School
xxxxxGraduated in 20?? from Destiny City University with a BA in Fashion Design and a minor in Graphic Design.
_Hobbies___
Comics
xxxxxNever a huge fan of books, Danika wasn't so keen to leave her picture books behind as she grew up. Her father introduced her to some of his Iron Man comics as a compromise to try and teach her the fun of reading. Unfortunately, it didn't quite have the effect he was looking for. Danika still dislikes a mass of text staring back at her, but her walls are stacked with shelves and displays for her comic book collection. DC Comics in particular. Every Wednesday has her marching from work to her favorite comic book store, palling around with the staff and owners before collecting her weekly bundles of monthly titles. She takes particular care of her collection, storing them in binders, cases, and sleeves between readings. A chunk of her wardrobe is dedicated to superhero merchandise, and the majority of the accents around her room consist of famous symbols and figurines. Number one sight? Batman. She's even got a few novels dedicated to the Dark Knight she's been slowly picking through. Quite a feat there.
Digital Art
xxxxxA direct consequence to her obsession with comics, were her horrific attempts to trace and eyeball favorite scenes early in her art career with traditional media. It did the trick to get her hooked on making her own superheroes, plethora of villains, and of course enough near-apocalypses to make any comic writer proud. Years later, Danika still spends hours curled up in front of her computer screen, doodling and designing away. While trying to make her own comics is a tad more rare, her external is filled with outfit designs, posters and business cards for local enterprises, and every now and then a few commissioned paintings. Like many, Adobe programs and a Wacom tablet are her bread and butter, and though she was predominantly self-taught prior to attending college, she's thrilled to learn new techniques through her classes.
Clothing Design
xxxxxWithin the last two years of high school, Danika developed a tendency to.... modify the clothes her mother would go out and buy her. Much to her mother's dismay, but it was hard to tell if that was due to Dani's disregard for her mother's tastes... or more from how badly Dani did trying to reattach sleeves and buttons to a shirt. A few lessons from her grandmother later, she began to avidly seek classes in both local craft stores, and community centers in how to sew and design clothes. Her mother stopped complaining about her daughter's "destructive tendencies" when Danika gave her a beaded dress she'd made for her one Christmas. A growing portion of Danika's room became dedicated to her dress mannequin--Charlie--and fabrics, until finally her parents allowed her to transform her father's old office into a proper work-space. All because her parents' remodeled the basement and included far superior offices for them both, but hey. Hers was now right across from her room, bonus! Danika has a strong preference for working with cotton and denim, as evident by the majority of her wardrobe not bought in the comic book store. Though she has begun experimenting with leather and more delicate fabrics, she still keeps falling back to buying any such piece she wants for an outfit, modifying it to fit her exact design, then making from scratch the rest of the outfit.
Hockey
xxxxxOnce upon a time, a little Danika flew across the ice, ramming into opposing mini-skaters, and shoving them away from the puck that was destined for the enemy's goal. Throughout middle school and high school she kept up with her favorite sport and made a bit of a name for herself for it. As other hobbies began to surface though, and part-time jobs began to clash with school and hockey schedules, she was forced to drop the sport full time. She'll still go down to the ice rink when she has the free time and play a few rounds with friends--or strangers. Each year Danika and her family get season passes to the local games, and one can all but bet if they search the stands hard enough, they'll find Danika screaming and cheering for the local heroes along with the rest of the crowd. If not getting a little extra worked up when the shoving matches turn into all out fights on the ice.
Scars
xxxxxUnfortunately, Danika is not a tactical, or even careful, sort of young woman. This has not changed since becoming Themiscyra. She's got her scars. She'll be gaining more. This is just a list of her most notable ones.
Left wrist Pale semi-circles and random marks around the outside of her wrist near the bone on the back. Stretch from the back side of her hand down around the side of her wrist. Small, already starting to fade. Got them when she broke her wrist in October '13.
Right elbow/forearm A jagged slash that starts an inch or so above her elbow and cuts almost diagonally around onto the top of her forearm. Stretches down around four inches or so along her forearm. Received from a fight against Captain Jarosite May '14
Right side of abdomen A jagged slash just under her rib cage. Around four or five inches long. Received from a fight against Captain Jarosite May '14
Right thigh A jagged slash that stretches from a few inches above her knee to the top swell of her thigh along the outside. A particularly deep gash, Danika maintained a slight limp from this wound for a little while. Received from a fight against Captain Jarosite May '14
Clothes:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPolyvore
xxxxxBetween the large chunk of her wardrobe being handmade at this point, and the other immense force being merchandise from her favorite DC heroes and heroines, Danika does at least have a few typical themes to her outfits. Skiny jeans are a favorite, especially paired with wild high heels--one might say she has a thing for heels, in fact. She prefers to wear a lot of bracelets and necklaces layered. Bright colors accenting too much black is relatively common, though every now and then she'll step out in something a bit brighter than the sun for the hell of it.

