CHARACTER DESCRIPTION A man remembered by most as warm, charismatic, and deeply devoted to his family, yet he carries a darker reality known only to his oldest daughter, Noor. Although he is charming and familiar on the surface, he is complicated beneath it, capable of genuine affection while causing profound harm. STORY FUNCTION Daryl’s absence anchors the centre of the story. He isn’t the protagonist, but he is the reason the protagonist has a choice to make. KEY RELATIONSHIPS Noor: Daryl’s relationship to Noor, to say the least, is complicated. Because Noor is his eldest and only child, he took a lot of his aggression out on her. Despite this, their relationship wasn't defined solely by cruelty; Daryl could also show love and affection, creating a complicated bond that left Noor struggling to reconcile the father she loved with the person who hurt her. Lydia: Daryl was deeply in love with Lydia and became a father figure to her daughter, Almani. He took them both in when he was still struggling from his own divorce, but made it his mission to provide for both of them. Lydia has seen glimpses of Daryl's aggressive, complicated side, especially with Noor, but she chooses to turn a blind eye for her own stability and her daughter's. Almani: When Almani came into Daryl’s life, he took her in as his own. Unlike his relationship with Noor, Daryl never shows Almani his aggressive side. He treats her with tenderness, patience, and care, becoming the loving father figure she knows him to be. In many ways, Almani feels like a second chance for Daryl—a chance to be the father he was never able to be for Noor.
