Appearance: Daenerys is 5'2" tall and weighs 112 lbs. She has an oval face apart from her sharp chin, big light blue eyes, a small nose and thin lips, often formed into a smile. Her hair is light brown, smooth, and worn in a three-inch-long bob.

Daenerys is Caucasian. She has decent muscles and a slight tan thanks to being outside a lot. Her voice is loud and cheerful and she sometimes unconsciously makes gestures while talking.

Daenerys prefers practical clothing over clothing that looks good. She doesn't pay much mind on fashion and, therefore, has no clear color scheme. On the day of the abduction, she was wearing a dark blue hoodie with a purple hood, a yellow T-shirt, a brown belt with two small bags on it, slightly worn-out beige jeans and red boots.

Biography: Daenerys Todd was born on June 27th, 2003 in a hospital in Boston. She is the first child of Jasper and Linette Todd. The pair would go on to have two more children: a 12-year-old girl named Arya and a boy named Jon, six years old. All three children were named after characters in A Song of Ice and Fire, a series of fantasy novels Jasper and Linette loved.

Her parents ran a small independent store for video games, comics and tabletop RPs located in Boston. Linette had first worked as a part-time job in the store, but over time the two fell in love with the owner, resulting in them marrying and Linette becoming the co-owner. The store was well-known among the people interested in such topics and made enough money to keep the family afloat.

This changed in 2008, when the global financial crisis hit. The store struggled for months and didn't survive. The family had to move out of their expensive home, having spent most of their money on keeping the store afloat. Luckily, Jasper had family in Salem, who helped him get a well-paying office job as an accountant and an affordable apartment in West Salem. Giving up his dream of running a store was a huge blow, but he settled on doing what was best for his family and convinced his wife that they would be able to start over in Salem, especially with Linette having gotten pregnant again. Linette decided against looking for a job on her own to focus on raising their children.

As their first child, Daenerys was doted on by her parents from a young age. Even during the harder times and their move, both Linette and Jasper tried to give Daenerys a good childhood. While Daenerys grew up happy, her parents would often try to interest her in their own, often nerdy, hobbies. To their dismay, Daenerys found no interest in such things and preferred playing outdoors.

In elementary school, Daenerys quickly proved herself to be slightly above the average when it came to learning, but otherwise unremarkable. Since most kids and even some teachers had trouble with her first name, other people at school started calling her simply D, which evolved into her nickname over time. Even nowadays, some of her friends she went to elementary or middle school with still call her that.

Each summer starting after their move to Salem, the family would go on vacation for two weeks. In Daenerys' final year of elementary however, Linette became pregnant for the third time. Since the third child would put a strain on their finances, the family decided to not drive to a tourism spot like in other years. Instead, they visited Linette's parents Rudolph and Frieda, who lived by the mountains in a very rural region of South Dakota.

The following two weeks were a life-changing experience for Daenerys, who until then had seen only the parks of Salem and the city itself. The forests and animals living in them intrigued her to no end. She would spent most time with her grandparents, who took a liking to their granddaughter and taught her a bit about nature.

Of special interest was her grandfather's profession of being a falconer. The way her grandfather treated and communicated with the birds, the elegance of the craft and the animals themselves captivated Daenerys, and it wasn't until long that she declared her intentions to take on the same profession.

Her parents were less than impressed by this declaration, believing it to be just a childish idea that Daenerys would forget about in no time. But her grandfather heard her out. However, he pointed out that being a falconer was a risky job that took years to learn. He said that Daenerys should think hard if she wanted to do it and ask him again once she was older. He also told her about how he himself dropped out of school when he was young, something he deeply regrets, and implored her to take her education seriously, even if she wasn't planning on taking a job that required much education. After returning home, Daenerys would start to write letters to her grandparents monthly in order to keep contact.

At the end of this summer, Daenerys entered middle school. It was then that her name became an actual issue. Due to the TV adaption of the books, the name Daenerys had become famous. Some kids in particular would first tease, but eventually mock her for her name. Daenerys, who until then had had a peaceful childhood, was unprepared and didn't know how to handle such situations.

