October Daye Wiki


Darice 'Dare' Lorimer is a changeling who lives with her brother Manuel at Home. She first appears in Rosemary and Rue. Toby estimates her to be around fourteen, although she mentions that Devin's kids in Dare's position often make themselves look younger.

About[]

Dare is a tough, bitter teenager who is handy with a knife. She is rough around the edges and owns a shirt that says "porn star in training". Her accent is a mixture of inner-city Spanish and downtown punk. She leaves a trail of glitter-sweat due to being part Piskie, and has a penchant of wearing heavy makeup that make her look more older than she really is.

She was a changeling runaway living on the streets before Devin took in her and her brother. Supposedly, she has softened since coming Home; before, she "couldn't say two civil words to anyone, now, she's just a little mouthy." Dare runs errands for Devin as well as fights on both his behalf and her own, having proficiency with silver knives, one of which Toby keeps to honour her memory.

After her death, Dare's night-haunt still retains some of Dare's hero-worship of Toby. She chooses to drink Toby's blood and, as such, choose to become Toby's Fetch in order to warn her of her impending death.[2]

In the Series[]

Rosemary and Rue[]

Toby meets her at Home where she exhibits a tough, belligerent attitude toward Toby. She changes her tune upon learning who Toby is and goes to get Devin.

Later, when Devin scolds Dare and Manuel Lorimer for not being there sooner when Toby was attacked by a Doppleganger in her house, Toby comes to and tells him they saved her life. Afterwards, Dare asks Toby how she got out, and Toby promises to help her and Manuel in any way she can. 

When Toby returns Home, she and Manuel are there, along with Devin, who is hiding. He comes out and orders Manny to shoot Toby. Devin and Toby fight, Dare climbs on Manuel's back to get him to drop the gun. Devin shoots Dare three times, and Manuel kills Devin.

Duke Sylvester Torquill organizes a wake for her. The body the night-haunts leave is buried in the Summerlands, in the forest outside the walls of Shadowed Hills knowe. Toby visits her grave as often as she can, and leaves bouquets of rosemary and rue.

A Local Habitation[]

Dare appears as a night-haunt when Toby summons them to solve the murders at ALH Computing. She explains to Toby why the night-haunts are refusing to take the dead bodies and accepts Toby's offering of blood as payment for the information, becoming her Fetch May Daye in the process.

One Salt Sea[]

Toby eventually realises that May was the Fetch created from Dare's night-haunt after discussing their origins with the Luidaeg.

Quotes[]

  • "I visit her grave as often as I can. I leave bouquets of rosemary and rue, and I tell her that I’m sorry, and I promise her that next time, I’ll do better. Next time someone makes me a hero, I’ll save them." — Toby [3]
