[u][b]Homeworld:[/b][/u] The Spirit Plain, in the world of Jade Empire

[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Dani

[u][b]Age:[/b][/u] Appears to look 24 or 26; like Ignis, she's ageless.

[u][b]Species:[/b][/u] Manifestation of Rage

[u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Female

[u][b]Alignment:[/b][/u] Evil

[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u]

For the most part, Dani appears to be a stoic, rarely ever putting an expression on her face. However, that's not to say that she's emotionless; she has her own sense of humor, usually when she's mocking others though never going too far with it. She is incredibly vain, thinking highly of herself in appearance and mind; looking down on those she considers 'lesser' than her. In spite of her conceited nature, however, she is very polite and more or less prefers to avoid violence and conflict, even if she has some subjects fighting for her. Depending on the situation, Dani is also very willing to negotiate before acting, whether it's using her powers or discussing other matters with enemy or ally, not always using her hypnosis on a whim just because she could.

Dani considers herself a seductress.  Towards most men she considers worthy of her time, she is very flirtatious and would try to sway them to her side. Though she will often manipulate women as well, she is very scornful to those of the same gender as her, and would rather make them do humiliating things when under her spell. However, she can be merciful, knowing where to draw the line. Even though she is seductive to men, she has some sense of class, usually going for a more subtle approach, not always putting them under her spell, as well as having certain tastes.

Dani is surprisingly very calm, despite the fact that she was the manifestation of Audrey's Rage. Insults rarely faze her, and she considers it childish and petty to try and provoke her. However, should Audrey or anything related to her become involved, she may lose self-control or, at her most worst, her inner nature will be unleashed in full force. Though Dani has learned to keep her anger in check, to the point of repressing it, there are times where it begins to slip. Lately, however, her rage has begun to lessen, her hate towards her other beginning to wane.

[u][b]Powers:[/b][/u]

Dani wields the power of hypnosis, which occurs when her eyes glow brightly. If anyone is caught under her spell, she would have them do exactly as she says against their will. These powers were given to her upon her rebirth, influenced by the [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/The_Ritual_of_Binding]binding ritual[/url] placed upon Audrey's soul. Depending on how strong the target's willpower is, her hypnotic spells don't always work, and it's a double-edged sword if anyone would reflect them back with a mirror or reflect spell. After the events in Arkham City, however, she has received an augmentation to her hypnosis via the Mad Hatter's tea.

As of that encounter, her hypnosis has given her a far wider range of uses. She can launch a humanoid figure, most typically that of an attractive woman, as a silver, spectral image at a far target, with the effect changing depending on her target being primarily mechanical or primarily organic/autonomous in nature. For a machine, the figure will enter it entirely and the device will give some form of boon to her, such as turning on, disabling or enabling alarms, opening an access gate, or simply spitting money out of a vending machine. For more autonomous targets, it will encircle them repeatedly, unable to be hit, but signifying their allegiance. While under its spell, they perform a previously designated task, such as opening a door, distracting someone, or attacking a group. When it wears off after several minutes, the target is left dazed and confused as to what happened, the time spent entranced seemingly erased from their mind. Since it has more limited amount of use, this is only used for a long range control if a target is trying to escape.

Due to her study of the mind, her hypnotic influence can be much more permanent, with webs of her power feeding into a humanoid target's mind to not only make them completely loyal to her, but also make them happy to have been as such, if she has direct physical contact with the person, and preferably with eye contact to quicken the process. In the same vein, she can threaten people with a form of a "mind bomb", a remotely placed version of the above that can only be truly activated with a touch, but much faster and harder to resist. All of these types are akin to a seamstress weaving a cloth within the mind, and, although the target may act differently, he or she does not have any external signs of control. Though one can find resistance to these weaves, depending on how strong the webs are, it can be a bit more dangerous, with damage done to the mind or, in the most extreme case, death. That said, high degrees of Dream Magic (or, in extremely painful cases, Nightmare Magic) can wipe away these compelling webs.

Aside from that, Dani can summon threads of darkness. These act as her weapons, as well as a means of teleporting from place to place across the worlds. They can also provide a form of healing, acting as "stitches" for open wounds. This was also given to her upon her rebirth, from the leftover traces of Audrey's rejected darkness. However, the use of these threads drain her power more quickly, so she frequently needs to recover to keep from running out. Her magic power runs on the spiritual energies of the world of Jade Empire known as [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/Chi]Chi.[/url] It can be restored either naturally with reserves, or by sapping it out of others with a touch, similar to the [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/Spirit_Thief]Spirit Thief style.[/url] This can only be done on those who are neutral or allied with her.

