Profile[]
48 years old as of 1969, Daphne has long brown hair and brown eyes, along with donning black glasses. She is seen wearing a dark blue lab coat over a light blue undershirt, along with wearing a silver necklace holding a ring. In her casual wear, she sports a yellow shirt with a floral pattern, along with two silver earrings.
Daphne was formerly trained as a surgeon in Easthaven General Hospital, before she resigned to join the Easthaven Crimes Force as their Chief Medical Examiner (Coroner). Daphne sometimes finds her job monotonous, but finds great intrigue in the more puzzling cases. She also likes to quip puns about the bodies she is sent. It is also known that Daphne has a teenage daughter, named Margot, who she fiercely protects.
Notable Events of The Syndicate[]
One for the Road[]
After Marvin Wright's arrest, Daphne requested the player and Nancy's help. She revealed that Margot was struggling with her course work and that she wanted to find a tutor for her but had lost a list of potential tutors during the floods. The pair then headed to Daphne's house along Marigold Road where they eventually found the list, shortly before sending it to William. William was then able to narrow down the list to school teacher Natalie Redwing, who agreed to tutor Daphne's daughter.
