Daniela Phantom is a main character from Grim Tales: Afterbirth. She is the daughter of Mandy and Dan Phantom but is under the care of her mother and her husband Grim Reaper. She is the twin sister of Manny and the half-sister of Grim Jr. and Minimandy.
Grim Tales[]
History[]
Daniela, along with her brother Manny were conceived shortly after the Halloween Town incident and born several months later. To thank their father, Dan Phantom, for his integral role in the battle Mandy agreed to have his child, in large part to serve her own interests.
Mandy also promised Dan that she would raise his heirs to be big and strong to beat him to a pulp. At age four, the twins witnessed the emotional goodbye between their older siblings, Minnie and Junior, when the latter realized that he couldn't control the power she had given him.
During the seven-year gap between Grim tales and After Birth Daniela and Manny trained themselves in the use of their powers. While Daniela chose to focus on learning the different ways to use her powers Manny focused his efforts on developing his raw power.
Afterbirth[]
Manny and Dani were in the middle of one of their many fights when Junior returned home after a three-year absence for Minnie's 20th birthday, Manny apparently on the losing end of the fight despite Dani not really fighting back.
The fight was ultimately broken up by Junior, who had just come back home after a three-year absence, and Mandy, whom has a strict policy about the twins not using their powers in the house. Later the twins are shown spying on Junior, Mandy, and Grim as they're discussing the missing Minnie. Junior flies off in a rage when he discovers that she's been kidnapped by Boogeyman and that Mandy and Grim decided not to do anything about it.
Dani makes the two of them invisible and intangible to sneak out and follow Junior. Later at Junior's campsite the twins watch him make contact with Mimi for help, whom Manny immediately develops a crush on. While Manny is getting a closer look at Mimi Empheles kidnaps Dani for Drax's experiments. Dani awakens restrained inside Drax's machines and demanding an explanation he gives one.
Dani's unique half ghost physiology means that he can use her for his "Harvester" machine which extracts the essence of living creatures, distills and concentrates all the worth wild qualities into a transferable energy that can be put into another being. Unfortunately, the process is very much lethal, and Dani won't survive. When questioned about Empheles Drax explains that he's a Basilican.
The Basilican are a race that's nearly extinct, in fact when Drax found Empheles he was half dead and had to replace over forty percent of his body with cybernetic technology. Drax tells Dani to discard all hopes that her brothers are coming to save her. He once had a sibling, a sister no less, he has no doubts that the two of them would have gotten along greatly.
However, his sister was nothing short of a hindrance to him, so he killed her. Drax thus begins the process of extracting Dani's ghost essence causing her to fall unconscious. Dani is later awoken to Manny's reckless attacks on Empheles. After Manny fails to kill Empheles on his own Dani finally gets through to Manny and he uses intangibility to dodge Empheles attack and destroy the machine restraining Dani.
The two team up for one final attack, combining Dani's self-multiplication ability with Manny's Ghostly Wail to hit Empheles with an overwhelmingly powerful attack that destroys the entire facility, mortally wounds Empheles and Drax, and drains the twins' powers. Empheles, having gained a newfound respect for the twins, tells them the quickest way to escape his exploding body.
Narrowly escaping the explosion, the twins are ambushed by Creeper and his demonic subordinates who are crushed and killed by Mimi using her wrecking ball. Later after the battle between Junior, Minnie, and Boogieman is over Mimi is seen carrying the twins to their older siblings Junior has Mimi transport them and the souls of Boogie's victims to safety.
Personality[]
In terms of personality, she somewhat takes after her mother; she's calm, levelheaded and mature for her age much like how Mandy was when she was her age. Regardless she's somewhat arrogant as well, believing that her wider mastery of her powers makes her the superior fighter between herself and Manny[1]. She also makes a habit out of it to insult and to humiliate her twin brother, for his foolishness[2] and for his lack of skill[3]. Perhaps as a result of her arrogant and mature personality she sees herself as a proper lady and expects to be treated as such[4][5]. She also believed that her royal blood entitled her to a certain level of respect[6]. Despite her aristocratic upbringing, she does show respect for those who do show respect, redeem themselves and show a willingness to be better[7]. She disgusted by people like Drax, who are completely devoid of any dignity and are sociopathic sadists[7].
Her relationship with Minnie seems to be somewhat better than that with either of her brothers: she and Manny constantly fight, according to Junior using attacks that one would use to kill each other[4]. She does show a certain pride however on Manny's part, when he not only is able to finally become intangible but also managed to trick Empheles into freeing her[8]. Together the twins shared a desire to leave the castle once in a while, yet no opportunity was given, before Junior's arrival[2]. At first, she views Junior with some disdain for abandoning their family for so many years[9] but regardless refers to him as a "real man"[4]. Regardless of what she thinks of her siblings she genuinely loves them and works together with them to help one-another[10][8]. In general, she takes great pride in her family and is displeased when one shows disrespect to them[11]. She also has shown a desire to meet their father and is visibly distraught by the idea that they never met him[7]
Appearance[]
As a human, Daniela is a 7-year-old with fair skin, red eyes, and black hair that reaches her waist. As a ghost, Dani's hair turns white and seems to dissolve in flames at the end, and her skin is a pale greenish color, like her father and twin brother. In either form, Daniela wears a long-sleeved black dress that opens up to reveal a layered, white underskirt, a dark pink ribbon with matching stockings, dark brown boots, and a black headband with a skull to symbolize her stepfather. In both forms, Daniela and Manny retain their original eye color.
Powers & Abilities[]
Daniela is a Half Ghost and is gifted with a variety of ghost-based techniques.
- Flight: A standard ghost power, Daniela is able to fly, without the need of wings. Her speed ranges from motionless floating[3] to high-speed flying[12].
- Intangibility: A standard ghost power, Daniela is able to become completely intangible as well as turn everything she touches intangible[2].
- Mind Link: Daniela and her brother share a mind link with each other, so that when one of them is hurt, the other will feel this as well. It is clear that they have no control over this ability, and this is a passive ability[10].
- Power Sharing: Daniela can share her abilities with others, by touching them. This ability drains her power however quickly, forcing to return to her human form soon[2][13].
