For more insight into the Daphne character, here is the short piece I wrote that I based her character on - I can not seem to link it, but it is on fictionpress.net under my name Aurelia Alair and is called "This is Best for Us."
Chapter 2
"So what do you think of the new group?" Sophie asked Peter after the Cliffhangers left the classroom.
"I think they have an interesting dynamic," he replied "I think a summer away from home is just what some of them need. But others, well one in particular, I am not so sure if any amount of therapy is ever going to really help. But that is why we are here, to try."
"You mean Daphne?" Sophie asked "What exactly happened with her? I haven't gotten her file yet."
"Yeah, I was looking over it again," Peter answered "She is going to be here for the regular year as well, but her mother thought it was best she start here as soon as possible. She was a real loner except for her neighbor, a boy named Adrian. They were each other's only friend. About 8 months ago they attempted a double suicide – walked off a cliff together. He fell to bottom and died instantly, but she got snagged and landed a ledge about halfway down. She was in a coma for 5 weeks and in recovery and on suicide watch for months after. She could never forgive herself for letting Adrian die alone. Her doctors and psychiatrists put her a series of medications and through intense therapy and think her suicidal urges have stopped for now, but she is no way recovered from her pain. Now that is our job."
"I had no idea, Peter," stated a stunned Sophie "I hope we are enough here to help her."
"So do I," replied Peter.
