===Character===
Unlike Quillon, Danika is far more welcoming and friendly, encouraging Goh to give his best. However, she also has a subtle harsh streak to her, seen when she forced Goh and Horace to battle each other to determine the winner of the Sea Mauville Trial Mission. In battle, her most friendly posture is left aside in favor of calm confidence, even choosing several opponents for battle and disqualifying the Pokémon Hunters as soon as she arrived at the place.
