Played By: Olivia Hallinan
Birthdate: February 23, 1988

Why? Danielle was put in Gryffindor based on her potential and inner self. Due to various circumstances, she’s not as brave as she might have been, as she will be.

Personality:

Strengths:

(Magical): She works well with animals and Transfiguration comes naturally, although she gets no pleasure from the subject. She also enjoys flying a great deal and is quite good at it.

(Personality): Danielle is suberb at both lying and projecting an outward calm. She does care for her friends and yearns to get closer to people.

Weaknesses:

(Magical): Danielle isn’t horrible at any particular subject, really. She’s just very, very average in most of her classes. Her worst class is probably Charms which she has to work at to get passable grades. Danielle is highly apathetic, which shows in her grades. Most of the times she tries to pass the class, but hse couldn’t care less if she got an A or an O.

(Personality): Danielle is utterly apathetic. Additionally, she’s a compulsive liar and not about cheating off her friends when possible. She lies about her family situation, her boyfriend, her sexuality, her monetary situation, and her blood. A lot of the time she feels like she doesn’t get along well with her housemates because she’s more reserved and quiet than most Gryffindors. Her lies distance her from others and she often seems aloof. She doesn’t have a lot of close friends, just many people she can hang out with and call friends.

Fears: Danielle’s greatest fear is that all the lies she’s been telling will fall through and she’ll lose the friends she does have. She has no idea where she’s going with her life and that scares her a lot. Most of her classmates have a fair idea of what they want to be but Danielle still feels lost.

History: Danielle’s past if full of a lot of crushed dreams. She wanted to be an Animagus for a very long time but was disappointed when she realized this wasn’t feasible. One of the years she tried out for the Quidditch team but failed to secure a spot. Her mother didn’t tell her father about her magical past, and when Danielle started showing magical signs (which could be very violent) her father was uneasy. When Danielle was accepted to Hogwarts her mother was forced to tell her father. They argued, and during the summer of her 3rd-4th year they divorced. Her mother eventually won custody rights, but Danielle still sees her father over the winter holidays. During the last Christmas holidays, Danielle came back as a boy and her father completely flipped out. Angry, Danielle stayed with her mother and promised to never see her father again. Right now she lives in a two bedroom apartment in Wales with her mother.

Danielle’s relationship with her father (Matthew Tailerson) is very rocky. She refuses to speak with him. Her mother doesn’t get along with her either, and Danielle is looking forward to moving out. However, she knows this will require getting a job so she’s at a loss.

Although she’s bisexual, Danielle lies to her classmates and pretends she’s straight. Even though she knows that different orientations are more accepted she’s still unsure and hiding. Danielle has also informed her classmates that her father is a pureblood and that her parents are still together.

Physical Description: At the least, provide base details of build, height, eye/hair colour, and complexion. Danielle is 5'5.5" inches, and weighs 138 pounds. She has brown hair died a reddish color and large brown eyes. She’s fairly tan although she does sunburn from time to time.

Broom: Danielle owns the newest Comet broom. She doesn’t have a Nimbus as they’re too expensive, but her mother bought her a nice broom for her birthday when they still had money and her parents weren't divorced.

Relationships:

Alex Departie - alex_departie - Why does Danielle spend so much time with him? Why does Danielle spend ANY time with him? She's not really sure. But he intrigues her and she's a bit of a masochist.
Ashleigh Barton - ashleigh_barton - Ashleigh is too Gryffindor for Danielle. She really doesn't get along with housemates. They don't hate on each other (Ashleigh is too nice) but they don't get along.
Bryant Sawyer - bryantsawyer - Both Bryant and Danielle enjoy blowing off classes. However, Bryant's strong inclinations towards Gryffindor make Danielle wary (she dislikes the house and feels like she doesn't belong). They're polite sort-of friends.
Calie... what is her last name anyway? - in Danielle's opinion Calie is a little suspicious and deserves more investigation.
David Hamilton - laidbackdave - Danielle can be a little inyourface for David, but when she's in a calmer mood they get along fine and can whine about general not knowingness.
Dominic Bertrade - dashing_dom - Together in classes and about the common room. Danielle confuses him sometimes by being spazzy with their relationship.
Edward McMillan - edward_mcmillan - Danielle doesn't understand his drive at all. She's a bit amazed by his grades, being the uninspired lazy thing she is.
Jeremy Pitt - jeremy_pitt - Danielle's snogged him (more than once) at sometime or another. She still thinks he's pretty darn cute.
Jojo Jenkins - jojo_jenkins - 1: be friends 2: Danielle pulls away 3: Danielle is clingy 3: Danielle screws something up 4: Danielle begs for forgiveness 5: Jojo forgives Danielle 6: back to step 1.
Nicodemus Florentine - craftynicodemus - Nico's pined after her at some point, but Danielle thinks that Nico is a dork and all-around weird. She thinks he's fake.
Phoebe Hamilton - phoebe_hamilton - Danielle sees Phoebe and wonders why she was sorted into Gryffindor. Phoebe has too much energy, which leaves Danielle feeling "eh" towards her. But she's David's sister so... whatever.
Tybalt Raynard - master_tybalt - Danielle is floored by his all-Americanness. She doesn't mind talking to him but never feels completely comfortable.
Von Courtlandt- punkervon - Von and Danielle met each other through Jojo and started to date during Valentines in their fifth year. Things ended badly and there's been hostility and awkwardness every since.
Zak Reso - zak_reso - Danielle and Zak used to be good friends until he found out she lied to him when he was a 5th year. Ever since she's avoided him like crazy. Anytime they're together it becomes... awkward.

Leave a comment for backstory! And you know you want it! Friends, enemies, and previous snogs/shags!

CHARACTER PENDING APPROVAL CHARACTER APPROVED!

Because of the nature of my character, I'd really like some enemies as well as friends. I'd especially like some jilted friends that Danielle lied to and got caught. Also, I'd love to have a few people who know more about her than the average friend. If you can't commit, that's fine too. I just want her properly networked so I can thread and plot and such.
