Dana Moore was a leader of the Philadelphia Resistance in Homefront: The Revolution. Known for her ruthless nature, she was one of the Resistance's best tactical leaders, taking the fight to the KPA whenever she was needed.
History[]
Dana was a convict who was convicted of fraud, manipulation, and aggressive behavior.[1] She was imprisoned in Riverside Penitentiary and was sexually abused by prison guards and the warden, William Simpson. Although Dana testified before the Department of Corrections of Simpson and his collaborators' crimes, her testimony seems to be for naught after Simpson countered the argument in regards to Dana's own criminal and violent history.[2]
Sometime after the Korean occupation, Dana joined Jack Parrish's resistance cell in Philadelphia. Her time in the Resistance established a strong bond with Parrish, whom she treated like a brother.
Homefront: The Revolution[]
Dana first met Ethan Brady in which she attempt to torture him after he was mistaken for a collaborator. Fortunately, her torture was averted when Parrish and Sam Burnett intervened and correctly identified Brady.
When the Resistance's efforts to rescue Benjamin Walker was sabotaged by a traitor within the Resistance, Dana start accusing Brady and Sam as the traitor before being defused by Jack. Dana voiced her concerns that finding the traitor is a higher priority over Walker's rescue, but Jack refute that Walker's survival is vital for the revolution. The rescue mission is salvaged by an alternate plan proposed by James Crawford.
After Brady disabled Independence Hall's defenses, Dana and the Resistance stormed into the building but only to discover too late they have fallen into a trap. Mayor Simpson then appeared on a video projector to show that Crawford has betrayed the Resistance and that Walker had been mentally broken. Dana was left enraged by Crawford's betrayal and emotionally traumatized when Simpson mockingly reminded her of her sentence at Riverside, causing her to shoot at the video projector. Dana and the others managed to escape the trap when Heather Cortez brought the repaired Goliath to attack the Hall. But the escape cost Heather's life.
Soon, the KPA launched retaliatory strikes against all Resistance outposts that nearly saw the Resistance's collapse. While Jack and Sam were left demoralized by the KPA attack and their failure to rescue Walker, Dana still refused to give up the war against the KPA and especially Simpson. Dana proposed a daring plan to capture Simpson and forcing him to read a message denouncing the KPA occupation on national TV, just like Walker was forced to denounce the Resistance. She also proposed recruiting prisoners from the Restricted Zone to replenish the Resistance's numbers and partake on the attack on City Hall.
With Brady's help, the Resistance managed to storm City Hall and capture Mayor Simpson. Upon capturing Simpson, however, Dana suffered an emotional breakdown and killed her former tormentor on live television. Jack salvaged the situation by making a heartfelt speech which succeeded in convincing the people of Philadelphia to rebel.
After Dana celebrated with the others of their success, they soon learn that the KPA are retaliating by gassing the city with nerve gas; in which Simpson had warned them about.
Dana and the Resistance attempted to storm Independence Hall to shut down the Duster Drone control center that protects the KPA Airships. However, their path was blocked by a Goliath, which wounded Jack. Dana then chose to sacrifice herself to clear the way to the control center for Brady and Parrish by suicide bombing the Goliath much to the shock and dismay of her compatriots.
Personality[]
Dana was a ruthless soldier who was willing to use as much violence, and even torture, necessary to obtain her goals. She was even feared by Resistance members, particularly Baker and Scozzari. Dana was slightly sadistic, as shown on her first encounter with Brady when she, mistaking him for a spy, toys with him and gloats about how she was going to torture him for information. Dana can be considered the opposite of Sam Burnett: while Sam was a peaceful doctor who showed strong disdain for any violence, Dana is a violent combatant who appears to be excited by violence.
Despite her ruthlessness, Dana suffers heavy emotional trauma and instability, as shown when she begins crying and shooting at Simpson's video projector when Simpson toys with her and ultimately kills him in a fit of uncontrollable rage. Dana genuinely loves Parrish, referring to him as her "brother". She also cares deeply for Brady and the Resistance, and chose to end her life so they can continue to save Philadelphia.
