Danica Maupoissant Danica Bonaduce , formerly known as Danica Maupoissant , was a human monk . She was the wife of Cadderly Bonaduce and mother of their three children . Description . A small woman , Danica was hardly taller than five feet . However , every inch of her body was covered in lean , toned muscle , a testament to her strict martial training . However , the muscle hardly diminished her feminine qualities , enhancing them rather . She had strawberry blonde hair , which fell just below her shoulders in unruly curls . Her eyes were dark and almond - shaped , thanks to her oriental heritage . Danica was noted as being stunningly beautiful , attracting the attention of Cadderly and Kierkan Rufo , as well as Elbereth , the elf prince of Shilmista . Personality . Danica was wholly devoted to the teachings of the great monk , Grandmaster Penpahg D ' Ahn . As such , she was disciplined , ordered , and in complete control of her emotions at all times . When Cadderly initially proposed marriage , Danica instantly informed him that she would not give up her studies for any man . Danica was also an extraordinarily perceptive young woman . She often correctly guessed other individuals ' thoughts and motivations with little conscious effort . Brave and fun loving , she was often at the forefront of every battle , using her speed and strength to assist her slower comrades . She usually cried out nonsensical comments to calm herself against overwhelming odds . Danica believed that the ends justified the means . Though she abhorred needless killing , she would not shy away from it if she believed it necessary . Despite her usually kind and tender demeanor , Danica often went to extreme measures to prove a point . If a man went too far with her , she would not hesitate to use violence to put him in his place when words did not suffice ( she paralyzed Caddely ' s arm when he groped her breast while making out ) . Danica also seemed to have a talent for insults . She was able to taunt both Fyrentennimarr and a vampire Histra into rages so severe they were unable to fight properly . History . Early Years . Danica Maupoissant was born in Westgate , the only child of Lord Maupoissant , a famous wagoneer , and his wife . Little is known about Danica ' s mother , other than the fact she hailed from Tabot , a land far to the east . Her father was one of the best wagon engineers in Westgate and often drew jealousy from rival artisans . It is unknown why , but Danica was sent to a local disciple of Penpahg D ' Ahn , who was also a friend of her father and hailed from Tabot . Danica spent much of her early years dividing her time between her parents ' house and her duties with her master . At some point during Danica ' s early teens , her parents were killed by a guild of assassins known as the Night Masks . As a result , Danica was primarily raised by her tutor from that point on . Though he knew the identity of her parents ' killers , the man did not tell Danica as he knew she would seek retribution . Several years passed and Danica continued to grow in strength and skill , eventually surpassing her master and becoming arguably one of the finest fighters in the region . At that point , her master informed her that he had nothing left to teach her , but suggested she travel to the Edificant Library to study directly from the texts of Penpahg D ' Ahn . As a parting gift , he gave her two enchanted crystal daggers , one with a hilt carved in the likeness of a tiger and the other that of a silver dragon . Time at Edificant Library . Following her master ' s advice , Danica traveled to Edificant Library , deep in the Snowflake Mountains . She quickly attracted the attention of two junior priests of Deneir , Cadderly Bonaduce and Kierkan Rufo . Though she politely ignored Rufo ' s advances , she quickly became attracted to Cadderly , being charmed by the young priest ' s good looks and innocent , boyish demeanor . She also became fast friends with the library ' s two dwarven cooks , Ivan and Pikel Bouldershoulder , as well as Headmistress Pertelope . Danica passed her time by studying the preserved texts of Penpahg D ' Ahn and wrestling with the resident priests of Oghma . Unfortunately , her undefeated status led to the Oghmans refusing to help her navigate the large library unless she beat them at wrestling , which she always did . Before long , Danica ' s relationship with Cadderly became the talk of the library . After a year at the Library , Danica was in the midst of a wrestling match with a priest of Oghma who refused to tell her the location of a particular scroll Danica had wanted to examine . After she easily defeated him , Danica happened upon Cadderly , who was trying to recreate a drow hand crossbow . The couple snuck into a corner and began to kiss intimately . After Cadderly childishly groped her breast , Danica immobilized his arm with a technique she called Withering Touch , and was more annoyed that he was more interested in learning the technique . She further explained that she was in the process of researching one of Penpahg D ' Ahn ' s highest techniques ; the Iron Skull , the ability to smash a large slab of stone using only the forehead . Cadderly expressed concern , but Danica stubbornly held her course and demonstrated her mastery over her body by using only her finger to hold her upright on a table top . The Chaos Curse . Shortly thereafter , Cadderly inadvertently