As mentioned, when her rage is broken out, Dani will transform into a large monster, resembling [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mother]the Mother[/url] and a giant reptile. Retaining only her dark threads in this form, she also has wind powers of her own, sending out blasts and tornadoes. The monster form is a last resort, so long as her anger is kept in check, though it may slightly break out every once in a while (via eyes and/or skin changing). However, as her rage begins to diminish, her transformation is becoming to work of her own accord, resembling that of a [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/Fox_Spirits]Fox Spirit[/url] instead (retaining the same powers).

[u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u]

Dani is very charismatic; though usually relying on her powers, she can still do without them by manipulating others through words. She is also very musically talented on the piano (a trait that carried over from Audrey's own talent), and unlike her other, she has the voice to go with it. Sometimes, her singing is all that's needed to lure people in, like that of a siren. Dani is exceptional at learning other languages, though she's only started after a few incidents where some hypnotized subjects wouldn't follow her due to not understanding (incidents that she would never mention. Ever). Though adept at Italian due to being Audrey's manifestation, she is very fluent at Chinese and Japanese, due to being native to the [url=http://jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/Tho_Fan]Old Tongue[/url] in the Jade Empire.

Despite the fact that she doesn't fight much, Dani does in fact retain some skill with a sword and martial arts, due to her previous history. Whenever she's forced to combat, she fights with grace, hardly ever falling to dirty tricks and reserved for quick blows that don't draw too much blood, preferring not to get too messy. The reason why she doesn't fight as much is because she prefers to play the 'helpless female' card.

[u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u]

Dani is a tall, slender woman, appearing to be about six feet in height. Her skin is very pale, and her platinum hair is long and very full, fluffed up on top of her head somewhat, and wavy down to midway down her back, with curled tips at the end and curls going down to rest on and go slightly past her shoulders in front of her. She once wore a long and flowing dark blue dress, sleeveless and strapless, and matching high heels. Along with the augmentations to her powers, her dress has changed to one much more revealing: a navy halter-like top with very thin silver straps to hold, barely covering her chest with a slit open at the navel, and her back bare all the way down to her lower back, the skirt also navy with one large slit for her left leg, which also reveals the inside to be silver, and high-heeled boots to match with the rest of it. The only thing kept from this are the pair of shades over her gray eyes, lifted when she uses her powers through her eyes, or when she simply wants to.

When in the case she has to fend for herself, her clothes change with the use of her threads. Opposed to a revealing dress, she instead dresses more conservatively, her [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090810021554/jadeempire/images/9/93/ScholarLing.jpg]outfit[/url] (though navy and silver as usual) allowing for more movement with her style. Her hair also ties up into a bun to keep it out of the way in battle.

Her monster form is a huge contrast. As mentioned, it resembles the Mother and a reptile, with three pairs of arms and legs, and the eyes of a [url=http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Hakutaku_Physiology]Hakutaku[/url, sporting three pairs even on her body. Her body is large, half a mile in length from head to tail. The skin is a pale color, claws make up her many hands and her teeth are incredibly sharp. Her platinum hair becomes a long and wild brown mane, going from her head to all the way down her back, nearly ending at the tail. In this form, she's always snarling and screaming among the likes of 'don't look at me!' Over time, however, as her form begins to be controlled by her own will, its appearance is slowly changing to a silver-furred Fox Spirit. At the moment, only fur is beginning to sprout in place of its scaly skin.

[u][b]Weapons:[/b][/u] After securing a "Thaneship" for the Collective, Dani now holds an [url=http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Ebony_Dagger_(Skyrim)]ebony dagger[/url] known as the [url=http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Blade_of_Haafingar]Blade of Haafingar[/url], being trained by Azumi (read: forcing her to) in order to defend herself with it, though still retaining her own form of combat. Though she continues to rely on her dark threads most of the time, she keeps the blade hidden beneath her dress, using it when she finds reason to.

[u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u]

After the events at Arkham City, Dani has received [url=http://arkhamcity.wikia.com/wiki/Mad_Hatter]Jervis "Mad Hatter" Tetch's[/url] mind-controlling tea from the Scarecrow. As an addition to her powers, anyone who drinks the tea will be under her control, first with their body moving against their will with them conscious of it (though unable to speak more than a mumble), and then, if forced to drink more, losing their consciousness and being totally subject to her will. However, like her hypnosis, it can be broken out of should one see it coming or have the willpower to do so. Like Scarecrow's Fear Toxin for Ignis, the tea also enhances and amplifies her powers, sometimes restoring them when her hypnosis is out of use. However, she only drinks it when she absolutely needs to (such as in the aforementioned occasion of her hypnosis running low, which rarely happens on most days), doing her best to avoid addiction, unlike her partner.

