Darlene Fleischermacher

"I see the way you look at me! But you know what? I'm tired of low carbs. I'm tired of celery! I'M HUNGRY!"

- Darlene, when first approaching Nick

Darlene Fleischermacher is a psychopath in Dead Rising 3. She is one of seven psychopaths who embody the Seven Deadly Sins. Darlene's sin is Gluttony.

Due to her clinical obesity, Darlene is confined to a scooter, but her large body mass and her obsessive mania with food make Darlene a potentially lethal threat. Darlene has profound feelings of entitlement and martyrdom. She is provoked by the fact that she cannot eat it all. If she becomes aggressive, reminders that she is hungry may distract her into eating.

Dead Rising 3
Nick discovers a survivor trying to get into the kitchen of a diner. As Nick proceeds to talk to the survivor, he slips in a puddle of vomit. Darlene hears him and appears around the corner of the buffet kitchen, eating any food that she can find. When Nick tries to reason with her and tells her to stop eating, she refuses to stop. The survivor sees this as an opportunity to try to gather food from the kitchen. However, she spots him doing so and attacks him by throwing three plates at him. As she yells at the survivor to get away from "her" food, she stabs him with a large spork. Nick tries to stop her, but the survivor is already dead. Darlene then turns on Nick as she suspects him calling her "fat".

After Darlene is defeated, she begins to complain about a stomach ache and indigestion. She attempts to "purge" Nick by charging at him with her scooter once again, but the scooter slips on a puddle of her vomit and she ends up falling onto her back. She starts throwing up again (this time a black bile) and dies by choking on her own vomit.

The Gluttonous achievement will unlock after she is killed.

Battle Style

 * Despite being morbidly obese, Darlene is suprisingly fast, probably because of her three-wheeled mobility scooter. She is capable of doing a quick charge against Nick, for if it is successful, she will repeatedly stab Nick/Dick with a big spork, taking away about a single bar of health.
 * She can also do a simple charge attack where she simply slams anyone with her scooter at high speed.
 * She can use her spork/knife/meat cleaver to slash anyone, doing low damage.
 * She can spin around in her scooter, hitting anyone in a small area.
 * She can vomit on the floor, which results in anyone except for herself to slip and hit the floor if they run over the vomit. She usually does this with her spin attack.
 * Similar to Antoine Thomas in Dead Rising 2, she can drive to an area inside the diner and start eating food. This will regenerate her health, but also serves as her weakness: while eating, she is left vulnerable to attacks and especially to being grabbed.
 * Also similar to Antoine, she also throws plates and knives from her scooter basket. While the plates don't do too much damage or simply bounce off Nick, the knives are more dangerous.

Trivia

 * She is similar to Larry and Antoine; they all restore their health by eating and they use food utensils to fight.
 * She is similar to Jo and Randy; they all move very quickly despite themselves being obese. However, while Jo and Randy were able to move on their feet, Darlene moves around on a scooter.
 * She is similar to Steven Chapman; they both insanely scream a certain word for an extended period of time as the screen shakes.
 * Her boss battle theme was used in the Megaman X gameplay trailer.
 * 'Fleischermacher' roughly translated from German means 'meat maker'. This is somewhat ironic as judging from her personality, she would rather eat meat than make meat, but it could just refer to how she got obese, therefore making "meat". The more accurate translation would be 'butcher maker', perhaps referring to the fact that Nick kills her, so survivors can eat. This would make Nick the 'Fleischer'.
 * She constantly burps and farts during the battle, making it a comical fight.
 * There are several first place ribbons pinned on Darlene's clothing, although it is unknown what sort of contest or contests she won to obtain them. They are most likely from food eating contests.
