Biography
Danika Darke is the daughter of Dr. Darke and Solar Queen. Solar Queen is unaware of this fact. Dr. Darke became obsessed with his teammate, the young and beautiful Solar Queen. She was romantically involved with Supreme Commander (then became his wife), and was never interested in Darke in a such a way, so there never arose a chance for them to enter a relationship. Dr. Darke at some time decided to force a relationship and so he ensorcelled Solar Queen, took her into another shadow dimension, had a relationship and child with her, but then realized it was an infatuation and should never become a permanent relationship. After Danika's birth, he returned Solar Queen to Earth with no memory of their time together. Dr. Darke raised Danika in the other shadowy realm with brief visits to Earth without ever revealing her origin. To help protect her against extradimensional forces and enemies, Dr. Darke shielded her throughout her lifetime. Danika's entire body, except her face and hands, are covered in sorcerous soul/flesh-tattoo glyphs. These powerful wards act as mystical shields.

She also has a lifelong familiar, which in this dimension appears as a black cat named Percy (Percival). Percy is her guardian and companion, is very ancient and magical, and knows of Earth from past trips here, including a long stint in Ancient Egypt.

After she was grown, Danika was permanently moved to Earth. Dr. Darke informed her of the full truth of her origin, but she agreed not to tell Solar Queen or Supreme Commander, as it could cause a public scandal and perhaps disrupt the functioning of the Knights. Due to this she has a very complex relationship with her father and mother.

Shadowthief is an private investigator and corporate spy, aka thief. She uses her skills to make a fantastic living, though becoming a broker in secrets has created a long list of enemies. One of the most dangerous groups she has run afoul of is King Energy and its leader, whom she nicknames The Sharp Dressed Man.

Powers/Abilities
Due to her magical and extra-dimensional origin and as the daughter of the world's most powerful sorceror, Shadowthief has profound, innate magical gifts. She is not a fan of using magic, though she can sense and often manipulate it. Her most used ability is her gift with shadows. In one instance, she stole a prototype frictionless molecular device from King Energy, which were a pair of gloves. She uses them to slice through any matter, including windows, walls, safes, etc., which aids in her thieving.
