Saoirse D'arcy (a.k.a. Daoirse)
Daoirse, born Saoirse D'arcy and sometimes called Zero, is the Malice timeline counterpart of
Saoirse "Zero" D'arcy. As with all Malice timeline counterparts she is about twenty years older than her birth year would indicate.
A victim of her own daughter's manipulation, Daoirse is a traumatized woman who no longer has any allies thanks to a series of reprehensible actions she carried out under Bakii's guidance.
Physical Description
Daoirse is capable of using magic and appears to specialize in healing. However, only
Sleepy Saoirse actually knows what's she capable of.
Mental characteristics
Daoirse's history is almost identical to Zero's until she gets pregnant. Daoirse had triplets while Zero only had twins.
In Zero's case, the third child — an identical twin of Gráinne — disappeared via vanishing twin syndrome. In Daoirse's timeline the twin survived and became
Bakii.
Cisgender woman (she/her)
Daoirse is currently unemployed.
Being manipulated by Bakii has left her with doubt in her ability to do much of anything by herself. While she talks tough and remembers her past leadership with pride, she has lost much of her ability to act on her own terms. If someone gets upset at her and she thinks she's in a dominant position, she will angrily lash out; otherwise, there is a very strong chance she'll burst into tears.
All of this sensitivity is hidden behind a formal façade, which can quickly turn aggressive.
Daoirse has some mental decline compared to the other two Zeroes she now shares a timeline with. Bakii purposely kept Daoirse in the dark about as much things as possible to keep her dependent — as such most of her skills have deteriorated.
Daoirse has developed the usual moral flexibility that comes along listening to authority. We are talking about somebody who stacked what she thought were explosives under a building, after all.
Personality Characteristics
Daoirse considers her past life to be a waste and is currently trying to figure out what to do now that she is free of Bakii. She hasn't come up with much yet, and the learned helplessness Bakii instilled in her still remains.
Daoirse is a competent bartender, having worked as one in her timeline.
Social
Daoirse is seriously questioning the existence of God given the events in the Malice timeline. It weighs on her heavily, unlike Sleepy Saoirse's rather carefree attitude towards the potential existence of a higher power.

Nicknames & Petnames
Zero-From-Main was the one who originally assigned the nickname Daoirse to Zero-From-Malice. Daoirse hates the name but it has stuck.
Relationship Reasoning
Zero resents the fact that her counterpart lead to her being imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. Even though it eventually came to light neither of them attacked the building, Zero realized that Daoirse's actions of showing up at the scene and putting what Daoirse thought were explosives there means that Daoirse is perfectly capable of performing such a heinous act. While Zero recognizes Daoirse did so under duress from Bakii, it is difficult for her to move past the realization that Daoirse's subservience is so extreme she is willing to abandon morality.
Daoirse considers Zero to be naive and self-centered, seeing a lot of her own past in Zero's actions and fearing Zero might be heading down a similar or worse path. Zero's unwillingness to heed her advice further irritates her.

History
The two of them were forced into the same body by Bakii. While they initially hated each other and constantly struggled for power, they have since reached an understanding.

Towards Rosemary D'arcy the Elder
Relationship Reasoning
Rosemary considers her daughter to be a coward, although she does recognize that Bakii's manipulation does play a role in Daoirse's actions. Rosemary hides the extent of her distaste. She hasn't given up on Daoirse entirely but they are not on speaking terms.
Daoirse's feelings towards her mother are mostly unchanged but she resents her mother's disappointment and attempts to kill Bakii.
