Danielle O'Hara

**Danielle O'Hara**, a covenant descendant of Nikignik, was a dreamer and is currently a resident in Scoutpost Two.

## Personality

Danielle is talkative, light-hearted, and bold. She often combats dangerous or upsetting situations with humorous remarks and, when needed, immense courage. Despite her oftentimes carefree or cheeky attitude, Danielle is extremely kind and caring; she feels a sense of responsibility to use her covenant in aiding her friends and keeping them safe.

## Description

Danielle is initially described in-dream as feminine and pretty with blond hair,  an appearance she's chosen since her transition where she no longer matches her twin brothers. However, after leaving her dreaming box, Danielle's found her real hair to be brown and slightly frizzy; she's since changed her dream appearance to match. Due to her immobility, Danielle either sits in a wheelchair or uses crutches.

Since meeting Nikignik, Danielle has started representing herself with eye motifs when possible, even dressing up as him for halloween, though at Scoutpost Two, she's regularly described wearing a yellow Scoutpost jacket with a few badges.

## History

### Early History

Danielle was born in Dreaming Box Andromeda as a triplet with two brothers and transitioned somewhere along the way. Growing up, she discovered her covenant which she did not understand yet but would use to leave the Prime Dream sometimes, dreaming instead of the outside world she so desperately wished to live in.

### Season 1

Danielle, once while having dinner, hears the out-of-dream scream of Valerie Maidstone, who's held captive in a nightmare. Danielle is timid in approaching Valerie but eventually works up the proper courage to talk with and console her, changing her nightmare to be more pleasant.

Some time after, Danielle comes across "Nik," a strange entity that offers to coach her through using her powers for a favor in return. She is wary of them but decides to help, and together, they disable an amplifier of the Botulus Corporation. Thereafter, Danielle attempts to use what Nick taught her in contacting Riot Maidstone.

### Season 2

Danielle continues to communicate with Riot through dream, now confidently leading her to Valerie's dreaming box and keeping her updated on other news, such as the appearance of "another Riot." In return, Danielle asks for Riot to save her along with Valerie. Right before, Riot's arrival at Box Andromeda, Danielle goes to make her silent goodbyes to her family, and when she finally uses her covenant to completely awaken from the Prime Dream, she is incredibly thrilled to see the real world but, due to her immobility, requires caregiving from Diggory Graves, who's also accidentally saved "Other Riot."

On their way back to Riot's home, they encounter the Count and get attacked by BotCo. Danielle is terrified of returning to her dreaming box and so is hidden away by Diggory. There, Danielle uses her covenant to reach out to the Stonemaids, who come to her aid. With the Stonemaids, Danielle infiltrates BotCo's Prime Dream and saves her friends, allowing everyone to reach Scoutpost Two destination safely.

### Season 3

When Cindy's expedition approaches, and along with it most of her friends' departures, Danielle decides to stay because she's just started her life out of the Prime Dream and as a means of communication between the Scoutpost and expedition team. This gives her a chance to form an intimate friendship with "Other Riot," now "Clementine," who's mostly responsible for Danielle's caregiving at this point.

Danielle's ability to communicate with Riot halts as soon as the expedition team enters the Northernmost Woods, which troubles Danielle greatly and leads her to reach out for Nik, who answers but doesn't have much better news to offer her.

## Known Abilities

* **Dreamomancy/Nocturnesis:** Danielle has covenant blood that originates from Nikignik, and has thus inherited his ability to manipulate her and others' dreams at will. However, if it's a closed network of dreams (such as the Prime Dream or Nikignik's broadcasts), she would have to be connected first in order to do that.

## Relationships

### Valerie Maidstone

Valerie is Danielle's friend, who she initially takes to consoling during her nightmares and then to planning the rescue of. Valerie takes a liking to Danielle and says that she reminds her of her daughter Riot. Since Riot's expedition, however, Danielle's become critical of Valerie because of her neglectful treatment towards Clementine.

### Nikignik

Nikignik is Danielle's mentor and the source of her covenant. Danielle finds the way Nikignik talks a little funny but respects and trusts their knowledge, reaching out to him when she is particularly stumped.

### Riot Maidstone

Riot is Danielle's friend. Danielle initially contacts Riot through dream as a means of saving Valerie, but their friendship develops and, being the only lucid dreamer around, Riot is who Danielle usually contacts for other matters thereafter.

### Diggory Graves

Diggory is Danielle's friend. They were her main caregiver and source of consolation during their trip from Box Andromeda to Scoutpost Two.

### Percy Reed

Percy Reed is Danielle's friend. When she first wakes up, Percy grooms Danielle's haggard appearance and consoles her.

### Clementine Maidstone

Clementine is Danielle's arguably closest friend. At first, seeing her as an imitation of Riot, Danielle acts quite hostile towards Clementine. But once given the chance, they easily relate to each other with their experiences at the Prime Dream. Their bond deepens when they're left together after the expedition team departs along with all their other friends. Danielle often comforts Clementine and looks out for her, while Clementine provides most of Danielle's caregiving needs.

### Cindy Lockheart

Cindy Lockheart is Danielle's savior during the BotCo attack on their way to Scoutpost Two. Danielle admires her and hopes to look like her when she's older.

### Amaryllis Ward

Amaryllis Ward is Danielle's great aunt and the most skilled covenant in their family tree.

### Laura Ward

Laura Ward is Danielle's grandmother. Laura is the most understanding member of Danielle's family and, as its only other living covenant, educates Danielle about their family's covenant history.

### Chancellor 'Chance' Ward

Chancellor 'Chance' Ward is Danielle's relative. She is his first cousin once removed.

### Brothers

Danielle's unnamed twin brothers spend most of their time dressed up as famous actors and characters in their apartment-sized treehouse. Danielle used to join in these activities, but not so much since transitioning and later becoming occupied with Valerie's captivity. Danielle cares about her brothers and finds their absence in her life unimaginable.

### Mother

Danielle's unnamed mother "had never come out quite right within the [Prime] dream," with a head that Danielle often describes as resembling a wasp. They don't seem to have the best relationship, as Danielle thinks her mother has resented her a little since her transition.

### Father

Danielle's unnamed father seems to be a stern man who spends a lot of his time in his office trying to write. Both he and his mother have had troubled perceptions of Danielle since her transition.
