===Powers and abilities===
D.A. owns a pair of magical blue slippers, which were made of her birthstone, the sapphire. These slippers were given to her by Max, who stole them from a shop in Mobius sometime prior to the events of "Enchanted Underground". He felt guilty of stealing the shoes, and thought he could give them away to someone who might want them. D.A., who never quite had enough money to buy fancy shoes, immediately accepted Max's offer. Max told her that the slippers hold several mysterious powers inside them. Despite the slippers being made from sapphire, they are very flexible, comfortable, and easy to move in. They can never wear out and are accustomed to alter their size by shrinking or stretching to perfectly fit the current owner at the time they wear them.
