  A first impression of Dani might be that her smile is infectious, that she's a happy person and someone you could be happy around. Her bubbly optimism could be a bit annoying to some personalities, but to the one who needs it, Dani is a perfect choice for a best friend. She's loyal and encouraging, she's a great listener. Still, Daniella has also been known to misread a situation, or miss the point completely. Her optimism often stops at her own issues, too. She can see the great possibility in someone else, and be blinded when it comes to herself. Her number one goal in life is to be a great mom one day, and her greatest fear is something coming in the way of that. She's great with kids, and loves the idea of working with them every day when she graduates.

History ||
  Dani's parents met in college at Florida State and married before either of them finished their degrees. When Eliza became pregnant only three months after their marriage, she dropped out of school to stay at home with Dani. Her father tried to continue school while also working enough to support his growing family. When he finally finished his degree, Dani was seven. Eliza announced a second pregnancy, and with that, her brother Jeremy entered the picture.
  The family left Florida, where Eliza's family was from, and moved to North Carolina, where Jeremy was raised. They lived a modest life with a good community of people around them. Dani was especially close to her mom growing up, and to Jeremy as he got older. She relished the role of big sister. When she was sixteen, Dani's best friend Cara discovered she was pregnant. This rocked Dani's world at that point. When Cara had the baby and the boyfriend ran off, Dani was right beside her helping. It only strengthened her natural love of children, seeing her best friend's son grow. Two years later, Dani graduated, but Cara was unable to. So when college came up, Dani realized she was going to have to go her own way for the first time. She decided on a whim to attend school in Copper Harbor after seeing photos of the campus and the town.
