Darry Curtis is the oldest of the three Curtis brothers and the de facto head of the family since their parents died. He is a natural leader and is fiercely protective of his brothers, particularly Ponyboy. Darry is a star athlete and is being recruited by colleges for his football skills. However, he is also under a lot of pressure to succeed and provide for his brothers, which causes him to be strict and overbearing at times.
