Canon Character Information
Appearance: Darcy’s on the shorter side (5’3”) with dark brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin with a somewhat curvy figure. Her sense of style is best described as “comfortable hipster chic” with an emphasis on jeans and knitted goods. She currently has no tattoos, and her only piercings are standard ear piercings.
History: MCU Wikia

Personality:
Darcy Lewis is nothing if not outgoing. The first thing almost anyone will probably notice about her is that she's probably the one saying something snarky about whatever's going on, or is making faces in the background. In a world full of superheroes, aliens, and freaky science, she's just this average person who's in the middle of some of it because of an internship. And, from that, she's had to learn how to deal with things that most people don't.

Which isn't to say that Darcy doesn't freak out at the sudden weirdness in her life, because of course she does. She's just a normal person in a world that's suddenly filled with things that are miles away from normal. Anyone would freak out. But despite the fact that she's mid-freakout, she can handle shit.

The thing about Darcy isn't just that she's the normal one or that she's the comic relief. At her core, she's a loyal friend. After everything, she could have very easily packed up and left, but instead has stuck it out beyond just being Jane's intern and became her friend. Erik could have just been that weird science guy Jane knew and left it at that, but instead helped hatch a plan to bust him out of a psych ward. There's something about her odd mix of upbeat and outgoing that makes her easy to get along with.

All that being said, Darcy can be very self-involved. As much as she may care about her friends and be concerned about the things going on with them, she isn’t afraid of putting herself first, even in relatively petty ways. This is shown in canon, when Jane and Erik’s research was confiscated by SHIELD, Darcy’s biggest gripe was that they took her recently loaded iPod. While she’s more than willing to support her friends, there’s a decent chance that she’ll gripe about some things along the way.

While she may not exactly see it as a flaw, Darcy is very much the type of person to act before thinking. Generally it's more along the lines of running her mouth about things that people really don't want or need to know instead of, say, picking a fight. She's willing to disregard her friends' personal comfort if she thinks it means whatever should be taken care of is handled. Along with this, she can be painfully blunt. Where most people will use tact when discussing personal issues to people who are near strangers, she's the type to just ignore tact and social niceties.

What a lot of this leads up to in a way is that she's impulsive. Sometimes it can be a good thing, like coming up with a way to bust Erik out of a mental institution and thus having a hand in helping save the universe or applying for an internship that has absolutely nothing to do with her major. Of course, it can also be a somewhat negative impulse, like interrupting a date because something's going on and inadvertently having a hand in putting Jane, and the universe at large, in danger. Or tasing someone because he “was freaking [her] out.”

When in the same room as Erik and Jane, Darcy may not seem all that intelligent. They're both brilliant scientists who are working in the field that they were trained in, but Darcy isn't and honestly is out of her depth in some ways. While she's picked up things along the way, she doesn't think like them. And really, that's a good thing, because she is bright and is able to come up with explanations that never would have crossed their minds. In a way, she's one of those brilliant, but lazy types who could be applying her skills, but instead chooses to stay in a field where most of what she does is fetch equipment and coffee, input data, and drive.