_Virtues___
Tough Skin
xxxxxDanika has her calluses, physically and emotionally. Though she's been lucky to have supports throughout her life to keep from forming more than a few minor bouts of depression, these rough patches have helped to shape how she responds to the world around her. The good, the positive, Danika accepts and embraces in spades. The bad, the painful and stressful and harassing? She is able to withstand the pressures of these situations with surprising calm. Not that she enjoys the sensation of fighting the world each day at times, but Danika is able to smile and shrug despite the difficulties. The hardships of daily life always seem to affect her just a little less than someone might expect. She deals with the problems as they come, without the urge to run and hide. Even social interactions are reflected by this. Snarky, snapping, bitchy words roll off Danika without so much as a scratch to her. She'll meet each hostile interaction with a smile and a shrug, not add additional fuel to the fire. Her limit for stress and violent reactions around her is incredibly high due to how she responds and processes such events. However, even she has her ends, at which point she will turn to her more physical hobby to try and properly vent her own frustrations.
Abstract
xxxxxIt isn't just through her art projects that Danika expresses her more... creative side. Her daily attitude and style are loud and upbeat, and her thought process is no different. She loves looking beyond the box in every aspect of life. Refurnishing and rebuilding old, throw-away furniture she finds for free by the sidewalk in someone's yard, or things she buys at the thrift store. Her outfit designs certainly range from the average to the... well. Adventurous. Danika takes pride in taking her time to look at the world around her, look at a problem at hand, and figure out a whole new way to tackle things. She finds immense fun in solving problems in ways as creative and unique as possible. This can certainly lead to her biting off far more than she can chew, unfortunately, which often just leads to even more problems she needs to whisk up new solutions for. To varying results, of course, but she's yet to hit a wall tall enough to make her reconsider her take on life.
Energetic
xxxxxPlease don't give Danika any caffeinated drinks. She runs on enough of her own personal electricity without any liquid additions. Of course she still loves taking swings of Monster and coffee, but from morning to late night antics, she's got a smile and energy that never really dies. Danika is not exactly bubbly, but she's loud and vibrant as can be. Sure she can sit for hours on end working on her digital and fabric projects, but you can also bet she'll be talking a mile a minute on Skype or just her cell. She doesn't need to be always doing something, but certainly if you want Danika for something, any time of the day or night, just call her up and she's got the energy to be game. It's dominantly her outlook on life that fuels her energy. The desire to always be positive and bring as many good vibes to people around her keeps her mood up and her spirit high. It's not only her tough skin that someone has to compete with when it comes to trying to beat Danika down: it's her pure will to stay happy.
_Flaws___
Rough House
xxxxxYou can take the girl out of hockey, but you're really not going to ever take the shoves and checks out of the girl. While she might not meet each stranger in her life with a body slam, Danika is a very hands-on girl. She expects handshakes, greets even vague acquaintances with a pat on the arm or shoulder, and the more familiar she is with someone, the more they're going to notice her tendency to be a little... rough. Elbowing, light punches to the arms, even kicking at someone's leg to get their attention are all the most common displays from her when she's dealing with someone she feels she knows generally well. Her rougher antics are at least usually reserved for people who make it clear they can handle her harder punches to their arms or torso, and who don't freak out if she tackles and jumps on them from behind. Usually. Telling Danika to "cut the crap" doesn't usually work. She views her more "playful" violent actions as just that, playful. Anyone who gets upset with her over it, in her book, just has something stuck up their arse. She'll roll her eyes and laugh to any reprimands, and one can all but guarantee she'll be back with her light swings and hip bumps the next day. Danika does draw the line at actually trying to intentionally hurt someone, and when the threat of cops gets called she'll put a halt to her antics... for the time being. Sadly, she's lost a few friends here and there due to her inability to just stop her joke shots and playful pushes. Still hasn't been enough to get her to change her behavior, though.