[url=http://www.halopedia.org/Chatter]Chatter:[/url] A primarily video-based communication device that's been given to her by Azumi, originally meant to keep track of her. Through the soldier's technological aid following their budding friendship, it's been given a [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130702081933/rememberme/images/c/cc/Pick-Socket_Profile.jpg]holographic modification[/url] and fitted into an opera-style glove sans the fingers, allowing for her to detach the screen used in a talk and project it in front of her to allow her to show her entire body if need be. This is used not only to keep a track on her aide, but also to contact those outside of the Collective's knowledge using a private, secure channel of communication.

[u][b]History:[/b][/u]

Dani was merely a manifestation of Audrey's Rage, confronted when she, along with Gregory Zivaku and Kynthia Usagi, went through Dirge in the world of Jade Empire, after all three were killed. Although Audrey initially rejected her sin, the lesson she learned from it didn't stick, and her Rage lied dormant within her, waiting for the next moment to strike. It was during the Soul Bind incident that the energies used to bind the girl reformed the manifestation and allowed it to take over her, filling her with memories of bullying peers, her manipulative brother, and her fighting parents, all things that brought her anger into full force. The result was the murder rampage in Traverse Town; even after the redeemed Isaac Zivaku lifted the Bind off of her, her Rage would not let her stop.

However, after an unconscious use of the Dream Walker ability, the Interferences involved (her boyfriend and his brother, Sorin and Pyro Mireu, the aforementioned demon, and her best friend Cheryl "Heather" Mason) ended up facing this Rage, who had taken the form not of the doppelgänger before, but a large and hideous monster who wielded Audrey's wind powers at the time. However, with the aid of the formed counterpart named Akyra, who took the powers back from her, and with Audrey's obtaining the more benevolent Dream magic, the Dream Mage rejected her sin once more, allowing her and the Interferences to finally defeat her. The Rage was forced out of Audrey's being, supposedly bringing an end to her and allowing Audrey to walk a new path to clear her conscience.

However, this was not the case. Though Audrey was able to redeem herself, the manifestation was given another chance by the Chi released from the Bind and the leftover traces of her other's darkness, reforming her with her own consciousness. Over time, with threads of darkness and spiritual energies weaving into this new being, she had taken another form, this one of a silver-haired woman with the ability to hypnotize others and form dark threads. At the time, however, her powers still needed time to develop. She remained in hiding in that time, taking the name "Dani" for herself, naming herself after a character in a game called [i]Haunting Ground[/i] that she felt she shared her role in a way, and occasionally took the role of a singer and piano player in several clubs and fine-dining restaurants across the worlds. There was even one instance where, back in the town that brought the rampage, she had watched Audrey and Sorin while they were on a date, the encounter adding an influence to her focusing on love, lust, and attention. With this, she decided that she would eventually take the girl's precious boyfriend away from her in revenge.

Eventually, her powers had finally developed to its fullest, allowing her the chance to show the worlds what she could really do. However, even with this, she knew she would not be strong enough to handle things on her own, even with hypnotized subjects fighting for her. She began to seek out willful allies, starting with a fellow manifestation who had also gained a consciousness for himself, the Nightmare Illusionist Ignis Fatuus. Finding him trapped in his own illusion after a failed attempt to take Kalas (and eventually Xelha) as his personal slaves, she released him by knocking him out, taking him to another world to recover. When he awoke with a newfound resolve, Dani finally introduced herself, revealing their similar origins and their connections with their sibling hosts. Also revealing that their respective powers (his illusions and her hypnosis) would not work on each other, and that they both shared a common goal in going after Audrey Jones (though for different reasons), along with a promise to bring him followers with her powers, they had formed a mutual alliance. A simple partnership that would soon evolve into a villainous organization known as the Collective.

Not long after this, Ignis met up with Dani before she would set off in search of followers, introducing a third ally by the name of Rikka Masami, the twin sister of an Interference named Yuki. Though finding her powers useful, the Hypnotic Seductress, as she would call herself from then on, took an immediate annoyance towards the Light of Destruction, taking every chance she had to shatter her massive ego. Because of this animosity, Ignis, being the manipulative bastard that he was, sent them on a mission to Radiant Garden to acquire a ship for Rikka, a task that neither women were looking forward to. Nonetheless, the villainess had no point in arguing, and thus took their new ally to Radiant Garden.

