“out of curiosity –” daisy began musing, stepping away from the punching bag she’d been previously putting her attention on, “sorry, i can’t beat things up quietly, it makes me think to much.” she sidetracked only for a moment, as she knew this wasn’t really the kind of setting most people made conversation in. “but how many near apocalypses can one person be involved in before they’re just considered a bad omen? kind of wondering if me just being here will make the world, ya know - kaboom.”
“I’m not saying i’m better than everyone here, that’s not at all what i’m saying.” nic always had her way of finding her way into situations where her overall self-confidence rains into her cockiness then floods into her inability to keep her mouth shut. “all i’m saying is, i could definitely kick your ass.” she spoke, hands on her hips, “ and not even just your ass, in general, i could kick every..anyone’s ass…”
she’d been there – the too confident and self-assured, usually warranted, sometimes not. daisy was fairly sure the younger girl had good intentions, and she certainly wasn’t going to dissuade that confidence. “good. everyone here has something special about them. you’re strong? i’m really happy to hear it. just don’t let it be the only special thing about you.” she wasn’t there to knock anyone down, only to make sure they could achieve their best. “plus, you just have to be prepared for anything.”

BACKGROUND:
biography:
when placed in an orphanage as an infant without a name of her own, the nuns that looked after her gave her the name mary sue poots – but as she grew older and realized just how awful that name was, she took up the name skye for herself instead. she spent her life in the system, bouncing around from foster home to foster home. some were good, others were not, but it rarely matter as she’d never spent more than two years anywhere. as she grew older, she never felt like she fit in anywhere and quickly grew desperate to find out who she was and where she came from. she learned how to hack and joined up with a group of “hacktivists” called the rising tide, and when her search for her parents only led to one redacted file from SHIELD, she pursued it further.
she was caught hacking the secret organization from her van and was brought in by phil coulson and the new team he was putting together. where most only saw a reason to have her arrested, he saw potential. he brought her along as a consultant and promised to help her find the truth about her parents. it became more than that to her, as she grew to care for the team and believe in the good they were doing. she was trained as a field operative and eventually earned a place as a true agent. skye was part of the team when hydra was exposed and SHIELD fell, even betrayed as the one that trained her turned out to be hydra.
skye was one of coulson’s most trusted agents when he dedicated himself as the new director of SHIELD, and rebuilt the organization in the shadows from the ground up. she quickly excelled in espionage and combat and eventually, she got the answers of her history. she found her father, a former doctor named calvin johnson – and he told her what her real name was, daisy johnson. through a series of events, daisy was exposed to the terrigen mist and triggered her inhuman gene inherited from her mother, gaining the power to manipulate vibrations. she eventually met her mother, jiaying, as well – but she’d grown bitter with humanity after being tortured by hydra. she tried to have daisy at her side in a plot to expose the world to terrigen, that would force humans to either undergo an inhuman change or die. daisy was ultimately able to stop her, but some terrigen still reached many humans, but due to dilution, it was nonfatal.
daisy continued her work with SHIELD, finding and helping people that turned inhuman and helping them learn control of their powers. after losing someone she loved, daisy temporarily left SHIELD in an attempt to cope and as her powers garnered public attention, the media dubbed her with the name quake. she rejoined her old team but was forced to expose herself and her identity when the sokovia accords came out and SHIELD was back in the public light and facing scrutiny for her public actions with her powers. her life has taken many twists and turns, including a visit to a dystopian future where she may or may not have quaked the earth in half and became known as the destroyer of worlds – though they were able to prevent that. when she learned of another possible apocalypse, she offered to do what she could to help.
vibration manipulation ( concussive blasts, vibrations absorption, disintegration ): daisy gained the ability to manipulate and enhance vibrations which can produce effects such as earthquakes and shockwaves. she is able to sense and tap into the vibrations around her. her powers are connected to her heart rate, and as a negative result she can lose control of her powers whenever her heartbeat increases during stressful situations. her body is able to withstand enhancing and releasing intense vibrational waves, however attempting to forcefully internalize or hold back her powers will put an excessive strain on her body and may lead to internal injuries like ruptured veins, hairline bone fractures, or other severe consequences, which requires her to use gauntlets to help absorb the vibrations.
