Daphne Mullen

Despite the witty caption, Daphne Mullen was formerly a teaching assistant in Hunter's sophomore English class. Her loneliness and Hunter's genuine engagement with the material--as well as his raw sexual energy--turned into a semester-long affair. Both knew it would be wrong to get attached given the illicit nature of the relationship, but both also had difficulty saying goodbye when she moved to her next placement--which is part of why Hunter's relationships are now so temporary, and why, even after returning to work in Thorn Court full-time, Daphne avoids Hunter at the high school. She teaches mostly lower-level English classes and unwanted other subjects as a new hire.
