put Rom in touch with some friends of hers only for Rom to crush her laptop (which reeked of Wraith bio-circuitry), saying those friends may already be Wraiths. The discussion was halted when the town came to life and tried to attack the two, leaving Rom with no choice but to burn it to the ground with his [[Neutralizer]]'s ultimate setting. Darby then directed Rom to Blind-Eye Cave to recover his energy while explaining that [[Earth]] had no united planetary military. Within the cave, Rom opened up about his past on [[Elonia]] with the other [[Space Knight]]s before he suddenly flew off detecting a nearby [[Wraith Stalker\|Wraith signature]]. A group of soldiers arrived seconds later and took Darby into their custody. {{storylink\|Earthfall: Part ~~Two~~}}		Darby convinced Rom to return to her house however so she could retrieve a memento of her family and offered to put Rom in touch with some friends of hers only for Rom to crush her laptop (which reeked of Wraith bio-circuitry), saying those friends may already be Wraiths.

	However, the soldiers were Wraiths but they made no hostile moves. Their leader, [[Countdown (G.I. Joe)\|David Dubosky]], saw an opportunity to use Darby to bring Rom to them and gave her a Wraith EMP weapon designed to subdue Space Knights before he sent her off to her extended family. Boarding the bus however, Darby suffered a panic attack that all aboard were Wraiths and wondering if her extended family had also been replaced with Wraiths and got off near the coastline to think.

	Inside the base, Darby received praise from the humans before Camilla gave the signal. Firing her EMP gun at Rom's prison, the Knight broke out and began slaying the Wraiths. Darby herself was grabbed by the gullible [[Leonard Song]] before a soldier knocked her unconscious only for Rom to slay the soldier. When she recovered, she told the others to flee while she reunited with Camilla only to be horrified by the sight of Rom torturing a [[Wraith Soldier]] for information.

==Notes==
*Darby is identified as a corporal, which is at odds with her history as a member of the Air Force, as corporal is not a rank that exists in the U.S. Air Force. Corporal is a rank in the Army, while its Air Force equivalent is "Senior Airman".
