The image above gives you an actual picture of what Danielle looks like, but the only exception is that she does not have pink hair...or rather it was her dream for her to have pink hair. Danielle has long, pure brown hair, down towards her bottom, with short curtain-like bangs in the front. Most of the time, she loves to have it straight, just so she wouldn't bother with styling her hair unless there's a special occasion. Her hair is naturally wavy. She is thin, lightly-skinned, and tall (give or take 5'7), albeit taller than her older cousin. Wearing heels almost makes her a 5'9, but that is a rarity. She has green eyes, green like grass, and likes to wear eye makeup all the time. The usual mascara, eye liner, and natural-colored eye shadow. Basically, Danielle prefers modern teen fashion.
In terms of clothing, she likes wearing jean skirts, jean shorts and jean pants. Pretty much everything jeans, as she is a huge fan of it. Her wrists are full of plastic gummy bracelets, she even shares some with her friends. She like casual-fitting t-shirts and tank-tops, depending on the weather. Her preferred top is a short-sleeved green baby tee with a picture of a blue flower, but during the winter months, she would have to cover it up. When she wears jean skirts and shorts, she always wears black leggings underneath, the length down to her knees. She prefers flip flops than tennis shoes, but in case she needs to walk during a journey, she wears tennis shoes with socks.
To give her a better picture of what she looks like, think of Pike Queen Lucy, one of the Frontier Brains, with the exception that she does not have red streaks in her hair and she wears a green top that covers her whole abdomen.
Being the leader of a large group in her school, Danielle prefers being one rather than being the follower. She likes to lead groups on her own and does not like anyone or anything to stand in her way. She is also highly competitive and takes a while to accept loss, especially when it comes to battles. She loves training her Pokemon, pushing them hard so they could do their best, but she'll know her limit. Deep inside of her, however, she is a friendly person and she likes to stand up to anyone (or anything). Although Danielle can be a bit shy at first when meeting new people, but will quickly warm up when it comes to catching a wild Pokemon or battling someone, as those seem to spark her interest very quickly. She pays attention to detail, a lot. With her good vision, she'll be quick to find any differences around her.
Aside from being competitive and friendly, she is very loyal not just to the people she knows, but also to Pokemon. She loves her Pokemon very much, as if they were her own children. She tries her absolute best to keep her Pokemon as happy and confident as she can, and hopefully they won't think she's a pushover. She absolutely knows what's best for them.
Danielle was born and raised in Celadon City, and lives with her Uncle Bryan in Downtown Celadon. He was a former trainer himself, and currently has an Ivysaur. Bryan, a Pokemon doctor in a top Celadon Hospital, is very strict towards Pokemon and did not allow her to have one of her own until later on in her life. In spite of that, Danielle has been exposed greatly of Pokemon, especially to the fact that Erika, the Celadon Gym Leader, is her inspiration. She is technically an only child, as her parents died in a plane crash. Her cousin, currently unnamed, and is older than her, is currently training and competing for the Pokemon League in Hoenn.
Danielle also had a childhood friend at Celadon, too. His name was Mark Wilson, and eventually they'll become classmates at the Academy. They went to the same school, and lived on the same street. He was exposed to Pokemon first before Danielle, as his Poliwag, Len, became his first Pokemon. He showed Danielle the ropes to capturing her first Pokemon, even when her uncle prohibited her to do so, but failed thereafter. After being friends since at a young age, Danielle had to transfer to a private school at the other side of Celadon due to her outstanding effort with her schoolwork, thus moving away to a different part of the city from her best friend.
On her 12th birthday, she received a gift from her aunt in Mistralton City. It was a Pokemon egg. Although her uncle still disapproves of her having Pokemon, he decided to let it slide for that time. A few months later, it hatched into a Mienfoo. Danielle fell in love with him, and promised she'll take care of the baby Pokemon herself, without the supervision of her uncle.
At her new school, she excelled greatly, becoming one of the top students. She also kept her reputation from her old school to her new school. The students at the school admired her very much. She earned top grades in the Pokemon subjects, which includes training, battling, and care. Gym Leader Erika is a mentor at the school, and she sees Danielle and Mienfoo together everyday, as well as with her friends. One day, when Danielle had a Pokemon battle against a friend of her's outside of her school (her Mienfoo against her friend's Victreebel), Erika had approached to her after watching her win the battle, and told her about the Pokemon Trainer Academy. She thinks that she'd be a perfect fit for the school, but she wasn't sure on what her uncle Bryan would say about it. Surprisingly, he approved of her choice, and allowed her to go.
With her extensive knowledge in Pokemon, and her loyalty towards Mienfoo, Danielle took the exam, and passed it with flying colors...earning her a spot at the elite dorms of the Academy: Suicune Dorm. Bryan knows for a fact that with her high grades, and her potential to become a better trainer like her cousin and himself, she'll be successful.