Two of Daenerys' classmates who were sitting next to her in some classes noticed this and approached Daenerys, eventually convincing her to get the teachers involved, which solved the problem. Out of a desire for safety and to be closer to her saviors, Daenerys joined the swimming club, which the two classmates were members of. Surprisingly, she enjoyed the club activities much more than she had expected and continued swimming in high school.

During middle school, Daenerys got more freedom since her parents were now busy raising her two younger siblings. She would use this time to explore the forests around Salem. For her, nature was abundant with awe-inspiring things to find, so she loved camping and hiking, although it would take until high school that her parents allowed her the former.

A bad change that middle school brought was that Daenerys' grades started to fall. Her laid-back attitude towards learning had been fine during elementary, but not for middle school. Her parents had a strict talk with her about this. Remembering Rudolph's advice, Daenerys decided to give it her all for the future. At the end of the first year of middle school, she was among the top 10% of her year. Impressed by this, her parents and grandparents, who she wrote about this topic, praised her a lot. From then on she felt obligated to keep up her grades and eventually she started to feel proud about being among the top of her peers. Even nowadays, Daenerys makes no effort to hide her pride towards her success, seeing it as proof of her dedication and work. This sometimes makes her come across as boastful in the eyes of people who don't know her that well or who also aim for high scores, resulting in some of her classmates disliking her. She is aware of this, but sees no reasons to do anything about them since she doesn't believe a few classmates hating her will be a problem.

Entering John Endecott Memorial, Daenerys once more saw herself targeted for her name. However, she had learned and knew to not let this bother her while dealing with it when necessary either by clapping back or by calling on the teachers and her circle of friends, which helped in most cases. After taking the words of her grandfather to heart, she has kept to her learning regime and quickly became known as a straight-A student. Her favorite classes are biology and math. Daenerys also joined the swimming team, where she has both old and new friends. She furthermore has a few bonds with classmates also interested in nature. However, just like in middle school, her open attitude towards her success has resulted in some resenters.

When the final season of Game of Thrones aired in 2019 and showcased her namesake turning insane, Daenerys received negative attention. While she dealt with like the last time, there was one incident where she got into a physical alteration with another girl who was especially rude to her. The fight had no witnesses and both girls knew they would get in trouble due to JEM's strict policy against fighting, so they never talked about the incident.

While most of her free time during the week is spent on studying and training with the swimming team, her weekends are still the time Daenerys goes hiking, sometimes even camping for a night. To avoid worrying her parents, she never does the latter alone, always finding at least one like-minded friend to accompany her.

During middle and high school, Daenerys would visit her grandparents every single summer. She cherishes the time spent in South Dakota a lot.

Daenerys is often cheerful and optimistic. So far she has faced barely any real tough situations in life and therefore often acts easygoing unless she has a clear goal in mind or enjoys what she is doing. While not caring much about what strangers think of her, she cares deeply about those she considers important. One sore topic for her is bullying, which she deeply detests due to her own experience. Because of said incidents, her classmates know her as someone who is often laid-back but knows to take action when targeted, resulting in bullies leaving her alone. Furthermore, she has an interest in nature and its inhabitants, especially birds. For that reason, she plans to go to a good university and study zoology after graduating from JEM.

Her relationship to her parents is lovely, but slightly estranged, since they have trouble relating to Daenerys' interests while Daenerys has no interest in the nerdy topics her parents love. Despite that, there never were any issues with Daenerys taking a completely different path in life than Jasper and Linette. Her two siblings adore her as the older sister, although the three don't see each other too often for long due to Daenerys being busy a lot with either hiking, swimming or learning. Her busy schedule also means she has no experience in dating, never having been that interested in boys.

Advantages: Daenerys is used to being outside a lot, meaning she would have fewer problems to find her way through forests or other places. She is known as a friendly and harmless person, which raises the odds of people being willing to trust her. Also she is pretty fit and has good stamina.
Disadvantages: Daenerys has some enemies among her fellow students, be it rivals or people who make fun of her. Aside from a few special occasions, she never faced notable tragedy, failure or setbacks in her life and might be unprepared to deal with such things.
