Her frame is somewhere in transition from lithe to athletic with all of the sports activities she's involved in. Noticeably, her arms and shoulders are starting to thicken with all of the time she spends out in the water or up in a tree. She has a collection of small cuts, scrapes, and bruises covering her body from all of the outdoor adventures she often finds herself in. She's got an easy-going energy that always seems relaxed and open to conversation.</em><br/><strong>Arriving from: </strong><em>Albuquerque, New Mexico</em><br/><br/><strong>Character Trope:</strong><em>Jock</em><br/><strong>Stuffed Animal Type</strong><em>Fantasy</em><br/><br/><strong>Please provide three to five subjects or tasks that your character is strong at.

Be sure and include their relationship with parents and any siblings.</strong><em>Dani is the only child to two work-a-holic parents who always show up to late to the "big" event. To their credit, they are high functioning and capable people going through all of the correct routines - Dani doesn't need to ask, they simply provide and give her an allowance to make her own financial choices. They have family dinners and go out on vacations, but Dani doesn't feel seen. She feels like a convenient accessory to their own perfect lives. Objectively, she knows she is loved. She knows that her parents are proud of her, even, but there is still an emotional disconnect.</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's school-life. Are they doing well? What is their relationship like with their teachers and peers?</strong><em>Her school social life more than makes up for those emotional gaps left in her home life. She enjoys filling her time with extra curricular activities - whatever the seasonal sport is, debate team, student government, e-sports - all of it is fun! She's a just-barely average student, but she's constantly reminded that even C's get degrees, so she's not worried about it.</em><br/><strong>Describe your character's relationship to the stuffed animal that they brought. How did they acquire it? Did they want to bring it? Are they proud to show it, embarrassed to have it, or something else?</strong><em>The Kraken (<strong>not</strong> an octopus, she'll aggressively say), was a birthday present from her parents when she was 8. It was purchased while at an aquarium as a souvenir and given to Dani because she was a fearsome force to be contended with in the water. Pleased at the comparison and recognition, Dani didn't mind that she was too old for stuffed animals. The large creature (3 feet long!) found a new home on her bed and late at night, Dani would find herself talking to it for comfort. It became her emotional support stuffed animal and she often wrapped herself up in its tentacles while trying to fall asleep. She loves that thing and has no embarrassment showing it off. When it was time for camp, of course it was coming with, and there simply was no way to be discreet about it.</em><br/><strong>What is one thing will make your character most home-sick while they are away?</strong><em>Dwarf Pampas Grass is native to Albuquerque and grows all around her home. Her childhood was spent playing with the fluffy plumes or using their rigid stalks as makeshift swords.</em><br/><strong>What is one thing will your character be happiest to hopefully 'leave behind' while they are away?</strong><em>Her parents. The older she gets, the more she ponders the distance she feels with them. She wants to confront them about their hands-off approach to parenting and ask if they really like <strong>her</strong>, but she doesn't know how to. She's starting to feel more closed-off and distant with them and doesn't understand why, because on the surface everyone is doing all the correct things.</em><br/><strong>What is your character's favorite campfire story and why?</strong><em>Be Careful What You Wish For</em>
