Canon World

https://stephenking.fandom.com/wiki/The_Stand

I will be playing Dayna using elements from the "Complete & Uncut" edition published in 1990, but will use the original dates set out in the 1978 (meaning the flu struck in the summer of 1980).

I use shots of Yvonne Strahovski from Dexter as a PB.

Personality

In the face of devastating circumstances, Dayna hardens her resolve and strikes out with incredible bravery. Not only did she help plan the attack against their captors with the others who were being held in the so-called 'zoo' of women, she happens to be the one who gave the order to begin fighting. Before she was sent to the Dark Man's territory to act as a spy, she formulated a plan to kill him just in case she came face-to-face with him. In circumstances that most other people would find would scare them witless, Dayna prepares to do whatever it takes to do her part. She's not one to rest on her laurels when things need to be done. She makes up her mind about them and then goes after those goals with a single mind.

These qualities make her a natural leader, despite the fact that the events of the summer when the flu struck mainly make her wish she could rest and keep to herself. She's grieving, as everyone around her is doing, but she sees that she needs to set that aside and act in order to protect others in the community. Dayna is a quiet pillar of strength to those around her who need her help, including her friend Sue Stern. When Sue thought of someone who could spy into the Dark Man's territory, she knew that Dayna would be the best candidate—she would be discreet about carrying out that role there, and would pull off the plan in a determined manner.

Dayna's a private person, despite the way her business was laid out for everyone who was involved in the rescue of her and the other women who had been captured. She doesn't make a habit of broadcasting her business, and remained single after everyone arrived in Boulder, despite the way many of the people there were falling into new relationships. It seems that she's more likely to deal with a problem in her own time and in her own way than to seek out the comfort of another.

Dayna is selfless, as well. She doesn't think of herself when it comes to infiltrating the Dark Man's territory—she thinks about all the people who would be hurt by his leadership if he were to come to Boulder, and considers carefully what she can do to cut off his efforts without the people there being hurt. She doesn't want there to be a war or, worse, for the Dark Man to come and kill everyone in her town, so she does her best to put the burden of defeating him on herself.

Despite her private nature, Dayna can put on the sort of gregarious, apparently naturally social demeanor needed to infiltrate another society with little reason for anyone to suspect her of being from the other side. The only reason Dayna gets caught by Randall Flagg is that he can see into her mind with his powers. She made many friends in Las Vegas, and even infiltrated the bedroom of Flagg's number two man.
