Susan Daly

Susan Daly is the mother to Ruby Daly, wife to Jacob Daly, and a side character in the Darkest Minds trilogy.

Early On
While IAAN was infiltrating the country, Susan raised Ruby oblivious to the damage that was coming, but on her tenth birthday her and her husband Jacob got into a large argument, inciting Ruby to retreat into her room. That night Ruby kissed them both on the forehead, erasing all of their memories of her. When Ruby came downstairs the next day, Susan didn't recognize her, so she called the police and locked Ruby in the garage. But instead the PSFs got to her first, and brought her to Thurmond for six years.

In the Afterlight
After Ruby released all the children in Thurmond and was sent to a hospital, Susan, Jacob, and Grams all drove straight to her when they released where she was, and Ruby returned Susan and Jacob's memories of her. Since then, Susan and Jacob were much more careful and gentle with her, trying to make up for six years apart.

Ruby
Susan locked Ruby in the garage the morning after her birthday, having lost all memory of her. But after a while she realized she still loved the girl she sent to Thurmond, so when Ruby was in the hospital they drove straight to her and Ruby returned them their memories.
