● abilities: While it's not confirmed in any way, she does seem to have a preternatural sense for danger, noticing things a long time before the others do. This could just be that she's hyper-alert/perceptive, but there are vague hints by the creators that it's Something More.
● strengths: > compassion: It's implied that all the wives except Toast have been captives from a very young age, and all aside from Cheedo have all been sexually assaulted by Joe. Despite this, all of them, including the Dag, have a strong sense of compassion towards others, even people who've been complicit in their captivity and abuse. Their final goal in returning to the Citadel is to make a better life for everyone, not just themselves. They also have a great deal of compassion for each other, and are willing to risk their lives to help each other, Max, and Furiosa. > strength/bravery: It takes a lot to survive the conditions the wives were living under, and it takes even more strength to take such a huge risk to escape. They all gambled their lives (and in the Dag and Angharad's case, the lives of their babies) on the hope of finding something better, > perceptive/quick on the uptake: The Dag is the first one to notice danger, and often the first to pick up on hints or plans that the others drop. She sees the approaching convoy before the rest of the wives, when Max attacks them, and she spots the lights from the Bullet Farmer's rig before anyone else. When Max starts describing his plan about retaking the Citadel, she and the Keeper of the Seeds are the first to pick up that he means to blow up the ravine, cutting off Joe's forces.
● weaknesses: > anger: The Dag is the most quick to anger, she cruses at Nux when the others don't, and bites him while the rest of the wives are trying to pull him off Furiosa. It's understandable that she has a lot of rage after all the shit she's been through, but it ties into the second point below, because it leads to her making poor decisions. Regardless, it's definitely something she needs to work on, especially since it's likely a result of trauma. Someone get this girl to therapy. > impulsive: As Max has them all at gunpoint, both Angharad and the Dag talk back, but she's the only one to outright try to antagonize him, which is stupid at best and incredibly dangerous at worst, since all they know of Max is that he fought Furiosa and tried to abandon them in the desert. She nearly throws herself out of the war rig trying to grab Angharad, and does the same again for Max, making split second decisions that put her in danger, just trying to save the people she cares about. > inexperience: Though entirely not her fault, the Dag... hasn't really had much of a life. Kept captive since a young age, with most of her interactions limited to the other wives, Joe, and Miss Giddy, she doesn't have a whole lot of worldly experience. The wives are taught to read/write and while canon varies on whether books exist or not, they've at least received some lessons from Miss Giddy. The Dag has no experience in fending for herself, or with the world outside the vault she was kept in, and it's going to take her a while to adjust to the world.
● job skills: If asked, she genuinely won't have anything to tell them, but she may mention being interested in horticulture. ● housing: She's probably going to be uncomfortable rooming with any dudes, so shared w/ a lady roommate or private is fine!
● note: She's pregnant! She's not showing at all yet, so it's still very early, but she'd definitely got a bun in the oven. Since there's already a pregnant character in game I figured this was cool, but thought I should make a note.
