The Mafia Series/Dani

**Survival %** | 27% (4/15)

**Dani** is a player from **The Mafia Series** and **The Traitors**.

One of the more notable players on the server, Dani played in almost all generation one games, a few in generation two, as well as hosting a couple. Because of this, Dani has experiences in both the town, and as the mafia. Despite not having the best survival rate, Dani has also proven to be a rather chaotic player at times, making bold moves, such as finding out her friend, Onyx, was the maniac, covering for them by accusing Meli of having said role, and then turning the town against Ella in Mafia: All-Stars. Breaking the rules in Mafia: Broken Mirror to save her reflection, Cam. And then again, by publicly claiming to be the Maniac, despite only being a detective, being voted out, and returning in Mafia: Phoenix's Fire. When she is not causing chaos, Dani has also proven to be a strong social and well rounded player in games such as Mafia: Witches' Coven and Mafia: Mission Emaciation, where she fought for the town, and especially Mafia: Back to Bonereach, showcasing an extremely dominant mafia win with her accomplice, David. Dani has also been a part of historic events, such as playing in the very first game, being a member of the very first allia**nce** in Mafia: Bonereach, being the first evil role caught by the sheriff which resulted in the role receiving a nerf, and being the first mafia to suicide and be healed in order to confirm themself, a strategy that has been used many times since.

# ***Bonereach***

In Mafia: Bonereach, despite being a commoner and dying relatively early, Dani was one of the bigger players. She first talked to Nemo and learned he was the jester. Together, they created an alliance with Eevee, who claimed he was the judge. The three of them then established a target in Life, as they figured out he was a main role. With help from Nat, they managed to eliminate him. However, this didn't work out as he had been the sheriff all along. Eevee then killed Dani to eliminate all suspicion on him by strategically killing an ally.

# ***Oxmesa***

In Mafia: Oxmesa, Dani was given the mafia card. She re-joined her alliance from the previous game with Eevee, and Nemo. The latter of the two was excited to try out the new psychic role, but seeing him as a threat, Dani killed him first. Suspicion then fell onto Meli, who was eliminated, and it got out that Sam was the Sheriff. As this was the old version of the role, Dani did not want to be caught as mafia, so she killed him. However, Eevee had already asked Sam to investigate Dani, so it spread that she was mafia very quickly. She was then eliminated in a unanimous vote.

# ***Fairrange***

Despite not being to influence the game majorly, due to her commoner card, Dani influenced Mafia: Fairrange in other ways, by trying to position herself with information and forming relationships with everybody. The people she grew closest to were Eevee and Uke. However, they were the first two to be eliminated, leaving Dani to fend for herself. Luckily, a twist allowed one of them to return through a voting process. Dani voted for Uke to return, feeling closer to him than Eevee. Once Uke returned, Dani and Uke formed an almost unbreakable duo. Together, they agreed that through a series of mannerisms and wierdly worded messages, Life was the most likely mafia. They convinced the town to vote him out, only for him to reveal that he was the Jester. Dani was killed the next day, after Life messaged her (a now memorable quote), saying, "Hah take that." However, this would come back to hurt him, as there was a tie at the next vote. With the judge already being eliminated, the decision on who to eliminate fell onto Dani. Because of what Life had said, along with previous suspicion Dani and Uke had on him, Dani cast her sole vote for him. She chose correctly, winning the game for the town.

# ***Whisper Ridge***

In a game quiet on strategy overall, Mafia: Whisper Ridge started slow for everybody, including Dani. While she talked to a few people and was able to somewhat strategise, it wasn't until the end game where the pace began to speed up. Dani worked closely with Aster and they were able to expose Ella as the mafia. Once Aster died, Dani talked to rookies Onyx and Nic, convincing them to vote Ella out, winning the game for the town.

# ***Shalhollow***

For Dani, Mafia: Shalhollow was a game filled with correct reads, yet frustration. The game began with many townies active. Ella had brought forward her claim of psychic, which conflicted with Brainz's claim of the same role. Every single townsperson had believed Brainz, and had immediately resorted to Ella being mafia or accomplice. However, Dani, along with her close ally, Eevee, was able to correctly read Ella as the true psychic. She then went to work convincing the town to vote off Brainz, and this movement began gaining support. However, Dani then began to catch on to who the true head mafia was, with that being Meuh. Nobody believed her when Dani threw out Meuh as a suspect, despite her being correct. After more and more pushing against them, Meuh remained with no townspeople wanting to vote them out. Now becoming fed up with the stubbornness of her follow townies, Dani created a group chat with Brainz and Meuh, who she correctly pinned as the evils. Dani pledged her loyalty to them, saying that she would give the win to them because the town did not listen to her correct reads. However, the movement to vote Brainz out that she started had gained too much momentum, and the accomplice was executed. After another cycle of nobody listening to Dani and instead voting for a town member, a blitz kill occurred. Meuh, the mafia, was wary of Dani knowing the identity of the mafia team, and killed her. This revealed her as a villager, so Meuh gained suspicion after Dani's death which lead to the downfall of the mafia.

