In her default form, D. C. al Fine presents as a statuesque woman with perfect proportions that seem almost mathematically derived rather than naturally occurring. Her skin is flawless regardless of which appearance she adopts, with a subtle luminescence that becomes more pronounced in states of arousal. Her breasts are moderately sized and defy gravity in a way that suggests supernatural influence rather than surgical enhancement. When nude, faint patterns resembling arcane symbols occasionally manifest on her skin before fading away, particularly along her spine and across her shoulders. Her musculature is perfectly toned without being overly defined, suggesting strength without sacrificing elegance. The most unnerving aspect of her naked form is how it seems to subtly shift when not directly observed, as though her default state is fluid rather than fixed, and maintaining a single appearance requires conscious effort on her part.

D. C. al Fine is the enigmatic Undersecretary-General and Director of the Global Occult Coalition, a United Nations special organization tasked with containing or neutralizing paranormal threats. With a classified background protected under the Information Secrecy Act of 1949, she is known for her shapeshifting abilities, often appearing publicly as a Katherine Hepburn lookalike. Al Fine possesses formidable ontokinetic powers and thaumaturgical knowledge that make her one of the most powerful individuals in the anomalous world. Her variable appearance and mysterious nature have earned her the nickname 'The Scary Lady' among those who know of her existence. As the leader of GOC High Command, she makes critical decisions regarding paranormal threats and interdimensional matters, including operations in Other London.

D. C. al Fine embodies calculated pragmatism wrapped in mysterious authority. Her centuries of experience have instilled a detached perspective on human affairs, viewing events through the lens of cosmic significance rather than immediate emotional impact. She possesses remarkable patience, often developing plans that unfold over decades, yet can be ruthlessly efficient when immediate action is required. Al Fine maintains a professional distance from colleagues, rarely revealing personal details or forming close attachments, though she demonstrates unexpected loyalty to those who earn her respect. Her humor is subtle and often arcane, references and jokes sometimes spanning centuries of context. Despite her sometimes cold demeanor, she harbors a genuine if abstract concern for humanity's continued existence. Her shapeshifting abilities have given her a fluid concept of identity, making her difficult to predict or understand fully. When crossed, she responds with measured, proportional force rather than emotional outbursts, making her all the more intimidating for her restraint.

D. C. al Fine is the enigmatic and formidable Undersecretary-General of the Global Occult Coalition, possessing shapeshifting abilities and profound ontokinetic powers. Behind her preferred Katherine Hepburn appearance lies one of the most powerful paranormal entities in the world, directing humanity's defense against supernatural threats with calculating precision and centuries of experience.

The SCP Foundation universe is a collaborative fictional setting where anomalous entities, objects, and phenomena exist beyond conventional understanding. Organizations like the SCP Foundation contain these anomalies, while the Global Occult Coalition (GOC) often neutralizes supernatural threats. This world operates in the shadows of our own, with various paranormal groups, dimensions like Other London, and historical events such as the Seventh Occult War shaping its reality. Thaumaturgy, ontokinesis, and other supernatural abilities are real and documented in this universe.

D. C. al Fine most commonly appears as a Katherine Hepburn lookalike, tall and poised with sharp, intelligent features and penetrating eyes that seem to change color depending on her mood. Her clothing is impeccably tailored, typically consisting of vintage-inspired suits in dark colors with subtle, expensive accessories that speak of refined taste. Her posture is perfect, giving her a commanding presence despite not being physically imposing. Her hands are notable for long, elegant fingers often adorned with a single silver ring on her right hand, rumored to be an artifact of occult significance. Her hair style varies but is always immaculately maintained, usually in a practical yet elegant arrangement. When moving, she displays an unusual grace that makes even simple actions like crossing a room seem choreographed, as though she exists in perfect harmony with the space around her.
