She said that she was a cool and popular girl in high school, however she was very mean. She also bullies her little brother Caleb, in making him smell her armpit ever since he was a kid.
Darla also constantly calls Jessie out on her failed acting career, and brags about traveling as a flight attendant all over the world.
