Danitia was born to the Goren family, one of the original 13 founding families of Essolia. As such, they are considered Nobility, and duly appoint a Senior and Junior member to the House of Lords. At current, Dani’s father, Janir, is the Senior; her older sister, Tasira, is Junior. The current head of House Goren is Janir’s older brother, Stenos Goren.
Unbeknownst to almost everybody, the Goren family, while not formally aligned with a Ministry, are still very vital to the Essolian government: they are the government’s spies and assassins, doing the dark and dirty deeds that high-minded public officials cannot. They are known for constantly traveling to the other domains, supposedly on vacations or to do “charity work”, when in reality they are taking care of some of Essolia’s trickier problems.
While not everyone in the Goren family is an assassin or spy, everyone within the family knows about their secret service to their domain. They are, of course, charged with keeping it a secret. Because of this, the Gorens are very, very careful whom they wed; if word got out that the government had its own hidden force of assassins…
Danitia is the best and brightest of her generation when it comes to the family’s secret trade. Stenos trained her well and quickly saw her potential. Her uncle is a harsh taskmaster, but his methods have produced success repeatedly, and Dani is his clear successor when talk comes ‘round to the Gorens’ true business.
Dani is skilled at stealth, evasion, seduction, and coercion, as well as poisons and potions, the use of daggers and garrotes, and ‘interrogation’ (read: torture). Like nearly all of her family, she is Fey, and her abilities only make her more dangerous: 
•	She can hide perfectly in shadows, undetectable to all but the most trained eye; at night, she is practically invisible when she wants to be*
•	She can move from shadow to shadow; at night, she is capable of full-on teleportation*
•	She can will herself not to be noticed by most people; only those actively looking for her specifically will find her (or those with a magic that can cancel this effect)
*Night is her Boon; she is perfectly capable of invisibility and teleportation during the day but does not think she is.
In her 124 years of life to date, she has killed nearly 60 people and obtained objects or information from hundreds more. She is on track to surpass her uncle’s record at this rate, and she’s quite proud of her service to her family and her domain. Still, she is not always entirely sanguine about her actions. She hides this well. Her assassin name is “Duskblade”; this is how the few who know how to contract the Goren family services know her, and she is starting to be requested specifically for certain jobs.
Dani is considered beautiful, elegant, and reserved; not “ice princess” cold, but she’s a long way from “gregarious”. She always appears in public in the most fashionable dresses, and has a strange habit of wearing gloves – and ones long enough to cover her wrists – at all times. She’s perfectly nice at Society parties, and is often doing charity work not only around the continent but overseas as well. Her (known) hobbies are photography, gardening, and piano, and she’s regarded as a marvelous dancer.
The Society papers consistently rank her in the top three of eligible noblewomen, and she has a great many would-be suitors. But the Goren family is very old-fashioned and traditional; any man Dani marries must have the approval of Patriarch Stenos, at the very least, and hopefully the blessing of her father, Janir. Though she dances and talks and flirts appropriately with a great many men at parties, she has yet to see anyone outside of such gatherings or bring someone around to her uncle’s house. Still, at 124, she’s young yet (Human lifespans on Eretria tend towards the 250’s; for Fey, lifespan is usually closer to 300/400, though some have managed as long as 500 in Essolia’s rather sheltered quarters), so no one is too worried.
