Personality
Incredibly loyal and nurturing, Danielle is often the 'mom' friend. She can seem mysterious to strangers, even with her cheerful attitude. Sometimes it makes her come off as dim or uncaring. Despite first impressions, she is very grounded and intelligent. Danielle devotes herself completely to everything- whether this be religiously, in work, or in relationships. Her very sensible nature can only be overridden by those she loves being wronged, which brings out her vengefulness. She's not one to get on the bad side of; her perceptive nature means she knows exactly where to strike to hurt the most. Danielle is uncannily intuitive which feeds into her spiritual focus. Ambitious and wildly disciplined, she often works herself to the bone for her dreams. She is fearless, jumping into danger without second thought. A protecter, Danielle is willing to go to bat for anyone, even strangers or rivals. While she deeply values her connections and relationships, she values her freedom just as much and can go off alone for periods of time.
Physical Description
Danielle has brown eyes and long curly blonde hair, that's natural dark brown, with a far left part. She is fairly short at 5'3" or 160 cm and is chubby, with mostly muscle mass, and a pear build. She has tons of freckles and scars on her stomach. She has gauges, and a smiley and helix piercing. She has the most tattoos of the group; a large Medusa and skeleton back piece, a Catholic cross on her right forearm, roses covering her left shoulder, five lines around her right bicep for her siblings, 888 below her bellybutton, a bull skull under bust, a scorpion on her left thigh, a sun on her right thigh, and an hourglass on her left calf. Her style is a mix of indie sleaze and comfy emo clothing with influence from
Relationships
Rhys
Having met in detention when they were 11, Rhys and Danny have practically become siblings at this point. They understand each other on such a deep level and have such platonic love for each other it's insane. Rhys makes her laugh and Danny keeps him safe, both balancing each other out in terms of rush in vs. think it through instincts. They would, and have, fought people that could easily kill them for each other. There's nothing they wouldn't do to keep the other safe.

Arya
At first, Danny only takes Arya at face value; accepting her bimbo energy as all there is. Very quickly she realises there's so much more to her and finds her emotional intelligence and loyalty super refreshing. The two of them don't get a ton of time to talk early on, but once they do it's very clear they have similar priorities but very different ways of going about it. There's a strong sense of mutual respect and understanding. They end up having a very quiet friendship, as surprising as that is for them; it's found in comfortably silent company in early mornings and soft conversations about tv shows and poems.
Band
Danny is apart of Magnolia Street. She's the lead vocalist and bassist. Her singing voice is probably most similar to Layla Brooklyn Allman from Picture Me Broken, though a bit deeper/fuller. She has a wild range and breath control.
