Biography
Davie's yearbook page of Millwood High School's 2000 Class.
Davie Adams was born and raised in Millwood, Pennsylvania on July 1, 1981. During her teenage years, she ruled as queen bee of popular girls clique at Millwood High School. Her group consisted of her best friends Sidney Haworthe, Marjorie Olivar, Elodie Honrada and Corey Bryant. She was part of the Drama and Swimming club, her notable achievements were for best smile, spirit queen, and prom queen. Davie strived to live her life recklessly, to the fullest, and without consequence. According to Sidney, it was Davie's idea to invite Angela Waters, a lonely girl at the bottom of the social caste, to hang with them. But she did not do it out of the kindest of her heart or from pity at the social pariah - Davie found a new worker bee to do as she was told.
Davie was the girlfriend of popular jock, Tom Beasley before they broke up shortly before graduation due Tom's rumors of having sexually assaulted Angela. According to Corey, Davie broke up with Tom as soon as she heard the rumors, although this may be a lie for not tell the truth about "Erase Her". Davie had to choose between Angela or Tom, she chose Tom and decided to humiliate Angela, a humiliation that ended in a mortal end for her.
Personality
In 1999 as a high school senior with the future endless and the world at her hands, Davie refused to bow down to limitations and lived rashly and carelessly. Her status of the most popular girl with her own clique left no short of admiration and attention. She loved her friends dearly - but the moment one of them stepped out of line brought forth her hidden domineering and authoritative side, demanding they step back in sync with her.
Angela's death, though leaving her traumatized, did bring out genuine guilt in her but a bigger denial of culpability.
Twenty-two years, fifteen of those living as a single mother, heavily matured Davie though her sardonic sarcasm never went away. The focus of her life became Imogen, whom she treasured dearly strived to be the best mother she can be to her only daughter. She was incredibly understanding and supportive of her daughter, opting to help her raise her future grandchild without judgment. She was seemingly unconcerned nor vigilant towards monitoring her daughter and trusted her enough to provide a journal to scroll her secrets down as she did hers.
Physical Appearance

Series
Season 1
1999
October 31, 1999, The group of girls run amok and destroy pumpkins for Halloween. In front of a house, Angela Waters is handed a bag of dog feces and instructed to throw it at the front door, part of so-called “initiation”. She’s concerned about being seen, but Davie assures her they got her back as she is handed a pumpkin to put over her head as a disguise. The girls laugh at her weak refusal. Nonetheless, Angela forces herself to do as she’s told, but the girls drive off and mockingly wave goodbye. Angela is left at the curbside breathing hard as the owner of the vandalized house yells out to the assailant.
Elodie and Angela enter the Hall of Mirrors, hand in hand. The pair stops, with Elodie telling Angela they're alone. They start kissing until Davie then walks in and, as a way to divert from Elodie's feelings for Angela, Elodie lies and says that Angela started attacking her. Davie snaps that Angela shouldn't think about coming onto her. She proceeds to call Angela, Xena. Elodie and Davie then leave, with Angela staring at one of the mirrors.
Sidney opens a bathroom stall at Millwood High to find Angela sitting next to the toilet, sobbing. Something happened to her. Sidney goes to the other girls where they sit at a classroom table. They have a problem about Angela, which makes Davie scoff, asking what the dead pudding did now. It's not what she did, but what was done to her.
After, Davie talks to Angela at the lockers, as Sidney told them about what happened to her. She wants to make sure she's okay, asking if she knows who did it. Angela nervously admits that it was Tom "Tommy" Beasley, Davie's boyfriend. It wasn't her fault as he did it to her. Davie reels from the revelation and hisses out that Angela's a liar. Tom was her boyfriend, so Davie had to pick a side - Angela or Tommy. She picked Tommy. Instead of helping Angela, she lamed her. In the bathroom, Davie tells the girls that Angela is lying about what happened. The girls wonder if she isn't lying, with Davie calling them dense as it's clear Angela's just trying to get attention, like always. Corey and Sidney thinks it's different this time, angering Davie who doubles-down that Angela's out of control. They need to teach her a lesson. They have to ignore her, pretend that she doesn't exist. They're going to erase Angela Waters. But not just them, everyone else too. They'll turn Angela into a ghost, making her invisible as if she were nothing. The student body slams into Angela and knocks her to the ground, making her drop her papers. The students step on them and ignore her as Davie and her friends laugh from the lockers. Things just kept getting worse, and there was one last final humiliation.
One last nail that Davie wanted to put in Angela's coffin - an even more public shaming. Davie approaches Angela at the swings to apologize for everything that happened. Especially for not believing her. She's been a real "biatch". She wants to make it up to her, they all do. She hands her the Y2K rave flier. They're all going and Angela has to come, as it'll be fun. After that, they'll have a fresh start.
December 31, 1999, Angela calls out in despair for Sidney Haworthe or Davie Adams outside a warehouse currently blasting with music. Tear-stricken, Angela Waters stumbles inside, begging for help to no one’s bother. She finds Sidney and drops to her knees in the middle of the crowd. Through her sobs, she begs Sidney to look at her. Davie, however, angrily mutters to Sidney that they’ve talked about this already, forcing a conflicted Sidney to join her other friends. Devastated, Angela looks around in pain and notices a ladder nearby. She decided to climb. The rave continues in full swing, and as the countdown begins partygoers suddenly take notice of a silhouette up above. The DJ cuts the music, allowing Angela to scream out to the girls below if they finally see her. Davie yells at her to stop, but Angela raised her arms and steps forward.
The crowds disperse with screams of terror, though only five girls stay still. They force themselves to look upon the bloody, gruesome scene before them; Angela’s broken, dead body.[4]
2022
On the night of August 20th, 2022, Davie is having dinner with her pregnant daughter, Imogen. She insists Imogen drink her milk to her protest, as she needs the calcium. Davie reaches out to her daughter’s hand, asking if she wants to burn ‘’her’’ things in revenge for being a fair-weather friend. “And a stark raving crazy bitch,” Davie finishes, to her daughter’s sarcastic objection. She shortly walks to the main foyer, where Imogen receives Karen Beasley into the house. The two exchange short greetings when Karen hands Davie a letter that was out front, with the “A” in her name red. Davie opens the letter to find a flyer for the rave that occurred 22 years prior, to her utter shock. Imogen notices her mother’s discomfort, but Davie brushes it off and tells the girls to head upstairs. As they leave, Davie flips the flyer and reads the message;
“GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. YOU CAN’T IGNORE THE PAST FOREVER. THE COUNTDOWN IS ON.”
Davie flashes back to that night, staring at Angela's body.
In the short interval that Imogen is with Karen in her bedroom, Karen is about to exit the house furiously when she notices the hallway floor wet. The girls slowly walk to the source of the water; the bathroom. Imogen softly calls out to her mother. She pushes the door open, basking in what’s in front of her: Davie, dead in a tub overflowing with bloody water, the letter “A” drawn in red ichor on the wall. Karen screams in horror as Imogen gasps.
