- ̗̀ DANAE SMEE ̖́-

is now an archive. You may find Danae Smee and all of Hayden’s other muses @ wcndcrscflifc.

“Danae Rhyannon,” she introduced, leaving out her last name. She didn’t want to lose a potential friend because of who her dad was. Her hand went out to shake the other--it was the polite thing to do, after all. “You play anything else?”

Danae had been sneaking out all week. She wouldn’t be surprised if Gemma was aware, as the Smee girl wasn’t the stealthiest one of the bunch. It was on one of these many outings that she wound up on a bench in the park. Danae had a flashlight out and was reading before she heard someone approaching, “I know I shouldn’t be here, but do you think I could just stay? I’m having a hard time sleeping,” she said, thinking it was one of the security guards. 

Danae’s smile was soft and light. “Glad to hear it.” She had let her guard down a small bit the longer she was around Olivia. People were so much better up close than far away.

If there was thing Danae liked, it was hanging out with her close friend Rosie. With the kind of day she’d been having, the Smee girl just wanted to take a break and have fun with a friend. She didn’t even bother knocking the door, instead just walking in. “Hey, Rosie, do you think I could hang here for a moment?” 

Danae had never taken the time to get to know the Hook kids. And Harriet was no exception. The girl had been an infamous name around the Smee house due to her being Leland’s ‘captain’ or whatever it was those two had going on--Danae couldn’t care less. So, when the Smee girl saw the other in crossing, she decided that it was about time to get to know the other girl. “Hey, Harriet, right?”

Danae laid down on the bleachers outside of Auradon Prep--which she didn’t even attend. She had been laying there for just over an hour in pain. Earlier that day, she had stubbed her toe and then it all went down hill from there. At the sound of approaching footsteps, Danae shot up, wincing at the pain. “H-Hey there.”

is looking for someone to share her small apartment with her. Anyone is welcome as long as they can pay their half of the rent--since, ya know, Danae is a broke college kid. The apartment is 1020 ft squared, and contains just two rooms, a living area (that has a kitchenette and anything else needed for living comfortably) and a bathroom. But with plenty of curtains to separate everything out, there is no worry about infringing on privacy.

Danae would not be doing this if she didn’t have to. But she was morbidly curious about the Porter children. For the life of her, she couldn’t place where her curiosity came from. But she found herself walking alongside the Porter boy anyways, “Hey there, you might not know me, but I’m Danae.”

“I have a dilemma.” Danae said as soon as she sat down, not caring that she probably disturb the other from some important project. “And although I might not be your biggest fan, I figured that elders know best and whatnot.” The Smee girl pursed her lips as she gripped the cup in her hand. She was ashamed that she was even turning to one of the hero kids for help, but this wasn’t something she wanted to entrust her brothers with. “So can you help me or not?”

Danae had never held her family on a high pedestal, but her brothers were an exception. Even if Leland wasn’t her favorite guy to be around, he was still better than nothing. “Hey, Lee,” she said, glancing up at her brother. “Can we talk?”

Danae rubbed her fingers together--a nervous tic she had developed as a child--at the first statement. Having grown up with a ‘you’re the first mate, do what your captain says’ mantra surrounding her, calling someone--anyone--by their first name was a jolt to her systems. “Yeah, I suppose Auradon is alright. It’s a lot better than the Isle, that’s for sure.” She hadn’t meant for it to come off as uncaring, but she still resented Auradon for having locked them up for so many years.

LELAND SMEE ! @pvrateboy

It was no secret that Danae wasn’t the biggest fan of the older hero kids. The younger ones were typically fine since they had more time to grow used to the villains living alongside them, but the older ones were just unbearable. Which is why it was a god forsaken mystery as to why Danae was sliding into a booth next to one of the eldest hero kids--Li Chao--in a smallish coffee shop just off Auradon University campus.
