Dara the Gamer

When I saw a pointer in BoingBoing about the new Disney online game based on Pirates of the Caribbean, I thought I would post about how Dara might consider this as a replacement to the game she plays, Diablo II. Then it occurred to me that few people know that behind Dara's gentle facade lurks the heart of a hardcore gamer. Her online names in Diablo are DaraDeath for her necromancer character, and Dardarian for her barbarian character. I had to look necromancer up myself:

In fiction, Necromancy is often not a form of divination but a discipline of "dark" or "black" magic used to raise the dead as "undead," typically as zombies under the necromancer's control, though the binding of ghosts and spirits is also common. Necromancers often become powerful undead creatures themselves; in modern fantasy fiction, the Dungeons & Dragons-derived term "lich" (originally a word meaning 'corpse') is often applied to such beings. Necromancers are, in rare cases, capable of raising the dead or restoring vitality to the living, though in some cases the life energy involved must be transferred from another living creature.

You should see the trail of blood she leaves behind her.
