Occupation: #241 Fisti Cuffs for Gotham Girls Roller Derby, current Co-Captain of the Manhattan Mayhem team. Nurse and aid at Brandywine Elder Care Center.
- Is the eldest of the DeLuca clan in her part of the DeLuca family. She has a little brother named Forrest. Her mother passed away just last year from an inoperable tumor, and her father is a paraplegic. He was an officer of the law in Manhattan when he was on a case, which was a drug bust. He had one of the department's drug sniffing canine's and when one of the offenders went to shoot a bullet at the dog, he took the bullet for him. The extreme downfall was that it had caused enough damage to make him confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. The dog that he saved soon after became a house pet, named Muttley, and is now with the DeLuca family.
- Her little brother was born with several complications. He only has half his hearing functions and also has several forms of autism that make him extremely slow to learn. He's often berated and made fun of for this sort of thing in schools and his diagnosis makes it hard for him to do a lot for himself. Farley is very protective of her little brother and makes all attempts to make sure he's okay and protected from the bullies of the world.
- Her extended family is fairly well known. Rizzo Raton ( Maiden name DeLuca ) is her cousin and they're pretty close.
- Was a fairly bright girl in school, but barely graduated. She made it through with barely enough credits because her main priority was to take care of her father. She felt as though it was an obligation to take care of him like he took care of her growing up when her mother couldn't do it for him because of other things she needed to do.
- She immediately went to a career college after graduating at 17 to learn a nurse craft as fast as she could punch it out. The more knowledge she had to help out her father, she thought it was the better. She also held down a diner job to help bring in some extra money for herself and the family.
- After her mother passed away, her cousin Rizzo suggested a move to West Chester, Pennsylvania. The town was a lot smaller than New York City and less stressful on her and her family. She also suggested a very nice place for her father and her brother to be able to stay in that was a great help to the elderly and the disabled/folks with special needs. It was a homing unit for them and at the same time, Farley was able to gain a job as a nurse and aid while being able to help the people there, her father, her brother and make money while doing it. It seemed as though it was a huge win-win and they went through with it.
- At 17, while still living in Manhattan, Farley developed a hobby in roller derby. She ended up joining the group, Gotham Girls Roller Derby, at 18 after training and wound up on the team Manhattan Mayhem. She met one of her best friends, Blackie Pelletier there. She's more known as Suzy Hotrod amongst derby fans. Blackie was the one to give her, her trademark name, "Fisti Cuffs", claiming that it sounded a lot like her. Farley had joined the derby circuit because she needed to release some anger and rage somewhere... legally. She had built up frustration from being angry over what happened to her father. She believed no one should have to suffer that sort of fate, much less someone who was trying to protect the innocent. The aggression got a bit worse when her mother passed. She's currently on her third season with GGRD and is co-captain for the Manhattan Mayhem team.
- Has an unusually high tolerance for pain. She's suffered many bumps and bruises in her time on the roller rink and never complained about them. Her worse injury without complaint was when she caught a roller skate to the face, which busted her open and also broke her nose. She competed the entire championship game with a bloody and broken nose and never once ow'd over it. She got fixed up after she finished the game.
- Her little brother and her father are her biggest fans and supporters. They attend every Gotham Girls event that she participates in and always bring signs and t-shirts that they had made at home. They're very grateful for her and try to support anything she does outside of taking care of them. They hope one day she'll find happiness in someone that can take care of her with the love and grace she has taking care of them.
- She's a huge lover of animals, but not borderline PETA. She has been known to take in a stray or five and is a sucker for adopting from shelters. At the moment, she lives on her own in her own place with Muttley, as well as two cats, Penelope and Rose.
- She's currently single and claims she doesn't have time to really go out and meet someone to date or marry. Her first priority is her father and her brother, then work, then derby time. Truth be told, she's a very beautiful young lady and has quite a spirit about her. She just has a bit of a time letting people in because she's got so much on her plate with taking care of everyone. She's a good girl with a good heart and deserves to be loved like anyone else.
