Daniel Day

Daniel Day is the fifteenth Star Child, currently the third-youngest. He was born from the landing of a star of nature, and carries the ability to be conscious within a dream, which lets him fight enemies that others can't reach.
==Appearance==
As a Star Child, Daniel appears to be a small, skinny eleven-year-old boy with forest-green eyes and pale blond hair. He wears simple clothing most of the time, with his most common outfit consisting of a pale blue shirt, bluish-purple trousers, a blue cardigan and slightly pointed greyish-blue shoes.
==Personality==
Daniel is very quiet, calculating and reserved, often preferring to spend time alone and indoors. He generally doesn't mind the company of close friends, however, with which he tends to either do the same thing as or quietly watch from a distance. He is made angry fairly easily, though his anger is never strong and does not show on the surface due to his quietness.
==Abilities==
Daniel is powerless in the land of the awake, though like with all Star Children he can remain sentient while he is dreaming, giving him full access to the dream world.
Daniel's unique ability is being able to manipulate nature. He can make plants grow from nothing, attacking with thorns, roots and sharp-bladed petals, with the plants withering soon after. He tends to favour hiding out of sight and attacking enemies from a distance.
==Story==
Daniel's star landed outside a hospital, where he was found within the hour by Dr. Samuel Day and taken in as his adoptive son. He was given the name “Daniel” by Sienna Celestia, who named him after a relative of hers who had turned eleven years old a few days ago. Daniel lived inside a room in the hospital due to Dr. Day not having any spare room in his house.
In his earliest years he was studied extensively to help further the research on the Star Children, though before long he started being angry at the hospital staff, including his adoptive father, for the way he treated him. As such they had to take a different direction, especially after realising that they couldn't learn anything about the dream world this way. Dr. Day would, from then on, ask his son questions about what he saw and did in his dreams every morning, which he was generally content to answer. These answers are said to have been “invaluable” in creating a complete study on the nature of dreams.
At around twenty-three years, Daniel became interested in a job at the hospital. As his studies of medicine were very limited at the time, he is currently working as a porter, though he plans to try for a medical degree at university so he can try for a different job.
==Relationships==
===Jamie Ayliffe===
Daniel and Jamie started off roughly due to Jamie not respecting his boundaries, though they steadily began to get to know each other and become close friends. Their relationship is a very quiet one, as they generally read or play on consoles together without saying a word.
===Ben Nolan===
Daniel and Ben are close due to having known each other for a long time. However, they struggled at first due to their heavily contrasting personalities and interests. They have become much more accepting of each other over time, with Daniel often watching Ben when he plays sports and loaning him some of his books in return.
==Trivia==
*Daniel is capable of reading extremely quickly, at over 600 words per minute (the average is 200-250 words per minute), though he prefers slow reading as it lets him take in what the words have to offer.
*Daniel has a history of exaggerating what he says. For example, he claims that he owns an entire library of books - his “library” is an actual library near to the hospital he lives in, and he never borrows more than four books at a time.
*Daniel owns a games console in his hospital dorm, though he doesn't have any games for it, often asking friends to bring games of their own.
