| Overview

xxxxxA paramedic, Danielle seems to be someone who feels a permanent need to work out. Or at least, that's what the overly developed muscles of her arms and shoulders say. Quick to act and quick to think, she seems to have a restless, jittery sort of energy. She has only been in town a few months but has managed to slide into the culture of emergency service workers with ease, fitting in with the predominantly male culture there without blinking. She's quick to anger but also quick to smile and forgive, drives the ambulance with a steady, calm hand, and knows her stuff when it comes to triage. She also enjoys working out and sparring and doesn't ever seem to mind helping out someone who has questions--if they can bring themselves to ask, that is. She can sometimes be found at a few of the more blue collar of the city bars, though not as often as when she first came to town. She -can- be found at work, a lot. So if you see an ambulance in town, there's a pretty good chance you may see Danielle.
xxxxxShe has made an effort to get to know her fellow Lost. She has pledged to the Dragon's Knell and is their Warleader. She is strongly tied to the Summer Court and her mantle is evident most of the time, sometimes very intensely.

xxxxxThe only thing that is remarkable about this young woman is the amount of muscle that bands her arms and shoulders, visible beneath anything but the most bulky of coat or sweater. She has spent a great deal of time in the gym but less in the salon--she has a badly done dye-job on her hair, dark roots having grown out too far while the brassy blonde hair falls below her shoulders now. Her features are just a bit too much--her nose slightly too big, her jaw slightly too square. Her eyes are a watery blue and often squint behind a pair of thin glasses. What saves her is her smile--quick and lively and hinting at someone who isn't afraid to laugh, it lights up her face and smooths mismatched features. This one is not pretty but her smile is.
xxxxxAt five foot six, she isn't especially tall and her muscles make her seem more bulky than anything else, though she lacks any particular fat. She has a certain grace in her movements but it comes from confidence in knowing her job and how her body moves, not from beauty of movement. If on duty, she wears a paramedics uniform, her various pieces of equipment stuffed into pockets or hung around her neck. If off duty, she's likely in a sturdy pair of workout pants, a t-shirt, light jacket, and sneakers, or some variation. On her left hand, she wears a pair of rings--a plain platinum band and a platinum-mounted fire opal solitaire.

xxxxxThis woman seems distilled down to bones and sinew and muscle, anything extra melted away beneath the burnished gold of her skin. Her hair is the heated orange of a smoldering fire, moving with flickering jumps and leaps to midback and, with every movement, hinting at feathers mixed in with the flames themselves, feathers made of fire and twisted amid the strands. Her eyes are unsettling, black with pupils of deep blue flames that shine with an almost electric intensity, inhuman and remote. There is something alien about her, her graceful movements less like something a human would do and more like a flame made flesh in the way she darts and moves in quick restless bursts, a birdlike edge to her motions. Adding to that unsettling otherness is the fact that her fingers have taken on an elongated nimbleness as of late, tipped with fiery talons in the right light. And when she moves her arms? Just for a moment, then, it looks as though she has sweeping wings of fire, hinted at before they disappear.
xxxxxShe usually wears workout clothes, jeans, or other items that allow easy movement, running, and fighting. Occasionally she will wear a pair of glasses though she usually has contacts. On her left hand, she wears a pair of rings--a plain platinum band and a platinum-mounted fire opal solitaire.
xxxxxIf one gets close enough, the mantle of Summer becomes easy to spot. The scent of summer-baked flowers and ground lingers in the air about her, with heat shimmers radiating from her head in a steady rippling halos and the sound of high Summer cicadas chirruping in the background. A steady searing Summer's heat fills the space around the woman, leaving one feeling dry and parched.

| Notable Things
|
- Summer Mantle •••••: Her mantle is obvious and seems to epitomize Summer, tending to be intense heat shimmers around her and the hot summer wind that smells of Summer flowers and seared earth. It can often radiate a palpable heat, leaving one feeling dry and parched.
- Court Goodwill Baswenaazhi •••: The Wen like Dani. Ask her why they call her 'Dame Danielle'!
- Court Goodwill Spring •: What warrior doesn't want to be friendly with the Court that has the healers?
- Court Goodwill Dawn •: Maybe one day...
- Fireheart: She has all the tendencies of her kith, from the quick restless movements to the (usually) quick wit. Also, she shouldn't burn things down around her. Probably.
- Chirurgeon: This is a somewhat new development, though not completely surprising given her mortal job.
- Windwing: Firebird. Phoenix. Whatever you want to call it? She -is- it.
- Mortal Stuff: Dani is a paramedic with strong mortal ties at her job. This can sometimes create an interesting dynamic.