Foolhardy
xxxxxDanika's silly, active behavior doesn't end with some playful pushes and shoves at friends. Energetic and full of smiles, she's a girl who loves to get up, go outside, and just run. As reckless as she is rough and tumble, it's all cares to the wind when she so much as walks down the street... really, too willing to be just happy and not focusing enough on how big and serious a situation can be. While she hasn't exactly gotten into parkour, Danika's creative new paths through the city often lead her far beyond the sidewalks and streets. Not once does she bother to take into consideration how she could be risking injury from being up on high ledges, or even legal troubles due to, y'know, trespassing a lot of times as she cuts through properties. To her, it's all fun and exciting and a game. A test of what new route she can come up with, or new way she can move her body through a structure. Facing up against a problem with another person is met with much the same almost flippant, testing attitude. Yes, she is able to take the scathing words and harsh demands with a calm head, but her attitude displayed is nothing but too casual and calm. She doesn't fully consider what she's saying, or how she says it. Consequences are rarely taken into consideration before she's moving, acting, dealing with the world around her. They happen, and often, but she takes them in stride as new problems to deal with and figure out as they happen. People around her must either learn how to cope with Danika's rough, reckless demeanor, and hopefully realize she is taking the world into consideration in terms of how to otherwise deal with a situation... Or they had best walk away fast. Danika invites the fun times and games, even if she has a tendency to find them on the edge of a ledge both physically, and metaphorically.
Fanciful
xxxxxCall it a by product of growing up reading comic books and falling headlong into the countless possibilities available in those worlds. Danika thinks big, dreams bigger, and has a big tendency to get caught up in coming up with her plans to try and capture these dreams that she doesn't stop to realize how unrealistic they are. Visions of grandeur are her biggest problems when it comes to tackling projects--personal, for school, and otherwise. While these monstrous goals often are the main source that push her to learn new techniques and tactics, and certainly give her long-term goals she so desperately wants... the fact remains Danika often finds herself overwhelmed or under prepared for the challenges her ideas and plans lead her into. Each time she'll manage to at least keep her sanity in tact, stay strong and carry on, but the same can rarely be said for her actual projects. Many of her paintings and fashion designs have been stored away for later dates when she believes she'll have the ability to finish them. Her tendency to think so big also has a habit of interfering with her social interactions. Even for all the complications in the comic books, Danika grew up thinking dramatics and big antics were social norm, that everyone responded so well to them. Yeah... that really isn't the case in the real world. A fact she gets, but unfortunately isn't something she always takes into consideration before she acts or says something. Plans have a habit of blowing up in her face before they've really kicked off, if only due to their size and complexity.

O v e r v i e w
The wonder is a large walled city where in the past, men were treated like second-class citizens that only had access to the ouster most ring of the city, separated from the rest--and the higher, cleaner sections--by foreboding walls guarded at all times. Beneath the city resides a massive prison system, shaped like a reverse-pyramid of sorts--mirroring, in effect, the city above it with its tiers. At the base of the prison is the shrine for the Compact the first Knight of Themiscyra erected unknown ages past--the room before that, is a room of statues depicting each of the knights throughout the ages as a way to honor the fallen. The most direct forms of access to the prison systems are--the court houses, the largest of which is the second highest building in the city; the collection of rooms that belonged to the knight of the wonder; tunnels hidden within the city, often used to bring in men who while according to treaty rules with other worlds/wonders were immune from some of the laws of the city (provided they stay in the outer circles unless accompanied by the knight), were still often times punished per the... typical rules of the city.
P h y s i c a l..I n f o r m a t i o n
____The City of Themiscyra____
Notable Locations:
** Arched Patrol Wall:
** Merchants' Stables:
** Warriors Three Square: [Main open court when entering city. Gathering area for visitors.]
** Proven's Stables:
** The Maiden's Palace
xxxxxxThe highest building within the city, it sits atop the peak of the mountain that forms the rising base of the city. This palace holds the city's elite, it's wealth, and it's top defenses. Its safety, despite its highly visible position, was guaranteed by the maze-like cave systems that exist beneath the entirety of the city of Themiscyra. Most are natural structures, while some were expanded upon by Martian hand. Their complexity is comprehended by none, as the full expanse of the system has never been entirely mapped.
xxxx The Throne Room
xxxxxxxThe "throne room" the Code's orb resides in is in fact under the palace in a natural cave renovated to serve as a council chamber and war room, and in the past it was not uncommon for the knights of Themiscyra to try and seek council from the Code about plans, or even guidance in their paths. To put it lightly, the past knights of Themiscyra were extremely loyal to the Code and its teachings--Dania, Danika's past-self, was especially reverent in her followings of her understanding of its teachings--and though this is something Danika has a sense of... she's not sure how she feels about it in this life.
