Personality[]
Debbie is an incredibly compassionate woman. She is a caring wife to her husband Nolan and a supportive mother to her son Mark. She has demonstrated her independence and determination every time she encounters her husband's anger and has motivated her son to be his own individual and to make decisions he feels are correct, regardless of others' views. Debbie proves to be very insightful, as she looked into her husband Nolan's role in the murder of the Guardians of the Globe and found out he was the perpetrator with assistance from Art Rosenbaum and Damien Darkblood. Nonetheless, she continued to want to see the good in him and wished there was a valid explanation for his serious wrongdoing.
Upon discovering the truth of her husband's background and seeing the destruction he wreaked in his fight against Mark, Debbie undergoes a great traumatic experience. She faces depression and a sense of loss, questioning everything she thought she knew about her family and the man she married. Thanks to Art's encouragement, she rediscovered herself and started to mend her life gradually. Always the devoted family woman, she readily took on the responsibility of caring for her new stepson Oliver, named after her father, effectively adopting him after his own mother's death.