released the Chaos Curse into the Library . Danica was among those infected by the noxious gas and as such began to relentlessly pursue her desires without her inhibitions to hold her in check . Rufo , also under the influence of the curse , made another pass at her , but Danica casually beat him bloody . Cadderly later found Danica in her room where she somehow managed to appropriate a boulder and was attempting to master the Iron Skull . After some difficulty , where Danica attempted to force Cadderly into making love , he managed to convince the young monk to hold off on breaking the boulder . When Cadderly returned to check on her again he found her unconscious with her blood dripping from her forehead and staining the stone . With the help of the druid Newander , Cadderly eased Danica into her bed and had the druid restrain the young monk with vines to prevent her from trying the stone again . While comatose , Danica was able to resist the effects of the chaos curse by visualizing it as a noxious mist . Temporarily in control , Danica , along with Newander , followed Cadderly down into the cellar to stop the effects of the curse . Along the way , the pair ran into a group of zombie s , which Danica had little trouble dispatching . They also found Percival , Cadderly ' s white squirrel friend , who was able to lead them to Cadderly . Following Percival , Danica came across Pikel who had been severely poisoned by the imp Druzil . After Newander neutralized the poison in Pikel ' s body , Danica used her knowledge of the body to revive the Dwarf . Continuing onward , they found Cadderly in a losing battle against the evil priest Barjin and his undead bodyguards . Leaving the Bouldershoulder brothers to deal with the mummy , Danica and Newander fought Barjin . Despite putting up a good fight , and the druid transforming into a wolf , they were hopelessly overmatched . Eventually , Cadderly was able to kill the evil priest and save the Library from the chaos curse , although Newander was killed in the struggle . Following the defeat of Barjin , Cadderly was proclaimed a hero , though the thought of having killed another sentient being left him confused and despondent . Danica did her best to support him and give him the space he needed to come to terms with his lost innocence . A few weeks afterward , Danica finally felt confident enough to try the Iron Skull once again , having reached the required level of spiritual mastery to do so . She successfully shattered a solid slab of stone in a live demonstration and was named the highest ranking disciple of Penpahg D ' Ahn . One of the spectators was Elbereth , the elven prince of Shilmista , who became quite taken with the beautiful monk . Elbereth invited Danica to return to Shilmista Forest to investigate the unusual orc activity . Danica only agreed once she learned that Cadderly and the Bouldershoulder brothers would be going as well . War in Shilmista Forest . En route to Shilmista , Danica watched the verbal sparring between Cadderly and Elbereth . Annoyed at times by the elf prince ' s disparaging remarks , she nonetheless trusted Cadderly to hold his temper in check . The group came upon a squad of ogrillon in the employ of Castle Trinity . Danica took a major role in ensuing battle , personally killing several of the monsters . Cadderly and Elbereth once again got into an argument when the elf prince killed the lone surviving ogrillon , despite Cadderly ' s protests . Though she sympathized with Cadderly ' s emotional turmoil , Danica agreed with Elbereth ' s assertion that it was necessary . Cadderly had left the war to find his own answers , and Danica quickly came after him . After a series of battles with the Night Masks , she joined him in seeking out Castle Trinity , source of the evil chaos curse . Facing magical monsters , the red dragon Fyrentennimarr , and the soldiers of the castle , Danica accompanied Cadderly up until his confrontation with his father , Aballister Bonaduce . Returning to the Edificant Library , Danica found it under the control of Kierkan Rufo , who had become a vampire by ingesting the liquid form of the chaos curse . Beaten by Rufo and his undead horde , she was taken prisoner . Rufo attempted to turn her into his queen , but she was able to escape his thirst for blood by employing the ultimate technique of Penpahg D ' Ahn : suspended animation . Sadly , Danica was then forced to watch for five years as Cadderly gave up his own life force to construct the Spirit Soaring cathedral , making him an old man . Her only comfort was that she conceived and bore fraternal twins , her son Temerle and daughter Hanalesia , during this time . Another bright side was that as time went on , she became pregnant again as Cadderly began growing younger again , and bore a third child , her second son Rorick . Catti - brie found a kindred spirit in Danica when she and Drizzt Do ' Urden came to the Spirit Soaring in search of Cadderly , needing his power to commune with the demon Errtu . The two talked , and became quite friendly before Catti - brie was forced to leave . Still later , she accompanied Cadderly on his quest to destroy Crenshinibon . She found a natural antithesis in the form of Artemis Entreri , who was in the company of Jarlaxle Baenre . After a grueling battle against both the red dragon Hephaestus and the drow band Bregan D ' aerthe , they succeeded , but shortly thereafter parted ways .
