Darrion Stahley, a left behind teen, was abducted with Ryan Daley, and eventually went into hiding with her mother after her father died. She and her mother became believers shortly after. Darrion went to rescue Vicki Byrne after she was caught by the Global Community, and Darrion ended up being held captive by the GC in the same cell as Conrad Graham. Judd Thompson Jr. and others helped to get her out by tricking Commander Terrel Blancka. She ended up staying with Vicki and the Underground over the course of the next 5 years.
She was into Enigma Babylon One World Faith. She said that "it takes the best of all the belief systems".
