↳ Darlene Morrison never necessarily had it — for the lack of better word; easy. Just like any other teenager, she would struggle with both her personal life and social life. Family wasn’t exactly always there for her; considering the constant absence of her parents due to how busy her father is with work, and how her mother lives in another State. When Darlene was younger, her parents had decided to split apart, no longer wanting to be together. Sure, it affected the young girl and had a major impact on her, but the brunette has managed to get over the past and move on, in hopes that the future is bright. Darlene was always different from others; and as she got older, and hit the certain age of sixteen; she comes to discover that everything is not what it seems, and that she is different. A werewolf; that is what she was. How did she discover this? The worst way possible, triggering the werewolf curse and not having a clue of what is to come next. Nor was she aware of the agonizing pain she would be going through every single night the moon was full. It was all too much for her to bare; and on her first night of the full moon, she didn’t understand what was going on. Thankfully her father had been working later than usual that night and he hadn’t discovered she was a beast. Darlene refused to tell anyone about this; for the fact she really wasn’t sure who to trust anymore. This was something major, and needed to be kept to herself.
As years passed, she adapted to the werewolf lifestyle and became more used to it all. The pain however, was something she would never get used to, although it isn’t as painful as the first transformation. Darlene finds herself in a huge mess after encountering a mysterious man, who claims to be known as ‘Klaus’. Not sure as to why he seemed interested in her, or the other werewolves in town, she tried to stay away from him. But he was different — stronger. Against her will, she was forced to drink his blood, and before she knew it, the darkness took over, and everything became a blur. Darlene woke up again, only to be utterly confused as to what had happened, or what was going on. So many questions that were soon to be answered. She had become a hybrid; half werewolf, and half vampire. Darlene sure as hell wasn’t aware that vampires existed! Although that’s when it all made sense to her; the ‘animal attacks’ and what not. She wasn’t the only one to be turned into this abomination, there were other werewolves that had been turned into hybrids as well. As much as the brunette tried to ignore the Original Hybrid; she simply couldn’t. It would appear she was sired to him, just like every other hybrid. It was then that Darlene discovered there was a way to break the sire bond, and be freed from being Klaus’ little pet. She didn’t know how it would work, but she ran off, far away from Mystic Falls to find herself help. At first, she was glad she had found the power to run away like that, and a bit surprised to that; but it was only a matter of time that she found herself returning to the town, after a few weeks of searching aimlessly for help on breaking the sire bond. Now, back in Mystic Falls, she tries to keep a low profile, even if the loyalty she has for the Original is screaming on the inside to go to him and help with whatever it is he needs assistance in.
