Appearance
Danielle has golden brown hair that is at a pretty decent length due to her not being able to afford a haircut. While she can't get it taken care of, she manages to keep it tidy with a hairbrush and ponytail that she brought from home before she went on the run. She has dark brown eyes and she has dimples when she smiles.
Personality
Regardless of how she's grown up, Danielle has one of the purest, sweetest girls anyone will have ever met. She doesn't let her situation get her down. She is very street smart because she had to be. Being on the run, and traveling cross country, has made her smart and remain aware of her surroundings. But it's not to say that it has come easily for her. She's gotten taken advantage of many times which only adds to her shell.
Background
Danielle grew up with her parents in Massachusetts and the moment she turned 15, she ran away from home. For two years she spent her time hopping from house to house, staying with friends in their basement or in their backyard if needed. Just before she turned 17, Danielle decided to leave the state all together. She found herself on the run, hitchhiking her way down to New York City. She knew that there were plenty of places to camp out in the city and she figured that would be best to lay low until she turned of age in 2 years.
While she was hitchhiking to New York, Danielle ran into some sketchy people. She often found herself hitching rides with truck drivers who weren't always the most kind hearted people. One of the drivers took advantage of her before disposing of her on the side of the road. It was about 2 drivers later when she found one who was decent enough to protect her. He gave her a ride all the way into the city which she was thankful for. Before they parted ways, he gave her a wad of cash to help her get by until she was able to get somewhere stable.
For the next few months, Danielle would sleep out in the woods, in a tent that she had found along the way. If it was bad weather, she would find the local shelter to stay in, if they had a bed. If they didn't have a bed, she would often sleep in the hallways. She also frequented the shelter in order to get something to eat on a daily basis so she didn't have to dig through trash or beg for food. She didn't want to use the cash she had because she wanted to save that for when she absolutely needed it.
One thing that does keep her coming back to the shelter, as well, is a particular volunteer who volunteers weekly. Whenever he's there, somehow, it makes her spirits brighten. If she sees that he's not there, then she often won't stop in and she'll resort to begging for food.
