APPEARANCE
Daisy has the appearance of a gentle and kind person, but she's not afraid to get dirty and has ruined clothing due to her adventurous spirit. She is of average height, which she'll be the first to say is perfect for her because she's tall enough to reach for certain things, but short enough to squeeze into tight places. Her hair is of medium length and often pull back for practical matters rather than protocol. She does have a slim built, despite the fact that she does have an appetite on her. It's due to having an active lifestyle.
She is stronger than she looks, but knows her limits. She knows how to climb trees and to an extent can rock climb. At the same time though, she is often gets hurt. It's not that she's careless, but she gets into her work. Also because she is an author, she forgets to to wash her hands and has ink on her right hand index finger half of the time, despite her trying to wash it off.
As far as clothing goes, she's not afraid wearing worn out clothing and due to the places she's been to, has worn 'menwear'. Her wardrobe does include 'society sufficient' clothing though for when she's out in English society. Secretly though she hates wearing this kind of clothing, finding it too confining and prefers clothing more comfortable. She does love the clothing she got from other places, especially India.

PERSONALITY
Daisy is a very intelligent lady. She is always very curious, which got her into trouble, but also got her interested into different activities, wether it was learning about the world around her from her father or her love of reading from her uncle who was a doctor. Unfortunately due to her intelligence, she's been labeled as eccentric from her contact with the 1st class and snobbish from the 3rd class. Despite her plucky attitude, these opinions have hurt her, but she keeps on smiling despite it.
She is very loyal to those whom she trusts, which is only a select few. The person she trusts the most is her twin sister. However, she still does her best to treat everyone equally, refusing to judge someone based on his or her class. However, she's not afraid to speak her mind when given the chance. Over the years though she has learned to not embarrass herself, for the most part. She still has her moments due to her impatient personality.
Daisy enjoys people, but tends to prefer the company of flora and fauna than to them. She enjoys proving herself in physical endeavors and loves exploring new places. Traveling with her father, she learned the value of respecting different cultures.
Despite her sunny disposition on life, she actually hides a lot of pain and in private cries a lot. Writing and reading was her way to get her inner thoughts out. She also has to stay busy because she gets bored very easily.

HISTORY
Daisy was born into a second class family. Her father was a well known botanist who travel extensively to Africa and Asia. William Henderson himself was a very knowledgeable man who wrote about his studies. However, it was through his love of his love of horses that he met Daisy's mother, Georgiana Parker. For her mother it was love at first sight since her father was a very handsome man. She would actually try to find out where he would show up next, claiming to her first class family she was merely curious about his work. Eventually, her father ended up falling for her and the two started a courtship, despite her family's disapproval. She was disowned though when she refused to marry someone she was arranged to marry though. It never bothered Georgiana (Georgie to her friends) for the couple were happily wed and she traveled with her husband everywhere. But their love story wouldn't end well. Several years after marriage, Georgie became pregnant. While she was ecstatic, William was worried for he noticed how Georgie was starting to fad due to the stresses of traveling. With the advice of his younger brother, Charles, who was a doctor that lived nearby, the couple moved from India back to England. Sadly, Georgie died giving birth to Daisy and her twin sister Violet. The loss devastated William, but he raised his daughters to be strong and independent women. Daisy was the female image of her father while Violet looked like their mother with her dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Daisy and Violet were inseparable. They would travel everywhere with their father, despite the Evans wanting to claim the twins for their own reasons. The only helped William accepted though was from his own family, especially his brother Charles. The girls grew up mostly in India with their father and his brother, who eventually married one of the local women there. Daisy was the more outspoken twin while her sister was the more subdued one. Violet didn't like traveling as much as her sister, so whenever their father went to other places, most of the time she would stay with their uncle while Daisy traveled with her father when allowed.
When Daisy became a teen, she became very curious about her mothers' family and wondered if they were as bad as her father claimed. Even though Daisy was no green girl, she still wanted to believe that people could change. So when she was seventeen, both her and her sister traveled back to London with their father to see if 'bridges could be mended'. The Evans saw a chance to 'make amends' after the scandal that still haunted the family so they wanted to give the Henderson twins a 'Coming Out'. Needless to say the experience was an eye opener for both young ladies and not in a good way. Daisy became too busy protecting her sister from the 'wolves' of the Ton and was often at odds with her maternal grandmother, Agnes Evans. By the end of the summer, the girls were more than ready to return to their real home in India.
Most of the English folk Daisy knew in India were in the British military. This is how she would meet her future husband Michael McGregor. Originally from Scotland, Michael had joined the British Army as soon as he was old enough to join. The two would meet when Daisy was 19. They became good friends and grew to love each other. Well, Michael fell for Daisy hard, but she didn't quite feel the same. However, when he proposed to her, she accepted because she did yearn for the kind of love her parents had as well as her sister's, who fallen in love with an an Officer in the British Navy and was set to move back to England soon.
The marriage was a good one and Daisy and Michael tried to have children right away. Unfortunately, tragedy was strike when Daisy had her first miscarriage less than a year into the marriage. It was a major blow to Daisy. The couple would try again and Daisy was thrilled to learn that her sister was pregnant with their 2nd child at the same time. Daisy did carry the child to full term, only for the child to die a still born, which was worse for Daisy since she got to hold her son. Daisy started loosing it and it took the comfort of her whole father and Michael's family to help her get through this. This was how she started writing. She would get lost in doing whatever she had to do in order to forget about the pain she was feeling. Unfortunately she started distancing herself from her husband when she did this. However in public she learned to develop a mask by being outgoing and plucky. Michael kept himself busy too to get over his own grief. He learned to invest in trades that were going on between England and India. When Daisy was 22, the two traveled to Scotland to visit Michael's family since his youngest sister was getting married. Unfortunately something happened that would change Daisy's world there. While there, Michael was unexpectedly robbed and killed when going out at night to hang out with his old friends. The loss rocked Daisy's world.
It would take her a year to recover from her grief. During this time, she stayed with her sister's family in Kent county. Eventually, she bought her own home nearby thanks to the investments her husband hand. By this time, her father moved back to England since his health was starting to fail him and he wanted to spend his final years near his daughters. It was during this time that Daisy became a published author. Thinking that she wouldn't be able to get published using her own name, she started using the alias David Windsor. She wrote fictional works using her traveling experiences and became quite successful through that. Her father finally died when Daisy was 24. It was hard, but since her father's health was declining, her passing was viewed as a blessing in disguised since Daisy knew he wasn't suffering anymore. Still she missed him greatly. During his final months, father and daughter learned about the Titanic. Thinking about the possibilities and adventures she would see there, Daisy bought herself a 2nd class ticket after her father's death. She also hoped the experience would help distract her from her own broken heart since she felt totally alone. Also, she wanted her grandmother to get off her back since the woman was hounding her to marry and become 'respectable' like her sister. At this point, Daisy wasn't focused on getting married. In reality, she's too scared of any more pain by getting close to another person.
