**Princess Daisy** is a Dinohattanite female who was raised in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA. Before she had hatched, she was taken from Dinohattan to Brooklyn by her mother, where she grew up at St. Theresa's Cathedral never knowing who her parents were. She is also partially responsible for saving Earth and the Dinosaur Dimension from permanently merging and being ruled by the evil dictator King Koopa.

## Biography

### Hatching

Just before Daisy hatched, her mother, the queen of Dinohattan, smuggled Daisy (still in an egg) into the human dimension, leaving her egg (inside a metallic pod) at the steps. She inserted the meteorite piece into it and knocked frantically at the door before fleeing. An elderly nun opened the door as soon as she left and saw the pod, and took it inside.

Once inside, several nuns surrounded the pod, which now rested on an altar, as the Elderly nun removed the meteorite piece, which caused the pod to open and reveal an egg inside, which hatched, revealing the infant Daisy inside.

### Dinosaur Bone Dig

Twenty years later, Daisy, now a Paleontology became the crew-leader at a project alongside the East River. However, the dig site was being hounded by Anthony Scapelli, owner of the Scapelli Construction Company, which had been in the middle of a construction project on the site before the discovery of dinosaur bones forced him to step aside. Scapelli personally decided to visit the dig site in an attempt to settle his problem. Flanked by suited-goons, he demanded to speak with whoever is in charge. This turned out to be Daisy who hopped down from a ramp and asserted herself as "the boss." Unfazed by the girl, Scapelli sleazily eyed her body and threatened both her and the site if she doesn't end the digging soon. Worried, Daisy left another student in charge while she entered the city to call the university for more security.

### Phone call and meeting the Mario brothers

Meanwhile, Spike and Iggy, Koopa's bumbling henchmen, sitting in their car eating "dog" while discussing their failure to capture the right "girl", noticed Daisy crossing the street and decided that she's the girl they have failed to locate. They began to tail her, attempting to snatch her on the street only to be thwarted by their own stupidity. Daisy continued, unaware of the attempt on her life and arrives at a payphone currently being used by Luigi, who, stunned by her beauty, offered its use to her.

Unfortunately, Daisy soon found that the university cannot increase their security. Dismayed, she approached Luigi and his brother Mario to thank them for allowing her use of the phone. Mario, realizing his younger brother's infatuation with the girl, offered her a ride back to the dig site. Unsure of the offer, Daisy noticed Spike and Iggy watching her from their car and accepts the brothers' offer, believing them safer than the two men she suspected were Scapelli's goons. The three talked along the way and got to know each other enough for Daisy to accept a dinner invitation from Luigi for later that night.

### Dinner

During that dinner Daisy revealed to Mario, Luigi, and Daniella that she was abandoned at birth and that she never removes the meteorite piece she wears around her neck as it is all she has of her past. Luigi admitted that he also never knew his mother or father and was raised by his brother Mario, which prompted a shared gaze between the two and a moment of understanding. At Mario and Daniella's urging, Luigi offered to walk Daisy home following the meal.

### Walk home and dig site visit

During the walk home Luigi expressed embarrassment at his awkwardness. Daisy responded by explaining that she herself is embarrassed by her passion for dinosaurs, which she felt is an odd fascination to have. In the end, both are reassured by the others insecurity and smile. Daisy then offered to bring Luigi to the dig site to show him the fossils they have found.

The two raced to the dig site, entering the tunnel that leads to the fossil pit. There's no security guarding the place, which Daisy explained is the reason she was using the phone earlier. She also explained to him how the fossils came to be found and the trouble Scapelli had been giving her crew. Luigi asked whether Daisy finds the underground chamber creepy. She said, to the contrary, it feels strangely "comfortable" to her.

The two began to draw near for an intimate kiss, only to be interrupted by the sound of a nearby commotion followed by the sight of two of Scapelli's goons, Mike and Doug, running past them. The plumbing had been sabotaged in an attempt to flood the dig site and destroy the fossils. Daisy, aware that Luigi is a plumber, asked for his help.

### Fixing the leak and Daisy's abduction

After getting Mario, the two brothers began to repair the plumbing while Daisy looks on. As they're about to finish, Iggy and Spike appeared from behind, knocked them out and abducted Daisy. They pulled her into the subterranean depths of the tunnel, leading her to the gateway between their world and the human world. Mario and Luigi, once they regain consciousness, follow. Finally, they come to what appears to be a dead end. However, they could hear Daisy's voice calling out to them from a seemingly solid rock wall. To their amazement, Daisy's face then appeared through the rock wall as she struggled against Iggy and Spike. Luigi tried to grab her, but missed as she's pulled back and is left only with the meteorite piece worn around her neck.

### Dinohattan

Daisy was then pulled through the apathetic streets of Dinohattan before entering a cab. She was later being led into the holding cell where the four missing "Brooklyn Girls" were being held. It is there that she reunited with Daniella, who had been kidnapped only hours before. The presence of a familiar face comforted Daisy. She was then told by the Brooklyn Girls that they were kidnapped by someone known as "Koopa" who is seeking a princess. Daisy seems to suspect it is her, but says nothing. Later, Lena and Koopa were having a mud bath. After Iggy and Spike came in, Koopa decided to see Daisy and ordered Lena to do so. After going to the cell where Daisy is being held, Lena revealed that Daisy is in fact the Princess and revealed Daisy's past to her. Koopa also thinks that Daisy is the only one able to merge the dimensions and that is why the Brooklyn Girls have been kidnapped. While waiting for Koopa to meet her, Daisy met Yoshi, a dinosaur pet of Koopa. Despite her original fear of Yoshi, she slowly befriended the creature. Surprising her, Koopa came in and after confirming everything Lena said, Daisy attempted to escape before being captured by a Goomba.

### Saving the worlds

After Daisy was given food by a Goomba, Lena came in and tried to kill Daisy, but Yoshi pulled Lena back and Daisy escapes. While escaping, she ran into the Goomba from earlier and Spike and Iggy who were being dragged to their death. After igniting the Goomba, the trio escaped after Daisy extinguishes the Goomba. Spike and Iggy claimed they were two of her father's most loyal subjects and led her to Devo 4 where her father's fungal remains were. They then left Daisy alone to process this. Yoshi came in and Daisy pulled out the knife that Yoshi was stabbed by Lena with. After pulling the knife out, Yoshi motioned Daisy towards a communications device. Using this, she communicated with the Mario Bros. and revealed her location. Once the Bros. come in, she showed them her father and directed Mario to where Daniella and the other Brooklyn Girls were. As Luigi and Daisy chased after Mario, they got caught by Koopa. When Mario and the Brooklyn Girls crash out of a vent, this distracts Koopa enough for Daisy and Luigi to escape. After attacking Koopa, the Bros. made him drop the meteorite. Lena grabbed the meteorite piece and runs off. Luigi, Daisy, and the Brooklyn Girls proceeded to chase Lena. Lena successfully inserted the meteorite despite the desperate pleas of Daisy. The resulting energy blast from the meteorite killed Lena. Daisy directed the Brooklyn Girls to the other dimensions so they warn those there of incoming invasion. Luigi and Daisy stayed behind and successfully pulled out the meteorite piece. The extinguished Goomba from earlier gave the two De-Evolution Guns. Big Bertha then gave Luigi a pair of Thwomp Stompers. The brothers then defeated Koopa and all of Dinohattan celebrated the end of their dictator. When Mario and Luigi decided to leave, they asked Daisy if she will be coming with them. Daisy then stated she is going to stay here and spend time with her father.

### Three Weeks Later

A few weeks later, she came to the brothers' apartment and says she need their help with something. The three then go on another adventure.
