Danielle

Danielle, a character in the High School Story series, is one of your classmates. She is first seen in Class Act, Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Danielle has long brown hair with bangs, brown eyes and tan skin. She wears a faded black jacket with pockets on both sides over a white dress with floral pattern.

Personality
On the surface, Danielle appears nice and friendly to you and helpful to the theater club. After auditions end, however, she drops the façade to reveal her deviousness and sarcasm in her praise for your audition.

She is willing to resort to underhanded tactics to get what she wants. Danielle later confessed that she was the one who sabatoged the previous main character's audition in hopes of eliminating the competition. She is capable of feeling remorse and tries to atone for her actions by convincing Amber to give a large donation to the play.

It is implied that she doesn't have many close relations, thus one of the reasons for her jealousy in regards to Rory. In the premium scene in Chapter 13, she laments that Rory will never forgive her and calls him/her one of her "few real friends."

It is revealed in Book 2 that she went to therapy and wants to become a better person. However, she suggests kidnapping Lorenzo's kitten in Book 2 as blackmail in the school election. This hints that she might not be as genuine in wanting to change. Her deceitful nature allows her to get away with things and she states that if not for her confession, she would've also gotten away with sabotaging the original main character.

She is also passive-aggressive when she doesn't get what she wants, and struggles to keep her cool when she is assigned the role of the witch in The Enchanted Kingdom. She is also jealous of your friendship and possible romance with Rory, who she likes.

Your Character
Initially friendly towards your character by asking for the theater cube, Danielle is implied to have blackmailed or manipulated him/her into injuring the previous main character by placing the cube his/her way. After auditions, she shows her dislike for your character by sarcastically congratulating him/her on auditioning for the prince or princess, even more so when s/he gets said role while Danielle gets the role of a witch.

Rory
Having known Rory since at least middle school, Danielle considers Rory to be a close friend. However, she is interested in becoming more, even though as Rory tells you, Rory told her that (s)he likes her as a friend. She tries to kiss Rory at Homecoming, but Rory pulls away. When she confesses to sabotaging Jordan's audition and letting you take the blame, Rory becomes furious with her. In Chapter 14, she tells you that she has spent enough time focusing on Rory romantically; so it appears she has given up on that aspect. It's unclear if Rory forgives her by the end of Book 1, but you have the choice to and if you do, you reassure her that Rory will forgive her in time.

In Book 2, she helps Ajay with his campaign for Rory to become student body president. According to Rory, Danielle is in therapy and is really serious about being better.
