Personality

Dani, though a child of Rome, isn’t your typical soldier. For one thing, Dani is a terrible fighter and not one too rely on in a fight, especially considering she can feel sick at the sight of blood. Dani’s strength lies in morale. A child of hope, Dani is optimistic- sickeningly optimistic. Even in the most negative situations, Dani will be trying to keep everyone’s spirits up. Dani believes everyone has some good in them and has the ability to change. However, she isn’t a pushover. She’ll give you a second chance but she won’t give you a third. Dani is firm and has low level tolerance for those who tries to pull one over her. Though Dani wants to be respected, she doesn’t want people to be scared of her. To most people, she’s approachable and kind, always willing to help those in need. Affectionate, Dani likes to shower those she cares about with praise and love-but only where it’s due. She won’t say they’re great at music if they’re tone deaf. But Dani is good at spying out peoples strengths and talent. However, she isn’t afraid to call people out when she believes something is wrong. Dani is very willing to stand up for those when she believes it right; regardless of what the people around her believe.

One weakness of Dani is that she’s claustrophobic. She can’t stand small spaces and often needs someone to hold her hand through it all. Usually, Dani avoids it at all costs. Dani adores the open air and loves Pegasus for the simple reason that she can soar through the open sky. This helps when her job is to judge the war games. Dani is fair and doesn’t let bias cloud her judgement. Another flaw, though, is that she has no sense of direction. It’s a miracle she managed to get to camp Jupiter-though it was probably because of her brother that she managed. Furthermore, she’s a terrible cook but cooks anyway. She once killed a dog because she fed it one of her poisonous concoctions. Dani is very good at making coffee, though. Dani practically survives on the substance. Because of this, she can tend to be rather energetic and hates to spend her life sitting down. Dani's hobbies include glass blowing and sculpture. Her great uncle, who died when she was young, introduced her to this type of art and picked it up when she was initiated into Camp Jupiter. Dani finds glass really pretty and has different pieces in her room. Some she made, some she bought. However, Dani doesn't really own much and that's really the most personal thing she has in her room. If Dani buys something, she's more likely to give it away than keep it. Dani's also very good at organisation, though, and knows where everything and anything is.

Dani struggles, though, with the idea of people not liking her. Though she had to go through it for years. People treating her with suspicion, resentment, Dani still isn't use too it. In fact, it made her tendency to go to great lengths to make people like her deepen. Dani is the type to spend ten hours working on this one thing to make another person happy. If people ask her for a favour, she'll go above and beyond to complete it. Of course, she isn't a push over and does know when she's being taken advantage of.

History

Dani's story started when her father, Barry Stevens, met Spes. It was a few months after his fling with Mercury but he was still living under his blissful life without two loud children. Barry was a sports therapist for professional athletes and it was through this profession that he met his baby mother and father. Whilst Mercury feigned being an injured athlete, declaring a body part wasn't working and Barry needed to heal it, Spes was a coworker. Whilst Mercury was attracted to Barry for his love of sports, Spes was attracted to Barry's optimism and determination to help people. Both were simple flings and Barry never thought too much of it. Mercury declared his body fine and disappeared into the winds whilst Spes supposedly found some other work in Alaska. So, in Barry's mind anyway, both were out of his life in less than a week. However, his career wasn't the only thing that attracted to the two Roman deities. You see, Barry was a legacy but a Greek one, having descended from Hermes. Barry was aware of his heritage and knew of the world around him, especially considering he retained the ability too see through the mist. Of course, he wasn't aware of the real identities of those who he was sleeping with. If he did, he might have been more wary of sleeping with Hermes Roman counterpart. Not that he regretted either night, though.

Dani arrived at Barry's door a few months Eddie with a note explaining who she was to Barry. In the space of four months, Barry had his hands on two demigod children. Luckily for him, he had a large family to help take care of them. Dani was named Daniela after a few weeks. Barry couldn't decide what to call her. It was her grandma that chose the name, naming her after her own mother. Thus, Daniela Stevens was introduced to the world. Her childhood was happy. Mostly. Dani was adored by her father and extended family. However, her and Eddie's relationship was almost nonexistent and were constantly at each other's throats. A sibling rivalry, of sorts. Dani was snippy with him, constantly criticizing him for everything he does. Though Barry tried to mediate them, have them get along, it almost always failed. They grew up in Washington in a middle class suburb. Though they weren't rich, they had enough that they were happy in life.

However, this changed when they were ten years old. Seeing as both were demigods and their father a legacy, they were easily tracked down by monsters. This wasn't the first time, though. At least for Dani. She was attacked when she was seven years old but her father had stepped in just in time too kill it before the monster had truly hurt Dani (it was just a fire horse, nothing special). This time, though, the monster managed to kill their father and brutally injuring Dani. Enough that it sent her into a three week long coma. Edward was in the incident but managed to drag Dani out of the house, helping them escape. The house had caught on fire by then, collapsing on the monster, killing it. During the three weeks that Dani was in a coma, with little hope of survival, Eddie dealt with the aftermath. Barry's funeral, the families reaction. Which wasn't good. The police decided that it was the fire that killed their father and it was believed Eddie had started it, causing the family to reject him, kicking him out onto the streets.

When Dani woke up, it didn't take long for her to realise what had happened. Now, even though she had never gotten along with Eddie–she didn't want him to starve on the streets. And she knew, she *knew*, he wasn't the one too blame and no one would believe her when she said it. So she ran away. If they refused to let Eddie back into her life, then she would leave theirs. It didn't take long too find her brother, hanging out on the street. And so, for the next five months, they were homeless. They survived only through their wits. Stealing fruit from stalls, stealing bottles of water, using one moth eaten blanket to keep them warm during the night as their ripped clothing provided little warmth. It was tough. Often, both had black eyes from when they ran into trouble with other homeless kids. However, they pushed through. Eventually, though, just when they turned eleven, they were found by the wolves and taken to the Wolf house.

The wolves kept them in their pack for six months exactly. During that time, they trained and trained, helping each other push through it all, covering the other's weaknesses with their own strengths and vice versa. They balanced each other and it was clear from the beginning. Long gone were the days where they couldn't get along. Now they knew what the other felt from one simple glance. It also became clear that Dani wasn't much of a fighter–but she was smart and that made up for it. She could kill a monster through simple brains rather than brawn. Eventually, Lupa sent the twins on their way too Camp Jupiter. On their journey, they ran into an old soldier from the Twelfth legion, saving him from a monster attack. In return, the soldier gave them a letter of recommendation. It was this that gained them access into the camp a month afterwards.

There was one issue with this letter. The soldier wasn't exactly popular in Camp Jupiter. Thus, though it got them accepted into the legion, with Dani being vouched for by fifth cohort, they were never popular. They were, in short, the social rejects of the legion and were pushed around frequently by the other people in the camp. It was through perseverance and determination that Dani eventually got her respect from the legion, as did Eddie. When she was seventeen she was promoted to queastor. Then, of course, the war began and afterwards-the legion decided to promote her too praetor when the war concluded due to her achievements throughout it.