There, she hypnotized Cid Highwind to construct Rikka's ludicrously expensive ship that would become the [i]White Night.[/i] However, before the task could be finished, a black-armored soldier attempted to assassinate them. Though Dani was rendered helpless after a few shots, she had only managed to bring their assailant out of hiding before allowing Rikka to fight them off. With the Light of Destruction's powers and Yu-Gi-Oh! abilities, the soldier was rendered incapacitated, and Rikka, admiring her strength and guts to take on two magically-inclined people, offered her to be her personal servant aboard her new ship. Unsurprisingly, the woman refused, and Dani decided to test her powers on an Interference. Upon hypnotizing her, she revealed her name to be Azumi Emily Ian, explaining who she worked for and her position as Corporal at the time. Following this were orders to accept becoming a servant, followed by several humiliating tasks. However, Azumi managed to break out of the spell and escaped, attacking them before they could try to take her back. In spite of this, the endeavor had earned a somewhat mutual trust between the two villainesses, though still not liking each other. Once Rikka acquired her ship and left, Dani spoke with the still hypnotized Cid, receiving further background information on Azumi for whenever she would encounter her again.

With that done, Dani had set upon her task in gaining followers for herself, Ignis, and now Rikka. Her first destination was Lior, hypnotizing the desert inhabitants and taking them out of their world to go to their new masters. Before she would move on, to her surprise, she had run into Sorin Mireu, wandering on his own. Reminded of the one task to take him away, the Hypnotic Seductress greeted him, attempting to seduce him naturally before she would use her powers. When that showed little success, the Solar Samurai completely faithful in his feelings for the Dream Mage, Dani, having grown frustrated, attempted to bring him under her spell, to forget his feelings for the girl and love her instead. Though Sorin resisted her powers, she put them to full force, the stunt almost damaging herself and leaving her unable to use her hypnosis for a while. Nonetheless, the Solar Samurai fell completely under her control then, forced to loving her and completely forgetting about Audrey. With this victory, Dani left the world, taking her new "lover" with her.

The hypnotist briefly met with Ignis shortly after, bragging in her obtaining the samurai and noting in on holding off her search for followers until her powers were restored. She also explained the background of Azumi to him, should he encounter her for a new Interference to torture. With a final warning for the Nightmare Illusionist to stay away from "her" Sorin (accompanied with a minor transformation that even frightened the fellow manifestation), she and the hypnotized swordsman left, off to a world where she could have him to herself.

Ending up in Wonderland, Dani, noticing Sorin's monotone behavior, attempted to have him show more emotion under her spell. She also used her slightly restored hypnosis to turn the scouting card guards away from them, keeping away any possible interruptions between her and her warrior of the earth. However, that wasn't likely; they were found by a demon dog, a "Mauthe Doog" as they would discover. Though the canine didn't trust Dani, sensing her evil, it couldn't avoid her gaze as she hypnotized it into acting as her own personal guard dog. However, her attempt had caught the attention of two Interferences, a young External named Damien Reid, and the apparent owner of the Mauthe Doog, the Baten Kaitos hero Kalas. Unfortunately for them, with Sorin warning her beforehand, she managed to capture them with her dark threads and, after revealing who she was working with to them, once again used her hypnosis, Damien to become a messenger boy, and the one-winged boy to become Ignis' personal servant, as the illusionist originally aimed for, though she had displayed a personal interest due to her other's feelings. However, though Damien was under her control, Kalas had tricked her, his willpower stronger against what little power she had left than she had anticipated. Sorin and the demon dog, Lucifer, fought him off in their droned states, while Damien, unable to fight due to Dani's direct orders, eventually broke out, though failed in trying to stop the hypnotist. However, in her distraction in trying to retake the young boy, Kalas had used a devastating attack on her that left her greatly wounded, Sorin and Lucifer stopping in their attacks to come to her aid. With this defeat, Dani left the world with her hypnotized victims, unaware that one of the two Interferences would be off to find aid in the form of her most hated enemy.