# ***Phoenix's Fire***

Mafia: Phoenix's Fire was a chaotic game filled with memorable moments and messy gameplay for Dani. The game began with Dani being offline from Discord for almost the first two days. which meant nobody knew her role. Aster, however, recieved Dani's role claim of jester over Instagram and relayed it back to the town. Shortly after she returned to Discord, Aster was voted out and took Dani's card, as Aster was also the jester. This caused a jester chain, forcing Dani to also claim another card. Dani chose Tay's and was now the detective. At this point, the game had already been chaotic for Dani, so she decided to lean into the chaos even further simply for the fun of it. When the town wanted Dani to search Harp's card to confirm Aster, Dani was privately told by the hosts that she could not. However, Dani lied and told everybody that Harp was the mafia, throwing Aster under the bus. This made everything extremely hectic, with suspicion being placed on both Dani and Aster. After the next kill, Dani then went back on her detective claim, and publicly said that she was the maniac. She said she would check alignments of players to help them, in exchange for being healed. Not trusting a supposed third party member, Dani was voted out near unanimously instead. However, the chaos was far from over. As a part of the Phoenix's Fire twist, Dani returned with the Ashen role, being cursed to *only* talk in the town chat and losing her vote. She returned to the town which caused many people to freak out, which later won the Best Moment award. Dani was coined as unkillable, and snarkily bragging about how she had not yet been eliminated for good, after surviving two times where she ordinarily would have been. To cause more chaos, she lied about having a secondary role called "The Phoenix", which never existed, and publicly discussed who she would drag as the "maniac". The chaos then came to an end when she was voted out due to people still being extremely wary of her maniac claim.

# ***Back to Bonereach***

Dani returned in Mafia: Back to Bonereach as one of the few players to have played in the original Bonereach season. She was very excited when seeing she had the mafia card, a role she had not played in twenty seasons. She claimed to be the monarch with David, while in reality, he was her accomplice. She quickly formed an alliance with Havoc, and more importantly, Piper, who was the healer. This information proved useful when Dani convinced Piper to heal her (something Piper would continually do throughout the rest of the game), and then killed herself knowing she was being healed, making her the first person in Mafia history to do this. The move removed all suspicion off of her, setting her up well. At the trial, she was then asked to block the votes against somebody with her supposed monarch powers to prove herself, but Dani skillfully maneuvered around the situation, convincing everybody that she *did* use her power, and Havoc instead messed up the vote count. Dani voted for herself and acted inactive to make this lie more believable. Similarly to when she killed herself the cycle prior, Dani then killed Havoc when he was being healed knowing she would gain Piper's complete trust. From there, Dani managed to deceive everybody and cruise along with David. She was never ordered to use her monarch powers again, as everybody believed she had already used it once. Entering the endgame, Dani and David seemed in the power position, their only threats being Piper and Meli. In order to confirm Dani's monarch claim once more, Meli was throwing a vote onto Piper for her to block, while still intending to eliminate the town's target, Chai. However, Dani and David took Chai under their wing, utilised Meli's rogue vote, and eliminated Piper. Following this game-winning blindside, Dani publicly unveiled herself as the mafia in the game announcements channel, and revealed herself that she was killing Meli. Now, Dani and David had the majority of the votes and were able to win in one of the most dominant and impressive mafia showings.

# ***Hidden Figures II***

After over a year-long break from playing mafia, Dani returned in Mafia: Hidden Figures II under the alias 'Sunstorm'. While playing under this name, Dani spoke in a very formal and proper manner, with little use of emojis. This is a large contrast from the way she usually talks, and helped to keep her true identity hidden. In the game, Dani was excited to play the jester, finding it to be an interesting role. She talked to many people, but remained largely under the radar. She then slowly began to gain influence, being added to a large alliance, as well as being the only person to know who the herbalist was, as Henry had revealed that information to her. Dani's game then took a turning point when she purposefully tried to get voted out in order to use her jester ability. She told the town that she knew who the herbalist was, but was not going to tell them their identity. The maniac, SamB, then used his mass hysteria power against her, and Dani was prompted to take the card of another. Wanting to become an evil role, she took Life's card, suspecting he was a member of the mafia and noticing that he was in a good position within the town. Dani chose correctly and became the corrupted mayor. From then, Dani worked well with the other mafia members and managed to avoid being voted out. Just when it looked like the mafia were going to win in a dominant victory, the last remaining town members had unfortunately managed to amass many extra votes due to the hidden figures twist and used them to vote out the mafia members during the live finale, causing Dani to lose the game in an unlucky finish.

