Daria, much like Frankie, hated keeping secrets from her family, but she knew all too well that sometimes the truth could be dangerous.

Beyond her relationship with Frankie, she carried another secret: What began as one experimental plant had grown into several thriving marijuana plants. Daria didn’t smoke herself, but she was deeply fascinated by crossbreeding and cultivating different strains. With Frankie’s help, she kept the plants safely hidden inside a shed on a rental property in the Grove, far from prying eyes. He even arranged for low-key security to keep the place as safe as possible.

Daria wanted to join the syndicate almost as much as she dreamed of marrying Frankie and becoming a mother one day. But her true passion of growing plants fell strictly under Brown Faction territory, and her mother would never allow her to work with the Matthews family. As far as her parents knew, Daria had no interest in the syndicate whatsoever. She claimed she planned to become a psychologist until she got married. While she did intend to pursue a psychology degree, it was a far cry from what she really wanted in life.

With Frankie acting as the middleman, Daria secretly sold some of her harvest. The profits went into a shared group account that only their tight-knit friend group could access. The fund was reserved for things their parents would never approve of - purchases or activities they didn’t want leaving a paper trail. One recent example was when M.J. used it to buy himself a sewing machine without his father finding out.

Daria knew her dream of one day running her own grow house would never come true. So she simply enjoyed the money while it lasted, quietly setting it aside for the future she hoped to build with Frankie.
