General Personality:
Daphne has a soft heart, she's very friendly and talkative. She's also a feisty and bold woman, who isn't afraid to say it like it is. If you make her angry you will regret it, because she doesn't forget and doesn't easily forgive. She's also excitable, hyper and energetic much of the time. More than happy to be impulsive and silly with anyone who won't yell at her for it, rules are usually just a guideline right? It's those military protocols you have to watch out for. Really though, she knows where the line is and does her best not to cross it.
The Backstory
History:
Daphne had a fairly uneventful upbringing on Aquaria, the highlight of her years was the annual summerfest once she was old enough to enjoy the festivities. She was the second daughter of Trista and Xander Laine, her older sister Mariah was five years her senior. The girls had normal sibling spats, but overall Daphne looked up to her sister very much. Which was the cause of some of their early fights, because Daph wanted to be like Mariah; following her around and copying her actions.
When Daphne was sixteen she got to be the maid of honor when Mariah married her high school sweetheart Daniel. Of course it saddened her when the pair decided to move to Caprica only a few months later for Daniel's job. It would be a better opportunity for them and she realized that, but didn't have to like it. She made sure to keep in touch with her sister though at least once or twice a week.
It was around this time that Daphne also began to develop a bit of a rebellious streak; hanging out with the wrong people, staying out late, going to parties...etc. Needless to say her parents didn't take kindly to her actions once they found out. It made for a rocky relationship between her and her parents for the next couple years because Daphne refused to change her ways. It was fun and she saw no harm in it. Once she turned eighteen and was able to move away from home with her parents Daphne didn't want any normal day-to-day job. So she sought an alternate path...as exotic dancer.
Another couple uneventful years go by until October 1998 came around with bad news for the Laine family. Mariah and Daniel had gotten into an accident, one that ended their lives. Immediately Daphne packed some bags and left to Caprica. After all was said and done, Daphne adopted Mariah's daughter Melody who was only five years old at the time.
With the adoption came many responsibilities, along with the realization that Daphne couldn't go back to the way things were. Melody needed a solid environment and her life had involved parties and dancing; that wasn't going to cut it anymore. So Daphne moved completely to Caprica and signed up to become part of the colonial military the next year, attending to become a raptor pilot. With the help of her parents she was able to hold onto the military career while they kept an eye on Melody while she was assigned to battlestars. Her new assignment is sending her to the Hyperion, just in time for the Ophion War Games.