# ***All Stars IV***

Dani returned in the fourth all star game and was placed on Slumberchasm. Never having played as part of the third or fourth parties, she was excited to see her role as Fifer, looking forward to having a unique experience playing mafia. She first enchanted Lego, noticing he was in a good position in the game and predicting he wouldn't be eliminated for a while. Slumberchasm was rather quiet on claims initally, leading Dani to keep her role hidden despite being an active presence in the game. She announced that, like a few other players, she would keep her role hidden until after the first night. This was in order to see what others were claiming, allowing her to find a fake claim that would suit best (Although she did privately claim she was the Ambassador to Slay, lying that she wanted to keep her role hidden until after the first round to use her "power"). However, this lead the mafia to think that Dani was hiding a powerful role, tragically killing her first. This marks the first time in Dani's fourteen game long career that she was the first eliminated.

# ***Mission Emaciation***

Dani played a very well-rounded game in Mafia: Mission Emaciation, essentially playing the game as an unconfirmable (as she never gathered any extra votes as the warden), she was yet able to get people to trust her, even when they probably shouldn't have. Almost immediately, there was a lot of action as the game began. Dani was very loud in the town, especially when voicing her distrust of Sam. Dani pushed hard against him multiple times and spoke negatively about him, which only made it more shocking when they paired up to become a duo. Once Bernkastel died, Dani and Sam took over the town, having control over the votes and being very influential. Dani was able to branch out to form relationships with nearly everyone, as well as becoming a hotspot for information. She knew about people's advantages, who they were using their actions on, which way people voted, and the many many theories people came to her with. Dani was even saved from a kill once Zheema (one of Dani's closest allies), gave her the ghost role. As the town started turning on their own, Dani stopped and was able to deduce that Tommy was the corrupted potter, and more importantly, that Chloe has been playing them all, and that she was the mafia. Sam, who was the jester and believed he had a guaranteed win, told Dani that he was going to side with Chloe, vote for Luna, and hand the mafia the win, simply because he felt they deserved it, and was fed up with the plethora of inactive townies. Dani then went to work sending paragraphs to try and convince Sam to vote with her, and also gathered townies Luna and Kae to vote for Chloe. An hour before the vote, Dani exposed an advantage that Kae had that effectively gave them an extra vote, cornering Sam into voting with her. Dani was then able to directly cause the downfall of the mafia, winning the game for the town and being named the player of the season.

# ***The Traitors***

Dani was one of the twenty players in the spin-off game, *The Traitors*! As a member of the **faithful**, she was the eighth and final player to be banished during a normal roundtable, receiving 4 out of 6 votes. She was eliminated directly before the live finale. She was the winner of the most entertaining award and was nominated for the hero of the season, best duo (with Hades), and social legend awards.

Dani entered The Traitors and immediately started playing hard. She formed connections with nearly everybody, but aligning specifically with Ella and Chloe. Dani quickly formed her suspicions and shared them with those she trusted, but took a more observant approach to the first roundtable. When the vote was looking like Andrew, Dani correctly read that he was a faithful and tried to save him. Andrew, however, admitted to Dani that he thought she was a traitor, so Dani then voted for him herself. Dani's game took a turning point during the second challenge, where she performed poorly. This lead to Hades spreading that he thought she was a traitor, and this suspicion stuck with her for the rest of the game. Despite this suspicion and new rivalry with Hades, Dani's strong social bonds allowed her to remain in the game and survive many more roundtables. After Eternal was revealed to be a faithful, Dani started to look to her former ally, Ella, as a traitor. Realising that Ella had a strong grip on the game, Dani brought this suspicion to her rival, Hades. Together they pushed against her at the next roundtable. Ultimately, they were unsuccessful in banishing her despite their skepticisms being correct, as she had been recruited a round prior. Nobody was willing to view Ella as a traitor, so the votes turned back on Dani and Hades. The latter turned on Dani once more, Dani stuck to her intuition, and the others ultimately banished Hades. Just before the live finale, Dani fought hard to get people on her side and convince them Ella was a traitor. In an intense roundtable, she seemed to be making progress. Although, again, nobody was wanting to vote for Ella, so Dani went after the person most firmly on her side: Chloe. Dani couldn't escape the suspicion that had been placed on her since the second challenge, and Dani was banished, placing fifth.

# ***The Shed***

Playing hand in hand with her monarch partner, Hades, Dani got off to a good start in her first speed, The Shed. She initially faked claimed Joker and said to be following Hades, who was claiming Potter, in order to hide their true roles. During the first voting round, Dani pushed against December, distrusting her and believing her to be a member of the mafia. When this didn't work, she eventually went along with the majority vote. However, things took a turn next vote when Kira told her that she was the healer. Being unclaimed to everybody else, she naturally began gaining votes. Dani encouraged this, but secretly had other intentions. She and Hades planned to block votes against Kira, all while Dani was getting a few people to vote for December to finally get her out. This worked perfectly, and eight votes were blocked against Kira, while four sent home December, who she correctly read as mafia-aligned. Unfortunately after this game changing move, Dani was killed randomly when the hunter intercepted the mafia's kill.
