main,

It's rather difficult to pinpoint Dani's true personality, as it seems to change with the situations she's placed in, but there are a few noticeable actions she always keeps. Dani can be rather needy at times, she craves attention from others, as well as praise, like a kitten. In some situations she has come across as naive and pain is not her strong point and she cries out when struck, her eyes will feel with tears when scolded. If behaving mostly mature she can be highly attentive, listening to every command given, and loyalty is a strong point though she isn't always sure when she breaks it. She does have mother issues and can be rather clingy towards certain women, which probably did help with her adoration towards Alice. She doesn't enjoy being away from her maker for too long and despite looking weak she shows to be skilled with swords and other types of blades.

important people

Alice - Dani's maker and everything Dani knows, being without her maker is painful and generally makes her miserable until the two are reunited again. The two are quite close though their relationship doesn't seem to go past the mother/daughter type and both try their best to care for each other.

history

Her birth was one that had been known, the child of two royals of Sweden so one would think that her life would be of the greatest. Dead wrong, her mother wanted nothing but perfection and though the young Danielle was as lovely as they came the woman could only see the imperfections, what others thought as perfectly fair skin she saw as too pale and those well groomed strawberry blonde curls were unruly.

Danielle suffered often because of these "mistakes". Pinned up in her room when she behaved wrongly it caused her to become flighty which obviously her mother didn't enjoy and though that throwing her into a private school would help. In the end Dani had lacked the social skills and though she was sweet she never exactly became popular and in the end she was pulled back out by her father and went through homeschool.

Danielle had loved her father and him the same, the two often spoke of a life without the mother but honestly how could they run? Eventually her father's passing broke the girl and she simply became a silent shell, listening to her mother with no fight though a spark came back during a trip to New York where she had been left in a hotel for a few hours. Really it wasn't that difficult to find the cash her mother had left behind and sneak out in disguise. It was confusing, the girl’s English wasn’t exactly spot on so after running she rarely spoke, taking years to grow used to the country.

Naturally the life she had run to was far from what she was used to, the money could only last so long and eventually she found herself on the streets and resorting to petty thievery to survive. Her skill of lying and stealing grew quickly and with those charming looks honestly who could believe that she could do anything against them? Dani has aged to become used to living the life as a street rat, the flighty nature she had gained as a child had become useful in getting her out of tricky situations and she doesn't entirely rely on thieving. Her English skills grew better as the years passed, though the street slang often sound odd with her Swedish accent.

Indeed this all happened decades ago when the girl was still very much human, at the point of almost turning 21 a woman found her and became like a mother. Dani was smitten with the lovely woman, whose bright blonde hair and inviting green eyes offered an escape for the girl. It wouldn't be long when the woman, whose name was Alice, would slowly begin to introduce Dani into her life. For months the two would get used to each other and grow a bond that stayed when Alice finally turned her.

Dani fit well into the world of the Vampires, she learned to speak proper English and quickly showed that her best skills seemed to work with that of many blades. The girl adored sword fighting, seemed to be a natural and with this she became dangerous.

Now nearing a century the girl shows no want to leave her Sire’s side, her loyalty has proved to be stronger than most and for the time being the girl plans to keep it that way.
