-Character Info-
Name: June Darby
Age (or human equivalent): 35
Gender (or human equivalent): Female
Species: Human
Faction: Autobot sympathizer
Occupation/Specialization: Nurse
Appearance: June Darby still gets carded in bars, much to her annoyance, but on the up side June is a contender for most desirable single woman in Jasper’s ER wing. June’s got one of those clear alabaster complexions that require no upkeep and a very respectable sweep of petty black shoulder-length hair (though she tends to knot it sensibly in a ponytail). Build-wise, she’s a very slender, athletic lady which is a need be when you are hauling patients around at the hospital and keeping up with a 16-year-old boy with giant robots for pals. Her eye color is a very dark ofter sardonic brown and her slightly crooked half-smile can level man if she’s trying and occasionally when she’s not.
Likes: Jack, Chunky Monkey Ben&Jerrys, smart alecks (when it’s not Jack), fast cars (when Jack isn’t driving them), Pear martinis (don’t tell Jack!), classical music, painting, deep voices, men with sense of humor.
Dislikes: Medical dramas, cooking, being lied to, bullies, the self-righteous, low fat ice cream, being coddled.
History: June was born in New York and grew up moving around the country and the world as her parents were US military. Her mother was a field medic and her father a military chaplain and it was them who encouraged her to go to medical school. When she was in school she met Jack’s father. Their relationship was extremely brief and extremely intense and ended when, after becoming pregnant, June surmised that his marrying her out of duty was not going to be beneficial to her son’s wellbeing. They separated on good terms with the caveat that Jack Senior be available for Jack Junior should he ever want to meet his father in the future. Jack was raised by a network of family friends, daycare, and hard work on June’s part and she likes to think he’s turned out pretty good, thank you.
Sixteen years later, Jack has not seriously pushed the issue of his father and it remains and issue of some unspoken tension between them. She’s been a senior nurse at Jasper General Hospital for nearly two years now and it has been a hard won position and a source of stress for her – balancing a demanding job with raising a son single handed. More recently, of course, there’s been that whole “Mom meet my Sci-fi Club,” thing directly after being kidnapped by a flesh-flaying Alien robot spider. She’s been adjusting to the whole alien robot thing with the same stalwart attitude that she approached an unplanned pregnancy – “Whelp, let’s do this thing, then.”
Personality: Socially, June is very friendly, understanding, and compassionate. She sees little reason to be rude and enjoys gossip more than she will admit, but at the end of the day she will tell you exactly how it is and where to shove it. She doesn’t abide nonsense or dishonesty and has very little patience for useless, lazy, or stupid people… but the flip side of that is a very compassionate and maternal personality whose instinct is to help.
Her patience for those she has decided to help is boundless but if she has black listed you, then you are black listed so hard it will be all but impossible to ever come back from that. She is extremely pragmatic, very sensible, and has the capacity to be completely unmovable. When her foot has been put down, no power in the verse can move it. She tends to work as a mediator and is capable of seeing all sides of an issue and as a result tends not to take sides very easily, even among friends which sometimes hurts feelings. Nothing in the world supersedes her love for Jack.
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Special Skills She speaks some very fluent Spanish and Latin (medical terms) and is, of course, a medical professional. She used to be a cross country runner in college and keeps up the habit so she’s got hella stamina if she’s gotta run. Was a state-placed 400 to 800 meter runner before she started focusing on her studies for nursing. Mixes a mean martini.
Extra Info: She’s got an indecent tattoo in an indecent place and NO ONE SHALL EVER KNOW WHAT IT IS. She acquired it in France when she was a teenager.

Nothing in the world supersedes her love for Jack.
Strengths:
- Smart – June is quick on the uptake, a fast learner, and has recall for facts and faces and funny social quirks. Her books smarts are very admirable but her true strength is her people smarts. She’s quite good at sensing when things are wrong and better at talking people down, working them up, and generally navigates the mine field of social interaction with great self-awareness.
- Adaptable – Ms. Darby has an incredibly flexible and open mind so she isn’t likely to fall down dribbling on herself because of giant robots, war, Decepticons, or any of those culture shock doomy things that bother the small minded. She has a very stiff upper lip about world-view altering events and will soldier pragmatically on in the face of alien war and teenager drama alike.
- Well Connected – Like a sensible single mom, June has a community safety net of people. She actually has a lot of friends in Jasper from her work at the hospital and other jobs shes worked, PTS, etc – people who care about and trust her and will cover for her and owe her favors.
- Armed – As a military brat, she has been fire arm certified since she was eighteen and but has not carried a weapon since she became a mother. Since the Autobots have entered her life she now carries a Walther P-99 semi-automatic pistol and taken refresher courses with her friends in the local PD. She has slightly more than basic self-defense training
Weaknesses:
- Mom Hysteria – JACK! JACK WHAT ARE DOING?! GET OFF THE LEDGE IT LOOKS HIGH! WHAT? Oh, oh I’m sorry. That was a bit much wasn’t it? Sorry. I’m going to sit down a moment. Okay. Sitting. Whew!
- Is Squishie – As a human she suffers from the usual problem of being squishie, but more to the point she’s not exactly the sturdiest lady ever. She weighs about a buck and change soaking wet and needs help opening jam jars.
- Distrusting – June is a bit of a cynic and her experiences with people have made her, perhaps, more suspicious of others than might be fair. She tends to think everybody lies and eventually they will lie about something important and its up to her to catch that when it happens. This sometimes leads to her being hurtful to those that genuinely want to help her.
