In 2006 the northern border of the Central African Republic erupted in bloody conflict. On the surface it seemed to involve government troops and rebels, but S.A.G.E. uncovered an incursion from the Sons of Set who were attempting to make their move on the CAR. Thousands of refugees fled their homes into Chad while all who remained were subject to violence. Some witnesses reported government troops systematically killing all men and boys. The Egyptian criminal syndicate managed to secure major tracts of the northern lands and corrupted key members of the CAR government.

Africa Force made a stand in the centre of the country and with the assistance of The Hunt, they managed to quell the violence.

After the attacks, a local chemist, Darcelle Douste-Blazy approached Africa Force hoping to join the team, but her powers were too unstable and after accidentally detonating the air within an abandoned warehouse, she was asked to keep training and apply again in a year. Darcelle was crest-fallen but still determined to prove herself.

Since the outbreak of violence in early 2006, Darcelle has been seen in the capital acting as the CAR's sole superhero, Gas Girl. She has only had sporadic success and more often than not actually ends up doing a lot of property damage. This has caused the people of the Central African Republic to view her with caution and a little sarcasm.

In her private life, Darcelle is caught in a romantic love triangle. She works at a government science facility where she is being pursued by a hapless English chemist, Ben Monk, who seems to be just as prone to accidents as Darcelle. She also has to contend with the romantic interest of her childhood friend, Hardouin Bozize who has been promised Darcelle in marriage. Darcelle, however, has set her marital aspirations on the shoulders of Africa Force hero Stealth, Neo Tsholofelo.

Gas Girl is able to transform gases from one element to another, although her precision and range is still somewhat limited. She is able to create hydrogen around her body to enable her to fly. She is able to explode the air around objects, transform air to knockout gas or poison; as well as generating an explosive gust of air. She has been able to create a defensive field around her body which sometimes counters attacks against her by exploding the air between her and the impact of the attack, but this is still very limited.

Darcelle is a member of the Sara which are descended from the Sao people of Africa. She is tall and has an air of majesty which is characteristic of her people. In times past the Sara were known as the Sons of Ra and came from Egypt. Sara is, however, a woman of the twenty-first centruy. Although her family are farmers, she managed to gain access to university and currently works as a chemist in a government installation.

As Gas Girl she wears a sleek red flight suit, black leggings and gloves and a loose green shirt. To conceal her identity she wears a white scarf across her mouth, and wears white ribbons in her hair when in costume.
