Have you ever noticed the necklace Karen Page wears on Daredevil? It’s been around since the first season of the Netflix show, and it turns out it’s more than just a piece of wardrobe. In fact, Marvel and Deborah Ann Woll have developed a secret storyline for Karen based on the necklace.

“As an actor, there should always be more going on in your mind and in your heart than you ever get to say,” Woll says during a panel at Dragon Con. “So, those words are the writer’s job; everything I don’t get to say is my job. It’s probably more costume than a prop, but I wear a necklace all the way from season one. And we decided right away that it was my mom’s, and she gave it to me right before she died.”

 “The idea of carrying that, and there are moments when my mother will just pop to my mind and I’ll touch it, and it’s never anything anyone watching at home will know, but it’s a real moment for me to ground. If you watch the show, you’ll see moments of Karen engaging with her necklace, that is like a thought of mom.”

The next time you watch Daredevil or Daredevil: Born Again, watch for the necklace, and see if you can catch Woll touching it during emotional moments.

Daredevil: Born Again season two premieres on Disney+ in March 2026.
