Plot
Village Origins Arc
Darya is first seen greeting Byakuya, new astronaut. Their conversation is interrupted by Lillian who acts as a condescending diva and startles her husband, only for the ruse to be broken by Byakuya's burst of laughter. Later on, Darya and Byakuya playfully set the music in the spacecraft to only play Lillian's songs, much to the latter's embarassment.
While on the ISS, she witnesses the huge beam of light engulfing the earth and is consequently shocked to see all of humanity turned to statues.[1]
Once Shamil, Connie and Lillian land on ocean instead of ground, Darya assures them they have enough oxygen supply for 9 hours. Shamil then replies that this time is their limit on staying inside the vessel. Darya then proposes that Byakuya, Yakov and her land as well and rescue them by boat. Yakov argues that the boat will be nearly impossible to acquire, with Byakuya saying that they will make a raft and swim for miles if they need to.
3 years later, she is present at Shamil and Connie's wedding along with the rest of her crew members, her husband and her children.[2]
She is last seen offering to go to mainland in order to get antibiotics for Connie, who has contracted pneumonia. Before she goes, she asks Byakuya and Lillian to take care of their children. Darya and her husband were lost at sea looking for a cure.[3]
