Bio
Daisy was built in 1960 and arrived on Sodor the following year as a spare engine after Thomas' accident with the stationamster's house. At first, she was very lazy and did not want to pull anything. She only did work that she liked, which caused great annoyance to Percy and Toby. During this time, she had a frightening encounter with a bull and became very scared of them. However, Daisy worked hard after Percy's accident with a brakevan. Because of this, Sir Topham Hatt decided to give her a second chance, but made it clear that he sent lazy engines packing.
In 2014, Daisy's driver fell out of her while reversing way too fast at the quarry, and she ran away, unable to stop. She didn't until Henry and James acted like buffers and braked hard until they reached the Little Western.
Trainz Model
In How the Diesel Stole Christmas, SI3D's 2006 model of her was used. However, this model didn't have different faces, which proved to be a problem in The Runaway Railcar. Therefore, TheGermanEngine's RWS model of her was used. From The Search for Smudger onwards, SI3D's 2012 model of her is used.
Basis
Daisy is a BR Metro-Cammell DMU Class 101/102 commuter railcar.
Personality
Daisy is generally kind and willing to work hard, but can be sassy and flaunty. When she first arrived, she was very lazy and refused to do work she didn't care for. She is generally a stereotypical female character.
