The hair tie might be a tracker. In the story, a new villain in the Avengers' universe has the ability to track people through their personal items. Darcy doesn't know that her hair tie has been marked. But when the Avengers start to notice strange things happening around Darcy, like unexplained attacks on her or things going missing near her, they discover that the hair tie is the link. It then becomes a plot device as they have to figure out how to stop the villain from using the hair tie to get to Darcy and also use it to their advantage to track down the villain.
It could be a symbol of a prophecy. In the fanfiction world, there could be an ancient prophecy that mentions a 'band of power on the wrist of a true believer'. Darcy, being an Avengers fan, is the true believer. When the Avengers face a seemingly unbeatable enemy, they start to notice that Darcy's hair tie on her wrist has some strange powers. It glows when danger is near or gives off a force field. This makes the hair tie a central plot device as they figure out how to use its powers to defeat the enemy.
A black hair tie on the wrist can be a link between different storylines or characters. One character might be searching for the owner of the black hair tie they found on their wrist, which leads them to cross paths with other important characters. It could also be a symbol of a character's loyalty. If a character is part of a group, wearing the black hair tie on the wrist shows their allegiance to that group, and any threat to the hair tie can be a threat to the character's loyalty and relationships within the group.
The hair tie could be a key to unlocking a hidden power or a mystery. Say there are ancient prophecies in the Twilight universe that mention a hair tie on the wrist being the key to something big. Writers can build a whole plot around characters trying to figure out what that something is and how to use the hair tie to their advantage.
It could be used as a way to identify the protagonist. For instance, in a world full of Pokemon trainers, the unique Pokemon hair tie on the wrist makes the main character stand out. Other characters might recognize it and know that the person wearing it is someone special or has a particular connection to a certain Pokemon or event.
It can be a clue. For instance, the hero in the fanfiction might notice the hair tie on the wrist of a suspect and start to suspect that person of being involved in the kidnapping. It's a simple but effective way to introduce an element of mystery and investigation into the story.
One idea could be that Darcy, being an Avengers fan, always wears a hair tie on her wrist as a sort of good - luck charm. In the fanfiction, she could be an intern at Stark Industries and one day, while wearing that hair tie, she accidentally stumbles upon a secret project of the Avengers. Maybe it's a new type of weapon or a device that could potentially change the fate of the world. This discovery then thrusts her into the middle of an Avengers - related adventure where she has to use her wits and the 'lucky' hair tie (which could end up having some hidden significance) to help the Avengers save the day.
The hair tie on the wrist could be a tracker. In a fanfiction where dark forces are after a character, the hair tie could be enchanted in such a way that the bad guys can sense its location. This would create a lot of tension as the character has to either find a way to hide the signal or use it to their advantage, like leading the villains into a trap. It could also be a way for the good guys to find the character if they get lost or kidnapped. For example, a group of Hogwarts students could use a spell to track the hair tie's magic signature. Another way it could be a plot device is if it has the power to transfer memories. When a character touches it, they might start seeing visions of past events related to the Harry Potter world, which could lead them on a quest to uncover the truth about something that happened long ago. This could be a crucial part of the story's mystery and drive the plot forward as they try to piece together the fragmented memories.
It might not seem like much, but the hair tie could be a conversation starter. Maybe one of the Avengers comments on it, and it leads to a more in - depth conversation, strengthening their bond. For example, Thor could be curious about this strange 'band' on her wrist, and Darcy's explanation could make him see her in a new light.
Well, it could be a simple fashion statement. Maybe Darcy just likes to have a hair tie handy in case she needs to quickly put her hair up, like if she's in the middle of some Avengers - related chaos and doesn't want her hair in her face. It could also be a gift from someone, perhaps a fellow Avenger or a friend, which would add a bit of sentiment to it.
It could be used as a way to identify Bella in a dangerous situation. If she is kidnapped or in trouble, the hair tie could be the one thing that gives her away or helps her friends find her. For example, if she leaves a piece of the hair tie behind, her vampire or werewolf friends can track her scent using it.
The hair tie on the wrist could be a key part of a mystery. Suppose a character finds a strange hair tie on their wrist and doesn't remember how it got there. This could lead them on a journey to figure out what happened during a time they can't recall. It could be related to a blackout or some sort of mind - altering event that is common in the Pretty Little Liars universe.
