| abstract | - Darcy Edwards is a former student and Spirit Squad Captain at Degrassi Community School, who left to do missionary work in Kenya, Africa during her senior year. She was first portrayed as a straight-laced, innocent Christian girl, who many found stuck up and judgmental. This was seen in her conflict with Mia Jones, whom she openly resented simply because of her status as a teen mother. However, in Season 6, she began to change into a hot, popular, and athletic cheerleader. However, she was drugged and raped while attending a party which caused her to contract chlamydia. Following her assault, she became extremely unstable and unable to cope with her traumatic rape, sending her down a self-destructive, promiscuous and mentally unstable path. This included telling a tale that she was sexually harassed by Mr. Simpson, after she began flirting with him only to be turned down, putting his entire job, reputation and personal life in jeopardy. But, when she is sent to Brat Camp, she is finally able to admit her rape and recovers almost entirely before her departure for Kenya. Her younger sister, Clare Edwards and stepbrother Jake Martin have graduated from Degrassi. Darcy was best friends with Jane Vaughn and Manny Santos, and good friends with Emma Nelson and Chantay Black. She was enemies with Paige Michalchuk, Jay Hogart, Johnny DiMarco, Mia Jones and Holly J. Sinclair. She was portrayed by Shenae Grimes.
- Darcy Edwards is a fictional character from Degrassi: New Generation.
