Danae Galavir
As the one person in the office who knows all the ins and out of their network, the best one to fix any issues, as well as the only person besides Lucinda with access to every file on it, she is the one person no one wants to upset, but she is also the one person everyone can’t help but like. She has an unnatural attractiveness that seems to frustrate her to no end, as she doesn’t want the attention.
Physical Description
Despite being the shortest one of the office, and even fairly short for a high elf, she still somehow manages to look amazing. Her long, flowing maroon hair is kept straight and she lets grow to well past her backside, going almost to her knees. While she does follow with the office style of red painted lips and nails for work, she doesn’t really like doing it, as she prefers to go without when not working. She does like eye shadow however, and tends to go for a green smokey look for that, keeping her “mysterious look” as she jokingly calls it.
A little on the heavier side of a healthy weight, she tends to have the extra mass end up in all the right places to add to her allure and overall attractiveness. It’s whispered that some people cause problems with their computers just to get her to show up and fix them, so they can get a look at her, something with frustrates her as much as it flatters her.
Physical Quirks
Despite being more timid, and not really liking the attention she gets from her looks, she subconsciously likes it, and will move and dress in ways to show her body off. Quite a few people have gotten an eyeful up her dress or into her cleavage while she was fixing something, all because of her subconscious desire to show off.
Clothing Style
Preferring dresses with plunging necklines that show everything, and skirts that can ride up and show even more, she will show off as much of her upper body’s skin as she can get away with at work. She also loves the look of knee high boots, especially when they add to her height. In her off time, she’s usually wearing even less, wandering around her home in usually just her underwear and a bra, and going with a tied shirt and cutoff shorts in public.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Losing her parents to a drunk driver when she was still a baby, she grew up with her grandparents, who took her in and raised her as their own. She had a normal suburban life, with a comfortable living standard. She always seemed to be drawn to technology and so ended up getting into computers at a very early age. Her grandparents encouraged this, and made sure she had whatever she wanted with her passion, allowing her to excel.
Because of her proximity to computers, she also tended to hang around the nerd crowd, always ending up the most popular one of the group, not just because of how she looked, but also how much she knew. Being just as good with nerd culture as computers, she was happily accepted by both, and made a lot of good friends that way.
Education
As she grew, she always talked about going to the most prestigious place for nerds in the area, MIT. Her grandparents knew this was her dream, but they also knew that they couldn’t afford it. After overhearing them one night, she came in to the kitchen the next day and announced she was applying to a local tech college, something with a good reputation and much more affordable. When she graduated, she moved around few years, working as an intern to pick up other tech skills and software she would need.
Employment
In her third year of internship at a local business, she met the owner of the business’ legal representation, Lucinda. She was quickly scooped up for her law practice, much to the dismay of her clients. She has been working there ever since.
Morality & Philosophy
Keeping herself calm most of the time, she has been known to let loose with a little ‘gamer rage’ from time to time when she’s being beaten in some game. She tends to be very upbeat and is quite responsible when it comes to work. She also learned at a young age to not be so impulsive, especially with money, so while she does live for Steam sales, she knows to not spend too much.
Personality
Motivation
Usually with her head in a book or reading about something new on the internet, she loves to discover and learn new things. She’s always tolerant of other people’s way of doing things, and will happily learn about it, on the off chance she can find a way to improve her own way.
Likes & Dislikes
Being a nerd and a computer geek, naturally she was attracted to online gaming, and is always happy to try out the newest ones when she can. She is heavily involved in nerd culture, and is very upset with how it is being co-opted by those who used to bully her friends when she was growing up. The fake “girl gamers” she sees all the time now are one of her biggest pet peeves, and accusing her of being one will get you challenged to nerd trivia. She also loves to go to conventions and cosplays regularly, usually picking something overly sexy without really thinking about it.
Virtues
Always empathetic towards others, she tries to make sure that people who are genuine aren’t left out or shunned. She embraces tolerance and openness to people as her way of sharing the things she loves, but won’t let people use that to walk all over her or the things she cares about. She is just as protective of the culture she grew up in as she is of the people within it, and will fight against those wronging it.
Vices
Growing up in the nerd culture, she also picked up some of the bad habits, like a love of soft drinks, junk food, chocolate and pizza. Luckily, her responsible nature has kept it from leading her to being unhealthy, just a little on the curvy side. When she was first getting into computers, she also got into hacking and learned a bit of the security breaking stuff. She now uses that knowledge to protect her employer from hacking threats
Quirks
While she doesn’t always like all the attention her looks get her, for some reason she can’t help but do things that get more of it. She doesn’t quite get that it’s just as much her mannerisms as it is her appearance that is doing it, and she’s only making it worse by being as mysterious as she is.
Values
She find value in knowledge and skill, and those who prove they have it earn her respect. She is very much about meritocracy, and those who demand respect without proving they have merit are more likely to get a dry quip from her than any respect. If they push matters, or try and bully those she cares about, her temper will flare and she will find a way to make sure you regret it, if not immediately, some time later.
Sexual Style
Very loyal to whomever she decides to be with, she is always up for something new. She doesn’t advertise her interest in someone, nor does she even talk about this part of her life at work, preferring to keep it more modest when she tries to seduce them. But when in the relationship, she has a high sex drive, and loves to give massages, having picked up a couple classes on them to help her partner feel better. She hasn’t shown any particular interest in any one gender, but she does seem to only date those who are part of the nerd community.
Social
Contacts & Relations
While she is an only child, she was told when she was old enough that she had a twin sister that died during child birth. This makes her birthdays a little tough, as she always wonders about what her sister would be like, and so wishes her a quiet happy birthday. Her grandparents are in their 90’s now, and she knows they will be gone soon, so she spends as much time with them, and makes sure they always know how much she appreciates everything they did for her.
She has plenty of contacts and friends in all areas of nerd culture and gaming. While she has social media, she tends to avoid using it, finding that the people on it are usually too shallow for her liking.
Social Aptitude
While she is extroverted, that only seems to apply with those who can keep up with her intellectually. If she finds herself in a group of people who aren’t into the same kinds of things she is, she will withdraw and usually leave as soon as it’s polite.
Religious Views
Although she was raised as a Protestant, she isn’t sure she believes in a God, especially since she was told of her twin sister. She will steer the conversation to other topics, if it ever comes to religion, preferring to not speak on it.
Mannerisms
Usually quite upbeat and always ready to tell a joke, she keeps her personal life personal, and doesn’t like to talk about herself. She also doesn’t like following trends and will sometimes end up picking up the strangest habits, like her most recent trend of performing card tricks randomly. She has a fondness for dry humour, especially British humour like Monty Python and Black Adder.
Hobbies & Pets
Between her nerd culture hobbies, including comics, anime, video games, conventions, numerous TV shows and tabletop role-playing, she has a very busy out of work schedule. She also has a white Persian cat named Fufu she keeps. She will spend quite a bit of time brushing her fur before bed, just to make sure she’s “the prettiest kitty in the whole world.” Unknown to most, she also has a bit of skill in magic and magical programming, although she doesn’t talk about it, as she feels it’s personal.
Speech Style
While she did grow up in Boston, she never picked up the accent, which many people are thankful for. She also has a tendency of talking very fast when excited or really interested in the topic she’s discussing.
Political Affiliation & Activism
She tends to avoid political discussion or talking about any kind of activism, but she does regularly take her gaming console to the local kids hospital and spends at least one day a month playing games with the children there. She also donates to a charity that gets gaming consoles for other hospitals as she wants to share the joy of gaming with those who need the happiness the most.
