Daniel Thornton

They'd been lounging around since lunch. Daniel had been working a little bit while Amelie tapped away on her laptop, both of them just sitting in Daniels apartment in comfortable silence. At some point Daniel had gotten bored of actual work and started sketching his favourite subject.

"So Miss Coombs, how does it feel to be the muse for international artist superstar Daniel Thornton?" He said, smiling over at her as he drew.

Daniel stood outside the garage and looked it over. So this was what his brothers boyfriend did for a living. Huh.

He shifted from foot to foot and wondered if ten minutes was too long to be standing outside or if he was only in creeper territory after twenty. He was going to have to go in or risk looking like some weirdo. And he was a Thornton. He got enough of that already.

It was that thought that finally spurred him into crossing the road and pushing open the door to the little office/waiting room. There was a guy he didn't recognise behind the counter and he raised an eyebrow as Daniel approached.

"I'm looking for Davin. Is he around?" The guy didn't look inclined to answer so Daniel clear his throat. "He, uh, knows my brother. I'm Daniel Thornton." That seemed to shift the man and he turned in his seat to open the door to the workshop area.

"Davin! Your boyfriends brothers here after I watched him spend ten minutes across the street working up the nerve!" He shouted.

Well this was going to go well.

DEMEANOR: Daniel is shrewd but in a quiet way. He hides his smarts under his artistic temperament and his father ignores him to concentrate on the others.

Daniel had been fussing with the studio for three hours. He'd tidied as much as was humanly possible and was now flitting between the apartment and the studio bringing down everything and anything he could think of that might make Amelie more comfortable.

It was a shock when she'd said yes to him painting her and he didn't want to fuck anything up by forgetting something fundamental. He'd got drinks and snacks laid out and a radio station playing quietly in the background. Normally he'd throw open the windows and doors and let the breeze in but he didn't want her to be cold or uncomfortable.

Eventually, when he thought everything was in place he sat on a stool and looked around at the clock. She was due any minute.

"Okay then..." He said to himself, leg bouncing and biting his lip.

CHARACTER NAME: Daniel Thornton

CHARACTER AGE: 25

BACKGROUND & HISTORY: The youngest brother, Daniel often feels misunderstood at home. His parents typically overlook him in favor of his shining older brothers and darling younger sister. He harbors no resentment for this position, as it turns out. Daniel likes feeling free of the pressure he observes weighing on his brothers. Daniel harbors more artistic leanings and likes to express himself through his art. Quiet and observant, Daniel sometimes uses his own invisibility to his advantage. He knows more of his family’s secrets than he should, which might, someday, come to haunt him. Daniel is close with his sister June, and will do anything to protect her. All of the Thornton boys are, but Daniel especially.

PERSONALITY: Daniel is shrewd but in a quiet way. He hides his smarts under his artistic temperament and his father ignores him to concentrate on the others. He's a quiet young man but his eyes and ears are always open. He has a great memory and he cultivates it in private, remembering everything. When it comes to socialising, he prefers the quiet of a coffee shop to the noise of a bar but he sometimes blows off steam with June if the occasion calls for it. He's more interested in the social dynamics of the Cove than he is having actual relationships for himself.

OPINION OF THE RIVALRY: He is curious about the rivalry, finds it fascinating. He studies the events of it the way one might study an exquisite painting, determined to figure out his own role in how the rivalry affects the town.

LIFESTYLE: Riiiiich but he doesn't care. He lives in a small apartment on the edge of the good side of town which is as far as his father would let him go. He pays his bills by doing a few commissions for bars and cafes - generic stuff that he hates but does because his 'friends' from the elitest schools he was forced to attend pay him ridiculous amounts of money that he squirrels away for the day his father inevitably cuts him off.

HUMAN, WITCH, OR SIREN: Human.

PLAYED BY: Josh Hutcherson