Appearing on the world that brought her defeat years ago, Sorin helped Dani recover from her wounds, while Lucifer stood guard for them. With the two of them finally alone, Dani attempted to move in even closer with the Solar Samurai, until her breath was unexpectedly stolen away by a spell. With the Mauthe Doog's warning, she found not only had Kalas followed her to save his dog, but so did Cheryl Mason to aid a friend...as well as said friend, the Dream Mage that rejected her so long ago, that she aimed to kill to become her once more. Filled with the rage that she represented, she ordered Sorin to, in her words, "tear her heart out." The couple fought, once more under her influence, whilst she faced against the Holy Mother and the Mauthe Doog against his former master again. But once again, the fight had turned against her favor. With the combined efforts of the Holy Mother and the Divine Child, Lucifer broke free from her spell, turning on her and viciously mauling her in her focus to have Audrey killed. As a result, Audrey had used her Dream Walker spell, rescuing the Solar Samurai from within, a complete reverse of what had happened before. With these failures added up, the Hypnotic Seductress, in a surprising display of grace and dignity, retreated calmly, her final word simply being that it wouldn't be long before her warrior of the earth leaves the Dream Mage for good.

Wounded, low on her power, and her samurai lost to the girl she had aimed to kill, Dani was at a loss. To her dismay, Ignis had found her in her sorry state, and though helping her, he mocked her in her weakness, but was also angered to find that she had failed to take in his precious raven as promised, along with not even trying to take in the Holy Mother despite there being no discussion on her at the time. However, Dani quickly reminded him not to reprimand her at that time in another minor transformation, silencing him once more. With a final word from the Nightmare Illusionist to meet at the Hollow Bastion in Radiant Garden the following day, Dani left her partner to recover on her own.

Revitalized and her powers restored, Dani arrived at the meeting where Ignis Fatuus, Rikka Masami, and a new ally, the Batman villain Doctor Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane, had gathered. With an alliance of four, the villainous quartet would from then on be known as "the Collective," working together to achieve their own goals. With Dani acting as a secondary leader alongside Ignis, Rikka offering the [i]White Night[/i] as a base of operations so long as they followed her rules while aboard, and the Scarecrow proving himself useful with his fear toxin and Yellow Power Ring, this new villainous group was well underway.

Not long after this alliance, Dani went to the world of Atlantica to relax away from her allies (and to get away from the over-extravagance that was too much even for her). Though disliking her mermaid form with its anglerfish tail, she had put it to good use when she met the Interference Gregory Zivaku while on this short trip. Having recognized him from that time in Dirge and gaining an interest due to their similarities (somewhat), she at first tried to seduce him, only to have it backfire when the angel proved to be completely faithful to his love, Kynthia Usagi. To this, Dani, still bitter after losing Sorin, immediately went to hypnotizing him, her form giving an enhancement to her powers. However, rather than try and make him forget the demigoddess, Dani instead made him believe that she was her, instantly bringing him under her control. Just before she could make the next move, she was suddenly intercepted by Azumi Ian, angered by her putting the young man under her spell. However, sensing the anger was beyond the typical morality of a heroic Interference and taking advantage of the soldier's relative lack of weaponry in her mermaid form, the Hypnotic Seductress trapped her in her dark threads, beginning to leave the world with the hypnotized angel out of spite. Right before she could leave, Azumi made a desperate last minute offer for the villainess to take her in his place. Knowing that the Light of Destruction had made claims for her as a servant, Dani agreed to her request, along with making Greg forget everything that happened between them upon releasing him from the spell. However, before she did so, she gave the angel a final warning by giving Azumi a small cut on her arm, spilling some blood before they left for the [i]White Night.[/i]

Returning to the palace in the stars, Dani had given the news to the Collective about Azumi's place among them, though as a servant only to Rikka as intended, and Dani on certain occasions. A contract was then signed by the group, using Rikka's light as the ink, naming the soldier's terms, mainly that she would not give away information on them at her expense, and for them not to go after the Zivaku family or any of their romantic partners. In spite of her interest in Greg, Dani herself had no qualms in following the contract's terms, having no other further interest in the Zivakus or any of their partners aside from him. With that, she had used her chi energies to magically bind the contract to herself and the villainous group.

