Daphne Moore hides behind timid smiles and soft hellos. She reads too many books, always humming a song when it gets too quiet, fakes an accent to relieve tension, and does finger guns way too often. She's the kind of gentle that felt like magic.
She's the shy quiet BAU Special Agent that has a crush on her best friend and fellow Special Agent Doctor Spencer Reid. Can Daphne find courage to admit her feelings to him or will she spend her life in the friend zone.
Spencer Reid has always found Daphne Moore to be fascinating. Her extensive knowledge on Astronomy and Greek Mythology was something to admire. So was her ability to quote every line of Nacho Libre. But what he loved best about her was her selfless kindness. Perfection isn't quantifiable but Spencer found her to be the closest thing to perfect.
Epiphany: is an experience of a sudden and striking realization.
