Daya Gurung

Character Information
Character Name: Daya Gurung Age: 26 Occupation: Company agent Known Relatives: Naveen Gurung (Father), Brinda Gurung (Mother) Significant Other: Formerly Rick Bennet Current Location: New York City, New York Affiliation: The Company Biography: The only child of two Nepalese immigrants, growing up in a small suburban town in upstate New York, Daya was an energetic child and always eager to fit in. As such, she accepted any challenge or dare and developed something of a daredevil reputation early on that she just never seemed to grow out of. In fact, as she got older, Daya's thrill-seeking behaviors grew to be even more reckless and she soon no longer needed someone else to make suggestions for her. She grew to love extreme sports and any new exciting experience she could possibly try. When she graduated high school, it surprised no one (except perhaps her teachers who considered her a problem child) that Daya opted to join the Marines. A few short years after joining, she was sent to Afghanistan. Daya served admirably on all her missions, though she did not demonstrate any particular ambition for a full military career. As a result, she didn't exactly rise up in the ranks, despite some obvious prowess and talent, particularly in extraction missions. But within a few years even the novelty of being shot at regularly began to wear off, and Daya grew bored, searching desperately across a war-torn desert for a new thrill.

One came in the form of a job offer with a paper company, of all things. A very powerful paper company. Once she agreed to a contract with Primatech, Daya was quickly and neatly discharged from the Marines and began a whole new kind of extraction training-- how to bag and tag people with extraordinary abilities. Despite her extensive military service experience, Daya is considered something of a rookie among Primatech agents, as she has only just recently been cleared for taking on bag-and-tagging missions as the unpowered half of the good old 'one-of-us-one-of-them' formula.
