Hypnos

How does your character feel about him? Explain:
Dani's no quite sure how she feels about her father. On one hand this guy left her mom a single parent which left her mom in pretty bad shape both emotionally and financially because her mom was still trying to get her doctorate in psychology. On the other hand she doesn't really know him so she can't form much of an opinion of him.

Relationships:
Closest Friends
Daphne Aiden Yoon-Daughter of Hecate, Daphne was the first person to tell Dani that she was a demigod. Daphne was just returning from a mission when she got an Iris Message from a satyr that had been watching Dani that there was a monster attacking her and he needed back up. Daphne rushed to the scene  because she was pretty close and pretty much saved the day.

Haru 'Aikai-Son of Aphrodite. Dani met Haru when they were paired up for Canoe Racing. After coming in second they got to talking and found out about their shared love of history. Thus began a beautiful friendship that would latter blossom into love.

Kylee Mendez-Daughter of Hephaestus. Kylee was the first person Dani meet at camp. Kylee being one of the friendliest person you can meet noticed a shy quiet Dani, struggling to make friends and immediately took Dani under her wing. 


Enemies?:
Generally any monster that attacking her. Griffons.

People they dislike (both at Camp and outside):
Drew Tanaka-Mainly because she's mean to Haru and doesn't trust her with the whole charmspeak thing

Chelsea Wise-Carlos' girlfriend

Mithchell Ngyuen-Carlos' second in command

Boyfriend/Girlfriend: 
(A/N: Dani doesn't start dating Haru until she's 15)
Haru 'Aukai. Danielle first met this son of Aphrodite when she was paired with him in canoe racing. They got to talking and found out they both had a love of history after that they became good friends. Over time they both started to develop feelings for each other but neither would say anything. Soon enough it became apparent to everyone they were close too. Finally Daphne somehow got the both of them alone together and then that’s when Haru confessed his feelings for Dani

Past Relationships:
None

First Kiss:
Haru 'Aukai

In Dani's eye it doesn't count as a real date because the boy who asked her out only did it on a dare.

Strong arms, good balance, very skilled with her sword.
Weaknesses:
Agility, fastness, stealth.

Sleep Inducement (powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Sl…)- She can make others fall asleep just by reaching her hand out at them. It works better on people than monsters.

Fatal Flaw:
Self Confidence. She always thinks that whatever choice she makes is wrong. This leads her to second guess herself and can lead to her stalling at the worst possible moments.

Background
Born to Michiko Takahashi and Hypnos in Long Beach California, Danielle was a happy child. She didn't have a father around so money was a bit tight, never the less, her mother always made sure they had the necessities and sometimes a little extra for fun stuff.   When she was 5 Dani and her mother moved to Japan to take care of her mother's sickly grandmother. That's when the trouble started. While attending school she was teased and bullied for her weight. She was a little chubbier than the average Japanese elementary schooler and that made all the difference. There they stayed until her great grandmothers passing. 
 At age 7 they moved back to California, a bit better off than when they left due to her mother’s new inheritance. Dani's life was pretty much normal after that. Yes she was bullied for her weight almost constantly, yes there was the occasional typical demi-god or monster related incident but other than that all was well.
 When she turned 12 she was attacked by a griffon while on vacation in New Jersey. She managed to get away with only a claw mark on her right shoulder but only thanks to Daphne Yoon. From there Daphne told Dani's mother everything while a satyr that had been watching her tended to an unconscious Dani. When she woke up they (meaning Dani, her mom and Daphne) were all in the car driving to Camp Half Blood. 

Other Notes:

Danielle was diagnosed with bipolar depression at age 10

She can get a lot done when she feels up to it

She's a pretty good actor.

She has a pretty good singing voice which she mostly uses for performing in musicals at school

She preferred super hero action figures over barbies as a child

Her favorite super heroes are Iron Man, Wonder Woman and Sailor Moon