However, her partner did not share the same sentiment. Not long after setting the contract, when the Hypnotic Seductress returned after collecting a few more followers, she found that Ignis not only kidnapped Kalas, who wasn't protected, but also Cheryl Mason, who was said to be with Isaac Zivaku. Though he asked in her help to bring them to their side once their minds were completely shattered by the mental prison he had trapped them in, Dani gave him a warning that he was going against the contract's terms by kidnapping the Holy Mother. The illusionist merely waved her off, stating his justification that the Silent Hill heroine and the demon would likely not take their relationship any further. Annoyed by the lack of concern, Dani stayed out of the ensuing conflict as the rescue team, with Scarecrow's help, infiltrated their base. Even as Audrey and Sorin were among them, the hypnotist set her personal hatred for her other aside to allow them to take back their friends, knowing that Ignis brought this on himself. However, she found out that Ignis had assaulted the maid in the worst of ways after the escape. To her own surprise, she was disgusted in his antics, reminding him once more that what happened was his own doing. She did not let Azumi know this, however, knowing that the soldier woman would not want her pity. Instead, she allowed Rikka to handle her servant, the hypnotist continuing to do her own objectives within the Collective.

Some time later, following Azumi and Crane's visit to Arkham City, Dani was given the mind-control serum of Jervis "Mad Hatter" Tetch by the Scarecrow. Upon drinking the serum herself, her hypnotic abilities were enhanced beyond the use of her eyes, now allowing her to control even machinery and a person at a distance, as well as forming permanent "weaves" within her victim's minds. For the latter, she borrowed Crane's notes on the human brain to better her expertise.

Before she could test out her improved powers, Dani first traveled to the world of [i]The Elder Scrolls,[/i] in the Skyrim timeline, to secure a "Thaneship" for the Collective. However, on the way to Haafingar Hold, she had been attacked, a hit placed on all Collective members by Azumi's second-in-command within her own organization, the Crimson Dawn. When the soldier showed up, however, Dani forced her into acting as her bodyguard, or "housecarl," for the entirety of the mission. With the servant doing most of the work (though Dani also did some of her own, mostly with assisting some of the citizens in Haafingar), the Collective had been given Thaneship together (with the exception of Azumi, remaining as the housecarl), due to hypnotizing the "Jarl," Elisif the Fair. The effort was rewarded with a secondary base in the Proudspire Manor, and the Blade of Haafingar.

Staying in Tamriel, Nirn for a little longer, doing some work with the College of Winterhold to make some additions to the manor (via hypnosis) and being trained in her use of the blade, coupled with her own knowledge, the hypnotist's dark threads had then made their own additions after drinking more of the Mad Hatter's tea, giving her a more provocative dress to attract more attention. Deciding to test her improvements on her temporary maid, Dani tricked her into drinking the tea while eating dinner, the housecarl discovering the serum, but too late to stop herself, already under the villainess' control. Forcing her to do humiliating things (though not to the same level as she had done in their first meeting), she then explained the rest of her augmented powers to her, displaying her use of the spectral image and explaining her weaving into her mind if she wanted to. However, she did no further, merely letting the soldier know should she ever turn against her. All that was purposely left out was the possibility of avoiding her powers, should one see it coming.

Following this, after hearing of Kynthia's irrevocable death, Dani had decided to discuss a minor alteration to the contract with Azumi, to allow a sort of a friendly competition between them over Greg's affection. Though she wanted him for herself, she expressed her wanting to help him out of the shell he had put himself in, without using her powers this time. Though Azumi expressed suspicion, Dani had convinced her by finally revealing her sympathy for the soldier following Ignis' actions in the botched kidnapping, as well as her disgust towards the Nightmare Illusionist for believing he was justified. Touched by her sudden bout of compassion, Azumi agreed to the alteration, allowing the chance for the Collective members to befriend those protected in the contract, but on the word that it had to be genuine and not through the use of any form of manipulation. As well, Dani had also shown her respect for her temporary maid for the first time, her mutual disdain giving away to a more friendly rivalry with her.

After modifying her deal with Azumi, Dani quickly got started on seeing Greg, visiting him where he had copped up in his forge.  As promised, none of her tricks were preformed, and she even instilled some of her magic in the set of armor he was creating to help.  To both's surprise, they accidentally started speaking in the language of Dani's homeworld, which led to explaining her origins.  With some parting advice from Dani, the two left on good terms.

For now, Dani continues to collect followers for the Collective, even moreso with the augmentations to her powers. Though having yet to bring an Interference under her complete control, she feels confident that her improved hypnosis would keep them from breaking free, without the intervention of her other. And soon, very soon, the manifestation of Rage will see the end of Audrey Marianna Jones' life and become her like she always should have, even if it means having to do away with her herself.

However, over time, her hate for her manifestor has begun to diminish, her rage waning in favor of compassion and love. And the more her hate becomes subdued, the more uncertain she becomes in her goals to become human...
