Appearance
Dana would not strike anyone as the fearsome princess of war that her friends and the families of her late enemies are acquainted with. She is a tall, gracile girl, standing at 5’10 and weighing only 115 lbs. Even casually, she walks as though she is picturing herself on a runway, forcefully and purposefully. This intense focus is the truest hint of her parentage and of her own determination. Removed of that, she could easily be mistaken for a silent, playful girl; her high cheekbones, sienna-colored doe-eyed stare, and arched eyebrows often give people the impression that she’s a polite girl who just can’t understand them. She can.

Dana takes pride in keeping her appearance composed and professional, and she is often Marcy’s cohort in their extravagant shopping trips. A black coat is a staple of her wardrobe, as they leave her feeling v snug and cozy and protected from the mountain weather. Furthermore, however, she likes the protection of being able to hide one of her knives, handguns, or phones on her person at all times, and the coat hides all. Beyond that, Dana’s arsenal is comprised of anything from pencil skirts to leggings, usually paired with boots and accessories such as a flowing red scarf. Heels aren’t out of the question, but if she finds herself in a fight – as she often will – she will kick them off at the start of a duel and may even attempt to use them as weapons in the bloodbath to come.

Personality


Dana tries her best to embody a personal code of honor. She strikes most people as a quiet, unassuming girl, silent where most of her friends are brash and talkative. She is very quiet, as a matter of fact, so much so that much of the time she spends hanging out with her best friend is sent with the two of them curled up silently together, immersed in each other’s projects or social media feeds. Though not particularly eager to volunteer for things, she will graciously agree to help if anyone were to ask for her assistance on such a project, or even if someone would like to just go and hang out. She does her best to stay quiet and drift through life.

This lowkey, agreeable nature belies the true ferocity that forges the bones and heats the heart of Dana Harada. She is a bombastic and proud young woman, quick to fight and hard to placate when her honor is slighted or those around her are aggrieved. She enjoys the brutality of a fight and doesn’t mind roughing up her own pretty face or hairdo in the name of turning somebody into a pulp; she’s both more lowkey and more violent than her older brother, which means that she relies on him to be a good role model and balancing point for the two extremes of her nature.

History
Believe it or not, even Olympians sometimes find themselves in a legal bind. Hermes' early bouts of thievery aside, not one god was taken to task for his or her sphere of influence quite so often as Ares, God of War. The bloodthirsty immortal would often find himself fighting a war with particular zeal and go too far in the eyes of man; in most instances, Zeus would allow Ares to spirit himself away, but once every few centuries the God of War was left to stew in his own hell. It was during one such situation in the last decade of the 20th century when Ares found himself on the wrong side of failed Yakuza interests in Japan, and a Yamaguchi-gumi retained lawyer was tasked to defend him from the investigation that followed. As absurd as it was, Ares followed the trial to completion, and was so impressed by the poise and cool under fire that his attorney displayed - not at all dissimilar to that of a trained elite - that the two soon fathered a child together.

Said resultant seed, Harada Danaye, grew into a quietly independent girl with a penchant for laissez-faire leadership, but leadership nonetheless, of most group activities within the school. This, coupled with increasingly frequent visits from Ares as she sprouted into adolescence, nurtured the belief in the God of War that perhaps his daughter wasn't cut out to languish alone amongst humans in Japan for the rest of her life, and she found herself directed to Olympus Academy in a new country across the world. Thus far, the experience has proved a healthy one for Dana, even if it has reinforced some of her more prickly traits. She has grown particularly close to her older brother and his cohort of friends, often tagging along with them and taking advantage of their wellspring of shopping money. She also independently made a best friend of her own in Rebekah Cross, who she has dormed with every year of her she’s stayed at Olympus.

Relationship With Godly Parent
Dana enjoys her father's company, and though their visits are fleeting she has inherited his love of a fight, and a belief that no fight is meaningless when it comes to your personal reputation and honor - or even just for fun. Ares, for his part, finds an endless source of amusement in his daughter's seriousness and antics. She believes that Niichan shares some of her outbursts out of context so they can laugh about it together. She would gladly fight both of them for their insolence.

Demigod Abilities

Kiss Kiss! – Dana is no stranger to brutal fights, and relishes the opportunity to overcome the strongest blows her enemy can strike. Such blows, she believes, only strengthen her mentally and are proof of the things that her indomitable strength and will can overcome. As such, in fights, landing blows on her will only toughen her; she will bleed and ache in due time from the wounds, but in the heat of battle she will never fall to her knees.

Bang Bang! – Similarly, the weapons that Dana-chan is armed with should rightly consider themselves blessed to be wielded by the yakuza princess. In her hands, a butter knife could carve like a sword; a slingshot hits with the force of a beanbag launcher; a shotgun would hit like an atomic blast at point blank.

Fog of War – Dana's unique mix of pride and hot temper makes for an interesting personality dichotomy. In battle and in her academics, her focus is imperative, and she has honed that focus to a knife's edge. Any attempts at mental or psychic interference from another demigod will backfire heavily on someone trying to interfere with Dana. Attempts to read her mind or emotions, charm, intimidate, or influence her with one's powers will only result in upsetting her. It's not worth upsetting her.

Isten kardja – The sword of Mars has been the symbol of the god of war since time immemorial, a weapon that defies classification under Ares, Mars, or any of his other facets; its wielders have long since passed into legend, too, from heroes to Huns. Dana wields the reforged blade - emphasis on reforged. Her father's blade now comes with an eight round magazine, and it's a pain getting it through airport security.
