Biography

Events of Dying Light

When approached by Kyle Crane, she mentions that she was an avid fan of movies before the outbreak, especially American film. She reveals that her mother would take her and her brother to the cinema every Thursday after work. However, the outbreak has left her upset at the fact that their has been no 'happy ending for the Crisis in Harran.

After this encounter, she disappears and her whereabouts and status are unknown. As with other neutral survivors outside safe zones, she can be killed by Virals if the player attracts them with enough noise.

Conversations

Damla: "I don't like American movies. Not anymore."
Crane: "Sorry, I didn't hear you -- what'd you say?"
Damla: "American movies. My mother took me. Always, on Thursday night, after she got home from work. She would take me and my little brother to the cinema. We loved the movies from your country. You've Got Mail. The Matrix. Singing in the Rain... especially Singing in the Rain. We loved them. We loved Harran, too, but our city was nothing like the sights your films showed us."
Crane: "Uh... so... what went wrong?"
Damla: "Ha ha ha. What went wrong? You know what went wrong. Venture outside and it becomes painfully obvious. But that is not why I dislike American movies now. I dislike them because they betrayed me. They promised me... how do you say it. A "Hollywood ending". Everyone "lives happily ever after." There is no such thing. We are born, and then we die, and we never know when or how it's going to happen. Your happy stories did not prepare me for that. I wish they had. I wish they had. You can keep your Hollywood ending. I must live in the real world now."

Notes

  • While Singin' in the Rain (1952) and You've Got Mail (1998) are correctly American-made films, The Matrix (1999) is actually both American and Australian made, so her information about The Matrix being American is semi-correct.
