Paula Trainor is the best friend of [[Amy Barksdale]] in [[Brother Grimace
Paula is an African-American woman of roughly forty years in age (she and Amy were in the same year in college). She is 5'10 in height, weighs one hundred and twenty five pounds, and has long, dark hair that (when let down) falls just over her shoulders. Paula is a very attractive woman, slightly vain about her appearance (she once bragged about having the same clothing size since her time in college, and does not feel at ashamed to go to beauty spas or wearing feminine clothing when out of uniform), and not at all reluctant to speak her mind. Paula is also a lesbian, and while she is not openly gay (because she wishes to remain in the military), she does have a semi-public, long-term relationship with [[Sammi Rudolph]]. (Paula and Sammi were married in 2012, and reside in Paula's refurbished Georgetown brownstone, as seen in the post-canon ''[[Falling Into College]]'' fic [[Why We Fight]].) She does not let her sexuality act as the primary focus of her life (she once jokingly remarked that she has saved that position for her quest to get Amy married). She is a native Rhode Islander and presumably quite wealthy (according to the car she owns - a custom-made BMW roadster - and the eclectic mix of A-list persons that she knows; it has been revealed that she has a personal relationship with members of Great Britain's Royal Family). She also has a slight dislike of Southerners (or perhaps just of [[Daniel St. John]]).
(It is never stated exactly what Paula's duties in uniform entail, but it is known that she was the commander of a nuclear missile site, and served at some time during the Reagan Administration (between August 1981 and June 1984) as the officer who 'carried the Football'. She also apparently has enough authority to allow her to intimidate Federal officers, and be immediately appraised of emergency situations throughout the government.)▼

Paula was to be Amy's Maid of Honor at her wedding to [[Maurice 'Reese' Wyatt]], but was called away to the White House on important business and returned for the reception. (Not wanting to take away from Amy's special day, Paula didn't tell her that she had been promoted to
In some alternate realities, Paula also possesses metahuman powers, but as of this point, those powers have not been revealed.

In the [[Apocalyptic Daria]] universe, Paula was responsible for saving the lives of Amy, her family, and several of their close friends by deploying a DELPHI [[Gridrunner]] Mark II aircraft to Tennyson University and extracting them (and others) before Washington, D.C. was destroyed by a nuclear weapon. This is shown in the as-yet unreleased tie-in fic ''Twilight Friday''.
In the [[Daylight]] continuity of [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]], Paula saved the remaining members of the Barksdale family (Amy, as well as [[Tess Barksdale]] and [[Erin Chambers]], because she could reach them in time) by taking them with Delphi forces evacuating to another Earth. In '[[The Hope Mission]]',it is revealed that this Paula was promoted to the rank of a four-star general, and that Amy holds an unspecified position on her staff.
