Early Years
Daisy Johnson was born somewhere in Hunan Province of China in the spring of 1988 to Jiaying, a local woman who had Inhuman lineage whose powers granted her immortality, and Calvin "Cal" Zabo, an American doctor. Cal delivered his daughter himself. Shortly after her birth, a group of Hydra agents under the orders of Daniel Whitehall raided the village and kidnapped the elders, including Daisy's mother. Whitehall vivisected Jiaying and used her blood and organs to regain some of his youth, and left her remains to be found by Cal, who in turn swore revenge against Whitehall after assuming she died, completely unaware of her regenerative ability.
Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As an orphan in America, she adopted the name Skye and discreetly worked for the Rising Tide in the midst of her high school days as her gift for hacking and her stigma against the corrupt and discriminatory system has both surfaced, eventually putting her on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar in her later years as an adult. However, Agent Phil Coulson chose to recruit her into his exclusive team and appointed her as a consultant where she became a valued agent during the hunt for the Clairvoyant. While on the team, Skye develop friendships with inseparable scientific duo Leo Fitz & Jemma Simmons, the seemingly cold but warmhearted Melinda May, and even grew a form of intimacy and closeness with Agent Grand Ward. After the events of the Hydra Uprising, she joined the rest of her team in going off the grid. Skye's heart was shaken to the ground when she learned that Ward was a Hydra operative in secret, rendering her to leave the Rising Tide and officially join S.H.I.E.L.D. in defeating the Centipede Project and its mastermind, Hydra superior John Garrett.
When Phil Coulson became the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye went with him to begin rebuilding the organization. Working to stop Hydra eventually led to Skye being reunited with her father. She discovered the alien-based origin of her mother's lineage, and was exposed to the Terrigen Mist, granting her vibration manipulation abilities. The activation of her abilities alerted the attention of other Inhumans, and Skye was taken to the Afterlife to help her better understand her powers. She was eventually reunited with her mother and father, and in doing so has driven her to play a large role in the conflict between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Afterlife Inhumans. Assuming her birth name, Daisy Johnson, and taking up the cryptonym of Quake, she became the first recruit and leader for the Secret Warriors, a team comprising of fellow Inhumans who voluntarily joined an altruistic cause to protect their kind from violence and prejudice at the hands of hate and terrorism. Within the Inhuman team, Daisy became close with former Afterlife member Lincoln Campbell, who truly encouraged Daisy to embrace her Inhuman nature and ended up defecting the Afterlife after witnessing Jiaying's true colors as a murderous Inhuman supremacist who was loosely following by an ancient extremist doctrine by a supposed Inhuman deity whose teachings were to unite all known Inhumans as the Earth's supreme sentient race.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War
During their investigation to deal with Inhumans in America, their thorough discovery had both positive and negative repercussions: crossing paths with Jiaying, which in turn forced S.H.I.E.L.D. to start a secret war against Jiaying's Afterlife community, much to Daisy's dismay that she had to be reunited with her mother in this way, which would have ended up becoming more tragic and chaotic for the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. if it wasn't for the incidental intervention of the diplomatic set of documents that was the Superhuman Registration Act, which essentially changed the course of leadership within the agency as Maria Hill selected by the United States Government along with the sanctity of the United Nations to appoint her as deputy director of the agency, much to Daisy's discomposure and the team's confusion since they never gave up on their objective on searching and dealing with dangerous Inhumans, including her own mother who was now on the loose after their last confrontation was interrupted.
Deeming Coulson's leadership as irresponsible and degrading to the image of a recovering S.H.I.E.L.D. for letting dangerous Inhumans on the loose as they grow in numbers instead of apprehending them, Hill had Coulson's team be placed under suspension from any field activities in the meantime, and any act of resistance and opposition against their orders would only get them to deal with far more legal consequences not even S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for managing since it was the government's decision. As the Superhuman Civil War ignited in every hero-populated state in the country, Coulson's team and the heroes who were against the legislative act used an effective distraction in order to give the outlawed Captain America and his Secret Avenger faction a chance to track down the final true location of the mastermind that catastrophically ended Ultimate War, subsequently defeating him and handing him to the authorities for his crimes against humanity. Despite knowing what their doing as morally righteous, their actions had automatically deemed them as criminals for a while, forcing Daisy and the team into hiding.
Inhuman Complex
In the aftermath of the Skrull Empire's thwarted Secret Invasion on Earth by the late 2010s, she began working with Alphonso Mackenzie and the rest of the Secret Warriors to find new Inhumans and led the team in their battle against Hydra. In this process, the agency became aware of the dark Inhuman deity-like figure, Hive, upon his return from interstellar banishment and soon had to fight against his Inhuman army in the form of the Afterlife's (those who followed most of Hive's ancient teachings) and the Attilan Royal Family's Inhumans (descendants of those who fled on the Moon from his ancient rule on Earth), which intended to transform all Earth's humanity into Inhumans. Fitz and Simmons along with the agency had teamed up with the Inhuman Royal Family, defected members from the Afterlife, and Daisy's estranged father Cal Zabo to find and synthesize a cure to Hive's power of controlling Inhumans' minds, including Daisy, before S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Inhuman alliance eventually managed to kill Hive, at the cost of casualties that included dozens of notable brainwashed Inhumans, who still fought to their last breath trying to snap out of Hive's irresistible coercion. For days, she acted as Hive's right-hand woman, until the Inhuman army they were building fell into a trap which resulted in releasing Daisy from Hive's control. The trauma of this combined with the last redeeming sacrifice of her mother Jiaying, who chose to renounce her extremist beliefs belonging to Hive and help her daughter's allies, including her former husband, restore Daisy's humanity from her deity's thrall. The bloody aftermath of Hive's defeat had unfortunately driven Daisy to momentarily leave S.H.I.E.L.D. while Lincoln worryingly watches over her while she tries to cope as a lone vigilante residing in Los Angeles.

Trivia
- Daisy considers Jemma Simmons and Yo-Yo Rodriguez to be her best friends, though she also sees Melinda May to be an older sister whom she often looks up to despite that latter's fierce and cold personality.
- Quake was able to take down an enraged Hulk in his savage grey form after he was shaken from his merged Professor Hulk state during Civil War, yet they both teamed up later on in taking down a Skrull version of the Hulk during Secret Invasion. Daisy couldn't be prouder of this unexpected feat.
- According to Deke Shaw and the archives of the Clan Askani, Quake was responsible for cracking the Earth's mantle and outer core in an alternate future after becoming overwhelmed by the battle against Apocalypse in his Great Trials around 2035, the catastrophe that was replaced by Mister Sinister's X-t(In)ction Event in the present timeline.
- Thankfully, this future never came to be, as the said Apocalypse was revealed to be a clone created by Mister Sinister as a diversion, and was activated by Stryfe, believing he had awakened the real Apocalypse. The clone was quickly taken down by the combined might of the Ultimates, who prevented Apocalypse from wreaking more havoc and causing deaths across the United States.
- Meanwhile in the alternate future, Apocalypse's original body was obliterated by Quake as the two battled, inadvertently causing the great cracking of Earth, only for Apocalypse to barely survive the ordeal when he used his telepathy to transfer his mind into a mutated clone body produced by Sinister when he rejoined the former's side around the time.
- Apocalypse retaliated at Quake stronger than ever and with her death, Sinister had taken a sample of her DNA and preserved it, as per his master's command to preserve the bloodline of their strongest fallen adversaries in the distant future, with their "children" living in the paradise which Apocalypse had promised to bring about on the Americas.
