Other Characters: Harry Goodsir, Abigail Masham
Character Name: Dominique DiPierro
Series: Mr Robot
Age: Thirtysomething
From When?: End of S3, after her whole world has come crashing down.
Inmate/Warden: Warden. Dom is one of nature's own detectives. At one point, she says that she's "disgusted by the selfish brutality of the world, but at the same time, I'm utterly fascinated by it". She jokes that the FBI is the perfect place for someone with those kinds of contradictory impulses, but the truth is, she just needs to be in any kind of position where she can make sure that justice is appropriately served, that the weak and helpless are defended, and wrongs made right.
Item: An old-fashioned pager.
Abilities/Powers: Good detective skills. Computer skills. Can shoot a gun. Speaks multiple languages, including Farsi but not, apparently, Chinese. No notable physical weaknesses to speak of.
Personality:
In fiction, the oddball detective with no personal life is usually male. Dominique DiPierro has broken that particular glass ceiling, whether she wants to or not. She's a very good detective, stubborn and persistent and not afraid to stand up to her superiors when she thinks they're being stupid. She's smart and quick with her deductions, observant, and thorough. As a member of the FBI cyber crimes unit, she's also fairly tech-savvy. And she is also very, very patient—a trait that has been very, very necessary in what's become known as the Five-Nine hack. If you only knew Dom through work, you might think she's pretty cool. She seems to have her act together, and she has that "I woke up like this" grooming that is only attained through a lot of careful work first thing in the morning.
The fact is, outside of work she has, by her own admission, "no life", and so she tries to minimize that part of her existence as much as possible. When she was younger, she ran away from a marriage proposal by literally sneaking out the back of a restaurant, and doesn't seem to have had any relationships since. Sometimes she blows off steam (not very effectively) by engaging in cybersex with strangers. She doesn't seem to have any friends outside of work, although it seems there might be enough friendly acquaintances in her life that she can "find a Fourth of July barbecue to be miserable at" if she tries hard enough. (It's also possible that she doesn't, and that statement was just the best way to describe her frustration and unhappiness at that moment.) Her dedication to her work sometimes leads her to overtax herself physically, mentally, and emotionally. And without a job to focus on, she can find herself at serious loose ends.
We see her at her most truly emotionally vulnerable in any way is with Alexa, the computer voice of her Amazon Echo. She's also a bit of an awkward turtle socially; she aims for "friendly and outgoing" and frequently overshoots into "a little bit weird"—she may be overly presumptuous, or oversharing, or otherwise ever so slightly inappropriate. Not enough to be rude, but enough to be not quite right. The truth is that she's quietly, desperately lonely, and really kind of terrible at dealing with it—the only time she ever seems to manage anything like a real human rapport with anyone is when she's interrogating them. She does have a living family, though—parents, brothers, nieces and nephews—and while they're not a regular part of her life, she does care about them very much.
At her current canon point, her life is essentially ruined. She allowed herself to be seduced by Darlene, who was just trying to get at the FBI data that she had access to, and was then kidnapped by the Dark Army. She first refused to let them turn her into a mole, but then their agent Irving violently murdered her boss in front of her and threatened her family, blackmailing Dom into going along with their demands. She's just given Darlene a brutal (and deserved) verbal shellacking and gone back to her job, traumatized and despairing.
Barge Reactions: Dom is in a state of deep depression and despair and might have easily conceded complete defeat, but the Hail Mary pass that is the Admiral's offer has given her a wake-up. She will be very eager to get an inmate, and once she does, she'll be on them constantly, doing whatever she can to get them graduated.
Being a pop culture savvy 21st century girl, Dom will definitely be quietly bewildered about some of the pop culture characters she encounters, but overall she'll adapt relatively quickly.
Deal: Dom wants to undo the Five-Nine hack. Period. She wants everything to be reset to the way it was on the morning of 5/8/2015, and for some events to stop the hack from ever happening.
