Manipulated Living
Elizabeth Darko
Played by Maggie Gyllenhaal
Donnie's older sister, Frank's girlfriend, newly admitted to Harvard. The Halloween party she throws on October 29 is where the final night begins.
Elizabeth's acceptance to Harvard is the excuse for the party; the party is why Frank is in a rabbit costume, why Donnie and Gretchen are together, and why the house is full when Donnie realises the countdown has hours left.
The closing scenes return to the Primary Universe, where the engine falls on October 2 and kills Donnie in his bed. There Elizabeth stands on the lawn with her family, looking up at the engine in her brother's bedroom.
