Everything on this page is simply extra information. If you'd prefer to be surprised about the more in-depth information about Danie for when we actually RP, then feel free to ignore everything below. None of it is considered need to know, but if you do happen to read it, please note that none of this is information that anybody should know in character unless they discover it in character.
Alignment
Neutral/Chaotic/Lawful Evil × She's in it for her own benefit, and has no quarrel doing some horrific things to get her way- unfortunately at times she's forced to bend into Lawful-Evil territory, but typically floats somewhere between Neutral and Chaotic Evil.
Fears
Dominance × Anyone dominant enough to slap the submission back into Danie is someone worth fearing, period. (in other words, getting her to submit is no easy feat and usually requires a combination of brute force and fear tactics or a high amount of respect)
Exposure × Anything she hides about herself is ammo for others if they were to uncover it. If ever it were to be brought to the surface and she was forced to accept it, especially to others? It's a scenario that deeply disgusts her.
Vanity × Yes, it's shallow. Yes, it's a very foolish thing to fear; but Danie is incredibly vain and thus the idea of losing her beauty is one that truly frightens her. In her mind, her looks are all she has going for her that keeps people around.
Intelligence
Brilliant × Danie's biggest downfall is being headstrong and letting her emotions get the better of her. However, when she's able to keep them in check, she's the coldest, most calculating force of nature you'll meet- but the way she acts, you'd never guess it.
Psychiatric Ailments
Narcissistic × a true narcissist- and proud of it.
Sadomasochistic × Giving and receiving pain would be her utmost pleasure...
Sociability
Dependent × She either wants nothing to do with you, or has an unsettling interest in you.
Outlook
Dark × Vile and sinister to the core; if it isn't broken and bleeding, it's boring.
Activity
High × She can't stand being cooped up in any one place by herself or for too long- parties and ritzy clubs are just where she likes to find her next victi-- mingle and enjoy herself...
Responsibility
Depends × Unless she's taking credit for a well executed torture/kill, don't expect a bit of it. Though sometimes she simply couldn't care less who knows what she's responsible for.
Tidiness
Neat Freak × Nearly OCD by definition when it's her own place, but she won't hesitate to trash someone else's. She loves proper organization.
Cleanliness
Extreme × Danie can't stand to be filthy, and although basks in being blood-soaked at times, will never stay that way for long. bathes at least once a day, though usually twice.
Emotional State
Harsh, Empty × she can sometimes be eerily "blank" at times, barren of any emotion, while others she is harshly critical, sarcastic and rude.
Generosity
Greedy × Unless there's something in it for her, don't expect any handouts. she's not the type to whine and beg when she wants something, either. She's the type who'll go out and find a way to get it herself, no matter the means.
Manners
Crude × Most often lacks manners, unless she deems you worthy of an inkling of respect... which is rare. Don't mistaken her refusal as inability, however.
Bravery
Bold × Just about everyone has heard the age old question of 'are they brave, or just plain stupid?' Danie usually takes it all the way to stupid. She often bites off far more than she can chew, and would have it no other way. She'd rather deal with the consequences than to let anyone think she's a coward.
Humor
At Your Expense × If the joke's on her, however... you'll regret it. -

Likes & Dislikes
Likes
Cash & Valuables × Danie is -very- vain and materialistic and thus, she enjoys the finer things in life and will accept no less.
Menthol Cigarettes × Hardly ever caught without a pack somewhere on her; these are her cigarettes of choice. Now that she's technically dead, she hardly has to worry about the effects of smoking on her, anyway.
Other People's Misfortune × Be it physical or mental anguish, Danie revels in it. She's a vicious, cold hearted woman almost 100% of the time, so you can bet if someone else is miserable, she's downright elated.
Painting × Perhaps the one thing people wouldn't expect of her, Danie is a brilliantly talented artist, especially in the ways of painting. Though her subject matter is almost always dark and brooding, there's no doubt that she has some amazing talent. She's not very keen on letting people see that side of her, though. Despite this, some of her pieces can be found in local art museums, under an alias.
Blood × Most people might assume her a Vampire, be it by looks or adoration for blood alone. Often using it as the paint for her canvases, if she can make something bleed, she's in her happy place.
Knives & Blades × A collector of sorts, Danie has an insatiable love for all things sharp and pointy. She favors dual wielding daggers in combat, but often enjoys flaying things with any type of blade that will do the job. For her "play sessions" (i.e.: likely flaying people alive) she has much more elegant and exotic blades, while "out on the field" she's using tactical and combat knives, usually. Long distance, she favors a sniper rifle.
Seductive Clothing × Danie would worship her own body if she could, and her clothing choice is usually how she does so. No matter how it may cause people to think about her, she cares little and will likely show up in the outfit to make everyone's jaw drop. Needless to say, women either despise her or want to get in bed with her, and most men (in her experience) see her as a sex object. Considering how she'd gotten by in her past life, this isn't new to her and is usually her go-to method of snaring victims in the black widow's web.
Dislikes
Children × Danie holds an extreme amount of resentment toward her childhood. Neglectful parents are still neglectful even if they spoil their child with all that they desire. Money can't buy their love. Thus, most (if not all) children she meets she has an automatic hatred toward, simply because their life is likely better than hers was. That aside, she usually can't (and won't) stand snotty, disobedient children. In other words, Danie is far from "mommy material."
Cheap Anything × food, clothing, establishments... whatever it is, if it's cheap and rundown, she wants nothing to do with it.
Overly Emotional People × Danie tends to be cold, distant and downright vicious. Those 'let me be your hero' types or others who try and evoke emotions out of her really piss her off. She's more likely to outright murder a person before you could play any psychological games with her to try and make her "feel." Either that or she'll make a game out of it and play off the other's emotions.
Scars × She used to have none, but has recently acquired a few. Considering how vain she is, this sort of thing really irks her. A scar on her body is like a slash through a million dollar painting, if you're asking her.
Fearless Types × The #1 way of pissing her off if you're her latest victim-- acting as though nothing she says or does will phase you. Granted, this is also the #1 way for her to find what will, but- inevitably, if she can't get a rise out of someone, she's bound to grow furious.
