Danielle Todds

Danielle Todds (also known by her nickname of 'Danny'- the male form with a 'Y' instead of an 'I' at the end) is a fictional character created by legendeld in his mini-serial fanfic An Overlooked Flaw. A beautiful young woman (described as having long, dark hair, large brown eyes, olive skin and a figure similar to that of Quinn Morgendorffer), she comes to attention when she asks Quinn out on a date - and as a test of a 'dating rating system' invented by the Fashion Club, scores higher than even Mack Mackenzie. Quinn agrees to go out on a date with Danny (so nicknamed because her father wanted a boy), and finds herself strangely (and quickly) growing attracted to her (the feeling is immediately mutual), resulting in their beginning a romantic relationship.

Danielle is from a wealthy family that comes from New Mexico, and her grandmother is Egyptian by birth. She drives a 2007 Mustang with satellite radio, and seems to have adequate available cash on hand for impulse shopping. She is an amateur astronomer, and enjoys camping and shopping.

Danielle 'came out' when she was fifteen, after dating several boys and not finding them of interest. Her parents are apparently unaware of (or choosing not to notice) their daughter's sexual leanings, and her siblings are not bothered by this. Later, upon meeting Quinn, we find that not only Danny's parents aware of her sexuality, but are stunned by the fact that she's managed to find someone that they can actually approve so highly as they do of Quinn.

Danielle Todds -- Ringbearer

This variation of Danielle lived on an Earth that suffered a Class Four HST outbreak. Her family was in the process of moving from New Mexico to the East Coast when they were caught up in it. Ringbearers arrived in this reality and Danielle was one of the first chosen to aid in the struggle. After the planet was reclaimed, she traveled to Lawndale to pick up various item that had been shipped before the planned move and found herself drawn to a red brick house that stood in ruins. After leaving her Earth to continue service as a Ringbearer she found out about her counterpart’s relationship with Quinn Morgendorffer on a large number of other worlds. This has lead to a near obsessive desire to avoid the Morgendorffers out of fear she would ‘steal’ another Danielle’s chance at happiness.

During an encounter with the Legion of Lawndale Heroes, Danielle encountered that reality's Quinn, and found that the extremely high-ranked lightning powers Quinn possesses are the manifestation of that Quinn's elemental affinity, which is also Quintessance; it has been summarized that in most realities, the versions of Quinn and Danielle both have an affinity for Quintessance, with Danielle's slant being the 'life-energy/healing', or 'light' aspect and Quinn's electrical/lightning or 'dark' aspect making them two halves of a whole. (There is some truth to that, as the Danielle Todds in the Legion's reality has extraordinarily powerful healing and revival abilities - and even though the two have not (as of this time) even met, that reality's Danielle is aware of her world's Quinn, and seems to have a very strong attraction towards her.)

She has served as a Ringbearer for just over 70 years and is the third of only five known Ringbearers with the affinity for Quintessence. This affinity allows her abilities unknown to even the Ringmasters themselves; when using her Ring, she is not subject to the anti-tech limitation of all other Ringbearers. Her forcefields are capable of deflecting or absorbing energies from tech-based weapons (even lightsabers), she is capable of interfacing with or controlling technology (as well as imbuing tech-based artifacts and devices with limited sentience and communication abilities), and she does not need her Ring to heal or revive deceased individuals. Danielle can revive someone up to a month after death, or create a new body for them, summon their lifeforce back and join them together (although the process for doing so is incredibly tiring and painful).

Having served through numerous campaigns, she is rarely rattled in combat.

Elemental Affinity – Quintessence

Ring symbol – A lightning bolt. (It is often mistaken for a tree.)

Ring inscription – 'To heal all worlds before I rest.' (Written in Egyptian Hieroglyphics.)

Appearances: Diplomacy, Journey’s Debt, A Honey of a Deal, Legion of Lawndale Heroes 13:4.

Other appearances

Danielle has also appeared in Legion of Lawndale Heroes 12:6, where she briefly consoled Martin Peters on his (seemingly unrequited) feelings for Daria Morgendorffer. It was revealed that Danielle is a Cadet First Class, has already been accepted to the USAES Elite Academy for medical training, and has a very serious crush on Quinn, even though they have never met.

The Danielle of the LLH universe possesses the metahuman power of 'grafting' - an advanced form of psionic healing that allows her to perform psionically-augmented surgery of any fashion on a subject regardless of the conditions involved, how severely damaged the patient is, or the availability of medical supplies, facilities and/or personnel. She also possesses the ability to synthesize biological materials as needed to facilitate the healing of individuals with missing or severely-damaged organs and appendages (including whole blood, skin tissue for severely burned individuals, teeth, limbs, etc.), as well as the drugs and other compounds necessary to alleviate a patient's condition. (Danielle can either stimulate their growth within/upon the patient's body, or inside a sterile 'organic sac' that can sustain the biological materials until they are used for the patient. (The organic sacs has a finite suspension time, so Danielle usually does not create the materials until they are needed.)

She can reverse physical damage caused by non-traumatic conditions, reverse medical conditions or cause them to go into remission (if such can be caused by medical correction of their physical form), and even perform elective cosmetic surgical procedures such as liposuction (but to a far greater degree than possible by normal surgeons), 'face lifts' and 'tummy tucks'. In addition, Danielle can use her power to heal herself; because of the nature of her power, it is possible for Danielle to restimulate or replace the entire cellular makeup of her body (or of others) in order to circumvent the effects of old age, allowing her to act as a living, virtual 'Fountain of Youth'.

Daniele's power extends to other medical procedures besides trauma-related surgery; she can also perform dental and optical procedures as well. In addition, Danielle's power extends to other lifeforms besides humans; she can work on other Terran-based lifeforms (but would need to be telepathically linked to a veterinarian, who could guide her through the procedure). Side-effects of her power gives Danielle total immunity to radiation, all forms of disease (bacterial or viral-based), and a high resistance to poisons and any drug with harmful effects. (In the unlikely event that Danielle would need to be treated with medications, her powers can be temporarily shut down by a telepath. Danielle can also activate/deactivate her powers at will.

In essence, Danielle is a walking M*A*S*H unit, capable of saving untold numbers of lives (and making unholy amounts of money, once her Federal Service obligation expires).
