When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: Sandy, dirty blond, cut short
Height and Weight: five seven, one hundred and seventeen pounds
Other Distinguishing Features: A very fine dust of freckles on the bridge of her noose
Overall Appearance:
A bit taller then the average girl and definitely toned from always being active, even without her overly exuberant personality Danii has a way of standing out in the crowd on looks alone. Strikingly fitting the old idea of the all-American girl next door with her wavy, fine dirty blond hair cut in a short, wavy bob with a pair of hair-clips to keep her bangs from falling into her big blue doe like eyes that always sparkle with a certain mirth to them, twinkling more like stars instead. She's fair skinned, with the lightest dust of freckles over her nose and cheeks that have faded over the years, something shes utterly thankful for as she was tired of the freckle jokes.
The blond loves pretty things, and generally likes to go along with the latest fashion trends when she's going to something important or out somewhere classy. On a regular day though, even when shes running around at work she chooses to wear loose clothing, things that let her breath and move around without constriction, generally though it tends to leave little to the imagination. Short pleated skirts, denim cutoff short shorts and an American flag print bra or tank top peaking out of a button down shirt are staples of her wardrobe, along with a bomber jacket reminiscent of Alfred's out of admiration of the man, well that and he didn't like it when she kept stealing his.

Overall Personality:
Danii is bubbly to put it simply, peppy, and just generally a big ball of energy ready to explode all over the place if confined in one spot for too long. She's the type of person that is always ready to go, always challenging someone to a race and hates being locked indoors. If its raining she's jumping in puddles, if its snowing be ready to be pulled, against your will or not, into a snowball fight. The girl just can't seem to contain herself, god forbid someone has to keep an eye on her, Danii can be quite a handful with her hyperactive ways, but it's just because she wants to have fun. There's so much energy always buzzing around the capital, with political debates going on, protests, and just the people going about their day to day lives that it rubs off on Danii, she just has to be doing something.
She's a ridiculously friendly person, and that's mentioned as more of a forewarning really. Danii is one of those 'touchy feely' sorts for sure, always with an arm around someones shoulder or just invading someone's space since she doesn't have much of a concept of the 'personal bubble.' Most can't fault her too much for it, because she's just so damn sweet and nice and out to be everyone's best friend, but it can get a little tiresome, especially when someone has to tell her for the seventeenth time to either back away, or calm down, or not to touch, or not to be so loud....well you get the picture. Luckily though, Danii always has candy on her and is willing to do just about anything for someone she deems a friend, so they overlook the fact that she's attached herself to their back like a koala or cuddling into them without provocation.
As rainbow and butterflies as the girl can be though, that doesn't mean she's a pushover. She is American after all. Getting on Danii's bad side is a hard thing to do, but if someone actually manages to do it, she isn't above hitting someone over the head with her baseball bat. And hard at that. She's a fiery girl, passionate to a fault and when someone gets her angry all that passion gets transferred into a heavy hit that people don't want to be on the receiving end of. Danii can loose track of her strength, and her passion if someone gets on the wrong side of her, so in short, just dont do it.

I'm the hero!
Originally, when America was founded, Danii was nothing more then the child of a colony who loved to run through the American wilderness and hid away where no one could find her for hours at a time, making friends with the Algonquian speaking people known as the Nacotchtank who lived there first. When the American Revolution broke out she chopped her long dirty blond hair short, dressed up as a boy and joined the ragtag militia from Maryland, more then ready to fight for the fledgling country, just because England had it coming, seriously those taxes were murder on her colonists. She was rather jealous of Philadelphia at the time, being named the county's capital as well as simply knowing what Philly was as she had always had an identity crisis herself. She wasn't an actual colony, so what was she? But she fought hard none the less.
When she was given the chance to be the capital city on July sixteenth, seventeen-ninety the girl nearly exploded she was so happy and set to work helping with the building of the city itself. Danii was enjoying herself greatly until the War of eighteen twelve, when the British Army managed to capture her and set her city on fire. It was definitely a traumatic experience and she still has faded burn scars on her back from it, along with an aversion to fire to this day. She managed to get away from the Royal Army on chance, twenty six hours after the had caught her and occupied the capital city, a tornado past by, blowing out much of the flames and sweeping off the British Army and their artillery.
After the treaty was signed to end the war Danii went back and helped to rebuild the buildings of the city yet again, girl or not, she would never take no for an answer when it came to helping her country or not. This deep patriotism and love for the country though nearly had her in tears during the Civil War when it broke out in eighteen sixty-one, she didn't know what do do with herself. Danii didn't want to go to war with the South but she always believed that every one, be it a man or a woman of different color or not had the fundamental right to be free. The girl ended up siding with the North and then boss Lincoln created the Army of the Potomac to protect her city since it was so close to the drawn line in the and separating the country. In addition she spent the war taking care of wounded and sick soldiers while being flanked by a pair of bodyguards no matter how hard she tried to shake them.
Danielle ended up 'sprouting like a weed' as Alfred said affectionately once, during the time, the influx of soldiers and citizens cause the girl to expand. The twentieth century brought the 'City Beautiful Movement' and the girl got herself something of a spa treatment facial as a few of her buildings were redesigned and monuments added. Unfortunately segregation came with it, and though she was deeply displeased by it, she couldn't go against her bosses wishes. While she didn't participate in World War I herself, a good few of her soldiers did and Danii was left to keep the peace at home when America did jump in to help in July nineteen seventeen. July nineteen nineteen was a hard one, now known as the Red Summer, when the troops came home from the war what essentially became a race riot broke out in the capital, four months of violence left her with bruises her end there.
The period during World War II was insane for more reasons then one, while the world was at war and the US was trying to stay out of it, Danii was watching the Civil Rights movement grow in her proverbial back yard. The December nineteen forty-one attack on Pearl Harbor was too much and when war was declared no one could stop her from joining in. It was a hard time, memories that she would rather not talk about still plague her from time to time, she had seen horrific things then. When she came back home she was met with the Civil Rights movement and she was utterly in awe of Martin Luther King Jr and his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Whenever the United States found itself in a war, Danii was there backing Alfred and the country one hundred percent, at home she would pay attention to legislation, and though she can't argue, the girl had no problem speaking her mind and making her thoughts known to the politicians. The Cold War was tricky though and she hasn't trusted Cuba ever since either. September eleventh two thousand and one though, she had thought that was going to be another ordinary day and Danii was up and about getting coffee and a muffin, well a few muffins, from a little cafe a few blocks from the White House when a sharp pain in her hand caused her to drop her coffee. The scar from where the plane plowed into the pentagon is still rather fresh looking on the palm of her right hand, it might not have been in the city limits, but it was still looked at as a part of the capital.
She could see the smoke when she stood, even from the distance, and knew things would never be the same again. The war on terror is what their boss Bush had called it, she didn't care what the name was so long as the people that hurt her country got what they deserved in the end. Danii endeavored to build predator drones herself if she had to, you don't attack the good old United States of America on her watch and get away with it.
